Hello Wendy,
My name is Michael Lyon in Pittsfield Massachusetts. I am an owner of an aviation company (Lyon
Aviation Inc) that flies people around the world in private jets. I have worked with a Customs Agent out of
Albany NY in the past, Mark Cesleone. One of the ti I rovided Mark was on or about February 7th or
8th 2015. We bans a lone woman of to St. Thomas on February
07th 2015 from and returned her on February 1 th 2015. We found this odd that this woman was
flying privately, because she didn't appear to be able to afford this flight that may have costs $35,000. I
suspected this woman might have or be transporting drugs. She was questioned for several hours by ST
Thomas Customs on her return. The only info gathered was that she was an escort and not drug related.
This woman was transported to and from St. Thomas on a private helicopter to a nearby island.
Being in the private flying arena for 35 years one tends to learn patterns and flight requests. I was always
keenly aware of one particular "Charter Broker" ( Dan Ryan, owner of BIG FLY INC.
who appeared to be working for the same person (many years) and filling numerous requests to the
island of St. Thomas from all different parts of the USA. A "Charter Broker doesn't own or operate
aircraft, but represents clients in finding aircraft for their particular missions.
This particular flight that we performed on behalf of Dan Ryan always stuck in my head. One reason was
the frequency of the requests to the same island and because these were great revenue requests. I
always thought these flights were for someone in the St. Thomas region bringing in many guests and had
to be quite wealthy.
After the Epstein story broke the news, I instantly remembered the St. Thomas flight and knew
with almost certainty that Dan Ryan was the 'CHARTER BROKER" fulfilling the requests to transport
people into and of out of St. Thomas on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein or his representatives. I'm sure Dan will
have passenger names and where he was being paid from. Again the requests originated in many parts
of the USA and Los Angeles was one of the more favorite routes. I do prefer my name NOT be used if
inquiring with Dan, but always happy to discuss with your agency.
