The legal/court database vacuum around Iozzo — zero criminal charges, zero sanctions listings, zero FARA registrations — despite CHS claims of zero-day sales to Hezbollah, Saudi, GCHQ — is investigatively anomalous.
Tom Mukamal (President, Island Global Yachting Ltd, 717 Fifth Ave 18th Floor NYC) emailed Epstein directly about AYH facilities plans in July 2015, cc'ing Andrew Farkas. Direct business relationship as Mukamal managed the marina in which Epstein held 50% via IGO Company LLC.

Galinas negotiated with Epstein to take over the 34 E 69th St lease, agreeing to pay Epstein $100K for improvements. Galinas independently secured a letter agreement with OFM for a new 5-year lease at $16K/month. Epstein exercised his right of first refusal to block Galinas, then sublet to Fisher at $20K/month instead — profiting from the spread.

Intercontinental Assets Group Inc — Epstein first company: Filed August 18, 1981 with NYS (DOS ID unknown, dissolved 1993). Address: 265 East 66th Street (45th floor apartment). Epstein told people he founded J. Epstein and Co in 1982 but that was NOT true — the real entity was Intercontinental Assets Group Inc. A separate J. EPSTEIN and CO. INC (DOS ID 798890) was created in 1982 by different person (Long Island credit manager). Epstein did not create his own eponymous entity until 1988 as Jeffrey E. Epstein Inc (DOS ID 1307306). Nov 23, 1987 Lexis-Nexis press release shows Epstein as IAG chairman consulting on Hoffenberg Towers Financial takeover of Pan Am (paid-for press release with 13-D SEC reference never found). IAG listed in Dun and Bradstreet 2001 Consultants Directory at Villard House Madison Ave address despite 1993 dissolution. Still had Verizon cell account as of 2007. Per Volscho original research combining NYS SoS records, FEC filings, and certificate of incorporation (snail-mailed April 2019). Incorporation done by Freehold NJ law firm Sonnenblick Parker and Selvers.
FL SunBiz corp P93000087814 = FINANCIAL STRATEGY GROUP, INC. Jeffrey E. Epstein was sole officer (President/Secretary) AND registered agent. Address: 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach FL 33480. EIN: 650464008. Filed Dec 27 1993, voluntarily dissolved Mar 30 2000. This was a Palm Beach-based financial advisory entity operated solely by Epstein from his home address. The name 'Financial Strategy Group' suggests it may have been used for financial consulting or advisory services.
Jeffrey Epstein made at least ,000 in political donations from 1994-2000 under employer names J Epstein and Company, Epstein and Company Inc, and The Epstein Company, all from NYC 10022. Major donations: K DSCC (2000), K DSCC (1999), K New York Senate 2000 (Hillary Clinton), K DSCC (1994), K Lieberman 94, K Friends of Max Baucus. All donations were to Democratic committees and candidates. No donations found after 2000.
34 E 69th St property scheme details: Epstein leased the former Iranian Deputy Consul General residence from the Office of Foreign Missions (US State Department) on Feb 1, 1992 at $15K/month. The lease required single-family residential use by Epstein and advance WRITTEN permission for any subletting. Epstein extended the lease through Jan 31, 1997 and received right of first refusal. In Jan 1996, Epstein abandoned the premises. In March 1996, he negotiated simultaneously with Xenophon Galinas (who offered $100K for improvements) and Fisher. Meanwhile, OFM negotiated directly with Galinas for a new lease at $16K/month from Feb 1997. On Apr 16, 1996 Epstein tried to exercise right of first refusal; on Apr 26, 1996 OFM denied sublease to Fisher. Despite denial, Epstein entered sublease with Fisher on May 7, 1996 at $20K/month — netting Epstein $5K/month profit from a government-custodied Iranian diplomatic property. He also claimed to own Iranian government fixtures (chandeliers, sconces, mirrors). Government filed suit Nov 1996; lease terminated Aug 23, 1996. Epstein represented by Steven J. Cohen of Wachtel & Masyr LLP (now Wachtel Missry).
CRITICAL: Bear Stearns account for 'INTERNATIONAL CHARITABLE' (Epstein entity at 6100 Red Hook Quarter Ste B-3, St Thomas VI) held a $21.1M portfolio in 2001 overwhelmingly concentrated in retail/apparel stocks. Liz Claiborne was the single largest individual long position at $878K (17,650 shares). Other major longs: Polo Ralph Lauren ($867K), Hot Topic ($815K), Wet Seal ($787K), Tommy Hilfiger ($685K), Kohl's ($613K), Federated Dept Stores ($511K). Short positions included Gap (-$86K), Nordstrom (-$245K), Sears (-$248K), plus S&P 500 hedges (-$886K). THE LIMITED/L BRANDS WAS COMPLETELY ABSENT from this retail portfolio — the company where Epstein had power of attorney over Wexner's finances. Trading sector competitors while avoiding the one stock where you have insider access is a classic indicator of informed sector trading.
Second Bear Stearns account: 'INSTITUTIONAL INTERESTS' (Epstein entity), c/o Financial Trust Company, ATTN Jeanne Brennan, 6100 Red Hook Quarter Ste B-3, St Thomas VI. Net equity $18.4M (Dec 2001). Cash account (not margin). Diversified portfolio including: Abercrombie & Fitch $85K (Wexner spinoff, 14 pages), Liz Claiborne $184K, HCA Healthcare $578K, Tyco International $666K, Adelphia Communications $893K, Liberty Media $529K, Royal Caribbean $375K, Universal Health Services $449K, Norfolk Southern $258K, CSX $138K (two railroad freight companies). AGAIN ZERO Limited/L Brands holdings. Combined with International Charitable ($21.1M), Epstein controlled ~$39.5M across two Bear Stearns USVI accounts.
Epstein articulated a detailed money laundering hypothesis for the Trump-Rybolovlev deal to both Wolff and Ruemmler: 'money launderers need a name to purchase trophy properties... someone approached trump and said can you buy the palm beach house in your name. it was trump properties llc, not sure who actually owns the llc. Donald can get a loan from a bank, but it is guaranteed by an entity controlled by R R has a bvi co. xitrans. that is owned by a family trust. (cyprus). R wife settles in oct after trump announces candidacy.' Xitrans Finance Ltd (BVI #494095) confirmed in Panama Papers, incorporated May 2 2002 by Mossack Fonseca.
C.O.U.Q. Foundation $75K donation to Dalton School: Epstein's tax-exempt C.O.U.Q. Foundation made a $75,000 donation to The Dalton School several weeks BEFORE Vicky Ward's Vanity Fair profile was published (March 2003). This is consistent with Epstein's pattern of using charitable donations as leverage/narrative control. Ward's profile was being preempted: Landon Thomas Jr.'s friendly New York Magazine profile ('Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery') was rushed out October 28, 2002 — months ahead of Ward. Ward had uncovered connection to Ponzi scheme, securities law violations, and (excised from final story) on-the-record sexual abuse accounts from Maria and Annie Farmer. Per Thomas Volscho.
Epstein was the court-approved stalking horse bidder at $36M for the Gosman bankruptcy estate (Maison de l'Amitie, 515 N County Rd, Palm Beach) in Nov 2004. He claimed entitlement to a fee if outbid. Trump outbid him at $41.35M via Trump Properties LLC. Epstein wrote: 'I became the stalking horse bidder at 36 m. ie if someone bid higher I would receive a fee. trump buys the house at the telephone auction. only me trump and his friend pulty the developer.'
Ranch Lake II Inc. and Ranch Lake III Inc. are confirmed Epstein-affiliated entities listed in a September 3, 2009 JPMorgan letter to Richard Kahn and Darren Indyke enumerating all Epstein-affiliated names and entities on a data tape. The full list of 23 entities includes: 116 East 65th St LLC, Ms Interests, ASW Holdings LLC, Commun Interests, EGC Capital LLC, Jeffrey E. Epstein, Financial Trustees Inc., Forums LLC, Health and Science Interests, Heritage Interests, Institutional Interests, International Charitable Interest II, J. Epstein and Company, J. Epstein Foundation, JEGE Inc., Ghislaine Maxwell, NES LLC, New York Strategy Group LLC, Palm Beach Trust, Ranch Lake II Inc., Ranch Lake III Inc., The COW Foundation, and Zomo Trust.
Financial Trust Company (Epstein entity) purchased 263,257 shares of Apollo stock in its March 2011 IPO through a 'directed share offering program managed by the lead broker-dealer' (Goldman Sachs). Shares later transferred to Southern Financial LLC and held through at least September 2019. The Apollo 424B4 prospectus does NOT mention a directed share program — meaning it was structured through the underwriter's discretionary allocation rather than a formal prospectus-disclosed program. At IPO price of $19/share, the allocation was worth approximately $5M. Notably, the prospectus discloses no relationship between Apollo and Epstein entities.
December 23, 2011 coordinated property restructuring: NY mansion and USVI island transferred simultaneously
On December 23, 2011, two major property transfers occurred simultaneously: (1) 9 East 71st Street Manhattan transferred from Nine East 71st Street Corporation to Maple Inc (USVI corp); (2) Little St. James Island transferred from LSJ LLC (DE corp) to Nautilus Inc (USVI corp). The El Brillo Way Palm Beach property was also deeded from Jeffrey E. Epstein individually to unnamed entity on December 23, 2011 (per complaint paragraph 122). This coordinated restructuring occurred 3 years after the Florida plea deal and may reflect asset protection planning.
Dec 23 2011 property restructuring: 9 E 71st St from Nine East Corp to Maple Inc; Little St James from LSJ LLC to Nautilus Inc; 358 El Brillo Way from Epstein personal
Per complaint para 102: On December 23, 2011, three simultaneous property transfers occurred: (1) 9 East 71st Street NYC transferred from Nine East 71st Street Corporation to Maple, Inc.; (2) Little St James Island transferred from L.S.J., LLC to Nautilus, Inc. (USVI corporation); (3) 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach transferred from Jeffrey E. Epstein personal ownership (held since 1990) to unnamed entity. This coordinated restructuring occurred after Epstein's 2008 conviction and work release, suggesting an asset protection strategy. All receiving entities (Maple, Nautilus) were USVI corporations.
JSC Interiors LLC is confirmed as an Epstein entity in a Deutsche Bank account closure list alongside LSJE LLC, Mort Inc., Neptune LLC, NES LLC, Plan D LLC, The 2007 Jeffrey E. Epstein Insurance, Zorro Management LLC, Jeffrey Epstein, J Epstein Virgin Islands Foundation, Jeepers Inc, Southern Financial LLC, Southern Trust Company Inc, The Haze Trust, and Butterfly Trust. The initials JSC in JSC Interiors may refer to a person connected to Epstein interior design work. The entity had a DB account number 42957978.
Mort Inc. is a confirmed Epstein entity, NOT related to Mortimer Zuckerman despite the name. Deutsche Bank KYC documents show Mort Inc. was part of the Southern Financial Relationship at DB Private Wealth Management. Account opened 11/12/2013. Paul Morris was account manager. Jeffrey Epstein was beneficial owner (SSN 090-44-3348, DOB 1/20/1953), Darren Indyke was authorized signer, Harry Beller was primary contact at (212) 971-1308. Assets transferred from JPMorgan. The entity owned property at 820 W Spruce St, Rawlins, Wyoming (assessed at 18,654 dollars) with PO Box 357, Rawlins WY 82301.
Mort Inc. had accounts at both JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank. JPMorgan account (managed by Janet Young and Gina Swetra) shows zero activity during the June-July 2012 period with last activity on 05/30/12. The DB accounts were opened 11/12/2013 to replace the JPM accounts after Epstein moved funds to Deutsche Bank. Paul Morris served as account manager at both institutions. The Mort Inc. Wyoming property (820 W Spruce St, Rawlins, WY, assessed 18,654 dollars) and its PO Box suggest a holding entity for rural Wyoming real estate -- potentially hunting/ranch land.
Epstein offered Putin strategic advice on digital currencies via Jagland: 'you can explain to putin, that there should be a sophisticated russian version of bitcoin. it would be the most...' (Jan 19, 2014, EFTA01941232). Also instructed Jagland to 'talk to putin re digital currencies. the future' (Oct 17, 2017, EFTA02582131). This suggests Epstein was positioning himself as a financial/technology advisor to the Kremlin.
Dechert Exhibit B documents 47 hedge/investment fund transactions from 5/2/2014 to 4/17/2019 flowing through Southern Financial LLC and Southern Trust Company Inc. Key fund recipients: Boothbay Multi Strategy/Absolute Strategies/Return (4 transactions, largest 10M), Valar Global Fund II/III LP (Peter Thiel, 14 transactions totaling ~28M), Tudor Futures Fund (13.5M in 2 txns), Joichi Ito/Neoteny 3 LP (4 txns, ~1.5M), Coatue Enterprises LLC (3 txns, 1.5M), Honeycomb Partners/Ventures (5 txns, ~34M), Kyara Investments I/III/IV LLC (including Blockstream and OH2 Labs, 3 txns), Blockchain Capital III/IV (15M in 3 txns), The 2017 Caterpillar Trust (10.5M+2.6M+1.9M). This is the complete investment deployment ledger for Epstein's DB accounts during the Black advisory period.
Epstein had direct advisory relationship with Ariane de Rothschild (EdR bank) from at least September 2014, discussing: (1) EdR's 10% share buyback at max 35 EUR, (2) whether Rothschild could sell 5M shares freely ('I have no restrictions'), (3) Jardine as potential buyer (rejected — 'they hate each other'), (4) Nadine's separate shareholding, (5) 'elegant transaction' to embrace name change and offer share exchange to go private. In May 2017 — concurrent with these advisory discussions — Epstein directed Kahn to get bid/ask on 100K Rothschild & Co shares through Deutsche Bank's Tazia Smith. DB warned liquidity was only 1.6K shares/day, making 100K block prohibitively large. The timing of trade exploration concurrent with inside advisory knowledge creates a clear insider trading exposure.
Epstein claimed to be the 'stalking horse' bidder in the Trump-Rybolovlev Palm Beach property transaction. In Aug 2016 email to Kathy Ruemmler: 'I was the stalking horse' and 'donald paid 30. i was the underbidder at 29.' In Feb 2019 narrative sent to Wolff: 'I became the stalking horse bidder at 36 m. ie if someone bid higher I would receive a fee.' Epstein claims Trump bought house through entity 'Trump Properties LLC, ultimate owner unknown' and raises key question about Trump's 2008 tax return reporting of the Rybolovlev sale. Also describes Russians always overpaying for houses as 'old school money laundering trick.'

Dechert Exhibit D documents 26 Haze Trust transactions from 3/10/2017 to 2/22/2019. The Haze Trust operated across three Deutsche Bank accounts: checking, DBAGNY (higher interest), and brokerage. Initial capitalization: 36M moved from brokerage to checking on 3/10/2017. Key disbursements: Christie's 7.7M (6/2017), Sotheby's 11.5M+15M (9-10/2017), HSBC Bank Bermuda Limited (12/2018). In 2018-2019, massive flows to Southern Financial LLC checking/DBAGNY (totaling ~77M) and Southern Trust Company (10M). Final transactions on 2/19-2/22/2019 show liquidation pattern: 8.8M+12.6M+11.7M moving to Southern Financial and Epstein checking accounts. The Haze Trust appears to be the primary art-transaction and high-value asset vehicle.
DS10 Epstein personal account analysis reveals a multi-bank cash distribution system. OUTGOING: 176 transactions totaling $17.6M (2013-2019). LARGEST: $5.59M to Wells Fargo (May 5, 2017), $2M to FirstBank PR (Mar 7, 2019), $800K to FirstBank PR (Mar 7, 2019). PATTERN: Epstein personal account funded subsidiary banks. FirstBank Puerto Rico received $4.47M across 9 wires (Sept 2014-Mar 2019, escalating in size toward arrest). Wells Fargo received $5.8M. Bank of America $32K. INCOMING: $6.6M including $3M internal transfer (Mar 7, 2019 — same day as $2.8M FirstBank wires), $1.93M self-transfer, $500K unknown (Jan 20, 2017). Additionally, David J. Mitchell (Mitchell Holdings, 745 Fifth Ave) paid $44.5K into Epstein's account in March 2019 — $14K, $25K, and $5.5K across 3 transactions — just weeks before arrest. Mitchell received $840K total ($340K Jun 2018, $500K Nov 2018). INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS: Multiple EUR transactions to unknown recipients including $100K EUR (Jul 14, 2014, twice), $10K EUR (Apr 30, 2014), $5K EUR (Sep 3, 2014), suggesting European operational spending. Balance peaked at $3.46M (May 2017) before rapid drawdown. The Mar 2019 pattern — $3M in, immediately $2.8M+ out to FirstBank PR and Banco Popular — looks like pre-arrest asset repositioning to Puerto Rico banking.
Deutsche Bank served as bank for BOTH Trump and Epstein simultaneously. Trump had $640M Deutsche Bank loan for Chicago tower ($40M personal guarantee, originated Feb 2005, defaulted Nov 2008). Epstein maintained Deutsche Bank accounts managed by Kahn/HBRK Associates. Epstein's own 2019 property purchase used Deutsche Bank and a shell entity ('Haze Trust'). Epstein observed the Qatar-DB-Trump triangle to Landon Thomas (Jul 20 2017): 'qatar is the biggest shareholder in DB. db is donalds funder. donald goes after qatar for terrorism against the advice of tillerson and state. ie DB?' Critical timing: Trump's $40M personal guarantee came due Nov 2008, four months AFTER Rybolovlev's $95M purchase generated ~$53M in proceeds.
FBI CHS reported to FBI on 11/27/2017 that 'Epstein was President Vladimir Putin's wealth manager and provided the same service for Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.' CHS also stated 'Epstein made his money from charging his clients fees to hide their money offshore.' The Putin claim is partially corroborated by email corpus showing Epstein discussing potential Putin meetings (EFTA00917842, EFTA00694933) and having 'one of putins people' at his property (EFTA01300291). The Mugabe claim is corroborated by Joi Ito email asking 'You mean Mugabe? Are you buddies?' after Epstein proposed 'approaching him and providing a new currency/economy' (EFTA02360037, June 2015).
Epstein described Trump/Rybolovlev Palm Beach property deal as money laundering scheme in email to Wolff and Ruemmler (Jan 15, 2019). Claims Trump Properties LLC purchased Maison de l'Amitie for $41M as front for Rybolovlev. States loan 'guaranteed by an entity controlled by R R' with 'a bvi co. xitrans. that is owned by a family trust (cyprus).' Notes Trump was 'beholden to Deutsch Bank and was on the hook personally for 40 million dollars.'
Epstein edited Wolff manuscript (Feb 1, 2019) correcting purchase price from $30M to $36M, adding that Trump was 'beholden to Deutsch Bank...over 600 million dollars but with a 40 million personal guarantee.' Also corrected house sold '3 years later in 08' (not immediately). Epstein's subject-line 'Needs edit but... ie 36\! M Rybo=oev not known in 05' shows intimate knowledge of deal details.
Epstein self-reported assets of M as of June 30, 2019

Epstein DB account transactions: $7M+ settlements, $6M legal fees, $800K+ cash withdrawals, payments to Eastern European women
DFS identified specific categories of suspicious transactions through Epstein's Deutsche Bank accounts: (1) payments to associates publicly alleged to have played roles in luring victims, (2) more than $7 million in settlement payments, (3) $6 million in legal fees, (4) more than $800,000 in cash withdrawals, and (5) payments directly to numerous women with Eastern European surnames (consistent with public allegations of prior wrongdoing).
Bear Stearns personnel file (DOJ release Jan 30, 2026): Epstein started at Bear Stearns March 15, 1976 — NOT end of school year as his attorneys claimed in 2007 letter. Was still coaching Dalton math team for April 9, 1976 match (lost to Ramaz School). Passed Series 7 exam June 21, 1976 (confirmed via FOIL from NY State). Bear Stearns used Fidelifacts investigation firm for background check — produced April 28, 1976 report discovering all lies. Second supplementary investigation May 3, 1976. On BS application, Epstein lied about age (claimed born 1950, actually 1953 = claimed 26 but was 23), claimed UC Berkeley math lecturer 1973-74, NYU MS Mathematics 1972, Cooper Union BS Physics/Math 1970, HS graduation 1966 (actually 1969). All false. Also enrolled at NYU Dept of Music not Courant Institute. Bounced $1,080 tuition check from mothers account to NYU. After discovery, signed amended application with correct info listing degrees as none. Best year: May 1979-May 1980 earned $177K ($701K in 2024). Left March 1981 at ~$494K equivalent.
SYNTHESIS: Epstein's two Bear Stearns USVI accounts (International Charitable + Institutional Interests, combined ~$39.5M) demonstrate a pattern consistent with informed retail sector trading. Both accounts hold Liz Claiborne (combined $1.06M) and multiple retail/apparel competitors. NEITHER account holds The Limited/L Brands — the company where Epstein had power of attorney and served as Wexner's financial advisor. Trading sector stocks while excluding the one company where you have material nonpublic information is a recognized SEC enforcement pattern. The 'International Charitable' account used aggressive long/short strategies with margin, while 'Institutional Interests' was a fully-paid cash account. Both were managed through Financial Trust Company in USVI with different contacts (Larry Kemp vs Jeanne Brennan).
GRM Filing Index (EFTA00300480 p47-48) documents 'Purchase of ExecuJet' — a charter aviation company acquisition by Epstein. ExecuJet is a South African-based executive aviation services company with global FBO operations. Combined with the Hyperion Air subpoena (p46) and existing JEGE Inc aircraft records, this indicates Epstein's aviation holdings extended beyond the known Gulfstream/Boeing fleet to include an aviation services company. GRM Box #004750687 also contains 'Lipper I and II Redwelds' (Lipper was a fund performance analytics firm, Kenneth Lipper was a known NY figure) and GRM Box #004750688 contains LSJ Miscellaneous Blue Prints (Little St. James construction drawings).
communication (7)
Epstein had active reputation management targeting Gawker since 2009-2010. Sep 2009 (EFTA02437301/EFTA02527350): associates discussed Gawker leaking his deposition video. Nov 2010 (EFTA02415219/EFTA02417182): Al Seckel ran SEO campaign to suppress Gawker articles, manipulated Business Insider reporter. Jan 2015 (EFTA02717558): Gawker reporter John Cook contacted Epstein about flight logs. Gawker was a direct threat to Epstein — Thiels campaign served Epsteins interests.
Gawker was investigating Epstein directly. EFTA02717558 Jan 21 2015: someone tells Epstein Just got a voicemail from John Cook from Gawker wanting to ask me questions. Said he is going to publish some of your flight logs and the non prosecution agreement where it says Im immune from prosecution. Gawker journalist John Cook was pursuing Epstein story in early 2015, before Thiel destroyed Gawker.
Epstein berated Leon Black's entire professional advisory apparatus in extraordinary Sep 29, 2016 email (EFTA02449580). Addressed to Spinella for Black: 'Leon, I am on the verge of giving up. I cannot deal with the major incompetence of your family office... I have spoken to each of karp, pezner, fenn, brad, joslin, bodian multiple times. like your office no one in charge with knowledge. so rudderless hysteria. silly beyond belief as this issue is a non event.'
Named advisors: Karp (Paul Weiss chairman), Pezner/Pesner (Akin Gump), Fenn (Akin Gump), Brad (Wechsler), Joslin (Carlyn Joslin), Bodian (unknown). Epstein simultaneously managing Black's art transactions (Giacometti), 8865 filings, and receiving Caesars intelligence via Ribis. Called the 8865 matter 'a non event' while noting 'other issues have been shunted aside that have real consequences.' Referenced 1993 Trump anecdote about a friend whose plane crashed into Aspen mountain after ignoring advice about pilot hires.
On Nov 30, 2018, Epstein emailed Tom Pritzker (Hyatt Chairman): 'the nissan guy ghosen is being held incommunicado in tokyo. can you ask around re why?' In the same email, Epstein discussed his own press: 'my press is brutal but 90% fake. no court cases pending. all silly.' Pritzker replied: 'Ghosn thing is weird. Let me see. Read Miami paper. My concern is their intent to drum this into story. Assume you are working to develop a strategy.'
Epstein's Nov 30, 2018 email to Pritzker about Ghosn reveals dual-track thinking: requesting intelligence gathering on Ghosn's detention while simultaneously strategizing about his own press ('my press is brutal but 90% fake. no court cases pending. all silly.'). Pritzker's reply shows awareness of Miami Herald investigation: 'Read Miami paper. My concern is their intent to drum this into story.' The Ghosn inquiry and Epstein's self-defense were interleaved in the same exchange, suggesting Epstein may have been comparing his own legal situation to Ghosn's.
On Jan 26, 2019, Epstein wrote to Karp: '? ghosen a very very not good guy.' In the same email thread, Epstein immediately pivoted to ask 'Rajeev misra do you represent?' — Misra being CEO of SB Investment Advisers (SoftBank Vision Fund). The juxtaposition of Ghosn and Misra in the same email thread suggests Epstein was interested in SoftBank/Nissan dynamics or Misra's potential litigation.
Epstein made business calls during sexual acts, demonstrating power and control
During sexual massages, Epstein would always answer the phone. Important Business Persons 1-4 were regular callers. He would stop near climax to make calls, saying it evoked important thoughts. He would take/initiate up to 4 business calls per session in a stern, authoritative voice. Plaintiff heard threatening tone indicating he could cause serious harm to powerful people. One regular caller (IBP 1) appeared to have both business and intimate personal conversations with Epstein - Plaintiff believed for months this was a female.
relationship (8)
Epstein-Greenberg-Maxwell Bear Stearns nexus: Epstein dated Ace Greenbergs daughter while at Bear Stearns, creating insulation from consequences of resume fraud discovery. Per Tennenbaum, he felt pressure to retain employee dating bosss daughter. Robert Maxwell also had account with Bear Stearns in 1970s. A former co-worker asked Epstein in 2003 birthday book whether he had met Ghislaine as a teen in the 1970s. Cy Lewis son told Volscho he met Robert Maxwell in 1986 and Maxwell wanted to invest $5M in his boutique firm (Lewis had helped Wexner buy Lane Bryant) but turned him down. Donald Trump was also client of Ace Greenberg in 1980s. Greenberg later (August 2010, after Bear collapsed into JPM) demanded Epstein get exception to JP Morgan Felon Policy.
Epstein attempted to arrange a private visit to Scorpios, the Onassis family's private Greek island, through intermediary Richard Steeve Giraud in Aug-Oct 2011 and again in late 2011/early 2012. Email chain: (1) Aug 20, 2011: Giraud writes to jeevacation@gmail.com arranging Scorpios visit, mentioning Capri with 'Boris'; (2) Sep 4, 2011: Giraud confirms 'all is ok now' and asks when Epstein wants to visit after Sep 12; (3) Oct 5, 2011: Giraud asks why the bank (Onassis Foundation is administered by a bank) received NDAs signed by Darren K. Indyke instead of Epstein directly; (4) Oct 9, 2011: Bank granted permission for Thursday or Friday visit, Giraud needs headcount for helicopter; (5) Dec 27, 2011/Jan: Giraud asks if Epstein has future plans to visit Scorpios, wishes Happy New Year. The NDA requirement and Indyke signing suggest a transaction or confidential arrangement, not just tourism. Scorpios was privately owned by the Onassis Foundation until sold to Dmitry Rybolovlev in 2013.
Epstein forced victim Katlyn Doe to marry Associate 3 (non-US citizen recruiter) for immigration purposes in 2013, promising K for surgery
Per complaint paras 111-118: In 2013, Epstein told Plaintiff he needed Associate 3, a non-US citizen who recruited females for him, to obtain permanent US residence. He forced Plaintiff to marry Associate 3, arranging the ceremony through his long-time NY attorney (Associate 4). The marriage included legal paperwork and staged photographs. Epstein promised Plaintiff ,000 for the sham marriage so she could afford her surgery. He also promised housing at 301 East 66th Street, NY. After the marriage, Epstein paid only ,000, withholding the remaining ,000 until the marriage ended. He used the ,000 debt as leverage to coerce continued sex acts. In 2014, when Plaintiff turned 25, Epstein considered her 'too old' and stopped using her for sex. She was forced out of the 301 East 71st Street apartment. She and Associate 3 divorced in 2017. Epstein refused to pay the remaining ,000.
CBP entry 3/20/2014 at Seattle/King County International cross-referenced with email corpus reveals trip was to meet Bill Gates. EFTA01930148 (3/21/2014): Epstein emails about Seattle meetings: Steve great. Bill - bill. EFTA01933175 (3/20/2014): correspondent writes Have fun with Stevie. Hes still fragile but a little less negative. Hope mtgs w Bill productive. Correspondent also discusses vagus nerve immunization suggesting scientific/medical conversation partner (possibly Boris Nikolic or another science advisor). EFTA01932499 (3/7/2014): Delta flight from Seattle to Warsaw via CDG being arranged for March 20 -- suggesting Epstein or associate continued to Eastern Europe after Gates meeting. CBP confirms private jet arrival at King County International.
Epstein had active SoftBank intelligence interest in 2016-2019. EFTA02446715 (Oct 14, 2016) shows Jabor Y. (Jabor Yousuf Jassim Al Thani, Qatari associate) sending Epstein a SoftBank press release link. EFTA02614349 (Jun 12, 2018) shows a contact (likely Barak, given context of sanctions/Israel) telling Epstein about going to Tokyo to meet SoftBank COO (former Sprint Chairman). EFTA02617269 (Nov 11, 2018) shows Epstein introducing Jabor to Steve Bannon: 'Steve jabor - jabor - steve.' This places SoftBank within Epstein's active intelligence sphere during the period of the Benedetti/Giannakopoulos operation aftermath.
Epstein bragged about close friendships with Clinton, Trump, Prince Andrew, and Sultan of Dubai
Epstein commonly bragged to Plaintiff that Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, and the Sultan of Dubai were among his closest friends. Plaintiff overheard Epstein talking with the Sultan of Dubai and on one occasion met him in person. Plaintiff observed photographs of Epstein and Bill Clinton together and heard Epstein talk about times when Clinton was on Little Saint James Island. Plaintiff never saw Clinton on the island herself. These name-drops were used as coercion tools to demonstrate Epstein's power.
Epstein hosted private party with Woody Allen where victim was forced to serve
On one occasion, Jeffrey Epstein forced Plaintiff to serve hors d'oeuvres at Epstein's private party with Woody Allen. This server's role was forced upon Plaintiff to demean her, frighten her, and impress upon her the need to conceal the commercial sex trafficking enterprise.

Associate 7 - Female employee believed to work through NES then HBRK, was present during initial abuse at NY mansion, told Plaintiff she could trust Epstein, escorted victims to massage room (paras 61-62). These are identifiable individuals whose real names are withheld in the complaint.

Jeffrey Epstein has no personal FARA registration or appearance as a foreign principal. The only 'Epstein' results in FARA are unrelated law firms (Epstein Friedman & Duncan #2168, 1969-1971; Blatchford Epstein & Brady #3160, 1980-1984). Despite documented activities as intermediary for Norwegian (IPI/Rod-Larsen), Israeli (Barak/Carbyne), Russian (Deripaska/Jagland-Lavrov channel), UAE (Sulayem), Saudi (Alrasheed/Alahmadi), and Chinese interests (HDI/Taihe), Epstein never registered. This comprehensive absence across multiple foreign government relationships is the most significant FARA gap identified.
In US v. Epstein (96 CIV 8307, SDNY 1998), the US Government sued to evict Epstein from a building formerly used as the residence of the Deputy Consul General of Iran. After diplomatic relations were severed in 1980, OFM leased the building to Epstein in 1992. Epstein sublet it to attorney Ivan S. Fisher in 1996 without consent. Government terminated Epsteins lease and sought ejectment plus back rent. Epstein was represented by Wachtel & Masyr LLP (Steven J. Cohen). Judge Chin presided.
In Stroll v. Epstein (818 F.Supp. 640, SDNY 1993, Judge Conboy), Michael R. Stroll sued Epstein over a 1984 contract. Epstein and Stroll had entered a joint venture in 1982 via Intercontinental Asset Group (I.A.G.). Epstein served as officer of I.A.G. and agent for the venture. The November 1984 contract addressed Strolls rescission of his interest. Court granted Epsteins summary judgment, finding he acted in representative capacity for I.A.G. This predates Gold & Wachtel representation but establishes Epsteins 1982-era business entity.
96 Civ 8307 involved Epstein leasing former Iranian Deputy Consul General residence from US Govt Office of Foreign Missions (1992), then subletting to Ivan Fisher without consent
FL SunBiz corp P95000027272: GHISLAINE CORP. Renamed from prior name via amendment Apr 21 1995. Officers: Jeffrey E. Epstein (President/Director) at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach; Amanda J. Ellison (Secretary) at 457 Madison Ave, New York 10022. Voluntarily dissolved Oct 23 1998. Naming a corporation after Maxwell demonstrates personal/financial intertwining circa 1995.
Epstein deposed under oath 1997-98 in US v. Epstein & Fisher (96 Civ 8307/1:97-cv-01489) landlord-tenant case - transcript later disappeared from both USAO and court files
Judge Denny Chin issued protective order Feb 1998 blocking US Govt from using Epstein's confidential financial discovery (including tax returns) outside the landlord-tenant lawsuit
FL SunBiz corp P93000087814: Jeffrey E. Epstein listed as President/Secretary with sole officer address at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach FL 33480. Voluntarily dissolved Mar 30 2000. Entity name not recovered from corprindata (officer-only file). This is a separate Palm Beach entity from Ghislaine Corp (P95000027272).
AMT VENTURES LLC (DOS 3194385) — Delaware LLC at 457 Madison Ave 3rd floor, filed 2005 — same building as Indyke entities on 4th floor
AMT VENTURES LLC (NY DOS 3194385, Foreign LLC, Delaware jurisdiction) registered at 457 Madison Avenue 3rd Floor, NYC 10022 on 2005-04-21. This is the same building where Indyke operates E Management New York LLC (4th floor), LYN AND JOJO LLC, and MAX HOTEL SERVICES CORP. The entity is its own process server. Filed during the 2002-2006 entity creation surge. While the 3rd floor vs 4th floor distinction may indicate a separate tenant, the coincidence of a Delaware LLC with an opaque name at the same small office building warrants further investigation. No officers visible in NY SoS — would need Delaware records.
Dalton School obstructed FBI subpoena (2006): When FBI sent grand jury subpoena for Epstein employment records as part of Operation Leap Year, Dalton attorney responded misstating name as Jeffrey Stein (same surname as then school head) and claimed school has no employment or other records relating to the year Jeffrey Stein taught at the School in the 1970s. However the actual subpoena correctly spelled Jeffrey Epstein. Per Volscho: Far from a mistake in the subpoena, the attorneys from their law firm made a false claim. Even if Dalton destroyed personnel records they could have retrieved yearbooks showing Epstein as teacher. If Epstein had engaged in abusive conduct with a student, personnel records would have been reviewed and Dalton could have been accused of negligent hiring. Note: Dalton also had headmaster Gardner Dunnan who left in 1997 amid sexual abuse allegations, and drama teacher Graham Marlette passed the trash from Emma Willard.
GRM Filing Index (EFTA00300480 p46-47) documents Palm Beach defense preparations: Confidential Submission to Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (DOJ CEOS), PB Matters 2012 with Chronology of Relevant Documents (on CD), Misc Palm Beach Binder. GRM Box #004750686 (p48) contains Lefcourt criminal defense files: Lefcourt Oct 19, 2006 PB Binder, Nathan Dershowitz Applicable Federal Law Binder, Sex Offender Registry materials, Civil Cases CD, Indexes of Computer Files, and Lefcourt Investigation of [redacted]. The Lefcourt-Dershowitz collaboration on federal law defense predates the known 2006-2007 NPA timeline.
Florida AUSA sought Epstein's 1997-98 deposition transcript in June 2007 for Florida investigation - SDNY AUSA had only 'vague memory' of deposing him, transcript not found in USAO or court files
Epstein continued sex trafficking during Florida work-release period (2008-2009)
When Epstein was in jail for sex offenses in Florida, he maintained contact with Plaintiff. Employees of HBRK Associates, NES LLC, and JEGE Inc caused Plaintiff to be transported to Florida to engage in commercial sex with Epstein in his Florida residence while on work release from jail while still wearing his ankle monitor. This demonstrates corporate entities actively facilitating trafficking during the legally constrained period.
Epstein continued sex trafficking during Oct 2008 jail work-release at Florida Science Foundation, soliciting explicit photos and arranging victim transport
Per complaint paras 77-87: While serving 18-month jail sentence with work release at Florida Science Foundation (250 Australian Ave Suite 1400, West Palm Beach FL 33401), Epstein: (1) In Oct 2008, emailed Plaintiff for sexually explicit photographs of her and her female relative, instructing her to get a camera from HBRK employee Associate 1; (2) In March 2009, invited Plaintiff to fly to Florida for purported employment at Florida Science Foundation; (3) In June 2009, instructed Plaintiff to coordinate with HBRK Associate 2 for flight from NY to FL; (4) In June/July 2009, Plaintiff was flown to FL where Epstein committed sex acts at his work-release office, including with another young female present. This occurred while he was supposed to be under Palm Beach Sheriff's Office supervision.
GRM Box #004740697 settlement drawer (EFTA00300480 pp.53-55) contains approximately 30+ signed settlement agreements with redacted victim names, spanning at least 18 case numbers. Each entry shows either 'Signed Settlement' alone or 'Signed Settlement, Stipulation of Dismissal, Final Order of Dismissal.' One entry references 'Non-NPA' designation. One references Case #81092. The volume — 30+ individual settlements — far exceeds public reporting of Epstein's civil settlements and constitutes a primary source for the true scope of victim compensation. The Josefsberg Invoices and Disc (Drawer 2) and video depositions from Jane Doe 4 (Oct 27, 2009, 3 volumes + medical evaluation 2 volumes) and another redacted individual (Dec 4, 2009, 2 volumes) are also stored.
GRM Box #004740697 (EFTA00300480 pp.52-53) Epstein vs Rothstein redwelds reveal Epstein filed suit against Scott Rothstein (Ponzi schemer, sentenced to 50 years).

Video depositions and DVD sent to Jay Lefkowitz on Oct 14, 2010 'that could be used in Brad Edwards Case' — confirming defense strategy of using Rothstein litigation materials against Edwards/victim attorneys. Case #4D09-2254 and LM Case #20851 Petition for Writ of Certiorari (with Edwards noted) are also included.
FL SunBiz corp F08000003048: Foreign profit corporation registered in FL. Officers: Jeffrey E. Epstein (Director/President) at 6100 Red Hook Quarter B-3, St. Thomas USVI 00802; Darren K.

GRM Box #004740697 (EFTA00300480 pp.51-55) retrieved from storage June 13, 2013, contains comprehensive civil litigation files: CMA vs JEE (correspondence, summons, complaint, motion to dismiss), Rosenfeldt vs. Rothstein, MJ vs Epstein (with affidavits of Richard Barnett, protective order barring contact, motion for preservation of evidence re US Attorneys Office correspondence, settlement agreement and confidentiality agreement). Also contains Epstein vs Rothstein redwelds #1-2 (privilege logs, docs produced by Scherer & Farmer, Cara Holmes docs, Second Amended Complaint Aug 22 2011, summary judgment hearing July 27 2012, Fowler bankruptcy withdrawal). At least 30+ redacted settlement agreements across 5 file cabinet drawers, covering Does 1-8, Jane Does 8/101/102, and multiple named cases (80802, 80656, 80811, 25129, 81092, 80119, 80232, 80380, 80381, 80994, 80591, 80893, 80469, 28051, 28058, 37319, 80736, 4D09-2254).
Epstein personally managed the BRH Holdings LP 8865 filing crisis for all three Apollo founders, coordinating directly with Brad Karp (Paul Weiss chairman), Patrick Fenn (tax advisor), Steve Pesner, and Apollo's Suzanne Wong. Epstein excused himself from 'a dinner with some heads of state' to make calls about the 8865 issue. He proposed an 'elegant position' of having Harris and AGM file first, leaving Black out. Epstein advocated replacing Wechsler, Joslin, and Castrucci. He directed the strategy of whether to file 3 or 6 years of delinquent returns, proposed using IRS delinquent international disclosures program, and suggested filing minimum 8865 then amending later ('no harm no foul'). This demonstrates Epstein had direct control over Apollo founders' most sensitive tax compliance matters.
Jeffrey Epstein has ZERO appearances in Senate LDA records as either a client or a lobbyist. No Epstein-named entity (LSJE LLC, Southern Trust Company, Financial Trust Company) appears as a lobbying client. This confirms Epstein's influence operations were conducted entirely outside the formal lobbying disclosure framework - through nonprofits (IPI, HDI, Gratitude America), personal relationships, legal representation disguised as counsel, and financial payments rather than registered lobbying contacts.

Epstein had advance intelligence about SDNY RICO investigation 6 months before July 2019 arrest. On Jan 21, 2019 at 5:43 PM, Epstein told Weingarten that SDNY was pursuing a RICO claim against 'the org'. Weingarten confirmed the next day: 'Turns out you were right about sdny but they are going to wait their turn'. Epstein then asked 'Civil or crime' and Weingarten replied 'Crim'. This demonstrates Epstein had sources within or adjacent to federal law enforcement providing him real-time intelligence on the investigation.
Eyewitness M. Rachel Zabala photographed man believed to be Epstein walking with underage female at Olympic Tower corner (51st St and 5th Ave) on June 7, 2019, one month before arrest. Subject held Victoria Secret boutique bag. Submitted to US Attorney victim/witness coordinator July 28, 2019.
USMS Arrest Warrant (Mod AO 442) dated 07/02/2019 signed by Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses, SDNY. Charges: Title 18 USC Section 371 (sex trafficking conspiracy) and Title 18 USC Sections 1591(a), (b)(2), and (2) (sex trafficking of minors). Based on Indictment (not complaint or information). AUSA Alison Moe listed on warrant (212-637-2225). This confirms the warrant was issued 4 days before the 7/6 Teterboro arrest, and was based on an indictment rather than a criminal complaint.

MCC records confirm Steptoe and Johnson LLP (1174 Avenue of the Americas, NY) as Epstein's counsel during MCC detention. Steptoe attorney emailed BOP staff about bathroom access, phone calls, and meal issues on July 22, 2019. Epstein spent 'all of the day meeting with his legal team' — eating only vending machine snacks because returning to housing unit meant no return to attorney conference. BOP arranged shower, haircut, medical assessment before attorney conference July 30.
MCC records document Epstein's attorneys complained about visiting conditions: requested greater bathroom access during legal visits, 2 social calls promised, and ability to eat lunch in attorney conference. The day before death, Epstein spent 10+ hours in attorney conference (8:30am-6:45pm Aug 9). Records show Epstein prioritized legal visits immediately after suicide watch removal. Multiple emails from staff attorney to executive staff documenting these requests.

Epstein trafficking timeline: 2007-2014 continuous abuse of Katlyn Doe across NY mansion, USVI island, and FL work-release office
Per complaint paras 52-129, key timeline: 2007 - Plaintiff (age 17) recruited via female relative at 457 Madison Ave; groomed with medical promises; first abuse at 9 E 71st St mansion with Associate 7 present; paid hundreds of dollars after each encounter. Late 2007 - After turning 18, flown to Little St. James Island (LSJ property) where Epstein forced her to lose her virginity despite her stated religious objections. 2007-June 2008 - Continuous sexual exploitation at NY mansion, paid in cash plus medical treatment, dance classes, educational courses. June 30, 2008 - Epstein pled guilty to FL felony sex offenses. Aug 2008 - HBRK Associates incorporated. Oct 2008 - Epstein solicited explicit photos from jail via email through HBRK Associate 1. March 2009 - Epstein lured Plaintiff to FL under false employment pretense.

Property chain reveals Wexner connection: Leslie Wexner (Epstein's benefactor) owned Maison de l'Amitie from 1985-1988, demolished the original 100-year-old mansion and rebuilt it. Wexner sold to Gosman for $12M in 1988. After Gosman's bankruptcy, Epstein bid as stalking horse in 2004, was outbid by Trump. The same property that Epstein's benefactor had owned became the vehicle for a potential $55M laundering operation. Whether Epstein's knowledge of the property's history and value informed his stalking horse bid requires further investigation.
Epstein occupied the State Department property (34 E 69th) from Feb 1992 until January 1996, when he moved into the Wexner mansion (9 E 71st) approximately 2 blocks north. The transition was seamless - Epstein left the government property precisely when the Wexner mansion became available. Rather than surrendering the OFM lease, Epstein attempted to profit by subletting at a $5,000/month markup ($20K from Fisher vs $15K to OFM). This fits the broader pattern: Wexner power of attorney 1991, OFM lease 1992, Palm Beach mansion 1990, Zorro Ranch 1993, Wexner mansion occupancy 1995-96.
Franklin County Sheriff Earl Smith and Ohio Inspector General David Strutz both told journalist Bob Fitrakis they believed Epstein and Wexner had CIA ties. Strutz referred to SAT's Hong Kong-Columbus route as 'the Meyer Lansky run.' Sources in both offices identified Epstein as having 'a pivotal role in relocating the planes' to Rickenbacker. Per Fitrakis, under pressure from the governor's office, Ohio officials dropped their inquiries.
FBI FD-71 form from 1996 found in FBI document scrub (EFTA02730468), predating FBI digital record-keeping system. Document was associated with Epstein but excluded from 50D-NY-3027571 sex trafficking case file as having no evidentiary value. Establishes FBI awareness of Epstein as early as 1996.
The 34 E 69th subletting scheme reveals Epstein's operating pattern: (1) MISREPRESENTATION - told Fisher the sublease was State Dept-approved when OFM had expressly denied it on Apr 26 1996, (2) GOVERNMENT PROPERTY ARBITRAGE - used below-market govt lease as profit center, (3) DEFIANCE OF AUTHORITY - proceeded after explicit denial, then claimed oral consent that OFM's Richard Massey would deny under oath, (4) BLAME SHIFTING - when caught, filed holdover proceeding against Fisher for nonpayment, making the victim his adversary, (5) LEGAL MANIPULATION - exercised right of first refusal to block Galinas deal, then violated the lease himself. Pattern foreshadows later behavior with plea deals and financial structures.
SYNTHESIS — LITIGATION-INFORMED TRADING HYPOTHESIS: Epstein's Bear Stearns retail portfolio in 2001 may reflect trading on material nonpublic information about the CNMI/Saipan lawsuits filed Jan 13, 1999 against The Limited, Liz Claiborne, Gap, and other retailers. Epstein held Liz Claiborne as his LARGEST long position ($878K) — Liz Claiborne was both a Saipan defendant AND the company whose GC (Robbie Karp) co-chaired the AIP that managed the industry's response. If Epstein had inside knowledge that Liz Claiborne would settle favorably (the lawsuits ultimately settled for relatively modest amounts), that was bullish information. He SHORTED Gap ($86K) — another defendant — suggesting differentiated knowledge about which defendants would fare better or worse. Through Wexner/The Limited, Epstein had access to: (1) advance knowledge of the lawsuits, (2) settlement strategy, (3) supply chain cost impacts, (4) competitive positioning intelligence across the entire retail sector.
Palm Beach Police Department incident report (Oct 2003) documents that 'Epstein told me that he had purchased a spy camera from a store on Okeechobee Blvd. and had set up the camera.' This is a law enforcement record from nearly a decade before the 2014 spy store purchase (EFTA02580827), establishing that Epstein had a documented pattern of purchasing and deploying covert surveillance equipment spanning at least 11 years (2003-2014). Case No 1-03-001498 at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach.
TECS (Treasury Enforcement Communications System) lookout on Epstein aircraft predates 2019 case. EFTA01333620 shows TECS II Private Aircraft Enforcement System record for aircraft N909JE with LOOKOUT flag on passenger EPSTEIN JEFFREY, arrival at KPBI (Palm Beach International) on 9/3/2005. This is years before the 2008 FL conviction and over a decade before the 2018 SDNY case opening. The existence of a TECS lookout in 2005 suggests federal law enforcement awareness of Epstein as early as the initial Palm Beach PD investigation period. Separate from the 2019 SILENT HIT travel alerts (P3N06596100A01) which were placed by FBI NY VCAC/Human Trafficking squad after December 2018 case opening.
Epstein confiscated victim passports on USVI island to prevent departure
Jeffrey Epstein and his associates confiscated Plaintiff's passport to prevent her from having the ability to leave Little St. James Island voluntarily. This constitutes a hallmark of trafficking: document confiscation to restrict victim movement.
Epstein forced victim into sexual encounter with Associate 2, including strangulation
On the 2006 USVI island trip, Associate 2 told Plaintiff she needed to comply with Epstein's sexual demands. Epstein then forced Plaintiff to engage in sexual activity with Associate 2 in his presence. Epstein directed Associate 2 to use force on Plaintiff even after she stated she was uncomfortable and did not want to participate. During the encounter, Epstein put his hands around Plaintiff's neck, causing great fear. He then masturbated and instructed Plaintiff to leave the room.
Epstein used medical care promises as coercion: promised treatment for victim's 17yo relative
In 2007, Epstein learned Plaintiff's 17-year-old relative had serious medical conditions. He promised to use his resources to cure them, using this as ongoing leverage to compel commercial sex acts. Multiple associates, employees, and corporate entities assisted by making promises, scheduling or promising medical appointments, while knowing these representations were false and fraudulent. The medical care promise pattern is a documented Epstein coercion method.
Epstein's social media surveillance: punished victim for posting about island location
On one occasion on Little St. James Island, Plaintiff posted a publicly readable social media post indicating she was on the island. The next morning Epstein woke her holding her wrists tightly, in great anger, with his laptop open. He questioned her about the post, who had read it, what she had told them. He threatened her and commanded her never to tell anyone about the commercial sex acts. As punishment he did not speak with her for a month and sent her back to NY without paying for any of the commercial sex acts performed daily over approximately one week.
SYNTHESIS: Epstein may have used the threat of forced withdrawal from DB Zwirn (17:1 leverage, illiquid assets) as leverage during NPA plea negotiations. Timeline correlation: withdrawal demands (Nov 2006-June 2008) map directly onto NPA negotiation period. Schulte Roth denied withdrawal March 27, 2007 but the threat itself created pressure on Zwirn, Dubin, and other LPs. 'Withdrawal Requests Not Sent' (documents missing as of Jan 28 2010) suggest demands were drafted and held back — loaded guns for negotiation rather than actual redemption attempts. Dubin's affidavit on 'Zwirn liquidity' provided expert ammunition on fund fragility. At 17:1 leverage, a large forced redemption during 2007-2008 credit crisis could trigger cascade failures. Key stakeholders with incentive to prevent this: Dan Zwirn (fund survival), Glen Dubin (reputation/exposure), other LPs, and regulators who wanted no additional fund blowups during financial crisis. Pattern: Epstein using financial positions as leverage in criminal defense negotiations, not just for investment returns.
Epstein continued recruiting during 2008-2009 jail sentence: emailed victims from work release, arranged flights NY to FL via HBRK/JEGE
Per complaint paras 77-82: While incarcerated (June 2008-2009), Epstein maintained operational control of trafficking network from Florida Science Foundation work-release office. Specifically: Oct 2008, corresponded with Plaintiff via email to obtain sexually explicit photos, directing her to get camera from HBRK Associate 1. March 2009, wrote to Plaintiff offering false employment at FSF. June 2009, instructed Plaintiff to coordinate with HBRK Associate 2 for flight arrangements. JEGE Inc arranged transportation (Boeing 727). This demonstrates the trafficking enterprise continued uninterrupted during incarceration, with HBRK, JEGE, and FSF functioning as operational arms. Palm Beach Sheriff's Office was supposed to be monitoring Epstein during work release.
Epstein forced victim to attend massage school in 2011 and pressured to recruit students
In 2011, Epstein instructed Plaintiff that he was putting her through massage school and she had no choice but to attend. While in massage school, Epstein constantly asked Plaintiff to recruit other young females from the school and became angry and threatening when she refused. This demonstrates the recruitment pipeline extension: leveraging existing victims' access to pools of potential new victims.
In email dated March 5, 2011, Epstein asked his investigators to determine whether a person of interest 'intersects with Marie Villafana, EJ Yera (Marie's husband) or any of the US attnys on the Rothstein case.' This demonstrates Epstein was actively monitoring AUSA Villafana's personal connections (her husband EJ Yera) and tracking cross-connections between SDFL federal prosecutions (his own case, the Rothstein Ponzi case, and implicitly other SDFL proceedings). This intelligence-gathering on his own prosecutor is consistent with the broader counter-surveillance operation evident in the Epstein emails.
CONSOLIDATED TIMELINE — Epstein-SoftBank Intelligence Operation. Sept 26, 2013: Benedetti on Epstein's Paris contact list (same day as Summers lunch, Osborne breakfast). Oct 7, 2013: Second Benedetti Paris reminder. Oct 2013: Arora on WEF lists in Epstein documents. Oct 14, 2016: Jabor sends Epstein SoftBank/MBS $100B fund news; Epstein dismisses size but tracks. Jan 3, 2017: Landon Thomas sends Epstein same SoftBank story. Nov 13, 2017: Barrett pitches Epstein on SoftBank-led Grab deal. Aug 12, 2018: Alahmadi sends FII 2018 speaker list (Misra, Klein both listed). Nov 11, 2018: Epstein introduces Jabor to Bannon. Nov 2018: Epstein tracks Ghosn arrest in Tokyo through Karp and Pritzker. Jan 22, 2019: Epstein-Weingarten discuss ongoing legal matters. Jan 25, 2019: Weingarten asks 'Rajeev misra....softbank vision fund...any special jeffrey insights here?' Epstein says 'YES.' Jan 26, 2019: Epstein asks Karp 'Rajeev misra do you represent?' Karp confirms recent contact. Same day, Weingarten says 'thinking about using him on the Softbank caper'; Epstein says 'go slow.' Jan 28, 2019: Epstein asks Teodorani about Benedetti. Feb 2020: WSJ publishes full exposé.
On Feb 5, 2014, Epstein directed Larry (Visoski, his pilot) to purchase motion sensor cameras from a spy store: 'lets get three motion detected hidden cameras, that record, thanks.' Larry purchased them from 'the Spy Store in Fort Lauderdale' and reported: 'I already two purchased the Motion sensor camera... its amazing how small they are, the size of Thumbnail drive, 64 hour recording, Motion sensor. I am installing them into Kleenex boxes now.' This is a direct primary-source confirmation of Epstein's operational surveillance capability -- hidden cameras disguised in common household items, explicitly designed for covert recording.
Epstein attempted to broker a meeting between Joi Ito, Reid Hoffman, and Putin in July 2014. Joi Ito to Epstein: 'I wasn't able to convince Reid to change his schedule to go meet Putin with you. ;-)' Epstein replied: 'Bad idea now after plane crash' — referring to MH17 shot down over Ukraine July 17, 2014 by Russian-backed forces. This shows Epstein was arranging high-profile tech figure meetings with Putin.
OPERATIONAL MODEL COMPARISON — SoftBank honey trap vs Epstein tradecraft. The SoftBank operation (Misra/Benedetti, 2015-2016) and Epstein's documented operations share striking structural parallels: (1) SURVEILLANCE: Tokyo hotel room cameras vs Epstein's Kleenex box spy cameras (EFTA02580827). (2) LEGAL COVER: Both used Paul Weiss/Brad Karp — Misra for defense, Epstein for offense (Nardello operations). (3) INTELLIGENCE FIRMS: K2 Intelligence (SoftBank) vs Nardello & Co (Epstein) — both private intelligence firms run through Paul Weiss. (4) MEDIA MANIPULATION: Planted stories in The Independent/WSJ via freelancer Hollingsworth vs Landon Thomas/NYT and Wolff book operations. (5) BVI PAYMENT VEHICLES: Barkmere Group Ltd (Benedetti) vs Epstein's extensive BVI structure (Xitrans, STC, ERGO). (6) HONEY TRAPS: Women+cameras in Tokyo hotel vs Epstein's 9 E 71st and island operations. (7) CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA: Giannakopoulos was SCL/Cambridge Analytica's Swiss agent; Bannon was Cambridge Analytica's chairman 2014-2016 and Epstein's close contact (160+ emails).

Epstein used Michael Wolff to craft public rehabilitation narrative involving Gates. Wolff draft (Feb 1, 2015): It is Bill Gates who at the end of the summer began prodding Epstein to begin a process of public rehabilitation. Epstein has been advising Gates on a new way to increase the clout of the Gates Foundation by adding a constellation of other charitable funds that would be bundled with the Gates operation. Epstein elaborated: a donor advised fund where the Foundations expertise could be used by others. Science priorities: 1. decoding biological signals 2. synthetic general intelligence 3. music as brain reverse-engineering 4. mysteries of sleep.
CHS reported to FBI that 'In the spring of 2015, President Trump had just been to Epstein's property for lunch.' This places a Trump visit to Epstein post-2008 conviction, during the pre-campaign period (Trump announced June 16, 2015). CHS also stated Epstein 'was very close to current President Donald Trump' and 'knew former President Bill Clinton.' The spring 2015 lunch claim is specific and testable against Secret Service logs and other records.
Nardello & Co. was conducting COVERT RECORDINGS of meals for Epstein, coordinated through Paul Weiss. On Aug 24, 2015, Nardello's Tara MacMillan sent Karp and Reisner a 'rough draft of a transcript of the client's lunch with GG' noting 'we had to have the recording enhanced to be able to better discern the conversation' with offer to courier 'two DVDs containing a copy of the enhanced version.' Epstein responded asking for 'surveillance report also bill to date.' This is the identical operational model to the SoftBank honey trap (hidden cameras/recordings at a meeting), deployed by the SAME law firm (Paul Weiss), during the SAME time period (Sept-Oct 2015, when the SoftBank operation was also actively planting stories).
FBI maintained FD-71 investigative record from 2016 (PAL2016_186EEH01_Semal_Expiaitation_of_a_Minor.pdf) related to Palm Beach sexual exploitation of a minor investigation. Document was excluded from 50D-NY-3027571 case file as having no evidentiary value. This indicates FBI investigative activity between the 2008 NPA and the 2019 arrest.
Epstein personally brokered the Ribis-Rowan connection on Caesars, then CC'd Black's office. EFTA02469638 chain: Ribis 'I have not heard from Mark yet.' Epstein forwarded Ribis's cell to Rowan. Rowan replied 'Left a VM at his office late yesterday. Will get him this morning.' Epstein then forwarded entire chain to Spinella (Black's EA): 'to keep you in the loop.' Shows Epstein as active intermediary, not passive recipient of intelligence.
Same email contains Ribis's examiner claim and 'David T' reference (David Tepper, major CEOC creditor). Ribis: 'I can help - remember I could have been the examiner but Mark's lawyers nixed me and oked Davis (a white shoe prosecutor) - also I know David T and that will help.' Epstein immediately forwarded to Black's office, ensuring Black knew about Rowan's Caesars exposure.
NEGATIVE RESULT: Charles Harder (attorney who ran Thiel-funded Gawker campaign) does NOT appear anywhere in 691K+ Epstein document corpus. Zero hits in DOJ Vol 11, DugganUSA, LMSBAND, Unified DB. No evidence Epstein had any relationship with Harder or awareness of the litigation structure. Epsteins May 2016 offer to share expenses (EFTA02461589) appears to be an opportunistic attempt to insert himself, not evidence of prior involvement.
Epstein told Kathy Ruemmler (Aug 28, 2016) about the Rybolovlev deal: 'it was worth no more than 40 when the russian bought it from donald. the russians always over pay for a house as payment for something. or payment to someone or payment through to self. old school money laundering trick. they do it in every country, I was the stalking horse.' He also revealed: 'donald paid 30. i was the underbidder at 29.' This contradicts his other account of being the stalking horse at $36M -- suggesting confusion in his recollection, or different aspects of the bidding process.
Epstein had Vitaly Churkin as his direct channel to Russia's foreign ministry. To Peter Thiel (Oct 2016): 'vitaly churckin, russian ambassador, most involved, he and lavrov control. if you give me a time i will try to set up, just us' (EFTA02449168). This reveals: (1) Epstein claimed Churkin and Lavrov 'controlled' something (likely a policy channel); (2) Epstein could arrange meetings with the Russian UN Ambassador at will; (3) Epstein was offering Thiel access to Russian diplomatic channels.
Epstein's Riyadh Nov 2016 trip was arranged through Raafat Alsabbagh, a Saudi contact. Epstein had been requesting an official invitation letter since Oct 18, 2016 (EFTA02448271: 'This will be the fourth time I arrange my schedule'). Epstein messaged Ruemmler 'Riyadh\!' on Nov 7 (EFTA02670892). He also contacted Jabor Y. (Jabor Yousuf Jassim Al Thani, Qatari) about meeting a 'sharia person' in Doha on Nov 9 from Riyadh (EFTA02670272).
Epstein was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia during US election week Nov 2016 (Nov 6-10). Flight planning emails confirm: Nov 6 departure from Paris to Riyadh (EFTA02670977), Nov 7 Groff reminder of Nov 10 departure from Riyadh (EFTA02670242). Karyna Shuliak accompanied him, requiring visa processing and hijab arrangements (EFTA02325695, EFTA02445731). Aziza Alahmadi was the Saudi host arranging logistics.
Post-Riyadh Nov 2016 follow-up: Aziza Alahmadi continued logistics from Riyadh. On Nov 16, 2016, Alahmadi asked about a tent for Epstein's island (EFTA02325450: 'hope you enjoyed your staying in Riyadh...what is the size of the tent Jeff is looking for?'). Epstein sent Saudi financial articles to both Alahmadi and Alsabbagh together (EFTA02639071). Alahmadi also received '23 and Me' DNA kit from Epstein staff (EFTA02213829), consistent with Epstein's DNA collection pattern. She supplied '10M palace' photos per Wave 4 findings.
Wolff-Bannon-Epstein three-way intelligence channel on Saudi Crown Prince. April 27, 2017: Wolff to Epstein 'Was with Bannon last night who was saying how much Trump liked deputy crown prince: Real guys guy, he loved him. Thinks they can do stuff together.' Epstein replied 'yes great.' This places Epstein receiving real-time White House intelligence on Trump-MBS relationship via Wolff-Bannon just weeks before Trump's May 2017 Riyadh visit, while Epstein was simultaneously cultivating Saudi contacts through Alsabbagh.
Epstein offered Ruemmler opportunity to represent Hamad bin Jassim (HBJ) Qatar former PM Jun 11 2017. Epstein wrote I assume you do not want to represent Hamad bin jassim Qatar Hired Ashcroft Silly Anyone you would like to suggest for him. Ruemmler asked Why does he need counsel. Epstein replied Navigate wash views on intl law and sanctions. Epstein was brokering legal representation for the QATARI side while his network was simultaneously connected to the ANTI-Qatar Broidy-Nader operation. HBJ bought house across from 9 E 71st St. Ashcroft firm was FARA agent for both Jho Low and Qatar.
FBI maintained active counterintelligence case (813B-NY-2928278) on Epstein, predating the sex trafficking case (50D-NY-3027571, opened Dec 2018) by at least one year. FD-1023 CHS reporting document dated 12/13/2017 filed under this CI case, classified SECRET//NOFORN, from FBINY Squad ID 25. CHS was 'recently established' (new source, unvalidated). The 800-series prefix indicates counterintelligence matters.
EFTA01683874 is the only FBI FD-1023 Confidential Human Source report released from CI case 813B-NY-2928278. Comprehensive search of 204K+ DugganUSA documents found 1,000 FD-1023 mentions but only one actual FD-1023 form. This suggests FBI either (1) filed only a single CHS report, (2) withheld other FD-1023s from DOJ release, or (3) transferred CI intelligence to sex trafficking case 50D-NY-3027571 opened Dec 2018.
Epstein's radical breakthrough contacts list (Jan 8, 2018, EFTA02540965) groups Gulf contacts as a single operational unit: sultan jabor raafat anas alongside bannon barrak ruemmler reid karp. This list also names kashoggi, prince andrew, princess mette, princess sophie, bill richardson, bill clinton, hamad bun jasem, donald trump, prince mbs, mbr, general clarke, larry summers, leon black, woody allen, thiel, chomsky. The Gulf quartet (Sultan Bin Sulayem, Jabor Al Thani, Raafat Alsabbagh, Anas Alrasheed) appears as a cohesive intelligence sub-network within Epstein's broader contact architecture.
Epstein sent the Charlie Sheen blackmail tax deduction article (Forbes, Nov 2015) to both Kathy Ruemmler (Apr 13, 2018, EFTA02475670) and Boris Nikolic (EFTA02476126). The article discussed Sheen's claim of a $10M tax deduction for blackmail payments. Separately, Epstein sent the Eliot Spitzer blackmail plea deal article (NYT, Oct 2, 2017) to Melanie Spinella (EFTA02594252). This demonstrates Epstein's active interest in the legal and tax treatment of blackmail payments -- both the mechanics of extortion and the financial consequences.
Identification of Epstein's 'my guy' on Ghosn: Epstein's source on Ghosn had advance intelligence that proved correct ('had it right from day one'). Karp confirmed it in Dec 2018 after visiting Tokyo himself. David Stern, Epstein's intelligence operative, was in Tokyo meeting 'Softbank COO (former Sprint Chairman)' on Jun 13, 2018 (EFTA02614349) — 5 months before Ghosn's arrest. Stern was also in Tokyo with 'PA' (Prince Andrew?) on Feb 9-10, 2018 (EFTA02527724). The 'my guy' source was likely someone in the Nissan/Renault corporate governance orbit — possibly a French corporate intelligence figure given Ghosn's French/Lebanese nationality and the Renault-Nissan alliance politics. Karp at Paul Weiss was the conduit, not the source — he was 'dealing with Ghosn crisis' as counsel but also validating Epstein's separate intelligence.
Epstein repeatedly pursued a personal meeting with Putin through Jagland over 5+ years: 'Would love to meet with putin' (June 20, 2018, EFTA02566141), 'I still would like to meet putin and talk economy, i would really appreciate your assistance' (July 30, 2015, EFTA02492828), 'when are you going to see putin?' (Sept 21, 2016, EFTA02450579), 'lets try to set a putin meeting' (Jan 19, 2014, EFTA01940931). Also set calendar reminders: 'prepare putin paper' (May 16, 2013), 'jagland putin sochi' (May 20, 2013).
Epstein told Bannon June 23, 2018 about SDNY threat 7 months before the RICO tip: 'maybe, but southern district. money laundering.. any action that offends the constitution. corrupt intent.. many open questions.. flippers will dictate (my view).' This shows SDNY vulnerability was already on Epstein's radar in mid-2018, well before Weingarten's Jan 21, 2019 RICO tip. Epstein was already tracking the legal threat vectors.
Epstein explicitly asked Jagland to arrange Putin/Lavrov access: 'I think you might suggest to putin, that lavrov, can get insight on talking to me. vitaly churkin used to. but he died.' (June 24, 2018). This directly states Churkin was Epstein's pre-existing channel to the Russian foreign ministry, and Epstein sought a replacement after Churkin's Feb 2017 death.
Epstein told Jagland: 'churkin was great. he understood trump after our conversations. it is not complex. he must be seen to get something its that simple.' (June 24, 2018, unified DB hf_to-be). This suggests Epstein was briefing Churkin on Trump before Churkin's death, and positioning himself as someone who could explain U.S. politics to Russian diplomats. The phrase 'after our conversations' implies multiple briefing sessions.
Epstein's Saudi intelligence network had at least 4 operational nodes: (1) Raafat Alsabbagh — arranged Riyadh meetings, introduced to Starr/Ruemmler, access to 'the prince'; (2) Aziza Alahmadi — logistics, hosted Karyna Shuliak, post-trip follow-up, 10M palace; (3) Anas Alrasheed — KSA touchline/Qatar blockade per Wave 4, regular Paris meetings; (4) Jabor Yousuf Jassim Al Thani — Qatari contact (EFTA02670272), introduced to Steve Bannon Nov 11, 2018 (EFTA02617269). These contacts gave Epstein real-time Gulf intelligence: MBS movements (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_027507), PIF investors (EFTA02383329), and sharia finance expertise.
Epstein demonstrated real-time Saudi intelligence tracking. On Nov 23, 2018, in iMessage thread (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_027507), Epstein stated 'MBS becoming weaker by the day. shame. Not sure he makes it' and 'MBS in UAE now.' In May 2019 (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025461), an interlocutor described someone as 'Smart guy--he was one of the guys who pulled Riyadh off,' suggesting Epstein had operational Saudi contacts who facilitated his trips. In May 2019, Epstein also tracked Rybolovlev-MBS Salvator Mundi painting transaction as potential Trump payoff (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031683).
Analysis of potential SDNY RICO tip sources: (1) The PRIVILEGED-REDACTED message at Jan 21 4:14 PM suggests the source identity was considered attorney-client privileged, meaning Epstein may have received the tip through a lawyer. (2) Weingarten independently confirmed it the next day through his own SDNY contacts. (3) Brad Karp (Paul Weiss chairman) was 'on call with DOJ' on Nov 30, 2018 (EFTA02612503), and Epstein was feeding him Ghosn intelligence. (4) The 'new guy' discussed on Jan 22 was someone Weingarten was evaluating but NOT representing — possibly a potential cooperator or source. (5) Epstein's knowledge of what Sasse was told ('im a witness against trump') by Feb 9 indicates Congressional intelligence pipeline. Most likely SDNY source: defense attorney network (Steptoe, Paul Weiss) with DOJ back-channels, not a direct law enforcement leak.
Gulf intelligence network operates in three geographic tiers with distinct functions: QATAR TIER: Jabor Al Thani (HBJ nephew, United Group for Projects) -- access to Qatari ruling family, Doha real estate, sharia finance, WC 2022 security. Connected to Epstein 2012-2019. Brokered Barak-HBJ meeting Dec 2018. SAUDI TIER: Raafat Alsabbagh (arranged Riyadh meetings, prince access) + Aziza Alahmadi (logistics, hosted Shuliak, 10M palace) -- paired Saudi conduit. Group emails to both from 2016-2017 on Saudi financial intelligence. Alsabbagh introduced to Ruemmler Oct 2016. UAE/TURKEY TIER: Sultan Bin Sulayem (DP World, Dubai PEP) + Fettah Tamince (Rixos Hotels, Turkey) -- women placement pipeline (Jun 2017 Russian masseuse trainee at Rixos Antalya). Cross-tier bridges: Jabor-Alrasheed grouped in radical breakthrough list and Wolff signing list; Alahmadi-Alsabbagh-Rod-Larsen grouped in Trump inauguration email; all four Gulf figures (sultan jabor raafat anas) appear as single unit in Jan 2018 contacts.
Cross-referencing CBP records with FBI case file reveals timeline of 2019 surveillance: (1) FBI case SOD-NY-3027571 opened 12/8/2018. (2) Epstein arranges new passport through G3/Indyke 3/5-8/2019. (3) New passport 566672615 issued 3/8/2019. (4) Same day, Epstein seeks Russian visa transfer to new passport. (5) First CBP entry on new passport 3/14/2019. (6) FBI VCAC agent confirms 3 active passports and travel hit 4/26/2019 (EFTA00040581). (7) SILENT HIT alerts generated: 4/28, 5/5, 5/18, 6/3, 6/10, 6/11, 6/14, 7/6. (8) 7/6/2019 final SILENT HIT at Teterboro leads to arrest. FBI had 4+ months of real-time travel tracking before arrest. Each SILENT HIT forwarded to multiple agents including OGA (Other Government Agency) suggesting inter-agency coordination.
KEY ANALYTICAL QUESTION: What was the 'Softbank caper' that Weingarten referenced? The term 'caper' implies an active operation, not mere legal representation. Combined with Epstein's 'go slow' advice and instruction to 'get the book on him' (gather intelligence), this suggests Epstein and Weingarten were contemplating involvement in or exploitation of the SoftBank situation — possibly: (1) Representing Misra while gathering compromising intelligence on him, (2) Representing the TARGETS of Misra's smear campaign, (3) Inserting themselves as intelligence brokers between factions, or (4) Running a parallel intelligence operation for an undisclosed client. The fact that Epstein immediately asked Teodorani about Benedetti 48 hours later — confirming he was researching the operative, not just the principal — suggests option 3 or 4: intelligence brokerage or parallel operation.
ASSESSMENT: Epstein as intelligence broker in SoftBank operation. The evidence supports a model where Epstein functioned as a PRIVATE INTELLIGENCE HUB connecting multiple parties circling the SoftBank/Misra situation. The network topology on Jan 25-28, 2019: (1) Weingarten (Steptoe) asked Epstein about Misra — seeking to represent him or use him; (2) Karp (Paul Weiss) was already representing SoftBank and had spoken to Misra; (3) Epstein was the ONLY person who knew both Weingarten and Karp were both involved — he told Weingarten 'dont mention my role with brad'; (4) Epstein probed Teodorani about Benedetti — researching the operative; (5) Epstein knew Benedetti personally from Paris 2013; (6) Epstein had SoftBank intelligence from Gulf sources (Jabor), media (Thomas), and deal flow (Barrett). This is CLASSIC intelligence brokerage: Epstein sat at the intersection of legal, corporate, intelligence, and media networks, able to trade information between parties who did not know the others were involved. The 'go slow' and 'get the book on him' instructions show he was managing the engagement strategically, not merely connecting people.
Epstein's intelligence broker model exposed through the Jan 21-26, 2019 72-hour window. He simultaneously: (1) received SDNY RICO advance intelligence and shared it with Weingarten (Jan 21); (2) discussed the 'new guy' who 'could only shoot blanks' (Jan 22) — likely a potential new criminal defense attorney or cooperator; (3) told Karp about google/ghosen/SIC updates (Jan 24); (4) brokered Weingarten's introduction to SoftBank's Misra through Karp connection (Jan 25-26); (5) directed Weingarten to watch Masayoshi Son YouTube with 'eyes that I have opened for you' (Jan 26). This is classic intelligence tradecraft: collecting from multiple sources (DOJ, SDNY, corporate Japan), synthesizing, and distributing to parties who each received only partial information.
Epstein coached Wolff on questions for May 2016 Trump interview, suggesting provocative angles: trump shuttle, hawaiian tropic contests, mortgage on Mar-a-Lago, revenue of golf courses as income, total debt, father buying casino chips to stave off bankruptcy. Also noted Epstein sent Wolff DocumentCloud link to Maison de l Amitie deed on Jan 14 2019, day before money laundering theory email.
Epstein demonstrated precise knowledge of Rybolovlev's offshore structure in Jan 15 2019 email (EFTA02625442 to Ruemmler, forwarded to Wolff as EFTA02625537). He stated: 'R has a bvi co. xitrans. that is owned by a family trust. (cyprus). R wife settles in oct after trump announces candidacy.' ICIJ Panama Papers confirms every detail: Xitrans Finance Ltd (BVI #494095, Mossack Fonseca), owned through The Virgo Trust (Cyprus, via Merco Trustees at Neocleous House Limassol), with Rybolovlev as beneficiary. The level of detail (BVI incorporation, Cyprus trust, family trust structure) goes well beyond public reporting available at the time. This knowledge is consistent with: (1) access to private banking intelligence (Deutsche Bank handled both Epstein and had extensive Russian oligarch relationships), (2) intelligence community briefings, (3) direct knowledge from real estate transactions (Epstein was court-approved stalking horse bidder for Maison de l'Amitie), or (4) information from Ron Soffer who litigated Xitrans in Accent Delight v. Sotheby's (SDNY 1:18-cv-09011). The email was sent to Kathy Ruemmler (former White House Counsel, then Goldman Sachs General Counsel) and Michael Wolff (journalist) — suggesting Epstein was positioning this intelligence for use in either legal proceedings or media exposure.
Epstein referred to his network as 'the org' in the context of an anticipated SDNY RICO prosecution (Jan 21, 2019). The exact quote is 'Im told southern District trying yo get out a rico claim against the org'. This self-referential language is significant: Epstein conceived of his operation as an organization rather than individual activities, which is consistent with a RICO enterprise theory. The term suggests structured, ongoing coordination among multiple participants.
On Jan 21, 2019, Epstein referenced an active Google deal in conversation with Weingarten. Weingarten wrote 'At cheryl's...sitting with her...watching trump shit...is Google going to happen?' Epstein replied 'I have two more bidders' and then 'What number are you on? I won't talk sensitive, i want to tell you google'. This reveals: (1) Epstein was brokering or advising on a deal involving Google in Jan 2019, (2) he had multiple bidders involved, (3) he considered the Google information sensitive enough to require phone rather than email, (4) Weingarten was at 'cheryl's' house (likely Cheryl Mills or another associate) watching Trump-related news when asking about the deal.
On Jan 21, 2019 at 4:41 PM, Epstein told Weingarten 'im off to europe, tomorrow.' Weingarten confirmed awareness, saying 'I am in london tomorrow-friday but I assume you are going to paris.' This travel pattern (NYC to Paris, late Jan 2019) is consistent with Epstein's documented European travel and should be cross-referenced with flight records and other correspondence. Two privileged-redacted messages from Weingarten (4:37 PM) and Epstein (4:14 PM) on Jan 21 bracket this travel discussion.
Full reconstruction of SDNY RICO tip timeline from HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_028601 (TEXT-001 version): Jan 21, 2019 4:14 PM — Epstein sends PRIVILEGED-REDACTED message to Weingarten. Jan 21 5:43 PM — Epstein: 'Im told southern District trying yo get out a rico claim against the org.' Jan 22 2:59 PM — Weingarten: 'Turns out you were right about sdny but they are going to wait their turn.' Jan 22 3:04 PM — Epstein asks 'Civil or crime.' Weingarten: 'Crim.' Epstein: 'Fun.' The PRIVILEGED-REDACTED opening message (4:14 PM) likely contained the source identification, redacted under attorney-client privilege. The 'Im told' passive construction indicates a human intelligence source, not media reporting.
Weingarten referred to SoftBank matter as 'the Softbank caper' on Jan 26, 2019: 'He wants me to hire him....thinking about using him on the Softbank caper.' Context: Weingarten was asked about French/Israeli lawyer Ron Soffer (Paris-based) and was considering deploying someone on the SoftBank matter. Epstein advised 'go slow' and Weingarten replied 'see if you can get the book on him.'
SYNTHESIS: The SoftBank honey trap operation (Benedetti-Misra, WSJ Feb 2020) maps directly to Epstein's documented coercion infrastructure. The primary corpus establishes: (1) Spy cameras purchased from stores and installed in Kleenex boxes (EFTA02580827, Feb 2014) with pattern going back to 2003 (EFTA02728545); (2) Maxwell coaching blackmail defense strategies (EFTA02434764, Dec 2009); (3) Epstein sending blackmail-related articles to his lawyers (EFTA02475670, EFTA02594252); (4) DNA collection from Gulf contacts including Jabor Al Thani, Sultan, and Alahmadi registered under controlled accounts (EFTA02324345, EFTA02224464); (5) Direct connection to Benedetti via Paris calendar (EFTA02297224, Sept 2013) and inquiry via Teodorani (EFTA02628256, Jan 28, 2019); (6) Knowledge of Misra's legal representation via Karp (EFTA02627134, Jan 26, 2019) -- just 2 days before the Benedetti inquiry. The timeline is: Epstein asks Karp about Misra (Jan 26), Epstein asks Teodorani about Benedetti (Jan 28), and Epstein was arrested 6 months later (July 6, 2019). Benedetti was the operative who orchestrated the SoftBank honey trap. Epstein was the node connecting Benedetti, Karp/Paul Weiss, the SoftBank intelligence from Jabor, and the surveillance tradecraft.
Epstein edited Michael Wolff's manuscript about the Trump-Rybolovlev deal for the book 'Siege' (Feb 1, 2019). Wolff's draft described Epstein counseling Trump on financial affairs and Epstein suspecting a Russian oligarch as the real owner. Epstein corrected: 'ie 36\! M Rybo=oev not known in 05' (correcting the $30M to $36M and noting Rybolovlev wasn't publicly known in 2005). Epstein's edited version added: 'Trump was beholden to Deutsch Bank and was on the hook personally for 40 million dollars' and changed Epstein's reaction from 'And rightly so' to 'not surprising' when Bannon said he was 'truly afraid' of Epstein.
In Feb 1, 2019 email to Wolff (EFTA02628214), Epstein provides first-person account of Maison de l Amitie deal: Gosman was his friend who needed to sell at 45M. Epstein agreed price of 30M and became 'stalking horse bidder at 36M.' At telephone auction only Epstein, Trump, and his friend pulty the developer bid. Trump quickly listed for 125M. Confirms Trump knew of massage activity and visited house during that period, per houseman John Allessi testimony. States explicitly: it is bought in the name of trump properties llc, no idea who owns it.
Epstein told Pritzker on Feb 9, 2019: 'sasse was told im a witness against trump. others were told I m a witness against clinton. so my credibility needs destroying. unlikely' (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_033142). This reveals Epstein knew about conflicting intelligence community narratives about his role — suggesting sources inside both political camps. Combined with the Jan 21 SDNY RICO tip, this shows Epstein had multiple intelligence feeds about law enforcement and political actors' knowledge of him.
On same day new passport 566672615 was issued (3/8/2019), Epstein immediately sought to transfer existing Russian visa from old passport to new. EFTA02280357: email from jeevacation@gmail.com to staff at 10:59pm: forwarding from Inna (G3 Russian Visa specialist) requesting copies of new passport, old passport and valid Russian visa. Epstein responded: I only want them to reissue the same visa i had in my passport. EFTA02280218: same day, G3 Miami Russian Visa specialist advised court paperwork and statement letter needed. This demonstrates: (1) active valid Russian visa as of March 2019, (2) urgency of Russian travel capability, (3) obtaining new passport while under FBI investigation may have been partly motivated by visa concerns.
FBI placed TECS travel hit on Epstein generating automatic SILENT HIT alerts for every border crossing. EFTA00040581 (4/26/2019): FBI VCAC/Human Trafficking agent emailed confirming Epstein had 3 active US passports (469911707, 547017616, 566672615) and that travel hit was in place. SILENT HIT record P3N06596100A01 generated alerts forwarded to FBI NY agents on: 4/27/2019 (Teterboro), 4/28/2019 (Teterboro), 5/5/2019 (Teterboro), 5/18/2019 (Palm Beach), 6/3/2019, 6/10/2019, 6/11/2019, 6/14/2019, and 7/6/2019 (arrest day, QUERY MANIFEST 07:30). Alerts went to FBI NY VCAC/Human Trafficking squad and OGA (Other Government Agency) recipients.
FARA cross-reference reveals Epstein network operated as systematic shadow foreign agent apparatus. Across 6 countries (Norway, Israel, Russia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, China), Epstein's intermediaries conducted activities that would typically require FARA registration: IPI lobbied Congress with Norwegian funds, HDI ran CODELs to China, Barak/Carbyne promoted Israeli tech, Deripaska sanctions advisory, Gulf intelligence transmission, Jagland-Lavrov back-channel. The ONLY Epstein-network figure who registered under FARA was Doug Schoen (for Ukraine/Pinchuk) -- and he was simultaneously embedded in Epstein's defense. By comparison, Paul Manafort had 5 FARA registrations. The comprehensive FARA avoidance suggests either deliberate evasion or intelligence community protection.
FARA search confirms zero registrations for any Epstein network Saudi intermediaries: Alsabbagh, Alahmadi, Alrasheed, Jabor Al Thani — none registered as foreign agents despite facilitating meetings between Epstein and Saudi/Gulf officials, arranging trips to Riyadh, and providing real-time political intelligence. Combined with Wave 6 findings of zero FARA for IPI/HDI/Rod-Larsen/Barak, this expands the systematic FARA non-compliance pattern to the Saudi/Gulf channel as well.
NEGATIVE FINDING: Complete absence of SAT, CNMI/Saipan, garment industry, and Rickenbacker references in 600K+ document Epstein corpus. Zero genuine hits for: Southern Air Transport (1000+ false positives = 3800 Southern Blvd + Southern Trust USVI), Rickenbacker (1 false positive = Miami Seaquarium), CNMI (0), Saipan (19 FedEx zone tables only), garment industry (personal clothing gifts only), William Langton (0 as person), Paul Mifsud (0). TWO notable finds: (1) EFTA00027083 FBI investigating Victoria Secret document retention in Maxwell case, (2) EFTA01386754 Epstein/Hoffenberg Emery Air Freight stock fraud (cargo airline exposure 1980s). If SAT-Wexner-Epstein logistics connection existed, it predates email corpus and left no documentary trace in released materials.
Epstein forced victim to give massages to powerful friends who sexually abused her
Epstein introduced powerful people to Plaintiff, required her to perform sexual massages on some of them, and during some massages she was sexually abused by force against her will by the friends she had been required to massage. This demonstrates third-party sexual abuse facilitated by Epstein beyond just himself.
Epstein controlled victim's movement: forbade leaving NYC, summoned back from Montreal
When Plaintiff took a trip to Montreal on her own, Epstein immediately knew she was gone from New York and summoned her back to his mansion. He told her she was not permitted to leave New York without his permission and was required at all times to remain in New York on call to service his needs. This demonstrates active surveillance and movement control consistent with trafficking. After this incident, Epstein kicked her out of her living quarters rendering her homeless overnight while simultaneously forbidding her from telling anyone about him.
Epstein's corporate enterprise structure: interlocking entities with distinct trafficking functions (property, aviation, staffing, finance, work-release)
Per complaint paras 15-26, 29, 44, 100-106: The complaint maps a corporate structure where each defendant entity served a specific function in the trafficking enterprise: Nine East 71st Street Corp / Maple Inc - Owned the NY mansion where abuse occurred. L.S.J., LLC / Nautilus Inc - Owned USVI island where abuse occurred. JEGE, Inc. - Owned Boeing 727 (N908JE) used to transport victims. NES, LLC - Employed staff who recruited victims, scheduled massages, paid victims, provided services. HBRK Associates, Inc. (incorporated Aug 2008 post-conviction) - Employed recruiters, schedulers, payment staff; replaced/supplemented NES functions post-conviction. Financial Trust Company, Inc. - Employed Epstein himself; used corporate finances for trafficking. Florida Science Foundation - Work-release shell entity. All entities had offices/operations in NY. Staff across entities included: chefs, butlers, receptionists, schedulers, secretaries, flight attendants, pilots, housekeepers, maids, sex recruiters, drivers. All employees acted at Epstein's direction regardless of which entity paid them.
Epstein forced victim to undergo medical procedures: mole removal by his doctors
Epstein forced Plaintiff to wear certain color panties, remove certain body piercings, and undergo surgery by Jeffrey Epstein's doctors to remove body moles. These controlling demands extended to food she consumed, clothing/jewelry she wore, and career path she followed. This level of bodily control is consistent with trafficking victim control patterns.
Epstein used coercion system: enterprise staff regularly reminded victims of his power to reward or punish, controlling through medical, housing, financial leverage
Per complaint paras 100-108: The coercion system operated through a designed scheme to cause victims to believe failure to perform sex acts would result in serious psychological, financial, or reputational harm. Elements included: (1) constant statements about Epstein's extraordinary wealth, power, and influence; (2) claims his business and political friends included world leaders and most powerful people; (3) systematic growth of victim pool through victim-to-recruiter pipeline; (4) explicit statements Epstein could advance or destroy anyone financially, reputationally, or otherwise; (5) threats that medical and life necessities would be denied to non-compliant victims; (6) threats to remove shelter/housing. All employees and associates constantly informed victims of Epstein's power to improve or destroy a victim's life depending on cooperation level.

Epstein education timeline verified: Cooper Union 1969-1971 (engineering, full scholarship, confirmed by school). NYU September 1971 - June 1974 (independently verified by Volscho). Dalton School teacher Fall 1974 - mid-semester before Spring 1976 (NOT 1973 start as widely reported — corrected via Dalton school newspaper The Daltonian). Donald Barr hired Epstein (Barr's last day June 30, 1974); Peter Branch was interim headmaster July 1-Dec 31, 1974; Gardner Dunnan headmaster Jan 1, 1975-June 30, 1997. Epstein claimed to have worked at Lawrence Radiation Labs at Berkeley — BOTH successor labs (Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence Berkeley) searched personnel files and found NO record. Independently confirmed by ABC News reporter Mark Remillard. Claimed to have 'studied math at UCLA with the Unabomber' — false on multiple counts (Kaczynski was at Berkeley not UCLA, left June 30, 1969).
Seymour Epstein family economics (NYC Municipal Archives): Volscho pulled Seymour G. Epstein's salary from NYC Civil Lists 1969-1981. Address: 3814 Sea Gate Avenue, Brooklyn (moved from 3742 Maple Ave between 1974-75). Parks Department employee, earned $13,530 in 1975 (weekly earnings slightly below Brooklyn median for white male 54-64 per 1970 Census). Final salary $18,000 in 1981 ($62K in 2024 dollars). Retired 1983 after two heart attacks. Jeffrey's Dalton salary (~$12,000) roughly matched his father's earnings in 1974 — the year Jeffrey started teaching. The coincident timing of the family's move (1974-75) with Jeffrey's new income suggests he may have been contributing to household finances. Seymour wrote: 'I enjoyed working for the park dept' and 'worked in every park in district 9.'
CBP FOIA contains complete US border crossing history 4/1/1988-7/6/2019 with 6+ passport numbers: Z5243731 (1988-93), 110708878 (1994-2003), 207320604 (2003-2010), 469911707 (primary 2010-2019), 516923892 (secondary), 547017616 (2016-2019 Border Patrol entries), 566672615 (issued 3/8/2019 newest), 484652646 (2011 brief). Hundreds of border crossings documented.

Passport sequence: Z5243731 (1988, 1 use), 110708878 (1994-2002, 31 uses), 207320604 (2003-2010, 63 uses), 112783574 (2003-2008, 10 uses concurrent), 469911707 (2010-2019, 541 uses primary), 484652646 (2011, 2 uses), 516923892 (2015-2016, 4 uses), 545368864 (2016, 2 uses), 547017616 (2016-2019, 25 uses), 566672615 (2019, 14 uses final). Concurrent use of multiple passports exceptional for private citizen.
J. Epstein & Company, Inc. was incorporated in New York on Nov 16, 1988 (DOS ID 1307306) with Gold & Wachtel as process agent at 10 East 53rd Street. Changed name to Jeffrey E. Epstein, Inc. on Oct 3, 1997. Dissolved by proclamation Sep 23, 1992, then formally dissolved Apr 4, 2001. 200 authorized shares. Former name Jeffrey E. Epstein, Inc. This is the earliest documented Epstein corporate entity naming Gold & Wachtel.
Resume fraud scheme as career foundation: Epstein's entire career trajectory was built on serial resume fraud. (1) DALTON SCHOOL (1974-1976): Hired Fall 1974 as math/physics teacher with fabricated educational credentials — was a 21-year-old college dropout with only a HS diploma. Dalton did not check his resume. Fired mid-semester by interim headmaster Peter Branch for absenteeism and students not hitting benchmarks. (2) BEAR STEARNS (1976+): Falsely claimed degrees from Stanford and UC Berkeley per supervisor Michael Tennenbaum. When confronted, Epstein confessed: 'I didn't think I'd get the job without Ivy-league schools on my resumé.' (3) JAIL (2008): Tried same scheme offering to teach GED classes — federal prosecutor caught it: 'he usually claims to have at least a master's degree, but other than a few college courses, he had no education above a high school diploma.' Per Thomas Volscho (CUNY sociology professor) combining original interviews, NYC Municipal Archives, school records, and DOJ documents.
Florida Science Foundation was an email alias/display name for Epstein's primary email jeevacation@gmail.com. Multiple EFTA documents show emails sent TO 'Florida Science Foundation[jeevacation@gmail.com]' from Andrew L. Farkas (real estate mogul). Topics include: JE recommendation letter (EFTA01899894, Mar 2013), 'Farkas/Epstein Call' (EFTA02438717, Oct 2009), JE/AF meeting (EFTA01925940, May 2014), 'Gradall LSJ' construction equipment (EFTA02443236, Jun 2009). This confirms FL SunBiz entity N07000010684 (The Florida Science Foundation Inc) was a real entity used as Epstein's email identity, not just a registered shell. Andrew Farkas = chairman of Island Capital Group/C-III Capital Partners.
G3 Visas and Passports form (EFTA02310784) shows application for Second Valid Passport for two travelers with US Government fee and G3 processing fees. This confirms Epstein maintained multiple concurrent valid US passports through the legitimate Second Valid Passport program, used by frequent travelers needing passports at multiple visa offices simultaneously. CBP records confirm concurrent use: passport 469911707 and 547017616 both used on same day 1/18/2017 at Teterboro, and passports 469911707 and 516923892 overlap in 2015-2016. This is not forgery -- it is a legitimate State Department program, but the volume (3 active in 2019, 9 total across career) is exceptional.

USMS Personal History form (USM-312) at arrest on 7/6/2019 lists employer as 'Southern Trust Comp.' with address 'Virgin Islands' and phone 340-775-2525. Occupation: 'Self Employed'. Resident address: 9 E 71 St, New York NY 10021. Cell phone: (212) 533-3739. Height 6'1, Weight 185, Hair Gray, Eyes Blue. DOB 1/20/53. Birth city: Brooklyn NY. Marital status: S. Prior federal arrest: YES. Security caution: 'Current or former public official' checked.

USMS Prisoner Number: 76318-054, District 054 (SDNY). Medical insurance: UnitedHealthCare. Medicare/Medicaid coverage: Yes. Medical records release signed by Epstein on 7/6/19. CJIS fingerprint card shows three passport numbers: PP-566672615, PP-516923892, PP-469911707. Residence: 9 East 71st, New York NY 10021. Charge: 07/08/2019 3699-Sex Offense. Occupation: BANKER.
CORRECTION to findings 1545 and 1474: Epstein entity names (Maple, Laurel, Cypress, Nautilus, Neptune) were previously categorized as tree/plant names. Per Volscho (2026) original research at NYC Municipal Archives, these are STREET NAMES from Epstein childhood neighborhood of Sea Gate Brooklyn. Maple Ave = boyhood home (3742). Sea Gate Ave/Nautilus Ave = second family home (3814 Sea Gate Ave at corner of Nautilus). Neptune Ave = route to Lafayette HS. This changes interpretation from generic obfuscation to sentimental attachment and psychological signature. Useful for entity identification: any unknown LLC using Sea Gate street names is likely an Epstein entity.
Sea Gate street naming pattern: Epstein named shell entities after streets in his childhood neighborhood of Sea Gate, Brooklyn — NOT generic tree/plant names. Maple Inc (9 E 71st) = 3742 Maple Avenue (boyhood home). Nautilus = Nautilus Avenue (corner of second family home at 3814 Sea Gate Ave). Neptune = Neptune Avenue (route to Lafayette HS where kids got shaken down for lunch money). Cypress and Laurel are also Sea Gate area streets. This pattern reveals sentimental attachment to working-class origins even as Epstein built a billionaire facade. Per sociology professor Thomas Volscho who verified the addresses through NYC Municipal Archives Civil Lists and NYC Tax Department property photos.
Epstein operated Boeing B-727-31H (N908JE) and Gulfstream G-1159B (N909JE)
Complaint and criminal indictment identify two specific aircraft: Boeing B-727-31H with tail number N908JE and Gulfstream G-1159B with tail number N909JE. Boeing owned by JEGE Inc. Used to transport victims including Plaintiff between NY, FL, USVI, and NM properties.
Epstein enterprise staff included chefs, butlers, receptionists, schedulers, pilots, recruiters, drivers
Under Epstein's control were numerous companies with many employees. The team included chefs, butlers, receptionists, schedulers, secretaries, flight attendants, pilots, housekeepers, maids, sex recruiters, drivers and other staff members. All employees acted at Epstein's direction and for his protection. Employees were paid through companies believed to have been funded by Epstein. They were constantly informing Plaintiff and other victims of Epstein's power. An unnamed 'Associate 1' was a scheduler/handler who contacted Plaintiff on Epstein's behalf and threatened her when she missed appointments.
Epstein aircraft: Boeing B-727-31H (N908JE) and Gulfstream G-1159B (N909JE) used for victim transport between properties
Per complaint paras 23, 102, 206: Epstein regularly traveled by private jet aboard a Boeing aircraft (B-727-31H, tail N908JE) or a Gulfstream aircraft (G-1159B, tail N909JE). The Boeing was owned by JEGE, Inc. Plaintiff was flown on the JEGE-owned aircraft. Both aircraft were used as means and instruments of federal crimes and are noted as subject to forfeiture in the complaint.
location (20)
ACRIS confirms Epstein as trustee of 11 East 71st St Trust received the adjacent property (BBL 1/1386/12) from SAM Conversion (Wexner) in Dec 1992 for zero recorded consideration. Epstein then transferred it to Comet Trust via Gold and Wachtel LLP in Apr 1996. Comet Trust trustee was Guido Goldman (Harvard, German Marshall Fund founder), who sold to Howard Lutnick for zero recorded consideration in Jan 1998. Separate deed transfer on 9 E 71st: Nine East 71st Corp moved to Maple Inc (USVI) in Dec 2011, then sold post-death for 51M in 2021.
34 E 69th St (former Iranian deputy consul general residence) was Epstein's NYC home from Feb 1992 to Jan 1996 before he moved to 9 E 71st St. Epstein leased from the State Department's Office of Foreign Missions at K/month, extended in Aug 1992 for 3 additional years with right of first refusal. He abandoned the property in January 1996 but continued paying rent and attempted to monetize it through subletting. Property was Iranian government property held under the Foreign Missions Act. The lease was terminated Aug 23, 1996. This establishes Epstein's pre-71st Street NYC residence and his relationship with the US State Department as landlord. Judge Denny Chin (later elevated to 2d Circuit) presided over the ejectment case.
CBP Anchorage Alaska Satellite Terminal entry on 11/11/2003 (passport 207320604) was likely a refueling stop for transpacific travel. EFTA02504757 (4/19/2015): pilot Larry Visoski provides flight plan NY-Anchorage-Tokyo with 6hr35min Anchorage-Tokyo leg, confirming Anchorage was used as Pacific refueling point. EFTA02370383 (same date): flight route chart shows PANC (Anchorage) on the planned route LFPB-LFMN-LSGG-GMMX-PANC-RJAA (Paris-Nice-Geneva-Marrakesh-Anchorage-Tokyo). The 2003 trip suggests Epstein traveled to Japan or elsewhere in Asia Pacific around November 11, 2003. No flight log exists in EpsteinExposed for this period.
CBP travel records show Epstein continued heavy international travel through USVI 2007-2008 during FL sex offense probation period (registered sex offender from 2008). Crossings in 2007 show 20+ entries to/from CBP-St Thomas VI Preclearance between 3/20/2007 and 12/18/2007. The 6/5/2002 entry is marked 'Outbound' from 'San Juan Passenger Branch' - the only outbound in early records. 2008 shows continued USVI travel through St Thomas Preclearance starting 4/1/2008 (during plea deal period). Passport changed from 207320604 to 469911707 around 5/31/2010. Middle name 'EDWARD' first appears with doc ID 469911707.
CBP records show 2007 as peak USVI shuttle year with 18 crossings, all at CBP-St Thomas VI Preclearance. Cross-reference with EpsteinExposed flights confirms 121 total flights in 2007, many TIST (St Thomas) shuttles. This was the same year the Palm Beach PD investigation was being negotiated into the federal plea deal (FBI investigation opened 2006, plea deal June 2008). The near-weekly USVI travel during active criminal proceedings suggests: (1) Epstein was not restricting his movements despite investigation, (2) USVI operations continued unabated, (3) the federal prosecutors allowed international travel to continue. CBP entries show only inbound at St Thomas Preclearance suggesting outbound legs from US mainland did not always generate CBP records.
CBP records show 570-day gap in border crossings from 6/24/2008 to 1/15/2010 corresponding to Florida incarceration period. Epstein pled guilty to FL state charges on 6/30/2008 and was sentenced to 18 months. Released from Palm Beach jail 7/22/2009 but remained on probation. First CBP entry after release is 1/15/2010 at CBP-St Thomas VI Preclearance. Immediately resumed USVI shuttle: 8 USVI crossings in 2010. This confirms he was effectively grounded from international travel during incarceration but rapidly resumed private jet travel to USVI upon release, suggesting USVI operations were high priority.
CBP-Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP, Ronkonkoma NY) entries appearing 2017-2018 (6 entries in 2017, 2 in 2018) are explained by International Jet maintenance facility at 2221 Smithtown Avenue. EFTA02374150: invoice from International Jet at MacArthur Airport for Gulfstream IV N212JE maintenance to JEGE LLC. EFTA02374151: K+ final invoice 10/17/2013 for G-IV major maintenance. EFTA02216790: Eric Roth (International Jet president) coordinating with Epstein staff. EFTA02284854: May 2019 helicopter (S76) visit to Roth at MacArthur. These CBP entries reflect aircraft maintenance drop-offs/pickups, not passenger travel destinations. Cross-ref with EpsteinExposed flight f-1502 (9/20/2017 ISP->Palm Beach) confirms ISP=MacArthur.
CBP records show dramatic shift in airport usage patterns correlating with enhanced surveillance awareness. Pre-2014: primarily Palm Beach Intl, JFK, USVI (commercial/shared airports). 2014-2016: shift to Teterboro (22 entries in 2014, 22 in 2016, all private jet). 2017-2018: further diversification to CBP-Long Island MacArthur (6 in 2017, 2 in 2018) and continued Teterboro dominance (19 in 2017, 18 in 2018). 2019: Teterboro (5) and Palm Beach (6) only, zero USVI. The systematic migration from commercial airports to private jet facilities, and the addition of MacArthur as alternate facility, suggests progressive operational security consciousness. By 2019, zero USVI entries despite 14 years of regular island travel indicates deliberate avoidance of USVI border control points.
CBP records reveal unusual travel locations. Bedford L G Hanscom Field entries on 10/13/2014 and 11/30/2014 and 12/11/2016 - this is a military/civilian field near Lexington MA, proximate to MIT and Harvard. Seattle King County International on 3/20/2014 - proximate to Gates Foundation HQ. Anchorage Alaska Satellite Terminal on 11/11/2003 - highly unusual for Epstein, suggests Asia-Pacific transit or Alaskan stop. Vieques Puerto Rico on 12/23/2015. Albuquerque International on 11/18/2015 - near Zorro Ranch (Santa Fe/Stanley NM). Westchester County Airport on 4/20/2014. CBP-Long Island MacArthur APT entries begin 4/6/2017, suggests new departure point.
Harvard circuit trips to Hanscom Field were far more frequent than CBP records indicate. CBP shows only 3 Hanscom entries (10/13/2014, 11/30/2014, 12/11/2016) but email corpus reveals many additional trips not captured in CBP FOIA: 6/30/2017 (EFTA02214958), 10/24/2017 (EFTA02226905, EFTA02227510), 1/12/2018 (EFTA02234395), 2/17/2018 (EFTA02237677), 3/25/2018 (EFTA02239718, EFTA02240481), 12/2/2018 (EFTA02263359), 10/24/2015 (EFTA00336826), 3/26/2017 (EFTA02349926), 6/26/2013 (EFTA02299137). This means 10+ additional Hanscom trips documented in emails but absent from CBP records. Possible explanations: (1) CBP FOIA response was incomplete, (2) domestic private jet flights may not always generate CBP records, (3) some trips originated from USVI requiring CBP while others from domestic locations did not.
CBP travel records show consistent USVI-Teterboro shuttle pattern post-2010. Primary airports: CBP-St Thomas VI Preclearance (inbound from islands), Teterboro Jet Aviation Airpt (private jet NJ), Palm Beach International, JFK, Newark. Less frequent: Bedford L G Hanscom Field (Boston area, visited 11/30/2014 and 12/11/2016), Seattle King Co Intl (3/20/2014), Westchester County Airport (4/20/2014), Anchorage Satellite Term (11/11/2003 - unusual), Vieques A Rivera-Rodriguez (12/23/2015), Albuquerque Intl (11/18/2015), San Juan Passenger Branch (transit 12/31/2002 and 1/2/2003, plus 7/5/2016 American Airlines). CBP-Long Island MacArthur APT appears 2017-2018.
CBP records show a 'Border Patrol' entry type (distinct from standard Inbound/Outbound) begins appearing in late 2016 with document ID 547017616. First Border Patrol entry: 12/11/2016 at CBP-St Thomas VI Preflight. Subsequent Border Patrol entries: 1/2/2017, 1/19/2017, 1/29/2017, 3/10/2017, 3/11/2017, 4/12/2017, 4/16/2017, 5/29/2017, 7/20/2017. These 'Preflight' inspections at CBP-St Thomas VI and CBP-Cyril King GAF suggest enhanced screening beginning late 2016, possibly related to pending federal investigation. The document ID 547017616 appears to be a second passport used specifically during these Border Patrol encounters.
Hanscom Field trips were exclusively Harvard/MIT academic circuit visits. Documented itineraries show consistent meeting pattern: Martin Nowak (Harvard math/evolution), Joi Ito (MIT Media Lab), Joscha Bach (AI researcher), Seth Lloyd (MIT quantum computing), Danny Hillis (computer scientist), Noam Chomsky, Larry Summers (at his home), and Mike Hopkins. EFTA02240481 (3/25/2018): full schedule showing Nowak->Joi->Madars->Joscha->Summers. EFTA02349926 (3/26/2017): Nowak->Joi(private)->Joi People->Bach->Lloyd->Hillis->Summers. EFTA02214958 (6/30/2017): Lunch with Valeria/Noam at Harvard, meeting Joi Ito, Boris Nikolic. EFTA02300238 (11/28/2014): Reid Hoffman and Joi Ito flew with Epstein from island to Bedford on N908JE. Pattern: Teterboro->Hanscom via private jet, sedan service by Tristar Worldwide to/from Rectrix Aviation.
USVI shuttle pattern shows dramatic evolution: pre-2007 sporadic (1-5 crossings/year), 2007-2008 intensive (18+12 crossings, weekly frequency during plea deal period), 2010-2016 sustained high (7-19/year), 2017-2018 rapid decline (9 then 1), 2019 zero USVI crossings. The 2007 peak of 18 USVI crossings (nearly every 2 weeks) during active plea negotiations is investigatively significant -- Epstein was intensifying island operations while under criminal investigation. The abrupt 2018 drop to a single USVI crossing (3/27/2018) coincides with Miami Herald reporting resumption and potential FBI re-investigation. By 2019, zero USVI crossings despite continued travel -- suggests awareness of enhanced surveillance at USVI border points.
CBP records show Epstein's last international entry before arrest was 7/6/2019 at Teterboro Airport Hanger 2, with document ID 566672615 (the newest passport, issued 3/8/2019). The final sequence of CBP entries using new passport 566672615 begins 3/15/2019 and runs through 7/6/2019: 3/15, 3/19, 4/9, 4/14, 4/19, 4/28, 5/5, 5/18, 6/3, 6/10, 6/11, 6/14, 7/6. The 7/6/2019 entry is marked Inbound at Teterboro Airport Hanger 2 - this is the arrest moment. Note he obtained new passport 566672615 on 3/8/2019, just 4 months before arrest, while already under investigation.
159 Oenoke Ridge, New Canaan, CT 06840 is confirmed as Lesley Groff's home address from Epstein phone contacts. Emails show visitor instructions ('leave the side door by garage open for you, no alarm will be set') and New Canaan real estate hotsheets sent to this address. Groff's FEC donations also list New Canaan CT. The number 2127509895 is Epstein's account number at Roses and Blooms NYC florist (nycrosesandblooms.com), NOT a phone number. Flower delivery receipts charged to 'Jeffrey Epstein' at account 2127509895 with orders managed by Bella Klein. 23 corpus hits for Oenoke Ridge, 1000+ hits for the florist account number.
Epstein office at 457 Madison Avenue NYC used for initial victim recruitment meetings
Per complaint para 54: Katlyn Doe's relative brought her to Jeffrey Epstein's office located at 457 Madison Avenue in New York, New York to meet and discuss treatment options. This appears to be a separate office location from the 9 East 71st Street mansion and the 575 Lexington Avenue corporate office of Nine East. This location was used for initial contact/grooming meetings with potential victims.
Epstein placed victim in apartment at 301 East 66th Street under surveillance
Epstein told Plaintiff to move into an apartment at 301 East 66th Street, a building he owned or controlled. Plaintiff was under constant surveillance: Epstein could monitor what she was doing in the apartment at all times and could know and monitor where she was going outside the apartment. This is consistent with other known Epstein surveillance operations.
Priscilla Doe trafficked to USVI island 20+ times between 2006-2012
Between 2006 and 2012, Plaintiff was trafficked to Jeffrey Epstein's Island on Little Saint James on more than twenty occasions. On each occasion she was forced to engage in commercial sex. Abuse locations: New York every year 2006-2012 (except late 2008-2009 while Epstein in jail); USVI 2006-2012; Florida 2007-2012 (including during ankle bracelet period); New Mexico 2007-2010.
Epstein controlled apartments at 301 East 66th Street NYC used to house victims including Katlyn Doe and her sham spouse
Per complaint paras 113, 120, 123: Epstein promised Plaintiff a permanent place to live at one of his apartments at 301 East 66th Street, New York, NY, if she would marry Associate 3. She was initially housed there. When she became 'too old' (age 25) in 2014, Epstein and his associates forced her to move out, leaving her without housing. Note: para 120 references '301 East 71st Street' which appears to be a typo for 301 East 66th Street based on context. The 301 East 66th Street address is associated with entities 301 East 66th Street Associates LP, 301 East 66th Acquisition Inc, and 301 East 66th Acquisition Partners LP already in the investigation DB.

MCC staffing crisis documented in BOP internal emails: Since Jan 1 2019, MCC hired 18 staff and lost 33 to retirement/transfers. Acting BOP Director Hurwitz (Aug 14, 2019): 'the problem is not our authorized staffing levels or funding, rather it is finding good candidates.' Approx 148 TDY staff from multiple regions assisted. Guards Noel and Thomas responsible for 50-70 inmates on night of death. Post-death: requests for Associate Warden over Correctional Services, Deputy Captain, and other positions to address systemic understaffing.
MCC suicide watch removal: Epstein removed from Suicide Watch and stepped down to Psychological Observation on July 29, 2019 (6 days after first incident). Chief Psychologist: 'He was just escorted to Health Services for a follow-up assessment/evaluation. Once completed, he will be escorted to Attorney Conference to meet with his Attorney.' Epstein had requested CPAP machine for sleep apnea and to return to SHU with a cellmate. Psych found no mental health issues precluding return to SHU.
MCC BOP internal communications reveal DOJ/BOP coordination on messaging post-death. Hugh Hurwitz (Acting BOP Director) and DOJ officials drafted talking points ('Draft language') on Aug 11-12, 2019. Guards put on admin leave — 'one is scheduled off today already and the other didnt show.' Hurwitz instructed Warden to be notified first before staff notification. US Attorney meeting with Warden scheduled 10am Aug 12. ODAG visited institution Aug 15.
MCC BOP suicide timeline (Aug 9-10, 2019): Cellmate Reyes departed 8am Aug 9 for court, leaving Epstein alone in SHU cell. Epstein with attorneys 8:30am-6:45pm. Social call 7pm, 'good spirits, nothing unusual.' Found unresponsive 6:33am Aug 10. Time of death 7:36am. Hard drives removed from SHU at 10:15pm same day and replaced with new ones. OIG took 2 computers (FPS 021407270, FPS 0214207268) next morning at 11:15am. FBI did not arrive until Mon Aug 12 at 3:24pm.
MCC camera corruption: Washington Post inquiry to BOP (Aug 26, 2019) asserting camera data outside Epstein's cell was 'corrupted/unreadable' and being sent to Quantico FBI lab for analysis. BOP internal camera status report shows: FBI removed previous DVR system, new NVR installed. MCC had total cameras with some inoperable. Camera coverage gaps identified in elevators, receiving/discharge, housing units, sallyports, and perimeter.
CBP FOIA response CBP-2019-083151 (9/11/2019) reveals withheld records of significant investigative value. While Epsteins own 14 pages of travel records were released in full, CBP withheld ALL records of non-US citizen passengers traveling aboard aircraft N908JE and N212JE under FOIA exemptions (b)(6) privacy, (b)(7)(C) law enforcement privacy, and (b)(7)(E) law enforcement techniques. This means complete passenger manifests exist for both aircraft showing every non-US-citizen who flew on Epsteins planes, but are being withheld. Given known passengers included foreign nationals (Ehud Barak, Ghislaine Maxwell UK citizen, various Russian/Middle Eastern contacts), these withheld records could identify previously unknown foreign associates. The (b)(7)(E) exemption is particularly notable as it suggests the passenger data is considered an active law enforcement technique.
USMS FOIA 2019USMS34199 located 73 responsive pages from SDNY District Office automated files. 70 pages released (with redactions under b(6), b(7)(C), b(7)(E), b(7)(F)), 3 BOP-originated pages forwarded separately. BOP FOIA 2019-06259 located only 3 pages of BOP records about Epstein (1 released in full, 2 partial with b(6)/b(7)(C) redactions). The extremely small BOP record (3 pages for a 33-day federal prisoner who died in custody) is noteworthy -- either BOP records were destroyed, classified, or the search was inadequate. The 2019-06259.pdf is a scanned image without OCR needing processing.
GRM filing index documents comprehensive aircraft purchase/sale records for helicopters N722JE and N162AE including: Letters of Intent, Aircraft Purchase Agreements, Inspection Reports, Title Searches, Warranty Bills of Sale, FAA Registrations, Delivery Receipts, Wire Transfer Instructions, Turbomeca engine correspondence, PAP Transfer, and Freedom International Air Minutes. Also includes separate binder for Purchase of G4 (Gulfstream IV) with full transaction documentation. Additionally contains Sale and Purchase section for aircraft with Shmitka Air's Sikorsky deposit.

Epstein legal representation in 1996-1998 lease dispute: Wachtel and Masyr LLP (Steven J Cohen) and Jeffrey Schantz as transaction counsel
The US v Epstein opinion identifies Epstein legal team for the 34 E 69th dispute: Wachtel and Masyr LLP represented by Steven J. Cohen handled the federal litigation. Jeffrey Schantz served as Epstein transaction counsel who communicated with OFM about lease matters including the April 19 1996 phone call where Epstein claimed OFM representative Richard Massey orally consented to the Fisher sublease. This is notable because it predates Epstein use of Darren Indyke as primary attorney. The Wachtel and Masyr connection suggests Epstein had a different legal infrastructure for real estate matters in the 1990s before consolidating under DKIP. Also notable: the USAO Southern District under Mary Jo White prosecuted this case through AUSA Serene K. Nakano.
Court opinion reveals Epstein profit motive in 34 E 69th scheme: blocked Galinas 16K lease to sublet to Fisher at 20K per month
Judge Chin opinion reveals Epstein arbitrage scheme: OFM had agreed with Galinas to lease at 16K-18K per month. Epstein exercised right of first refusal (lease renewal at 15K) then immediately sublet to Fisher at 20K per month - a 5K monthly profit. Epstein also sought 100K from Galinas for improvements. Court noted OFM argued Epstein preferred to enter into a new lease with Galinas at a higher rental price which was the hidden agenda. However court ruled under NY landlord-tenant law OFM could withhold consent for any reason. The scheme shows Epstein pattern of monetizing government property access - paying 15K to government, collecting 20K from Fisher, a 33 percent arbitrage on former Iranian diplomatic property controlled by US State Department.
