Tudor Investment Corp owned a unit at Trump International Hotel and Tower (1 Central Park West, Manhattan — Block 1113, Lot 1467). Purchased via deed from Air Shamrock Inc for M on 2004-04-27, with M mortgage from JPMorgan Chase Bank. Sold to Fiducial Properties Inc for .5M on 2008-07-31. This places Tudor Investment Corp in the same Trump property where Epstein network members also had transactions, though no direct overlapping transactions were found.
Tudor Foundation Inc (EIN 61-502288, Stamford CT) is PTJ's primary philanthropic vehicle, a 501(c)(3) private foundation. Revenue ranged -6.6M/year (2011-2023). Paul Tudor Jones Family Foundation (EIN 61-600826, c/o Sullivan & Cromwell LLP NYC) is a smaller pass-through entity. Robin Hood Foundation (EIN 13-3441066) co-founded by PTJ is one of NYC's largest anti-poverty nonprofits (-200M annual revenue, -460M assets). PTJ had no FARA registrations, no UCC filings, no FAA aircraft registrations found in his name.
Epstein's Financial Trust Company (FTC) held $16.3M investment in Tudor Futures Fund as of 4/30/2012 (FTC column shows 16,315,213 start, 16,298,799 end, 15,917,403 — 2.38% YTD return). This was one of four major hedge fund positions held through FTC, alongside Highbridge Capital ($18M), ML Hertz ($3.9M), and Renaissance Inst Equity Fund ($1.3M).

Tudor was one of Epstein's oldest fund investments, held for over 13 years (Jan 2001 - Aug 2014). The August 31, 2014 valuation (EFTA02711200) shows Tudor Futures at ,501,622 on 7/31/14 dropping to /bin/zsh on 8/31/14 with -2.44% YTD return, confirming full redemption. Cash activity line item reads 'Tudor Redemption: ,501,622.' Total asset summary shows .8M across all Epstein entities at that date.

Monthly statements tracked position value: Apr 2013 (.3M area based on context), Jun 2013 showing SFLLC Tudor Futures alongside Highbridge Capital and King Street investments. By July 2014 the position was ,501,622 and fully redeemed to /bin/zsh by August 2014. The same Jun 2013 statement (EFTA02678941) also shows 'L Black Fee' — Leon Black consulting payments — in the same cash summary as Tudor Futures distributions.
Tudor Investment Corp engaged Delta Strategy Group for lobbying on 'Financial Institutions/Investments/Securities' from Q2 2014 through Q3 2016, spending K/quarter (K total over 2.5 years). Terminated Q1 2017. Lobbyists included Jim Newsome (former CFTC chairman), Scott Parsons, Graham Harper. This lobbying on derivatives/securities regulation occurred during the same period Epstein's FTC held the Tudor Futures position (redeemed Aug 2014).
Tudor Investment Corp maintained LDA lobbying through Delta Strategy Group from Q2 2014 through Q3 2016, paying $30K/quarter to monitor derivatives and securities legislation/regulation.

PTJ FEC DONATION ANALYSIS: Paul Tudor Jones II is a prolific bipartisan donor. Key contributions 2019-2025: (1) Debbie Wasserman Schultz ,400 (2019-2021), (2) Biden Victory Fund ,000 (2020), (3) Honor Pennsylvania ,000 (2022), (4) Marco Rubio ,800 (2021), (5) Keystone Renewal PAC ,000 cumulative (2023-2024), (6) Tim Sheehy for Montana ,600 (2024), (7) Managed Funds Association PAC ,000 (2024), (8) Florida Democratic Action PAC ,000 (2021). Unlike the Epstein inner circle's targeted bundling pattern (Indyke/Groff/Kahn coordinating donations to Plaskett and Richardson), PTJ's donations are broad and do NOT overlap with the Epstein network's political giving clusters. The only shared recipient between PTJ and the Apollo triad is Marco Rubio and MFA PAC -- standard industry giving, not evidence of coordination.
PTJ is a prolific bipartisan political donor via FEC (+ contributions found). Key recipients include Debbie Wasserman Schultz (recurring), Keystone Renewal PAC (K+), Honor Pennsylvania (K), Chris Christie, Tim Sheehy, Joe Manchin, Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, Martin Heinrich. Addresses: Palm Beach FL and Stamford/Greenwich CT. No FEC donation overlaps found with Epstein network bundling clusters (USVI/Plaskett, NM/Richardson, Clinton). PTJ's son Paul T. Jones III also donates via Tudor Investment Corp.
Tudor Investment Corp SEC EDGAR structure: Three CIKs — Tudor Investment Corp Et Al (0000923093, DE incorporated, 200 Elm St Stamford CT, 453 filings including 13F-HR quarterly holdings), Jones Paul Tudor II (0001270196, 57 insider filings), Tudor Futures Fund /NY/ (0000870088, NY limited partnership, 7 filings). Key personnel per Tudor Futures 2014 Form D: PTJ (Executive Officer/Director), Mark F. Dalton (Executive Officer/Director, later Tudor co-chairman), Richard L. Fisher (Director, Memphis TN), Andrew S. Paul, Michael Riccardi, Mark R. Nicholson (Tudor Capital Australia, Sydney), John R. Torell, Gavin S. Boyle (Tudor Capital Europe, Epsom Surrey UK). Tudor Investment moved from 1275 King St Greenwich to 200 Elm St Stamford.
ACRIS NYC property records show Tudor Investment Corporation as party in 5 NYC property transactions: (1) doc 2024040400565001 as buyer/grantee, 200 Elm Street Stamford CT address (current HQ), 2024. (2-3) docs 2004042900393001-002 as both grantor and grantee, 1275 King Street Greenwich CT (former HQ), 2004. (4) doc 2005012000664001 as grantor, same Greenwich address, 2005. (5) doc 2008080101085001 as grantor, Greenwich address, 2008. These property transactions show Tudor Investment Corp's NYC real estate activity but do NOT overlap with any Epstein-connected properties (no 71st St, no 457 Madison, no USVI).
SEC EDGAR confirms Tudor Investment Corp CIK 1080384 (registered entity) and CIK 923093 (Tudor Investment Corp ET AL, DE, 342 filings). Paul Tudor Jones II personal CIK is 1270196 (57 filings). Tudor Fund For Employees LP is CIK 861895 (31 filings). The extensive SEC filing history covers hedge fund registrations, 13F filings, and partnership reports. No EDGAR search linking 'Paul Tudor Jones' to 'Epstein' returns results -- the only hits are Motient Corp/TerraStar which involve an unrelated Jeffrey W. Epstein (General Counsel, Reston VA). This confirms the PTJ-Epstein connection was exclusively through private channels (investment in Tudor Futures Fund via FTC, social via Robin Hood/Dubin), NOT through any public corporate relationship.
communication (5)
Epstein sent email to African contact 'afri xp' (labeled 'Jeffrey Epstain - Friend of Sultan') on Nov 5, 2011, with subject line listing: 'paul tudor jones. - Tanzania, Ian osbourne yuri milner - social network. Jes Staley,,,oil hedge - JPM/'. This groups PTJ with Jes Staley (JPM CEO), Yuri Milner (DST Global), and Ian Osborne in a single networking/business context. Sent same day Epstein asked Eva Dubin about PTJ's Singita lodge ownership.
Epstein emailed Eva Dubin on Nov 5, 2011 asking 'does paul Jones own singita lodge in tanzania? or are they his partners?' Same day, his African contact 'afri xp' emailed asking Epstein to confirm PTJ as owner of 'the Singita Group' in context of a Senegalese game reserve management deal (Niokolo Koba). Epstein was attempting to broker PTJ's Singita operation into a Senegalese wildlife reserve deal through his African network.
Gates emailed Epstein Sept 25, 2014 regarding Robin Hood Foundation events: 'Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events.' Epstein had suggested Gates use the Robin Hood visit to 'pitch DAF' (donor-advised fund scheme). PTJ co-founded Robin Hood Foundation and was a fixture at its events. Epstein purchased tables at Robin Hood benefits annually (2014-2016, $30K tables per Eva Dubin), inviting '10 girls per usual' through handler Lesley Groff.
Richard Kahn (Epstein financial manager, HBRK Associates) forwarded Bloomberg article to Epstein about PTJ being victimized in Hamilton Broadway Ponzi scheme (Feb 6, 2017), commenting 'Looks like there are many not too shrewd billionaires.' PTJ, Michael Dell, and Och-Ziff executives lost money in Hamilton ticket Ponzi. Kahn's role forwarding this suggests ongoing Epstein interest in PTJ's financial affairs and possible schadenfreude from Epstein's inner circle.
BS Stern (Barry Stern) recommended Singita lodge operators to Epstein (Aug 29-30, 2018) as potential staff for his Caribbean island: 'The Singita people come to mind but they are based in s Africa I think. They run small spectacular lodges and Gomes for Paul Tudor Jones as well.' Epstein was seeking 'a couple to manage by islands in the carib 50 staff just me.' PTJ's Singita/Tanzania operation served as a known reference point in Epstein's hospitality network as late as August 2018.
relationship (24)
Epstein emailed African contact ('afri xp') on Nov 5, 2011 with subject line: 'paul tudor jones. - Tanzania, Ian osbourne yuri milner - social network. Jes Staley,,,oil hedge - JPM.' This note-to-self format lists PTJ as a discussion topic linked to Tanzania (PTJ's Singita Grumeti Reserves). Same day, Epstein separately emailed Eva Dubin: 'does paul Jones own singita lodge in tanzania? or are they his partners?' Shows Epstein actively researching PTJ's Tanzania assets, potentially to leverage PTJ's lodge management expertise for his own African ventures via the Senegalese contact.
Epstein's African contact ('afri xp', using a Senegalese BlackBerry/Orange account) asked Epstein on Nov 5, 2011 about PTJ's Singita Game Reserves: 'Pls see below the link to the Singita game reserves + lodge. I would like to meet ur friend to take him to Senegal to operate the Niokolo Koba game reserves. We will give him management of the reserves + exclusive hotel management. Can u pls confirm that he is the owner of the Singita Group.' This shows Epstein was being asked to broker an introduction between his African contact and PTJ's Singita operation for a Senegalese game reserve partnership.
Epstein memo (Nov 5, 2011) lists PTJ as a topic/contact alongside other key names: 'paul tudor jones. - Tanzania, Ian osbourne yuri milner - social network. Jes Staley,,,oil hedge - JPM/'. This places PTJ in Epstein's inner circle of billionaire contacts circa 2011, alongside Ian Osborne (advisor later connected to Peter Thiel's intro to Epstein via SPIEF), Yuri Milner (DST Global), and Jes Staley (JPMorgan private banking). The Tanzania reference connects to PTJ's Singita Grumeti Reserves.
PTJ co-chaired Dubin Breast Center benefits (2011, 2012) alongside multiple Epstein-network figures: Glenn and Eva Dubin (primary Epstein social circle), Steven Cohen, Howard Lutnick, David Shaw, Bob Pittman. Dec 12, 2011 inaugural benefit and Dec 10, 2012 second annual benefit. Eva Dubin served as Epstein's primary social connector to PTJ's Robin Hood Foundation circle.
PTJ and wife Sonia were co-chairs of Dubin Breast Center Inaugural Benefit (Dec 12, 2011) and Second Annual Benefit (Dec 10, 2012) alongside Eva and Glenn Dubin (the honorees). Both benefit invitations were found in Epstein corpus. The 2012 event also included Allison and Howard Lutnick, Beth and David Shaw, and Kathleen and Kenneth Tropin as co-chairs. Epstein had forwarded these invitations, indicating he attended or was invited. This places PTJ in the immediate social circle of Glenn Dubin, whose deep Epstein ties are well documented.
Sonia and Paul Tudor Jones II co-chaired the Dubin Breast Center benefits alongside Epstein's core social circle. Inaugural benefit (Dec 12, 2011, EFTA02694479): co-chairs include PTJ, Bob Pittman, Scott Bommer, John Griffin. Second annual (Dec 10, 2012, EFTA02702727): expanded co-chairs add Steven Cohen, Glenn Dubin, Howard Lutnick, David Shaw, Kenneth Tropin. Third annual (Dec 9, 2013, EFTA02672763): SONIA JONES is the HONOREE alongside Dr. Ramon Parsons. These are Dubin family charity events, and Epstein was a regular attendee/donor to the Dubins. PTJ's presence as co-chair positions him in the same intimate philanthropic circle, though no evidence of direct PTJ-Epstein interaction at these events.
Kafrawi Yuliantono, an Indonesian hotelier who applied to work for Epstein (2013-2016), mentioned PTJ in his application: 'I knew one of my Client in America his name is Paul Tudor Jones, from Tudor Investment, that offer me me job to taking care his Private Yacht in 2014.' Kafrawi previously worked at Parrot Cay (British West Indies) and Four Seasons properties. He contacted Epstein through former hotel manager Nicholas Simmonds and 'Edwina', mentioned meeting Epstein at his office with a 'girlfriend who is masseuse in Parrot Cay.' He was given Epstein's Skype address and scheduled for a call. This confirms PTJ and Epstein shared overlapping service staff networks in luxury hospitality.
A yacht crew applicant (Nicholas Simmonds, Parrot Cay, April 2013) emailed Epstein seeking employment, stating: 'I knew one of my Client in America his name is Paul Tudor Jones, from Tudor Investment, that offer me job to taking care his Private Yacht in 2014.' This confirms PTJ owned a private yacht circa 2013-2014 and that at least one person in Epstein's orbit was aware of PTJ's yacht operations. The email was sent to Epstein's known address, suggesting overlap in luxury maritime circles.
PTJ-APOLLO NETWORK SEPARATION: Despite overlapping social circles, PTJ and the Apollo triad have NO documented direct business relationship. PTJ's connection to Epstein was through two independent vectors: (1) INVESTMENT: FTC held Tudor Futures Fund position (.3M declining to full .5M redemption in Aug 2014), managed through Southern Financial LLC (USVI entity) via JPMorgan Chase. This was a standard hedge fund allocation, not a privileged relationship. (2) SOCIAL: Robin Hood Foundation events (PTJ co-founder; Epstein annual attendee), Dubin Breast Center benefits (shared co-chair role with Dubin/Cohen/Lutnick/Shaw). PTJ is on the NY Federal Reserve Investor Advisory Committee and Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee (LittleSis rels 992437/346689) -- positions of institutional trust that he maintained throughout and after the Epstein period. Arpad 'Arki' Busson (LittleSis rel 1738194), a hedge fund manager in Epstein social circles, served as former investment advisor for PTJ -- this is the closest personal-network link between PTJ and Epstein circles outside Robin Hood/Dubin.
Epstein attended Robin Hood Foundation annual benefits regularly (2014-2016 confirmed), buying tables at ,000 each via Eva Dubin's invitations. Richard Kahn handled table purchases. In 2015, Epstein asked to invite 'the same 10 girls per usual' to the Robin Hood event. PTJ co-founded Robin Hood Foundation. Epstein used Robin Hood as a networking venue, specifically pitching Gates on DAF (Donor-Advised Fund) scheme at the event where 'Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events' (Sept 2014).
Epstein attended Robin Hood Foundation events annually from at least 2009-2016, purchasing tables of 10 (at ,000 in 2016 per Kahn). PTJ co-founded Robin Hood and was a central figure at these events. Gates emailed Epstein on Sep 25, 2014: 'Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events' referring to Robin Hood measurement sessions and dinner. Epstein initiated this by emailing Gates: 'when you are in for Robin Hood, perfect time for you to pitch DAF.' Epstein's table guests were recruited by Lesley Groff ('Would you like to invite the same 10 girls per usual to the Robin Hood event?'). Epstein even asked to be listed as 'anonymous' in the Robin Hood program (2015). The Robin Hood events were the primary social venue connecting Epstein, PTJ, Dubin, Dalio, and Gates.
Gates-Epstein email Sep 25 2014: Epstein emailed Gates suggesting Robin Hood as venue to pitch DAF plan. Gates replied listing his NYC schedule and noting that Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events. Confirms Epstein was orchestrating Gates appearances at Robin Hood and knew PTJ would be there.
Epstein purchased a 30,000 dollar table at the Robin Hood Benefit annually (2015, 2016 confirmed), coordinated through Eva Dubin and managed by Richard Kahn at HBRK Associates. In 2015, Lesley Groff asked Epstein whether he wanted to invite the same 10 girls per usual to the Robin Hood event. This confirms Epstein used PTJ-founded Robin Hood galas as social access points, bringing young women as guests. PTJ co-founded Robin Hood in 1988 with Glenn Dubin.
Epstein forwarded a Singita Grumeti Reserves article to a female contact on Jan 16, 2015, describing PTJ's 346,000-acre lodge: 'It sounds like the realm of fantasy, but this is pretty much the world Wall Street billionaire Paul Tudor Jones (and the few guests able to afford it) get to experience at Sasakwa, the flagship hilltop lodge Mr. Jones built.' The woman replied: 'I told you I had very simple taste\!' followed by multiple Skype scheduling messages. The pattern of Epstein sending luxury lifestyle content to women as enticement, followed by Skype calls, is consistent with his documented grooming methodology.
Epstein forwarded article about PTJ Singita Grumeti Reserves to an Italian-speaking contact (Jan 16, 2015): text described it sounds like the realm of fantasy describing the 346,000-acre reserve PTJ leases in western corridor of Tanzania Serengeti. The contact replied I told you I had very simple taste. Epstein was using PTJ luxury safari lodge as aspirational social currency in his network, suggesting plans to visit or broker access.
Sonia Jones (PTJ's wife) and Eva Dubin (Glenn Dubin's wife, Epstein's close social circle) were 'best friends' per Epstein's own characterization. Three categories of evidence: (1) Eva emailed Sonia on Oct 19, 2015 asking her to arrange medical care for Epstein's back pain: 'Jeffrey has a lot of back pain. I really would like for him to see Peter.' Sonia replied: 'Pete will take care of him. I talked to him today and he is on it\!\!' Eva forwarded this to Epstein. (2) Epstein messaged Deepak Chopra on Aug 27, 2016: 'Eva said you were working with Sonia Jones her best friend? So she wanted to be careful.' (3) PTJ and Sonia were co-chairs of the Dubin Breast Center benefits (2011, 2012) alongside Epstein's inner circle. Sonia was the 2013 honoree.
PTJ and Epstein were both benefit co-chairs for the Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai. The inaugural benefit (Dec 12, 2016) listed co-chairs including 'Sonia and Paul Tudor Jones II' alongside Amy and John Griffin, Veronique and Bob Pittman, and Dubin Breast Center co-directors. The second annual benefit also listed PTJ alongside Steven Cohen, Glenn Dubin, Howard Lutnick, David Shaw, and Kenneth Tropin — all billionaire hedge fund managers, several with documented Epstein connections.
Epstein forwarded a Bloomberg article (Feb 6, 2017) about a Hamilton tickets Ponzi scheme that victimized PTJ and Michael Dell. Richard Kahn sent it to Epstein with commentary: 'Looks like there are many not too shrewd billionaires.' The article states PTJ 'runs the billion Tudor Investment Corp., one of the oldest hedge funds. He helped start the Robin Hood Foundation.' This is notable because: (1) Kahn felt comfortable mocking PTJ to Epstein, suggesting PTJ was not a close personal contact they needed to protect; (2) it shows Epstein and his inner circle were tracking PTJ's activities; (3) the Hamilton Ponzi also hit Och-Ziff, another Epstein investment platform.
BS Stern (Barry Stern) recommended Singita/PTJ's lodge management to Epstein on Aug 30, 2018 when Epstein was seeking a couple to manage his 'islands in the carib' (50 staff): 'The Singita people come to mind but they are based in s Africa I think. Might as well call them. They run small spectacular lodges and Gomes for Paul Tudor Jones as well.' Epstein replied: 'thank you, i appreciate it. have you figured out how to start having some fun\! springtime of our senility.' This shows PTJ's Singita operation was known as a benchmark for luxury island/lodge management in Epstein's network, and that Epstein was actively seeking to replicate that model for his Caribbean properties in August 2018.
PTJ is NOT in Epstein little black book. Comprehensive search of epsteinsblackbook.com name list confirms no entry for Tudor, Paul Jones, or PTJ. However, Robin Hood co-founder Glenn Dubin IS in the black book and has deep documented Epstein ties. PTJ not appearing in the contact book suggests his connection to Epstein was primarily financial (fund investor) and social (shared Dubin orbit) rather than personally intimate.

Robin Hood Foundation board overlap with Epstein network is extensive. PTJ founded Robin Hood 1988 with Glenn Dubin. Current/past board includes: Glenn Dubin (co-founder, deep Epstein ties), Lloyd Blankfein (Goldman Sachs, Epstein connected), Jes Staley (board member, known Epstein associate convicted), Kenneth Tropin (current chair), Daniel Och (founder Och-Ziff), Harvey Weinstein (former board member). Epstein attended Robin Hood benefits via Eva Dubin annually, buying 30K tables and bringing 10 girls. LittleSis confirms PTJ entity 15084 with positions at Robin Hood Foundation as Founder, Board Member, education committee member, prize advisory board member.
PTJ served on the board of The Weinstein Company alongside Harvey Weinstein (LittleSis entity 15084, relationship 1334971). PTJ appeared in multiple Weinstein Company lawsuits on CourtListener as a named party (Wedil David v. Weinstein Company LLC, Geiss v. Weinstein Company Holdings LLC). This is another nexus where PTJ social network overlapped with individuals later facing sexual misconduct allegations, similar to the Epstein-Dubin overlap through Robin Hood.
Arpad Busson aka Arki Busson served as former investment advisor for Paul Tudor Jones (LittleSis rel 1738194). Busson is significant because he is a hedge fund manager who has appeared in Epstein context - he founded EIM Group and was in Epstein social circles. Busson was also linked to Uma Thurman and Elle Macpherson. This provides another potential social vector between PTJ and Epstein circles.
Robin Hood Foundation has formal partnership with JPMorgan Chase, co-hosting the annual JP Morgan Robin Hood Investors Conference. This is the institutional nexus connecting PTJ (Robin Hood founder), Jes Staley (JPMorgan executive and Robin Hood board member who was Epstein chief defender at JPM), and Epstein (16.3M Tudor Futures investor via FTC/SFLLC who attended Robin Hood galas annually). The JPMorgan-Robin Hood partnership means PTJ organization was formally aligned with the same bank that maintained 40+ Epstein accounts and processed over 1B in flagged transactions.

Specifically: (1) CourtListener: Two SEC enforcement actions against Tudor Investment (1996 DC quick settlement, 2010 SDNY), one employment discrimination case (1995), and Weinstein Company board liability cases. No Epstein parties in any case. (2) FARA: Zero registrations for Tudor, Tudor Jones, or Tudor Investment. (3) LDA: Tudor Investment lobbied through Delta Strategy Group (2014-2016, securities regulation monitoring) -- no overlap with any Epstein-network lobbying firms. Robin Hood Foundation has zero LDA filings. (4) SEC EDGAR: 'Tudor Jones + Epstein' returns only Motient Corp/TerraStar filings involving Jeffrey W. Epstein (General Counsel, Reston VA) -- NOT the financier. (5) Investigation Reports: Zero mentions of Tudor Jones or Tudor Investment in any ingested congressional/enforcement reports.
SEC v. Tudor Investment Corp (D.D.C. 1:96-cv-02119, filed Sep 12, 1996, terminated Sep 17, 1996): Securities Exchange Act case settled in 5 days. SEC v. Tudor (SDNY 1:10-cv-08598, filed Nov 12, 2010, terminated Jul 26, 2011): Securities/commodities case before Judge Richard J. Sullivan. Grier v. Tudor Investment (SDNY 1:95-cv-10902): Employment discrimination case terminated 1998. PTJ also named in multiple Weinstein Company lawsuits as board member (Geiss v. TWC Holdings RICO, Wedil David v. TWC, etc.). LittleSis confirms PTJ held a position at The Weinstein Company.

Tudor Investment Corp had offshore presence including: Tudor Investment Fund Limited (Bahamas, reg 113255B, incorporated 2000, defaulted/dissolved by 2003 per Panama Papers and Bahamas Leaks), Tudor Investment Company Multi-Portfolio Fund Ltd (Bahamas, reg 32166B, incorporated 1995, struck off 2002), Tudor Investment Corp Inc Inversiones Tudor SA (Panama, reg 36108, incorporated 1979, status VIGENTE), Tudor Management and Investment Corporation (Panama, reg 73857, incorporated 1981, status VIGENTE). All found via OCCRP Aleph and ICIJ datasets. These are standard hedge fund offshore structures, not inherently suspicious, but the Bahamas/Panama vehicles are notable given Epstein own offshore structures in same jurisdictions.
Epstein email to African contact ('afri xp', sent from 'Jeffrey Epstain - Friend of Sultan' address) on Nov 5, 2011 contains a stream-of-consciousness subject line: 'paul tudor jones. - Tanzania , Ian osbourne yuri milner - social network . Jes Staley,,,oil hedge - JPM/'. This appears to be a list of discussion topics or deal ideas. PTJ is paired with Tanzania (his Singita Grumeti Reserves); Yuri Milner with 'social network'; Jes Staley with 'oil hedge - JPM'. The format suggests Epstein was brokering introductions or business between these individuals and his African contact.
Same day (Nov 5, 2011), Epstein emailed Eva Dubin asking: 'does paul Jones own singita lodge in tanzania? or are they his partners?' This reveals Epstein was actively researching PTJ's Tanzania assets. The 'afri xp' contact had also emailed Epstein about Singita Game Reserves that same day, asking Epstein to 'confirm that he is the owner of the Singita Group' and proposing to take PTJ's contact to Senegal to 'operate the Niokolo Koba game reserves' with 'exclusive hotel management.' Epstein was attempting to broker an African game reserve deal using his knowledge of PTJ's Singita operations as leverage.
Tudor Investment Corp has publicly denied any relationship with Epstein. Per media reports, Tudor Investments say neither Jones nor anyone at the company ever had a relationship with Epstein. However, DOJ financial records prove FTC held 16.3M in Tudor Futures Fund from at least 2012-2014, contradicting this denial. The fund investment flowed through FTC/SFLLC (Southern Financial LLC), Epstein managed investment vehicles, meaning Tudor accepted Epstein money as an investor in their fund. Whether PTJ personally knew Epstein invested is unknown but the financial relationship is documented in government releases.
PTJ-Epstein relationship assessment: The connection is primarily FINANCIAL (passive fund investment) and SOCIAL (shared philanthropic circles via Dubin/Robin Hood), NOT operational. Key indicators: (1) FTC held a standard institutional position in Tudor Futures Fund that was fully redeemed Aug 2014 -- consistent with arm's-length investor relationship. (2) Epstein referenced PTJ's Tanzania operation to broker African deals (Nov 2011) but asked Eva Dubin about ownership rather than PTJ directly, suggesting no direct personal relationship. (3) PTJ co-chaired Dubin events and shared Robin Hood Foundation venues with Epstein's social circle, but Epstein accessed Robin Hood through Eva Dubin, not through PTJ. (4) Zero court/litigation overlap with any Epstein entities. (5) Zero FARA/lobbying overlap. (6) Zero investigation report mentions. (7) Yacht crew applicant who knew Maxwell also claimed PTJ as a client -- this is a shared personnel pool in ultra-wealthy yacht/hospitality sector, not an operational link. The Weinstein Company board position is a parallel risk factor (another predator's enabler circle) but not an Epstein-network connection.
PTJ-APOLLO CROSS-NETWORK ANALYSIS: PTJ and the Apollo triad overlap through two distinct vectors but NO evidence of direct PTJ-Apollo business relationship. (1) ROBIN HOOD FOUNDATION: PTJ co-founded Robin Hood (EIN 13-3441066, -200M annual revenue, -460M assets). Epstein attended Robin Hood events 2009-2016, buying K tables. Gates confirmed 'Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events' (Sept 2014). Both PTJ and Epstein ran in the Robin Hood donor circle alongside Dubin, Dalio, and Gates. (2) DUBIN BREAST CENTER: PTJ and Sonia Jones co-chaired benefits alongside Glenn Dubin, Steven Cohen, Howard Lutnick, David Shaw, Kenneth Tropin (EFTA02694479, EFTA02702727). Sonia Jones was HONOREE at 2013 benefit. (3) WEINSTEIN COMPANY: PTJ served on the board alongside Harvey Weinstein (LittleSis rel 1334971). This is a SEPARATE pattern of proximity to individuals later facing sexual misconduct charges. (4) NO APOLLO: No evidence PTJ held Apollo fund investments, served on any Apollo entity board, or had any direct Apollo business relationship. The PTJ-Epstein connection was exclusively financial (Tudor Futures Fund .3M FTC investment) and social (shared Dubin orbit). PTJ is NOT in Epstein black book.
Epstein forwarded Bloomberg article about Hamilton Ponzi scheme to contacts, noting 'Looks like there are many not too shrewd billionaires' — the article named PTJ as a victim of the Meli/Sidikaro M Ponzi scheme (Feb 2017). Epstein tracked PTJ's financial activities and vulnerabilities, consistent with pattern of monitoring billionaires for leverage/intelligence purposes.
Richard Kahn forwarded Bloomberg article to Epstein about PTJ being victim of Hamilton tickets Ponzi scheme (Feb 6, 2017). Kahn commented: Looks like there are many not to shrewd billionaires. Article reported PTJ and Michael Dell among 125+ victims who unwittingly poured cash into the scam by Joseph Meli. This shows Kahn and Epstein monitored PTJ financial activities and Kahn found amusement in PTJ being defrauded, suggesting Epstein network viewed PTJ as a mark rather than peer.
Epstein inquired about PTJ's ownership of Singita Lodge in Tanzania: 'does paul Jones own singita lodge in tanzania? or are they his partners?' (EFTA02695004/EFTA02365057). Epstein separately tried to leverage PTJ's Singita connection — asking a Senegalese contact to meet the owner of Singita Group to manage Niokolo Koba game reserves (EFTA02545671). In Aug 2018, BS Stern recommended 'The Singita people' to Epstein for managing his Caribbean islands: 'They run small spectacular lodges and Gomes for Paul Tudor Jones as well.' Epstein was seeking 'a couple to manage my islands in the carib 50 staff just me.'
Epstein was brokering PTJ Singita Grumeti management model for West Africa. An African contact sent Epstein the Singita lodge link asking him to confirm PTJ owns it, proposing to give PTJs contact management of the Niokolo Koba game reserves in Senegal with exclusive hotel management. In Aug 2018, BS Stern suggested The Singita people come to mind as couple to manage Epstein private islands in the Caribbean. Epstein was actively leveraging his knowledge of PTJ Tanzania operations as deal currency in Africa.
19 documents in DOJ Vol 11 corpus mention Tudor Jones, of which: 4 are FTC financial statements showing Tudor Futures Fund holdings (EFTA02698368, EFTA02711200, EFTA02674602, EFTA02678941); 1 is the Africa brokering email (EFTA02694762/EFTA02380342 duplicate); 1 is Gates DAF/Robin Hood email (EFTA02386397); 2 are Dubin Breast Center invitations (EFTA02694479, EFTA02702727); 4+ are Singita Tanzania articles or inquiry emails; 1 is Hamilton Ponzi article forwarded by Kahn; and 5 are mail delivery failure notifications containing forwarded emails about Singita lodge. Epstein had no direct email correspondence with PTJ in the released corpus.

Yacht crew applicant Kafrawi Yuliantono (Indonesian hospitality professional) emailed Epstein on March 30-31, 2013 seeking employment, name-dropping PTJ as a former client: 'I knew one of my Client in America his name is Paul Tudor Jones, from Tudor Investment, that offer me me job to taking care his Private Yacht in 2014.' Applicant also mentioned knowing 'Giselle Maxwell' from previous hotel manager Nicholas Simmonds. Epstein forwarded to DKIP LLC (Indyke). Multiple copies exist (6+ duplicates) suggesting this was circulated within the operation.
