Andrew Farkas

Farkas and Epstein were 50/50 partners in American Yacht Harbor (AYH) in St. Thomas USVI via IGY-AYH St Thomas Holdings LLC. In 2007, Farkas invited Epstein to invest in AYH after Epstein's felony prostitution charge. Both received extraordinary USVI tax benefits (up to 90% reductions on personal and corporate income tax). Epstein saved over 300M through these arrangements. Harry Beller (Epstein financial staff) requested IGY-AYH 2012 Audited Financials and Form 1065 for chronology for Darren. Kahn forwarded Farkas real estate deal articles. Farkas sold IGY for 480M in 2022; Epstein estate previously sold its stake.

Farkas facilitated Epstein's USVI banking. In June 2009, Epstein asked Farkas about hotel rooms on St Thomas for his landscape architect, estimator, designer and helper (5 rooms for a year). Farkas responded: we never had one. Wanna buy a condo? (re dock/hotel near airport). Farkas also facilitated Epstein's 2016 St Thomas bank account opening through Richard Carrion, CEO of Banco Popular. Epstein's notes (April 2014) show mental to-do list: farkas, bitcoin, model gene bank, wyler sat ligt, farkas mortgage, boris bill daf, terje, peace, kazak mongolia.

LittleSis shows Farkas as prolific political donor: 211K to Andrew Cuomo (whom Farkas employed at Island Capital during Cuomo years out of office), 46.5K to DSCC, 38.5K to DNC, 37.8K to Eric Schneiderman, 25K to RNC, 6.9K to Obama, 5.8K to Schumer, 5.2K to Hillary Clinton. Critically: 2.3K to Bill Richardson (also in Epstein network - NM Governor who received bundled contributions from Indyke/Kahn/Starr). Also 2.5K to Cyrus Vance Jr (Manhattan DA who declined to pursue Epstein case in 2011).

IGY-AYH operational relationship: Tom Mukamal (IGY CEO, later President) and Richard Kahn were cc'd on operational emails about American Yacht Harbor fuel problems (Dec 2017). Epstein complained to Farkas/Kahn/Mukamal: when we called tom together, we were told the fuel situation was a one day event. two weeks later no fuel. Farkas replied: Not in our control. At all. Mukamal offered Elizabeth Didomenico (GM) for daily updates. Kahn tracked Farkas real estate deals (EVO/NAI). Epstein also sent IGY acquisition announcement to Cecile de Jongh and Jeanne Brennan (USVI connections) in May 2013. Farkas also quietly settled sex-video lawsuit (Doe v. Farkas, SDNY June 2025) for nonconsensual intimate images.

Farkas-Epstein emails show deep mutual trust. April 2009: Farkas to Epstein about unknown adversary: Launch codes entered. Monday it all breaks loose as we discussed. Took a little longer to orchestrate than originally expected, but they have been very, very bad. May 2013: Epstein: see you wednesday, I really would like to resolve it. March 2013: Farkas critiqued Epstein writing: No. Your writing is not strong enough. I have asked one of my guys to try the first draft. Ultimately I will have to do it. Regular calls/meetings through March 2019 (last scheduled call).

Jonathan Farkas (Andrew's brother) also had direct email contact with Epstein (20+ emails in HF Parquet). Topics included Trump politics (Told you Barr would protect Trump known him for 50 years, April 2019), stock tips (apple at 110), women (Jeffrey please help me here is she a hooker, May 2017; Epstein: alcoholic, drugs, unstable, consumate liar. CAREFUL), and Adam Wyden/Elon Musk intro. Jonathan talks to Trump/Melania (Somers and I talked to trump and Melania last night). Andrew also photographed with Epstein front row at 10th annual Victoria's Secret fashion show Nov 9, 2005.

Andrew Farkas of Island Global Yachting (717 Fifth Avenue 18th Floor NYC) owned and operated American Yacht Harbor (AYH) in St Thomas USVI where Epstein was a tenant. Farkas handled Epstein lease renewals (EFTA02435921, Aug 2009 - Epstein requested 10 free parking spaces and no rent escalations). In March 2019, Epstein asked Farkas to obtain a Banco Popular de Puerto Rico contact from Richard Carrion, wanting to move more banking business there (EFTA02632600). Kahn simultaneously reminded Epstein to open new Banco Popular accounts connected to Farkas (EFTA02631399). Epstein discussed Banco Popular decisions and opportunity zone investments with Farkas (EFTA02637274). Farkas also appeared in Epstein notes about bitcoin and mortgages (EFTA02712390, Apr 2014). Harry Beller reported to Epstein on AYH operations (EFTA02708023, Jul 2013). Cecile de Jongh (former USVI First Lady) was involved in Epstein-AYH communications.

Farkas and Epstein exchanged nearly 2000 emails showing a deep 15-year friendship (2005-2019). Farkas called Epstein one of the blessings in my life. Epstein visited Farkas during his 2008-09 jail work-release in West Palm Beach. Farkas visited Epstein's private island. In Nov 2010, Epstein invited Farkas to breakfast at 9 E 71st with Prince Andrew: Prince Andrew, the other one, will be at my house all week...breakfast? Farkas came the next morning at 8:30. Calendar shows regular meetings: lunch, breakfast, appointments.

Farkas was named as TRUSTEE of Epstein's 2001 Trust One alongside Darren K. Indyke and Jes Staley. EFTA01266332 shows Epstein revoked/terminated this trust, with Indyke and Farkas signing as Trustees (Jan 27, 2012 and March 1, 2012 respectively). EFTA01266236 shows Farkas was also named as successor EXECUTOR in Epstein's will, alongside Jes Staley, singly and in the order named. This is the deepest possible fiduciary relationship.
