Cross-border operations, foreign intelligence connections, and international networks.
Prosecution emails between AUSA Susan Roe (Western District of Washington) and AUSA Ann Marie Villafana (Southern District of Florida) reveal a separate FBI investigation of David Copperfield for federal kidnapping under 18 USC 1201, running parallel to the Epstein case in 2008.
Roe reported to Villafana (EFTA00223748, Feb 2008):
"We're moving ahead w/our investigation at this time. We are pretty sure we can charge DC and his assistants with a conspiracy of 1201 (kidnapping)... Here we see international travel brought about by inveigle or decoy, use of emails and phones to trick her to travel, and her arrival at the isolated island with no way off and no passport (DC took hers the first night and held it until they were on the plane out), holding her for ransom, reward or other (here for sexual activity)."
Key details from the investigation:
Villafana simultaneously discovered a direct Epstein-Copperfield business connection in FedEx records — a package sent by Epstein to "John Melk/Musha Cay." Melk had sued Copperfield (Melk v. Copperfield, 2:04-cv-00059-KJD-LRL, Las Vegas). Villafana wrote: "I like the obscure reference to 'rumors' about Copperfield's personal life. Maybe Melk is someone to talk to?"
In a later exchange (EFTA00179797, Sept 2008), Roe confirmed victims "ALL flew through Ft Lauderdale" to the Bahamas. She was meeting Bruce Lyon to immunize a witness/co-conspirator. Villafana offered to help if South Florida jurisdiction applied. Roe also asked if Villafana thought Epstein "would ever talk about Copperfield" — and Villafana responded: "He would just never turn in one of his friends unless it meant a big benefit for him."
This case was ultimately closed because, as a Seattle FBI agent later wrote, "our USAO was weak and intimidated by the financial resources of Copperfield" (EFTA00172840).
On March 14, 2011, the FBI Legal Attaché in Sydney sent a formal request to the Australian Federal Police notifying them that two FBI Miami agents would fly to Australia to interview a victim residing in Glenning Valley, New South Wales (EFTA00005711).
The victim was Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who had been hiding in Australia from Epstein and Maxwell for several years. The CACU (Crimes Against Children Unit) authorized the travel (EFTA00005707). A Confidential Human Source from Jacksonville had located her and provided her email address and 8 photographs (EFTA00005705).
The FBI’s request letter states:
"…indicated EPSTEIN had instructed her to have sex with numerous associates in both the United States and overseas. [She] identified several subjects by name and indicated she had records to support her allegations."
The actual FBI FD-302 interview report (EFTA00210958, 12 pages) reveals:
The next day, agents traveled to her residence and collected 20 photographs, her massage certification, and her passport (EFTA00005714).
A telephone interview three weeks later (EFTA00020703) revealed:
In her 2015 sworn declaration (EFTA00020729), Giuffre stated: “The agents seemed like they were being blocked from doing what they wanted to do” and “someone else stepped in and blocked them from getting charges filed.” She believed prosecutors “possess videotapes and photographic images of me as an underage girl having sex with Epstein and some of his powerful friends.”
The same grand jury transcript (EFTA00008631) details how Maxwell recruited a 17-year-old English girl (Indictment Victim 3) in London around 1994-1995, grooming her through friendship before delivering her to Epstein for sexual abuse.
Maxwell met the victim through a mutual friend and treated her "like naughty school girls." Maxwell told the victim that Epstein "was going to like her." When Epstein flew to London, Maxwell called the victim to her residence:
"Maxwell was saying to Epstein — giving him a resume of her attributes. Saying she's so pretty, she's so strong, and then Maxwell asked her to give Epstein a massage... 'Since you're so strong I'd appreciate it if you give Jeffrey a massage because he needs a massage every day or I get in trouble.'"
In the room, Epstein took off his robe, and during the massage he touched the victim and pulled her hand to his penis. When she reacted, Epstein told her: "Don't be frigid." When she left the room, Maxwell was just outside: "Did you have fun? Did he like it?" Days later, Maxwell called: "Well, aren't you a clever girl, Jeffrey was very impressed."
Maxwell then asked her to return: "Thank God you're here; if it's not you or someone it falls to me." When Maxwell opened the bedroom door, Epstein was standing there nude. Maxwell said: "I'll leave you guys to it."
The victim traveled with them to Palm Beach, USVI, Paris, and New York over the next several years. The abuse included Epstein groping her and using a vibrator on her genitals. Maxwell was always nearby afterward: "How was it, is he happy?" and "You know how he is when he's not happy and you know what makes him happy, he has to have sex all the time, he's like a super hero."
At Palm Beach, after the victim turned 18, Maxwell laid out a school-girl outfit on the bed:
"Maxwell said 'well, I thought it would be adorable if you gave Jeffrey his tea in this.' So [victim] felt like she had to put it on so she put it on, took Epstein his tea, and Epstein then slapped her on the buttocks and reached under the skirt and touched her."
When the victim confronted Maxwell, she was told: "Don't be so frigid." Afterward: "I heard you did well."
Maxwell then tried to make the victim a recruiter:
"Do you know anyone who can give him a blow job today; I don't feel like it?"
And specified: "They have to look young at least." The victim refused — "she didn't want anyone else to go through that." She struggled with substance abuse, got sober in her 20s, and now runs a non-profit for people who struggle with addiction and trauma.
Caroline Lang, Chairman of Sotheby's Switzerland and daughter of French politician Jack Lang, co-owned Prytanée LLC — a USVI-based company — with Epstein. The entity was valued at $700,000 (50% interest) in Epstein's estate proceedings and had a Deutsche Bank Wealth Management account opened July 22, 2016 in St. Thomas.
Epstein's will named Lang as recipient of $5 million. She was described in Deutsche Bank due diligence as "internationally recognized for her in-depth knowledge of the art market" and "Chairman of the Swiss Department of Impressionist, Modern & Contemporary Art."
Critically, an Easter 2014 schedule shows: "Caroline Lang to arrive Miami via AF#0090 from Paris — her daughters will come with her: Anna 15 and Rebecca 13." Epstein's driver Janusz was instructed to "pick up the family and take them to the PB house." A convicted sex offender hosting a mother with her 15- and 13-year-old daughters at his Palm Beach residence raises grave concerns.
French prosecutors opened a financial investigation into Lang for tax fraud and money laundering related to her failure to declare Prytanée LLC to French tax authorities. She resigned from the Syndicat des producteurs indépendants after the EFTA files were released. Her father Jack Lang is also under investigation.
A victim's court filing explicitly names the Czech Republic as a source country for Epstein's trafficking operation (EFTA00210921):
"Upon information and belief, Defendant transported minor girls from Turkey, the Czech Republic, Asia, and numerous other countries, many of whom spoke no English."
This allegation is corroborated by the extensive email evidence showing Epstein's associates actively scouting and procuring Czech women:
The same filing appears in duplicate as EFTA01107189.
EFTA00090314 is an FBI FD-1023 Confidential Human Source (CHS) reporting document from October 2020. It contains explosive intelligence claims:
The report’s synopsis references "Foreign influence on U.S. officials by Israel, Russia, and UAE."
Additional intelligence connections in the corpus:
A direct SMS/iMessage archive between William Burns and Jeffrey Epstein from September 2014 reveals the Deputy Secretary of State sharing real-time sensitive information:
The #2 US diplomat was texting a registered sex offender about White House crisis meetings and Presidential follow-up travel in real time.
On his last day at the State Department (October/November 2014), William Burns emailed Epstein:
"Off to Virgin Islands tomorrow for a week, and about to walk out the door of State Department for last time... I remain very much interested in consulting or advisory arrangements. Hope to get up to NY again in next month... Thanks again for all your interest and advice."
Epstein invited Burns to his private island (Little St. James). Burns declined but revealed classified diplomatic movements:
"I'll now have to go off to join John Kerry in Oman with the Iranians."
Burns disclosed secret Iran nuclear negotiation details — including the location (Oman) and Secretary of State Kerry's travel — to a registered sex offender. He simultaneously solicited a post-government business relationship with Epstein.
July 21, 2014 — During the height of the Crimea crisis, Epstein emailed Terje Rød-Larsen about an invitation from A. Simanovsky, deputy head of the Russian Central Bank, described as "the response to sanction guy for Putin." Simanovsky, responsible for BRICS currency and the new development bank, invited Epstein to Moscow.
Epstein's response: "at some point, i would love bill burns views on whether I should or not."
The Deputy Secretary of State was being consulted by a convicted sex offender about whether to accept an invitation from a senior Russian sanctions official during an active geopolitical crisis. This suggests Burns was functioning as a policy advisor to Epstein, not the reverse.
September 14–15, 2018: An iMessage exchange reveals that Steve Bannon (Trump’s former chief strategist), Kathryn Ruemmler (Obama’s former White House Counsel), and Miroslav Lajčák (President of the UN General Assembly) all convened at Epstein’s townhouse within hours of each other.
Bannon arrived the evening of September 14, “filming interview for Italian N[ews]” at Epstein’s residence. Epstein immediately offered:
“Reminder Ruemmler for lunch tomorrow if you like.”
The next morning, Epstein asked Bannon: “do you want early breakfast? And are you coming for Kathy?”
Bannon confirmed: “Kathy is @ 1?” — scheduling a meeting with Obama’s former top lawyer at a convicted sex offender’s home.
Then Bannon added: “Miro also” — referring to Miroslav Lajčák, who at the time was President of the 72nd UN General Assembly.
That afternoon: “Miro coming at 330” … “Miro here” … “That was fun!”
In a single day, Epstein’s townhouse hosted the former top lawyer for the Obama White House, the former top strategist for the Trump White House, and the presiding officer of the United Nations General Assembly — all as guests of a convicted child sex offender. Epstein wasn’t merely attending to them; he was the convening power, casually offering one to the other like items on a menu.
On November 30, 2010, Prince Andrew's Special Adviser Amit Patel sent him confidential UK government trade envoy visit reports for Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore, and Vietnam from his October 2010 trip to Southeast Asia.
Andrew forwarded all four documents to Epstein's personal email (jeevacation@gmail.com) just 5 minutes later.
The email chain from EFTA00751685 shows:
jeevacation@gmail.com (Epstein) — 5 minutes laterThe attached documents were: VR_HONG_KONG_OCT2010_vFINAL.doc, VR_SHENZHEN_OCT2010_vFINAL.doc, VR_SINGAPORE_OCT2010_vFINAL.doc, VR_VIETNAM_OCT2010_vFINAL.doc.
This was two years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution. Context from surrounding documents shows this was part of Andrew's November 2010 New York visit, during which he stayed at Epstein's 71st Street property. On the same trip, Andrew emailed Epstein (EFTA02417121): "I will call you later this evening after I have had my chat with my Libyan contact to see what we can arrange for you in Tripoli."
On February 19, 2026, Thames Valley Police arrested Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in public office — a charge carrying a maximum life sentence in the UK — based in part on this document.
William Burns — Deputy Secretary of State (2011-2014), later CIA Director (2021-2025) — maintained an extensive personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein documented across 299 EFTA documents.
Epstein's September 2014 schedule reveals a carefully orchestrated meeting structure:
“proposed schedule. 2 pm one on one you and I, 3-4 bill burns to join. i will need alone time with him after. 730 woody and kathy ruemmler for dinner” — Epstein to Peter Thiel, Sept 10, 2014 (EFTA00362862)
The full schedule (EFTA00363093) confirms:
Burns was driven to the airport by Epstein's personal driver after the private meeting.
On August 21, 2014 (EFTA00364173), Epstein's schedule shows: “9:30am Meeting w/Treasury Department, 1500 Penn. Ave, NW Room 2127 / 12:00pm LUNCH w/Bill Burns at Steptoe Office.” Lesley Groff coordinated directly with Burns' State Department assistant Mary (EFTA00364250).
Burns appears on Epstein's “People to See” list (EFTA00363616) alongside: Bill Gates, Larry Summers, Leon Black, Mort Zuckerman, Andrew Farkas, Kathy Ruemmler, John Brockman, Peter Thiel, Boris [Nikolic], Bob Kerry. Separately, Epstein's dinner party reminders list: “ehud, david stern, leonard fisher, bill burns terje, geitner, frankel, jes” (EFTA00368932) — Burns alongside Ehud Barak, Tim Geithner, Jacob Frenkel, and Jes Staley.
Epstein to Terje: “I would love bill burns views on whether I should or not A. Simanovsky, deputy head of Central Bank... the response to sanction guy for putin” (EFTA00993416) — Epstein sought Burns' counsel on engaging Russian Central Bank officials during the sanctions era.
In April 2019 — just three months before Epstein's arrest — Terje Roed-Larsen texted Epstein: “Will see Bill Burns in London in the evening” (EFTA00784321). This demonstrates the Burns-Epstein-Terje triangle remained active until the very end.
Epstein's stream-of-consciousness memo (EFTA00869995) lists: “systems breakdown...bill burns, ariane, jes, mort? boris, daniel” — Burns alongside Ariane de Rothschild, Jes Staley, Mort Zuckerman, Boris Nikolic.
William Burns — then Deputy Secretary of State (now CIA Director) — had an extensive personal relationship with Epstein documented across 43 EFTA documents from 2013 to 2019.
On July 21, 2014 — four days after MH17 was shot down over Ukraine — Epstein emailed Terje Roed-Larsen seeking Burns’ advice on meeting a top Russian official (EFTA01916290):
"at some point, i would love bill burns views on whether I should or not. A.Simanovsky, deputy head of Central Bank, responsible for BRICS, currency & new bank of development. has asked to see me, he is the response to sanction guy for putin"
Alexei Simanovsky was Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank of Russia (2013-2017). The meeting was being arranged by Sergey Belyakov, associated with Barclays Capital Russia and the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, whom Epstein later introduced to Peter Thiel and Tom Pritzker.
On June 1, 2014, Burns attended a dinner at Epstein’s townhouse alongside Leon Black, Ehud Barak, Tim Geithner, Jes Staley, and Terje Roed-Larsen (EFTA01924982, EFTA01922017).
Epstein and Burns exchanged text messages. In September 2014, Burns texted from his personal phone (EFTA01618288):
"My boss will be away, and I expect to spend most of weekend in WH meetings. Unusually busy time here."
Days later Burns cancelled: "following up President’s ISIL speech." Epstein’s staff scheduled: "3-4pm Bill Burns will join Jeffrey and Peter Thiel / 4-5pm Meeting with Bill Burns alone / JOJO YOU ARE TO TAKE BILL BURNS TO THE AIRPORT" (EFTA02096510).
Epstein told Peter Thiel about Burns: "he conducted the secret iran negotiations, kept them secret for a year" (EFTA00995902). Burns himself told Epstein he was traveling to "Europe to meet with Iranians" and having "breakfast with Kissinger" (EFTA01748726).
After Burns left State, Epstein offered: "Rothschild bank, might make sense. I will set up when you are ready. Ps if you want a car and driver and or boat" (EFTA00999530). In April 2017, Burns met Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani in Mumbai, brokered by Epstein (EFTA01614326).
Burns appeared on Epstein’s “People to See” list alongside Bill Gates, Larry Summers, Leon Black, Peter Thiel, Mort Zuckerman, John Brockman, and Kathy Ruemmler (EFTA00363616). The relationship remained active through April 2019 — three months before Epstein’s arrest — via Terje Roed-Larsen.
A November 2014 email chain between Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and Jeffrey Epstein documents two extraordinary disclosures:
On October 31, 2014 — Burns's last day at the State Department — Epstein invited him to his private Caribbean island:
"I am in the Virgin Islands. My private island/home is between st thomas and st john. -littlest james, big american flag. I will be here all week, come visit, bring whomever you please. I can send car to pick you up at your convenience"
Burns was vacationing in nearby St. John with his wife Lisa. He declined but disclosed why:
"My best laid plans have already shifted; I'll now have to go off to join John Kerry in Oman with the Iranians at the end of this week"
This is the #2 U.S. diplomat disclosing classified Iran nuclear negotiations (which led to the 2015 JCPOA deal) to a registered sex offender. Burns promised a "rain check" on the island visit.
In the same chain, Burns explicitly solicited a business relationship:
"I've agreed to serve as President of the Carnegie Endowment in Washington, beginning in February. They've been generous about allowing me a third of my time for other activities, so I remain very much interested in consulting or advisory arrangements. Hope to get up to NY again in next month, and will be in touch. Thanks again for all your interest and advice."
This was not a casual social contact — Burns was actively seeking financial arrangements with a convicted sex offender while transitioning from the highest levels of U.S. diplomacy. Burns went on to become CIA Director under Biden in 2021.
The Epstein-Teodorani iMessage archive (June–August 2018) reveals a deeply transactional dynamic centered on women:
June 22, 2018 (Paris): Teodorani asks Epstein if he can visit. Epstein replies: “K. Alone or with something cute?”
Teodorani: “Very cute blue eyes”
The dehumanization — “something cute” rather than “someone” — mirrors the language pattern found throughout the network, treating women as objects to be procured and delivered.
June 23, 2018: Teodorani texts Epstein at his Paris apartment (22 Avenue Foch), calling him “master” twice: “Shall I come around 10 if is ok for you master” and “Master is better tomorrow morning because Davina she is not well”
In the same message, Teodorani offers to introduce a woman: “check this girl that I want to introduce you you Pilar Fogliati”
August 5, 2018 (Gstaad): After discussing Steve Bannon’s European plans, Teodorani writes: “I am in Gstaad then Tuscany which I hope you can once interesting pussy than Fl[orence] in Milano interesting pussy as well”
Epstein: “Nice”
The same thread also mentions “with ex First Lady shall pass at yours around 10” and “Shall we invite Carla without husband” — arranging for women, including an unidentified former first lady and a “Carla,” to visit Epstein’s Paris apartment.
From the French Republic prosecution document (EFTA00077200), a third victim's statement about Jean-Luc Brunel:
"[She] drank a cocktail prepared by the defendant, then lost consciousness. The next day, she woke up in a bathrobe and noticed bruises on her thighs and crotch."
A man posing as Prince Albert de Monaco called Brunel while she was in the apartment. This is the third victim in the same French MLAT document to describe being drugged/losing consciousness during encounters with Brunel. The pattern is systematic: Brunel prepared cocktails for models at his Paris apartment, they lost consciousness, and woke with evidence of sexual assault.
In March 2013, Epstein was actively coordinating Bill Gates' TerraPower nuclear reactor negotiations with the Chinese government. In an email to his London-based fixer David Stern (EFTA02721806), Epstein instructed:
"write a full proposal, it is for a nuclear power plant called terra power. it is for safe nuclear energy, bill is supposed to see the premier on april 23, and then the number 2 guy who he says will make the decision."
An unidentified third party had already offered to "organise all the right people quietly" for the project, adding: "No need for HK, its too 'loud' for such sensitive project."
Stern — who ran Asia Gateway (later Witan Group), advising on European investments in China — recognized that Gates had already pitched TerraPower to the previous Chinese government in 2011 and had public meetings with the Premier and "No. 2" scheduled for April. He recommended a different approach: "the full Chinese power system needs to be worked for this."
This was not an isolated incident. Three years earlier, in November 2010, Epstein was brokering nuclear contacts for Nathan Myhrvold (TerraPower's Vice Chairman) from Abu Dhabi (EFTA02414673):
"Im in Abu dhai, sat with an old friend, Lady barbara judge, chairman of the uk atomic energy commission.. I told her what you were doing, she is advisin kazakstan, and others on its nuclear program, anyway feel free to call her [phone] or email"
Lady Barbara Judge was Chairman of the UK Atomic Energy Authority (2004–2010) and later chaired Kazakhstan's Astana Financial Services Authority — a legitimate nuclear regulatory contact that Epstein was networking for TerraPower.
TerraPower — co-founded by Gates (Chairman) and Myhrvold (Vice Chairman) in 2008 — signed a formal agreement with China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) in 2013 to build a prototype 600 MWe traveling-wave reactor. Gates attended the Boao Forum for Asia in April 2013 where he met Xi Jinping. The partnership was formalized in 2015 but ultimately killed by Trump-era technology transfer restrictions in 2019.
The emails demonstrate that Epstein was not merely a social companion to Gates — he was embedded in substantive business operations, coordinating strategy for a sensitive nuclear technology transfer between the US and China, four years after his 2008 sex trafficking conviction.
David Stern, Epstein's international operations chief, served as primary liaison to Prince Andrew and as a front man for acquisitions connected to convicted sex trafficker Jean-Luc Brunel.
On February 22, 2016, Stern texted Epstein from the Wellcome Sanger Institute — the world's premier genome sequencing center in Cambridge, England (EFTA02470145):
"I'm with PA at the Sanger institute in Cambridge the centre for genome sequencing. You would love this shit."
"PA" = Prince Andrew, confirmed by consistent use across documents. A British royal and Epstein's security chief visiting a genetics research center connects to Epstein's eugenics interests.
In December 2015, the same email chain reveals (EFTA00704095):
"Jes told PA to meet in Jan when he's settled in. Should I meet Jes before?"
Stern served as intermediary between Jes Staley and Prince Andrew — coordinated through Epstein. The same chain discusses a China security business: "Kidnappings and blackmail have become a huge problem recently."
Sarah Kellen (convicted co-conspirator) confirmed the relationship in June 2010 (EFTA00735965): "Hear that you and PA and david stern are all in love. Now that makes me have desperate FOMO."
In February 2010, Epstein used Stern to acquire Fashion TV (EFTA00888980):
"contact michel adam.. tell him you represent, an english client wanting to buy fashion tv. you were told to contact him by jean luc brunel."
Brunel was convicted of sex trafficking and died in custody February 2022. Fashion TV is a global modeling network. Stern pursued the deal, obtaining financials from CEO Yaron Jakubowicz — €200 million valuation (EFTA00762263).
Stern also introduced Stefan Krause, former Deutsche Bank CFO, to Epstein (EFTA00717933) and coordinated Prince Andrew's meetings with the Emir of Qatar (EFTA00697949): "ask PA if he will be meeting with tamim from qatar this week?"
Casey Wasserman — president of the LA 2028 Olympic organizing committee and head of the Wasserman talent agency (grandson of Hollywood mogul Lew Wasserman) — maintained an extensive, explicitly flirtatious relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell and flew on every leg of the Clinton Africa trip aboard Epstein's Boeing 727.
A series of emails between Wasserman and Maxwell use language that directly mirrors Epstein's "massage" recruitment pattern:
Casey and wife Laura Wasserman appear on every leg of the Clinton Africa trip manifest — Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, Mozambique, and South Africa — aboard Epstein's Boeing 727 alongside President Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and Doug Band (EFTA00578629).
Maxwell helped Wasserman rent a Malibu house for Epstein: "JE has just asked me to find a house to rent for 2 weeks in Malibu in June" — Wasserman provided his real estate agent Stephen Shapiro (EFTA00580062). A FedEx package from Maxwell to Wasserman was billed to Epstein's account (EFTA00040687).
In February 2026, Wasserman announced the sale of his talent agency amid fallout from the Epstein files release.
A 32-page handwritten diary uses a rail fence cipher to document at least two forced births. The first with Ghislaine Maxwell present: "I saw between her fingers this tiny head and body in the doctors hands. It reached its tiny arm up and had a tiny foot." The victim writes: "I am nothing but your property and incubator!" and describes a eugenics program: "Superior gene pool ?!? Why me?... That feels very Nazi like."
A second birth on April 22nd in Palm Beach is documented in detail. An "elderly French lady" midwife at a house on Ocean Blvd delivered a baby girl (4 lbs 10 oz, 18.5 inches). After only 10-15 minutes, "Mr. M came to take her" while "those horrible girls were in the car waiting." The victim writes: "I am dead inside. Life has no meaning."
On Jean-Luc Brunel: "Jean Luc Brunel is a disgusting pig with bad breath... 6 weeks wasnt even given before being sent back. Punishment for trying to run." The diary also names Mr. Joe and Mrs. Anne at Mar-a-Lago as trafficking locations, and references a doctor "from Israel" and New Mexico.
The diary documents multiple forced pregnancies, medical procedures performed by rotating doctors (including one "from Israel"), and Ghislaine Maxwell's direct involvement in the procedures: "Ghislaine said to push all the pain away" and "she put her hands over my eyes" during delivery.
The victim describes a baby being taken after only "10 to 15 minutes": "I only got 10 to 15 minutes to hold and feed her before they took her. She is mine! I want her back!!!" The diary includes an ultrasound image and references to a stillbirth with the printed clipping "Stillborn" and victim adding "She was born! I heard the tiny cries!"
The diary also references "Maralago" and "Mr. Joe and Mrs. Anne" in connection with trafficking locations, and names Jean-Luc Brunel as an abuser: "Jean Luc Brunel is a disgusting pig with bad breath".
Rodriguez explicitly identifies the power hierarchy: "Leslie Wexner, he was Jeffrey Epstein's boss. He owns a limited Victoria's Secret." He describes Wexner's properties in Colorado, London, Georgia, Columbus and notes Epstein called them "every day... Very powerful people."
On George Mitchell: "Senator George Mitchell, okay, every day he's donated" — suggesting Mitchell was a regular visitor/donor to Epstein.
Most critically, Rodriguez reveals he withheld names from his formal video deposition: "this is the people that I couldn't say in front of the camera" — meaning his official testimony to Brad Edwards was deliberately incomplete. The names he only provided in this secret meeting include Leon Black, Alan Dershowitz, and George Mitchell.
In an FBI interview conducted on July 12, 2019, a witness stated under proffer agreement:
"ZEMPOLI was trying to buy Elite Models with EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN introduced MELANIA TRUMP to DONALD TRUMP."
The witness describes being recruited through Paolo Zempoli, who worked with "ID Models." Epstein was visiting the modeling agency during casting auditions and looking through portfolios, including seeing a photo of the witness "wearing only swim bottoms."
At a dinner at Epstein's 71st Street residence, the witness mentioned she thought there was a lot of Russian prostitution:
"EPSTEIN told her, 'That's what I like best.'"
After dinner, Epstein gave her a tour of the house, took her to the massage room, and assaulted her with a "vibrating thing." The massage room was described as "a small, very dark room on the same floor as the master bedroom."
At dinner at Epstein's 71st Street residence, the witness mentioned Russian prostitution she'd observed during modeling work:
"[She] mentioned that she thought there was a lot of Russian prostitution. EPSTEIN told her, 'That's what I like best.'"
After dinner, Epstein took her to the massage room — described as "a small, very dark room on the same floor as the master bedroom" — and assaulted her with a "vibrating thing." The witness was recruited through Paolo Zampolli, founder of ID Models, who the FBI FD-302 notes "was trying to buy Elite Models with EPSTEIN."
The same interview establishes: "EPSTEIN introduced MELANIA TRUMP to DONALD TRUMP" — through the Zampolli modeling agency connection.
From the French prosecutor's summary of victim statements:
A model introduced herself to the ICARINE modeling agency, where she met Jean-Luc Brunel and agreed to a photo session at his Paris home. During dinner:
"[She] felt that she had been drugged, since she could not explain how she had suddenly, without understanding how, found herself in the room with Jean-Luc BRUNEL. She had not wanted sexual intercourse but had felt powerless in the face of the solicitations and insistence of the respondent, who penetrated her with his sexual organ."
An unidentified man was present in the apartment during the rape but did not participate. The photo session never took place. The victim stated that "Jean-Luc BRUNEL used to bring in girls from the East, particularly young girls."
From the same French prosecution document, a second victim's statement:
"[She] stated that she had met Jeffrey EPSTEIN and his partner Ghislaine MAXWELL at the age of 16, in the south of France near Saint-Tropez. They had made friends and she went to their Parisian apartment on Avenue Foch in 2000."
The victim was then invited to Miami, and later to New York near 5th Avenue for 5 days: "It was during these 5 days that Jeffrey EPSTEIN was touching the girl, who tried in vain to resist him. She remembered in particular that he had penetrated her with a vibrator."
This formal French prosecution document confirms: (1) recruitment of minors near Saint-Tropez, (2) grooming through international travel to Paris and the US, (3) sexual assault using objects, (4) the victim's futile resistance.
The victim who was drugged and raped at Brunel's Paris apartment stated:
"She stated that at the time Jean-Luc BRUNEL used to bring in girls from the East, particularly young girls."
This corroborates the documented Aeroflot pipeline (3,005 EFTA documents), Daniel Siad's scouting in Latvia (EFTA00775255: "she looks younger from Latvia"), and the victim diary entry about Maxwell recruiting "from former eastern countries in Europe." Brunel was found dead in his Paris jail cell on February 19, 2022, in an apparent suicide while awaiting trial for rape and sexual assault.
A forensically verified victim diary (EFTA02731420) describes a DC-centered trafficking ring distinct from the NYC/Palm Beach network. The victim writes:
"They are always flights of horror. Whether its with Jeffrey, Mr. Leonsis, Mr. Case, Mr. Snyder, the Gregorys, Mr. Colgan or one being borrowed by a seemingly 'good' federal worker and even rented, it is all horror."
The individuals named are all Washington DC-area power figures: Ted Leonsis (AOL executive, Washington Capitals/Wizards/Commanders owner), Steve Case (AOL founder), Dan Snyder (Washington Commanders owner), and Jim Kimsey (AOL co-founder, separately described as "deranged" in diary entry EFTA02731420).
A separate diary entry about AOL specifically states: "That company does not protect kids! They use it to find us!" — suggesting AOL's platform may have been used to identify and recruit victims.
All four AOL-connected individuals appear on the same Trilateral Commission membership list (EFTA01082667) alongside Joseph E. Robert Jr. (McLean, VA) — whose mansion was used as a trafficking pipeline location.
Victim attorney Jeanne Christensen (Wigdor LLP) emailed SDNY prosecutors in March 2024 (EFTA02731512) describing a clear trafficking pipeline:
"After this meeting — she then was taken to a McLean VA mansion owned by Joe Robert ('JER' companies) and GM and JE were there. JE gave her the once over and nod of approval — she was sent to PB shortly afterwards for the first time."
The victim had first met Maxwell in a hotel room where she was screened — undressed from the waist down, and Maxwell did "yucky" things. After this initial screening, the victim was taken to Roberts' McLean mansion where Epstein evaluated and approved her before she was sent to Palm Beach.
The forensically verified victim diary independently corroborates this recruitment (EFTA02731420): "Went to a party at this huge house to meet this man named Mr. Robert and his pretty wife Jill. Same exact British lady from Clearwater was there! She talked to me all night. She wants me to come to her house in Florida so I can learn new things!"
The "British lady" is Ghislaine Maxwell. Roberts' wife's name "Jill" matches publicly known records: Joseph E. Robert Jr.'s wife was Jill Sorensen Robert. Roberts was founder of J.E. Robert Companies, a major McLean, VA real estate firm.
A separate diary entry (EFTA02731420) lists Roberts among perpetrators: "Mr. Mody. Mr. Robert. Mr. Sant. Mr. Ludwig. Mr. Cecchi. Mr. Mora. Mr. Goodlatte. Mr. Atkins are not who they say! Run run run!"
Eva Dubin (wife of Glenn Dubin) sent Roberts' contact information directly to Epstein (EFTA02443266, May 27, 2009), further connecting the Dubin family to the trafficking network.
A FedEx shipping record (EFTA01259755) documents a physical envelope sent from John Kerry's DC Senate office (424 C Street NE) to Epstein's Madison Ave office in September 2002 — verified physical correspondence. A victim told the FBI (EFTA01245890) that Epstein, who knew she was in high school, bragged about being "friends with JOHN KERRY and BILL CLINTON" during grooming conversations. Sultan bin Sulayem (Dubai World chairman) asked Epstein to arrange a meeting with Secretary of State Kerry: "I understand that John Kerry is going to visit UAE next week I would love to meet him if its possible" (EFTA01904294). Household staff were shown a photo of "Senator Kerry" connected to Epstein's NY house (EFTA00181472). Epstein advised Terje Rod-Larsen on Kerry's schedule: "I think John Kerry, might be busy for awhile. they will turn to Bill Burns" (EFTA00964817).
Victim master allegations document: After abuse, Epstein told victim to come back "with her 14-, 15- and 16-year-old girlfriends." He said: "I love girls your age" and "I love how young you are. You have a tight butt like a baby."
Epstein also told her: "I would love for you to come with me to Thailand to pick up other girls your age" — and even "took preliminary steps" to take her there. This document also names victims Epstein was directed to have sex with, including: Prince Andrew (3 times), Glen Dubin, Bill Richardson, George Mitchell, Marvin Minsky, Jean-Luc Brunel, and Alan Dershowitz (at least 6 times, aged 16-19).
Philip Levine to Ghislaine: Responds "Beauty and the beast..." to Maxwell's photo attachment (EFTA00578702, Dec 2002)
The phrase "what character would you like next" implies a MENU of women identified by Disney character code names that could be selected. "One side is available" suggests one of the two characters (Beauty or Beast) is a specific person who can be sent. This is corroborated by:
The victim diary also confirms Staley physically abused victims ("left bloody marks on my arms from his belt"). Multiple victims independently described Epstein's library as looking like "the library from Beauty and the Beast" in FBI interviews (EFTA00096196, EFTA01246975, EFTA02731039) — the fairy tale world was a deliberate aesthetic.
In a February 2012 email, Epstein asks Jean-Luc Brunel about a woman named Svetlana Zhuravleva: "do you know her". Brunel responds: "Yes I brought her for showrooms." Brunel, who died in custody in 2022, ran MC2 modeling agency and was charged with sex trafficking.
Email correspondence from June-July 2009 between Epstein and Russian model Svetlana Pozhidaeva (email in Cyrillic: Светлана Пожидаева) directly references Brunel's MC2 agency: "before MC2 had told me 3 weeks, but its been more than a month already and no news..." She travels between Milan, Moscow, and the US, and writes: "you are one of the most important people in my life." Her Russian passport separately appears in Deutsche Bank grand jury subpoena material.
October 2011 email to Epstein: "it was 2 interesting girls but when i asked age, mm... 17yo all the girls from contest were the way too young this year. I fly to Russia to change the passports tomorrow till tuesday." Another email: "i am on Elite Model look France now ;)) so many cute girls". Epstein received regular reports from Elite Model Look competitions.
Sofia Hellqvist (now Princess Sofia of Sweden) was listed as Jeffrey Epstein's date/companion at a December 9, 2012 private screening of Les Misérables organized by Peggy Siegal:
"2c Mr. Jeffrey Epstein ( Sophia Hellqvist )"
The guest list included Katie Couric, Glenn Close, Claire Danes, Barry Diller, Harvey Weinstein, and ~140 others. "2c" means two confirmed. This was four years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, and while Hellqvist was already dating Prince Carl Philip of Sweden.
Hellqvist was introduced to Epstein through her mentor Barbro Ehnbom, who ran the "Best & Brightest" (BBB) network. Ehnbom referred to Hellqvist as "our friend Sofia" in emails to Epstein (EFTA02431162) and regularly shared her photos: "Here is a photo of our Sofia — you remember — i.e. soon Princess Sofia...the whole Swedish press is looking for her" (EFTA00775965).
Marcus Forss (Ehnbom's son) confirmed in June 2010: "Sofia Hellqvist (who I think you have met) who is dating the swedish prince here" (EFTA02411543). According to news reports, Ehnbom also sent bikini photos of Hellqvist to Epstein and invited her to Little Saint James, which she declined.
Joshua Fink emailed Jean-Luc Brunel directly about MC2 model agency finances: "Dear Jean Luc, I am not sure if you received the email I sent on Tuesday. By chance yesterday I received an invoice from MC2 in the mail. I would love to clarify a point or two with you as I do not believe I have a full understanding of things at the moment." — showing the son of BlackRock's CEO had direct financial dealings with Brunel's convicted trafficking operation.
This directly connects Scoop Models (Danish modeling agency) to the Epstein/Brunel trafficking pipeline. The phrase "looks younger" is consistent with documented recruiting patterns.
"I need to find enough models and hostess from different countries... I have to pay for the license and residence permit half of the scouting fees so I have enough to pay the tickets for girls coming to Dubai."
Siad describes having "almost 25 models" already and scouting "in different parts of Europe" all summer. This documents international trafficking infrastructure funded by Epstein.
Email from Jean-Luc Brunel to Epstein about a Russian model named "Lana" in Paris: "A girl called Lana from Russia is in Paris with her rich boyfriend... She speaks wit Ruth who asked her if she went out with friend of mine in NY. Answer No .you are crazy, he is too old for me"
This shows Brunel actively tracking young models and reporting back to Epstein about those who resisted.
Email from Annabelle Neilson (British socialite, Alexander McQueen's muse, Ladies of London cast member) to Epstein:
"So I am putting a little group of girls together. Hopefully one of them will have all the right qualities you desire... a few of my girls, who would be perfect for the job but are unfortunately past their sell by date"
The email explicitly describes recruiting women for Epstein, noting some candidates are "past their sell by date" - indicating awareness of his age preferences. Neilson signs off with "Lot's of love" (same distinctive spelling appears in other emails from her). She died in 2018.
Email explicitly describes women being selected for sexual/romantic purposes:
"She would not be your assistant but rather a gorgeous date"
This shows the true nature of the "Best & Brightest" network - providing attractive young women as "dates" for Epstein, not legitimate employment.
Direct email from Jeffrey Epstein while in Paris:
"im in paris until the 26ht, find cute girls in la?"
This email shows Epstein directly instructing someone to recruit "cute girls" in Los Angeles while he was traveling in Paris.
Email to Epstein from Moscow describing recruitment opportunity:
"Here in Moscow there are so so so many cute girls. Sex everywhere. I went to a sex shop today and bought a whip."
The sender then asks Epstein: "Are you going to be more cooperative next time and e.g. say yes when I ask you whether three cute girls and me can come to the party?"
This shows an associate actively scouting women in Moscow for Epstein and requesting permission to bring them to his events.
Stephen Kosslyn, Harvard and Stanford psychologist, is explicitly named in court filings (EFTA00653926) as a person the victim was "directed to have sex with friends of Ms Maxwell and Mr Epstein, including Glenn Dubin, Les Wexner, Ehud Barak, former Senator George Mitchell and Stephen Kosslyn." With 1,926 documents in the corpus — one of the highest counts for any academic — Kosslyn had an extraordinarily deep relationship with Epstein. He was scheduled for "a full day of 'visitation, with contact'" alongside Jean-Luc Brunel (later convicted of sex trafficking): "jean luc, and steve kosslyn and his wife are already scheduled. I would like to bring jenn down to help" (EFTA00771641). Epstein provided Kosslyn an apartment — Kosslyn wrote: "Greetings from apt [number] (and thank you for that!)" (EFTA00755657).
Multiple emails document Epstein's office wiring money to Sberbank (Russian state-owned bank) accounts for unnamed women. Bella Klein (Epstein's assistant) coordinated these transfers:
These documents show a systematic pattern of wire transfers from Epstein's New York accounts to Russian bank accounts for women whose identities are redacted. Combined with the 3,005 documents referencing the "Aeroflot pipeline" of Russian women, these financial records corroborate a trafficking financing operation.
In December 2012, Epstein's pilot Larry Visoski researched UK immigration rules to transit a Russian woman through London Stansted Airport without a UK visa. The subject line reads simply: "UK Visa Russian."
Visoski confirmed with Universal Aviation handlers: "If you arrive in a Private Jet into Stansted from Paris with Mi[redacted] and she possess a US Visa, she is allowed to enter UK and transfer from the Falcon to the Boeing, as long as we are departing to US soil."
A separate email the same week confirmed the private jet route was specifically chosen to avoid immigration: "if he was to travel via train then taxi he would need a UK visa to enter the country." The woman's email address was Milvacation@gmail.com.
Lesley Groff coordinated the logistics: "JE mentioned he may use the Boeing on Dec 7th London to NY. He told me he would Paris to London, Stansted UK to meet the Boeing there with [redacted]. I did some work since [she] has no UK visa, where she can enter UK and make transfer to Boeing."
On December 6, a Chapman Freeborn charter (Citation Jet F-GXRK) was booked from Paris Le Bourget to Stansted for 2 passengers, arriving at the Aero Toy Store FBO where Epstein's Boeing 727 (N908JE) was hangared. Darren Indyke booked a room at the Radisson Blue Hotel Stansted for the overnight.
This reveals a deliberate operation to move a Russian national through UK airspace without immigration scrutiny by exploiting a private aviation transit loophole.
In a June 2015 email (EFTA00854969), Peter Attia shared Epstein's lab results (testosterone: 121, HDL: 24 — both critically low) and drew a remarkable comparison:
"I was thinking about it after I left...we have something in common (besides our appreciation for O-visas!): People come to you for a low fanfare, below the radar desire to compound their wealth. People do the same with me for their health."
O-1 visas are for "individuals with extraordinary ability." Epstein's network used O-1 and other visa categories to bring foreign women (primarily Eastern European) into the United States — a documented part of the trafficking pipeline. Attia's casual, parenthetical reference to a shared "appreciation for O-visas" suggests awareness of this visa usage. Attia also introduced practitioners into Epstein's townhouse: Jesse Schwartzman (Fit4ward) for a gym assessment (EFTA00459879), and his office director Mary Stephens stayed at Epstein's apartment (EFTA00331325). Attia functioned as Epstein's primary physician, prescribing a full drug regimen and consulting with "lipid gurus" about Epstein's case (EFTA00853059).
An email from Barbro Ehnbom to Epstein (EFTA00968090) reveals she screened candidates on physical attributes and was explicitly aware of Epstein's age preference:
"I have not at all forgotten your assistant need...when is Sara leaving? Would you like to have a Swedish girl in that position? I thought Alex would have been great, she is in top physical shape, has two masters, big heart and has had a staff of 24 at the top restaurant she worked at here...I think she can get her papers in order now....so she'd be tops I think but you rather have younger... Search goes on!"
This email is significant because it shows: (1) Ehnbom vetting women based on physical appearance ("top physical shape") alongside academic credentials; (2) Epstein explicitly rejecting a qualified candidate because she wasn't young enough; (3) Ehnbom continuing to search despite the rejection, indicating a pattern of compliance with Epstein's age preferences.
The same email also mentions bringing "our new beautiful Female Economist" and organizing a BBB gathering at Epstein's townhouse. Ehnbom then pivots to requesting $15,000 from Epstein to cover a BBB deficit at Stockholm School of Economics — showing the financial dependency that drove the pipeline.
Barbro Ehnbom's son Marcus Forss was directly involved in recruiting women for Epstein. An email thread with subject line "JE girl?" (Jeffrey Epstein girl) shows the family-run nature of the pipeline:
Ehnbom to Forss: "CAN YOU FIX?"
Forss to Ehnbom: "She is interested!!!"
Ehnbom to Epstein: "skypename below and her e-mail address is [redacted]..sounds just right!" (EFTA01900109)
The term "JE girl" — used as shorthand between mother and son — shows the recruitment operation was normalized within the Ehnbom family. Forss also confirmed Epstein's relationship with Sofia Hellqvist (EFTA02411543) and sent Epstein updates from Sweden.
In a separate thread, BBB member Emma Marthans introduced herself directly to Epstein as a candidate for his "assistant" position: "I'm Emma Marthans, one of Barbro's Best and Brightest. According to Barbro you are a highly appreciated friend of this fantastic network that Barbro is providing 'her' girls with." (EFTA01904224)
A January 5-12, 2021 email chain between SDNY prosecutors and the DOJ Attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Paris (EFTA00021720) documents extensive coordination on the Brunel case after his arrest at Charles de Gaulle airport on December 16, 2020.
Key revelations from the DOJ Attaché's readout:
The memo also reveals SDNY "gathered a large number of photographs, including photos that feature Brunel" from searches of Epstein's Manhattan townhouse (July 6-7, 2019) and Little St. James (August 12, 2019). An MLAT (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty) request was being drafted.
Ramsey Elkholy operated as a serial procurer of Czech women for Epstein across a documented seven-year span (January 2011 to February 2018), continuing well after Epstein's 2008 conviction and up to 18 months before his July 2019 arrest.
January 2011: Elkholy emailed Epstein with 4 attached photos (EFTA01805095):
"this is [REDACTED] an 18 yr old Czech girl, 5'11..."
The same thread reveals Elkholy was 'managing' a woman named Regina who had a dangerous boyfriend. Epstein commented "hes dangerous" and suggested "maybe your russian girl can help, the one who showed regina around that day." Epstein also offered "vera wang" for one of the women — designer gifts as grooming tools.
February 2015: Elkholy sent Epstein a link to a Czech modeling/casting agency (EFTA01793493):
Subject: kale (czech)
http://www.dfc.cz/zeny/kate-cast/fotky
The URL points to the photo gallery of a woman on a Czech casting site. Elkholy was actively scouting Czech agencies for Epstein.
February 2018: Still at it, just 18 months before Epstein's arrest (EFTA02521106):
"6 ft Czech model you should meet, if you're around."
Epstein replied: "ck thurs, name? how are you?" — confirming his interest and requesting the woman's identity.
Combined with the "love slave" email (June 2011, Dutch model) and victim court filings alleging Epstein "transported minor girls from Turkey, the Czech Republic, Asia, and numerous other countries, many of whom spoke no English" (EFTA00210921), this establishes Elkholy as a persistent procurement channel for Epstein targeting Czech women specifically.
In October 2009, while Epstein was on work-release from his Florida jail sentence, Nadia Marcinkova (nadja2102@yahoo.com) actively screened a Czech woman for him.
Marcinkova emailed Epstein at his 'JE Jail' address (EFTA00771554):
Subject: czech
Attachment: katka.jpg
'Katka' is a Czech diminutive for Katerina/Katarina. Marcinkova sent a photo of this woman with no additional text.
Epstein replied (EFTA01819200):
"not enough info"
Marcinkova responded (EFTA02438462):
"I will skype with her today or tomorrow to get a better idea."
This is an active procurement screening operation conducted during Epstein's incarceration. A photo was sent, Epstein demanded more vetting, and Marcinkova agreed to personally interview the Czech woman via Skype. The 'JE Jail' email alias confirms this was during his sentence.
Six months later (April 2010), Epstein sent Marcinkova an email referencing a 'Czech ride' (EFTA01813296):
"it was the night before czech ride and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a m[ouse]"
This playful Christmas parody suggests a planned trip to the Czech Republic with Marcinkova — consistent with her Czech/Slovak background (she was originally from Slovakia).
An unidentified female sender (name redacted across all dataset versions) repeatedly offered Czech women to Epstein from 2013 to 2015. She describes herself as Czech ('I hope I'm still # Czech number 1') and considers herself in competition with Zlata Rybarova for Epstein's attention.
February 2013: The sender offers to bring a Czech friend to NYC (EFTA00953089):
"Will you be in NY next weekend? I'm coming to visit my czech friend there fri, sat, sun :)"
Epstein asked: "is she the crazy one" — the sender reassured: "she is not crazy :) she is just wild lol" — Epstein replied: "photo?"
March 2013: Epstein forwarded her request to his assistant Lesley Groff (EFTA00956524):
"ok, les do we have an apt for her"
An apartment was arranged with a doorman and welcome instructions. Groff's involvement in arranging housing for women offered to Epstein is consistent with her documented role as operational co-conspirator.
April 2013: After Epstein met Zlata Rybarova, the sender wrote (EFTA00628068):
"i hope zlata was cool ;) oh well I hope I'm still # Czech number 1"
October 2013: The most damning exchange. Epstein rejected a woman as "too old." The sender responded (EFTA00675519):
"Is she too old for you?? Lol Well I will hunt my other Czech friends"
Epstein's rejection based solely on age, and the sender's immediate offer to find younger replacements, is consistent with the broader pattern of age-based procurement documented throughout the EFTA corpus.
November 2015: Still sending photos two years later (EFTA00697978):
"Czech friend of mine a lots of fun :)"
Attached: IMG_1210.JPG
Lesley Groff emailed Sultan bin Sulayem (Chairman of Dubai World, DP World): "Can you please provide an address for me to send you the '23 and Me' DNA kit?" Sultan replied with his name spelling. The same email chain shows Sultan had met with Epstein at 9 East 71st Street. Deutsche Bank records show a $6,200 wire transfer from Epstein to Sultan (July 2017), and emails show Sultan visited Epstein in Paris, NYC, and the island.
Crown Princess Mette-Marit (wife of Crown Prince Haakon, heir to the Norwegian throne) exchanged 837 direct emails with Epstein from 2011 to at least 2013 — making her one of the TOP CORRESPONDENTS in the entire corpus. All correspondence is POST-CONVICTION (Epstein's 2008 sex offender conviction). The relationship was deeply personal:
EUGENICS: "Soon people won't be able to make new humans anymore... We can just design them in a lab" (EFTA00947189, Nov 2012) — echoes Epstein's forced pregnancy program and "superior gene pool" ideology
Boris Nikolic — Bill Gates' science advisor, named successor executor in Epstein's will — served as a critical bridge between Epstein and the US defense/intelligence community.
In July 2011, Epstein proposed connecting DARPA Director Regina Dugan with the Israeli Defense Minister (likely Ehud Barak) through Nikolic (EFTA00915900):
"I don't know if regina-darpa is in ny sat, the israeli defense minister will be with me, she might like to see him, he is super well informed"
Earlier, in November 2010, Epstein had asked Nikolic to recruit the DARPA director for a meeting (EFTA00776946): "lets see if we can arrange the DARPA lady, ask her is she comes to New York." When Dugan left DARPA for Google in March 2012, both Epstein and Nikolic tracked the transition closely (EFTA00930951): Epstein commented "you and i both suspect a problem."
Most disturbing is a November 2011 exchange connecting Nikolic to Epstein's eugenics interests (EFTA00656705). After a DARPA meeting, Nikolic asked about a woman named "Mette":
Epstein: "mette is a mess"
Nikolic: "What happened with Mette now?? She wants to carry your kid? ;)"
This "joke" connects directly to Epstein's documented eugenics program — victim diaries describe being called an "incubator" and references to "superior gene pool." In April 2012, Nikolic coordinated Mette's travel between Oslo, Paris, and the Met Ball Gala (EFTA00660058).
Nikolic also helped Epstein raise investment capital, with Epstein recruiting limited partners for Nikolic's fund (EFTA00689470): Epstein reported "dick merkin says he is in for ten" and Nikolic replied "THIS IS GREAT!"
In a November 2021 FBI report (EFTA00128843), a Confidential Human Source (CHS) reported to the FBI San Francisco field office about Nikolic's Biomatics Capital investments and pursuit of DARPA funding for an AI company — noting he was "designated a executor of Jeffrey Epstein's estate."
Three copies of a wire memorandum (EFTA01404004, EFTA01360536, EFTA01360528) document that on March 16, 2015, Darren Indyke authorized a $1,000,000 wire from Southern Trust Company account 9244 to Bank Leumi LeIsrael, Branch 771, Shaul Hamelech Boulevard, Tel Aviv (SWIFT: LUMIILITTLV).
The beneficiary was ERGO Ltd. with reference line: "Reporty Investment" — directly funding the Epstein-Barak surveillance company later rebranded as Carbyne.
Carbyne was founded by Unit 8200 alumni (Israel's signals intelligence unit). In November 2025, Axon acquired Carbyne for $625 million. Axon provides body cameras and technology to over 18,000 US law enforcement agencies. Epstein-seeded surveillance technology now sits inside the backbone of American policing infrastructure.
In November 2016, shortly after Trump's election, emails between Michael Wolff (author of Fire and Fury) and Jeffrey Epstein reveal Epstein brokering meetings with an unnamed person who employs professional intelligence tradecraft:
"He is not so much shy, as paranoid. I have to contact him through his wife on a burner phone, which they don't reliably check." — Wolff to Epstein (EFTA01060431)
"Have left words on the burner phone. (When I go to his house in Garrison, he sends the driver but I always have to be waiting at a different location — spy tradecraft!)" — Wolff (EFTA01060472)
Epstein responds: "im happy to go to him. if he is shy" and in the same thread: "wed and fri and yes, I've set you up to see the right hand of the Dep Cr Prince" — likely referring to Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The unnamed contact lives in Garrison, NY (Hudson Valley), uses a burner phone reached through his wife, sends a driver, and requires Wolff to wait at different pickup locations each time. This demonstrates Epstein facilitating connections between a journalist and someone with intelligence-level operational security, while simultaneously brokering access to Saudi royalty.
An internal email chain about Apple TV installation across Epstein's building at 301 E 66th St reveals that apartment 11J was explicitly labeled "Ehud-One Bedroom" — a dedicated apartment for former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak within Epstein's property. Lesley Groff wrote: "I will need to coordinate with Ehud...they have an alarm system and we must tell his security detail."
The email also reveals that Nili Priell, Barak's chief of staff, managed access to the apartment: "It may be good to do while Nili is there so you can give her a demonstration of how Apple TV works." A separate email confirms Jes Staley's assistant coordinated a dinner between Staley, Epstein, and Barak at Epstein's residence (June 2013).
The apartment list reveals multiple guest apartments in the building controlled by Epstein (3J, 7J, 8A, 8H, 10B, 10N, 11J, 11P), suggesting an extensive property operation. That a former Israeli PM maintained a permanent apartment — with Israeli security detail and alarm system — in a building controlled by a convicted sex offender raises serious questions about the depth of the Epstein-Barak relationship.
Sergey Belyakov, former Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia and Barclays Capital Russia executive, served as Epstein's key channel to Russian political and financial elites.
In July 2014 — during the height of international sanctions over Russia's annexation of Crimea — Belyakov confirmed a meeting between Epstein and Alexei Simanovsky, deputy head of the Russian Central Bank, described as the "sanctions guy for Putin" (EFTA00993417). A convicted sex offender meeting with Russia's sanctions architect during an international crisis raises serious intelligence concerns.
Epstein brokered introductions from Belyakov to Silicon Valley billionaires for Moscow's Open Innovation Forum:
Belyakov offered to "cover all the related expenses" of Epstein's deportation from Russia (EFTA00306033) — indicating Epstein had actually been detained or expelled. Separately, Belyakov emailed Epstein about a "Russian girl" attempting to blackmail businessmen in New York.
The FBI specifically analyzed "Belyakov-Epstein document" via their Sentinel database (EFTA01731011), indicating this relationship was flagged for intelligence or counterintelligence review. Belyakov also connected his associate Nick Kovarsky — who had "met with Peter Thiel with the help of you" — to cybersecurity expert Vincenzo Iozzo via Epstein for discussions of "black and white hat hackers" (EFTA00657903).
When DAG Todd Blanche asked Maxwell directly: "Have you ever had any contact with an individual that you understand to be from Mossad?" Maxwell answered: "Not deliberately."
This answer is unique across the entire ~7 hours of proffer testimony. On every other topic — recruitment, blackmail, surveillance, abuse, specific individuals — Maxwell gave categorical denials: "Never," "Absolutely not," "No way." On Mossad, she gave a qualified non-denial that implies inadvertent or passive contact with Israeli intelligence.
When asked if Epstein received money from intelligence agencies including Mossad, she said: "Well, I don't believe so, but I wouldn't know. I mean, I would be very surprised if he did." — again hedging rather than categorically denying.
This is consistent with: her father Robert Maxwell's documented ties to Israeli intelligence; Epstein's second valid US passport maintained 2005-2019; message pad references to a "Second Israeli Passport"; and the FBI CHS report that Dershowitz told Acosta "Epstein belonged to both U.S. and allied intelligence services."
Shaher Abdulhak, a Yemeni billionaire and patriarch of the Hayel Saeed Anam Group, maintained an extensive email relationship with Epstein spanning 2011 to April 2019 (540+ documents). They addressed each other as "cousin brother."
Abdulhak's son Farouk Abdulhak is wanted by UK Metropolitan Police for the 2008 murder of Martine Vik Magnussen, a 23-year-old Norwegian student killed in London. Farouk fled to Yemen immediately after the murder; Yemen's constitution forbids extradition.
Epstein served as strategic advisor on the case:
EFTA01188336: A Burton Copeland attendance note (Feb 2013) documents a meeting between Abdulhak's lawyers and Metropolitan Police (DS Wadsworth, DCI Partridge), revealing arrest warrants, Interpol Red Notices, and that the UK Home Office formally requested extradition. Abdulhak hired Bell Pottinger for PR in Norway.
Epstein also brokered Yemen peace diplomacy through Abdulhak, facilitating meetings with Washington figures (EFTA00658903), and offered to help navigate US banking KYC rules for Abdulhak (EFTA00860653).
December 2016: "Please book round trip for Karyna to Minsk: Depart Friday Dec. 16th from JFK Aeroflot #101 connect in Moscow #1830 arrive Minsk Sat. 17th". Business class ticket cost $9,100. Regular travel between NY and Belarus.
Email exchange between Epstein and Bondevik reveals the former Norwegian PM had previously approached Epstein for funding:
"All things considered, we have come to the conclusion that we will try to get the necessary funding for the Oslocenter without applying to you this year."
This communication, from Bondevik as President of The Oslo Center for Peace and Human Rights, indicates a prior funding relationship or negotiations with Epstein. The statement that they would try to fund the center "without applying to you this year" implies they had applied to Epstein previously or had been in funding discussions.
Seckel ran a $40,000+ SEO and reputation management campaign to scrub Epstein's online presence. The campaign included: Wikipedia manipulation — replacing Epstein's mugshot, removing "convicted sex offender" from his page (EFTA00900929); creating fake Jeffrey Epstein profiles to dilute search results; Epstein bragged "stuff mysteriously disappears from searches...isnt technology fun"; a "cyber war" waged against a Daily Beast journalist investigating Epstein; and Epstein proposed "use the twenty or so scientists that i have funded...as web page hits" (EFTA00778299) — using his scientist network as SEO props. Seckel was separately the subject of a $543,000 fraud lawsuit, establishing his background as a con artist. He died in 2015 falling from a cliff in La Turbie, France, under disputed circumstances.
Kosslyn functioned as an intellectual organizer for Epstein, authoring an "Impact Networks" proposal (EFTA00589238) and organizing a "Behavioral Science Summit" at Stanford (EFTA00413098). He was a regular at dinners with Woody Allen and Soon-Yi at Epstein's townhouse (EFTA00307015, EFTA00434537). Epstein introduced him as "head of psychology at Harvard and Stanford" alongside the Sultan of Dubai and Katherine Keating (daughter of the Australian PM) at dinners and visits to Vera Wang's apartment (EFTA00530239). His schedule overlapped with Terje Roed Larsen, Jes Staley, Jagland, Ehud Barak, and Leon Black. Kosslyn later became founding dean of Minerva University, funded by Ben Nelson — who was introduced to Epstein through Kosslyn. Kosslyn's attorney Ian Feinberg had a conference call with Epstein (EFTA00404196), suggesting legal coordination.
Edmond de Rothschild (Suisse) SA in Geneva served as a banking partner for Epstein's Southern Trust Company, with 1,539 documents referencing the relationship.
EFTA00027019 (Deutsche Bank subpoena exhibit) documents a wire from Southern Trust Company to Edmond de Rothschild (Suisse) SA Geneva.
EFTA00383585 shows Olivier Colom, an Edmond de Rothschild banker, in direct email communication with Epstein discussing meetings with "Ehud" (likely Ehud Barak) and "Joshua." The email carries the standard Edmond de Rothschild confidentiality footer.
The Swiss banking connection adds another layer to Epstein's international financial infrastructure: funds moved from Southern Trust Company (USVI) → Deutsche Bank (NY) → Edmond de Rothschild (Geneva), creating a three-jurisdiction layering structure typical of sophisticated money laundering. Olivier Colom's role as both banker and social coordinator (arranging meetings with Ehud Barak) mirrors the pattern seen with other Epstein associates who served dual financial/social functions.
March 15, 2018: Børge Brende, President of the World Economic Forum, attended a dinner at Epstein’s New York townhouse. Brende texted Epstein the following day:
“Dear Jeff: thx for a very interesting dinner on Thursday. Food for thought. You’re a brilliant host. Warmly, Borge (back in Geneva)”
Epstein replied: “both Bannon Leon and I were very impressed with you”
This places four men at the same dinner table: Jeffrey Epstein (convicted sex offender), Steve Bannon (Trump’s former chief strategist), Leon Black (Apollo founder, under SDNY investigation for sex trafficking), and Børge Brende (head of the world’s most prestigious international forum).
The iMessage archive reveals a sustained relationship:
This exchange reveals Epstein as a geopolitical broker connecting the populist right (Bannon) with the globalist establishment (WEF), while simultaneously advising on Gulf royal financial architecture — all while a convicted sex offender barred from most legitimate institutions.
Peter Attia, M.D. — longevity physician, NuSI (Nutrition Science Initiative) president, popular podcaster and author of Outlive — served as Jeffrey Epstein's personal doctor from 2015 through at least December 2018, appearing in 1,692 documents.
Epstein's contact card for Attia explicitly states: “Eva Andersson made the intro to Jeffrey” (EFTA00309099). Eva Andersson-Dubin — wife of hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin — was herself named as a trustee of Epstein's 2017 Trust. This places Attia's introduction to Epstein squarely within the inner circle.
Attia arranged blood draws at Epstein's 9 East 71st Street townhouse through his nurse Nakema Autry:
Attia made a multi-day visit to Zorro Ranch (Epstein's New Mexico compound): “TBD Peter Attia at the ranch Aug. 17-20” (EFTA00285038). Epstein asked Attia: “When are you in NM? Do you have a 'formal' plan for when you want certain folks there?” — suggesting Attia helped organize health/science gatherings at the ranch (EFTA00851428).
Sept 28, 2015: Attia attended an “IMPORTANT Dinner Party” at the townhouse. Guest list: Ehud Barak, Nili, Terje Roed-Larsen + family, Fabrice, President of Mongolia, Mongolian FM, Peter Attia, Kathy Ruemmler, Jeffrey (EFTA00338727). Epstein corrected headcount from 8 to “12 people.”
When Attia couldn't see Epstein during a Jan 2016 NYC visit (while staying at Epstein's apartment), he wrote to Lesley Groff: “I go into JE withdrawal when I don't see him” (EFTA00330601).
In July 2015, Epstein told Attia: “you would love to be a fly on the wall as I go to Africa today tomorrow, for my finance for dummy dictators.. its quite amusing” — then invited Attia to bring a friend to his townhouse (EFTA00852135).
Epstein's stream-of-consciousness notes (EFTA00645002) list “nutrition attia” alongside “34 girls wexner”, “leon plane”, “dershowitz”, “glenn”, and “jarecki.” The juxtaposition of Attia's services with “34 girls” linked to Wexner is striking.
In December 2018 — months before Epstein's arrest — Attia asked: “Legally any change?” Epstein replied: “zero” (EFTA01014453).
Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak brokered a $1.7M investment by Epstein in Reporty Homeland Security Ltd. (later rebranded Carbyne), an Israeli emergency response tech company.
EFTA00626805 (Jan 28, 2015): Barak forwarded the term sheet directly to Epstein, CC'ing Darren Indyke and Nicole Junkermann: “That's the best we could get at this stage. Pl let me know if you have any reservations.”
EFTA00822267 (Aug 3, 2016): Indyke's privileged legal memo details the final terms: $1.02M first tranche (27.3% of shares) + $680K second tranche (38.5% total). Liquidation preference: 3.5x purchase price.
A convicted sex offender held a 38.5% controlling stake in an Israeli homeland security company, brokered by a former head of state who was acting as Epstein's agent.
A documented email chain traces a $40,000 political donation from Epstein to former Israeli PM Ehud Barak's political entity:
March 6, 2017: Nili Priell Barak (Barak's wife) emails Epstein with transfer information for "Achrayut Leumit" (Hebrew: "National Responsibility"), signing as "EB" — Ehud Barak's initials. She writes: "That's the price of having, finally, a Jewish State." (EFTA02350723)
March 12, 2017: Epstein replies: "name on the account? I was going to wait until i saw ehud in paris." — naming Barak explicitly. Nili provides full banking details: Bank Leumi Le Israel, Branch 666, 2 Shoham Street, Ramat Gan. (EFTA02657336, EFTA02657848)
March 12-13, 2017: Epstein forwards the entire chain to Richard Kahn. Kahn replies: "please advise on amount to send" (EFTA02386927)
March 16, 2017: HBRK Associates wires $40,000 to Achrayut Leumit Ltd. at Bank Leumi (EFTA01297175)
Deutsche Bank Compliance Failure: AML investigator Danya Friedman flagged the wire (Case 141374) and asked relationship manager Stewart Oldfield three questions about purpose, relationship, and business activities (EFTA01363138). Oldfield missed the deadline. Compliance sent an "URGENT — SECOND REQUEST." Kahn's eventual answers via assistant Cynthia Rodriguez: Purpose: "Contributions for public policy organization in Israel". Relationship: "Friend." Case closed. No escalation.
On March 15, 2019, Deutsche Bank relationship manager Stewart Oldfield proactively offered to write a reference letter for Epstein's account: "Happy to provide a letter as we discussed for the bank that received funds from your DB account for the investment you made." (EFTA01426608)
On March 18, 2019, Oldfield produced a formal letter on Deutsche Bank letterhead addressed to Bank Leumi Le Israel Ltd., Pinkas 48, Tel-Aviv, vouching for Southern Trust Company as "an account holder at Deutsche Bank since 2013" with no known problems (EFTA01416824).
This letter was written three months after Deutsche Bank had decided to terminate Epstein as a client. The bank was closing Epstein's accounts while its own relationship manager wrote a reference letter to help Epstein's money move to an Israeli bank. Darren Indyke requested the letter: "Great if you can provide me with that letter today addressed to Bank Leumi." (EFTA01426547)
Mark Steward, Executive Director of Enforcement at the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), sent a 'Confidential & Urgent' request to SDNY prosecutors on November 28, 2019:
'Can you let me know, urgently, whether anyone in your office is handling the investigation into Jeffery Epstein, especially anything in relation to JP Morgan (he was a client of their private wealth division) and, if so, who, as we need to have a chat.' — EFTA00018110
At least 9 copies of this email chain exist in the corpus, showing wide circulation within DOJ. The FCA's urgency likely relates to Jes Staley's tenure as Barclays CEO — Staley was running one of the UK's largest banks while under investigation for his Epstein relationship. The FCA ultimately banned Staley from UK banking for life in 2024.
A separate document (EFTA00019889) is a letter to the UK Treasury Select Committee describing 'The Jeffrey Epstein & Jes Staley Blackmail Ring' and alleging 'the FBI, FCA and the PRA all investigating Jes Staley's conduct while working at JP Morgan.'
In a May 2012 email (EFTA00702069), Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell:
"hamad bin jassim (Qatar) has offered 225. I said no..."
Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani — then Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar — offered $225 million for Epstein's 71st Street townhouse. According to Michael Wolff's profile (EFTA00307947), HBJ lived across the street in a "similarly furnished house" — they shared the same decorator.
Maxwell's reply in the same chain indicated she was simultaneously dining with Russia's finance minister — illustrating how Epstein's network simultaneously operated across competing geopolitical spheres.
Ariane de Rothschild (CEO, Edmond de Rothschild Group) maintained a direct, intimate personal relationship with Epstein spanning at least October 2014 through March 2018 — years after his 2008 conviction. Emails reveal Epstein functioning as her personal confidant, enforcer in European banking disputes, and wellness advisor.
On December 18, 2015, Ariane emailed Epstein reporting on her husband Benjamin de Rothschild's plans and seeking counsel (EFTA01744418):
"I'm in Paris, on my way to GVA [Geneva]. B is leaving by car to hunt — although he was told that Kathy was coming. He said he would be back Sunday morning. Real risk he will find an excuse to not show up. What do u think?"
Epstein's calendar (EFTA00338290) shows: "Reminder: Ariane de Rothschild to arrive NY today" on October 14, 2015. The surrounding schedule for that week included meetings with Leon Black, Kathryn Ruemmler, Woody Allen, Ehud Barak, Noam Chomsky, Martin Nowak, and David Gelernter.
In September 2016, Ariane casually referenced Epstein's island (EFTA00638695): "Hi Jeff, i good that you are Ok and had been on the island"
In March 2018, Ariane asked Epstein to intervene in a high-level European banking matter (EFTA00848844). A Swiss banker named "Boris" was claiming to be in acquisition talks with her bank:
"Our star swiss banker Boris is going around town boasting that he was in discussions with me to buy the bank. Would be good to tell him that he's out of line, unprofessional and only adds more enemies to those he already has..."
Epstein replied: "I will of course if you wish" — positioning himself as an enforcer who could discipline senior European bankers on behalf of the Rothschild Group CEO.
When Ariane shared health concerns in June 2016 (EFTA00707304), Epstein responded:
"nothing more important than you, not lux not the kids not the biz, you!! thats the discipline"
"Lux" = Luxembourg, where Edmond de Rothschild is headquartered. Epstein offered to "send a nutritionist, exercise person to you for a couple of weeks. my treat." Late-night texts show 2am exchanges (EFTA00658389) with Epstein telling Ariane "GO TO SLEEP!!"
The relationship was facilitated by Terje Rød-Larsen (EFTA00383585): "Terje said you had sent unreturned emails... looking very much forward to seeing you and Ariane."
A 2009 email shows Jeffrey Epstein telling Peter Mandelson (then UK Cabinet Minister): "I have an associate who is interested in a passport" and asking Mandelson to "call number 10" (10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's office). At this time, Mandelson was Secretary of State for Business under Gordon Brown's government, and Epstein had already pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor in Florida (2008). This suggests Epstein may have been attempting to leverage his relationship with a sitting Cabinet Minister for favors involving UK government access.
In May 2012, Peter Mandelson forwarded a draft Guardian article to Jeffrey Epstein asking "What do you think?" The attached article, co-authored with Ed Balls (then UK Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer), contained detailed EU economic policy recommendations on "the future of Europe" including debt reduction strategy, Eurozone institutions, and fiscal policy. Mandelson was seeking Epstein's input on UK/EU political strategy before publishing in a major newspaper. This demonstrates Mandelson sharing political policy discussions with a convicted sex offender.
A November 2016 email reveals Jeffrey Epstein received a personal invitation from "His Royal Highness: PRINCE mohammed bin salman" to visit Saudi Arabia. The email instructs staff to go to the Saudi Arabia Consulate in NYC with Epstein's passport and tell them "Jeffrey Epstein, has an invitation from His Royal Highness: PRINCE mohammed bin salman and HE: Raafat alsabbagh to visit their country and it is urgent." A consulate official named Nageete left a voicemail about Epstein's visa. This occurred 8 years after Epstein's 2008 conviction and while he was a registered sex offender.
In October 2018, Deepak Chopra forwarded to Epstein an invitation to speak at the Misk Global Forum in Riyadh, "Chaired by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman." The email describes MBS's forum as reaching "180 million individuals worldwide." This shows Epstein remained connected to networks with direct access to MBS less than a year before his arrest.
Epstein facilitated meetings between the Russian UN Ambassador and top American/Israeli figures: "Ehud Barak in town this week if a meal is convenient" (Jan 2, 2016) and "Larry Summers will be here as well" (Jan 13, 2016). This shows Epstein acting as an informal diplomatic channel between Russian, Israeli, and American elites.
April 1, 2019 — just three months before Epstein's arrest — Terje Rød-Larsen texted Epstein from Tunis airport:
"At VIP with people at airport in Tunis. Difficult to talk. Cannot be in Paris before around 3pm. Will come directly to you. Give Steve my best. Would very much like to catch up with him. Will stay until noon Wednesday. Will see Bill Burns in London in the evening. Will call you from London this evening."
Terje was reporting his Burns meeting to Epstein as a matter of routine — indicating the Burns-Epstein connection was still actively maintained through the Terje intermediary channel as late as April 2019. At this point Burns was president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and would become CIA Director two years later.
Epstein writes to Peter Mandelson: "no, of course not.. svetana will be there, she will be with Josh fink, and i m not sure if eva and glenn will be" — "eva and glenn" being Eva and Glenn Dubin. This places Svetlana Pozhidaeva (Russian model scout who forwarded "outstanding models" to Epstein) at social events organized by Epstein alongside the UK's most powerful political figure connected to the case.
Separately, Epstein asked Mandelson: "did josh fink have a girlfriend in london" (EFTA01907281) — and asked Katherine Keating: "have you seen josh fink?" while in Paris (EFTA01989802). Emails also show Epstein on "Nat boat anchored to a rock on deserted island in Aegean with Josh Fink" (EFTA01859131).
An email chain between Epstein, Ehud Barak, and Jabor Al Thani (Qatar) arranges a meeting in London for December 20, 2018. Barak asks if Epstein will be present. Epstein responds: "unfortunately, not. you should make clear that i dont work for mossad. :)" (EFTA01013193).
The meeting was with "HH HBJ" — His Highness Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, former Prime Minister of Qatar and one of the world's wealthiest individuals. Barak describes "fascinating and disturbing events" on "the global and our regional arenas." Epstein is CC'd on the entire coordination chain, acting as intermediary between a former Israeli PM and Qatari royalty.
The Mossad joke is significant in context: multiple sources have alleged Epstein functioned as an intelligence asset. His joke can be read as either dismissal or deflection. Separately, the witness statement in EFTA00076608 explicitly claims: "He never in a trillion years would have taken his own life. He was an intelligence asset."
Bannon texts Epstein about Khashoggi article: "Why Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance will haunt the Saudi government". Then: "MBZ asked me to come over and see him asap --- leaving in the morning"
Epstein advises Bannon on Middle East: "Be very careful. Not one of them tells the truth... Your phones will need to be changed once you leave the area. THERE IS NO PRIVACY!!!... MBZ would like to reincorporate the whole region back into one entity... Dubai on the decline"
On MBS: "If Salman has to remove the crown prince. Vacuum time". Bannon quotes Chomsky: "Thousands in Yemen go unnoticed, one journalist. World stops"
February 2011: Epstein emails Boris Nikolic (Bill Gates' science advisor, later Epstein trust backup executor): "His next stop is this morning at my house 8 am for a couple of hours" — referring to Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
The email includes text about Barak meeting with Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, and Tom Donilon at the White House the previous day. Epstein's house was Barak's next stop after these high-level diplomatic meetings.
Island visit: "Jeff Island?" / Epstein: "Yes" — Christmas 2011 (EFTA00656628). Also invited: "would you like to visit island. I can send heli" (EFTA00947089)
Shopping trips: Schedule shows "Shopping Trip to Prada w/Princess Mette" (EFTA00388164)
Norwegian network dinner: Epstein hosted her alongside "cg of norway, ambassador, terje, thorbjorn" and "the president of the Maldives" (EFTA00662155)
An iMessage conversation from May 13, 2019 — just two months before Epstein's arrest — reveals someone in his inner circle discussing three simultaneous high-level government offers:
"Met with my NATO Ambassador last night. The offer is serious, I seem to be the best candidate for the job (not the only, though). Should have an interview before the end of June, decision to be made in July."
The same person also mentions:
Epstein advises: "careful of old man thinking. look forward not backwards" and "you don't want to be selling candles when electricity has been discovered."
This demonstrates that as late as May 2019, Epstein was actively brokering appointments to NATO, the United Nations, and the IPI — the highest levels of international governance.
Multiple documents show Epstein using the phrase "Not for email" when discussing geopolitically sensitive topics, indicating awareness of surveillance and the explosive nature of the information.
MBS Purge (Jan 2018): Bannon asked Epstein: "Do u have a handle on what the ksa guys are doing with 'kingdom holdings'". Epstein: "With al whalid or the co". Bannon: "al waaleed is a goner." Epstein: "Not for email.. back Sunday." This exchange occurred during Crown Prince MBS's purge of Al-Waleed bin Talal at the Ritz-Carlton in Riyadh.
Sheikh Mohammed Visit (Jun 2016): Epstein told an associate: "sheik mohammed from saudi will be coming to new york mid June. He is looking for advice re 20—" When asked how the visit went: "not for email. in general, he established himself as a player in the big leagues."
Mongolia (Aug 2017): Epstein discussed with Ganbat Chuluunkhuu (RVJ Capital) about getting "support from the State" regarding "battuga" (likely President Battulga of Mongolia). "Not for email."
In March 2017 iMessages (EFTA01618757), Indian billionaire Anil Ambani asked Epstein to arrange meetings with Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon. Epstein provided intelligence on MBS:
"MBS's meeting took time to set and basically a waste of time."
Epstein canceled a flight for Ehud Barak to accommodate Ambani's request — demonstrating Epstein's ability to prioritize access to the Trump White House as a commodity, brokering foreign billionaire access to the sitting administration.
Peter Thiel's relationship with Epstein was deeper and more geopolitically significant than previously known, spanning 2014 through January 2019 — just six months before Epstein's arrest.
In April 2014, Epstein invited Thiel to his Caribbean island with helicopter transport (EFTA01978194):
"come with whomever you want. fly to st thomas heli to the island. could be a lot of fun"
On September 19, 2014, Thiel attended a lunch at Epstein's with Vitaly Churkin — the Russian Ambassador to the United Nations (EFTA02041031): "12:00 Lunch w/ Peter Thiel & Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin" — with Karyna Shuliak (Epstein's partner, Belarus-born) noted as attending. Churkin died suddenly in February 2017. This places the founder of Palantir — a company with deep US intelligence contracts — at a private lunch with Russia's top UN diplomat, brokered by a convicted sex offender.
On December 5, 2014, Thiel attended dinner with former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, which Thiel called "very Israeli and very stimulating" (EFTA01921538). Epstein hosted an earlier dinner with Thiel, Barak, and the President of Mongolia (EFTA00845225).
Epstein noted that "peter thiel LOVED the secret socieity idea" [sic] (EFTA01738574) — the nature of this proposed "secret society" is not further explained in the documents.
Epstein also brokered Thiel's introduction to Masha Drokova, the Russian media entrepreneur who is separately documented introducing young women into Epstein's network (EFTA00938427): Drokova told Epstein "you will meet him with me" about Thiel. Epstein discussed Palantir investment opportunities and Thiel's Valar Ventures fund in his files (EFTA00814775).
Contact continued through at least January 2019 (EFTA01027621), six months before Epstein's July 2019 arrest.
In June 2013, Jeffrey Epstein exchanges emails with Olivier Colom, a banker at Edmond de Rothschild bank. When asked where he is, Epstein writes: "on my island in the caribean, with an aquarium full of girls" and "as two are russian, i guess some might refer to them as white sharks." This is direct evidence in Epstein's own words describing "girls" on his private island. The email thread also shows Epstein offering to connect the Rothschild bank with "a friend that built the beijing airport" for business purposes.
An email shows Peter Mandelson asking Epstein about "the oligarch" — seeking information about a wealthy Russian businessman through Epstein's network. This demonstrates Mandelson's use of Epstein as an intermediary for high-level business connections.
When FBI agents raided Epstein's Manhattan mansion in July 2019, they found a safe containing "piles of cash," diamonds, and "a passport from a foreign country" with Epstein's photo but a different name (reportedly "Marius Robert Fortelni"). The passport "listed his residence as Saudi Arabia." Prosecutors noted this at his bail hearing as evidence of flight risk. The passport's issuing country "was not clear" but appeared to be Austrian. Epstein allegedly used this passport for travel to "France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia in the 1980s."
Jeffrey Epstein emailed Jes Staley (then JP Morgan executive): "peter mandelson here at 5, staying a couple of days". Staley replied: "If I get back in time, I will swing by." This documents Lord Mandelson staying at Epstein's property four years after Epstein's 2008 felony conviction. The email also shows coordination between Epstein, Mandelson, and Staley.
Epstein apologized to Mandelson about an apparent miscommunication regarding "is my bed free" — indicating Mandelson's familiarity with staying at Epstein properties. Mandelson replied: "No insult, don't worry! I still love you." Other emails show Epstein describing Lars Christiaanse to Mandelson: "I told you, you would find him cute."
August 2011 email exchange: Epstein wrote "im in dubai, you would have loved it". Mandelson replied: "Did u bring me something back from Dubai?! I am in Istanbul this weekend (alone). Come !". Another email: Epstein: "Abu - tonight Dubai tomorrow turkey". This shows coordinated international travel between Dubai, Istanbul, and Paris.
Masha Drokova (Russian venture capitalist) emailed Lesley Groff in May 2019: "Please meet Zoe and schedule meeting with her directly when Jeffrey is in NYC. She is excited to meet him." This pattern of young women being introduced to Epstein at 9 East 71st Street mirrors documented recruitment methods.
In September 2017, Drokova asked Epstein: "do you know any adequate Russian oligarchs?" Epstein suggested Len Blavatnik. Drokova explained: "if smart American introduce one Russian to another Russian, the first one will pay double attention." This shows Epstein's role as a connector between Russian wealth and his network.
September 2011 emails show Ian Osborne (1,259 documents) arranging for Epstein to meet Karl Lagerfeld at a Chanel show run-through in Paris. Osborne writes: "my young protégé Jacob Burda is friends with Karl Lagerfeld who suggested we see him in Paris this weekend. I am sure you and he would have lots to talk about."
In a follow-up, Osborne describes: "Lagerfeld is doing a run-through of the Chanel show from midnight to 2am tomorrow". Epstein responds "yes, lets do it". Jacob Burda (80 documents) is heir to the German Burda Media empire. This connects Epstein directly to the highest levels of the fashion industry.
Emails show Jagland's entire family stayed at Epstein's Palm Beach house and then visited his private island in April 2014 - six years after Epstein's 2008 felony conviction. Epstein paid for 3 rooms at the Ritz Carlton St. Thomas, flight on his private plane, and helicopter to the island. "Jeffrey says the tickets are a treat for your family and does not wish for you to pay him back!"
In January 2014, Jagland emailed Epstein: "I am in Davos next week. Im going to Sochi and meet with Putin. We should start planning Easter. Are you still prepared to receive us."
iMessage archives show direct conversations between Epstein and Churkin from Nov 2015 through Feb 2016. Epstein congratulated Churkin on Russian foreign policy: "Good work on Syria, markets will continue bad" (Feb 12, 2016). He also gave oil price advice: "Oil now at the 36 $ level I suggested" (Jan 2, 2016).
The same October 2012 email chain reveals Ian Osborne met with David Geffen (billionaire DreamWorks co-founder): "Geffen... said he'd be glad to get together in NY or LA.... he knew a bit about you, but asked what exactly you 'did' and said he'd been to your island. Some funny stories about the Mid-East folks."
Epstein responds: "i am more than happy to have geffen wed or thurs". This confirms Geffen visited Epstein's private island and had "stories" about Middle Eastern visitors.
January 2011 email exchange where Epstein tells Barrack: "Im in paris, nicole is coming to see me on sat.. message?" Barrack responds: "Hug!!! Kiss!!"
Email with attached "Selana.pdf" asking "Will she cancel my visa now?" — showing immigration dependency that mirrors documented control patterns over other women in Epstein's network. The visa concern, combined with her Russian nationality, fits the pattern of immigration-dependent women being vulnerable to exploitation.
Personal email from p.selana@yahoo.com (Pozhidaeva's alias) revealing intimate family-like relationship: "Hey baby, how are you and our new family member? I've caught cold... Miss you all!!!" Combined with USVI school district involvement (St. Thomas hardware suggestions forwarded to Epstein) and Russian passport on file — pattern consistent with deep embeddedness in Epstein's personal and operational network.
Epstein's private jet: Schedule records show "Woody And Family to fly w/JE to Albuquerque" (March 24, 2014, EFTA00284956). Earlier records confirm Allen, Soon-Yi, their children, and an au pair flew on Epstein's Boeing 727 (N908JE) from JFK to Paris.
Personal relationship with Soon-Yi: Epstein emails Soon-Yi directly: "did
boarding school happen. hope your e ok". Soon-Yi responds: "Yes, she's away for a
few months in a program. No, I'm not OK." Epstein offers to walk and have dinner.
Soon-Yi replies: "Woody and I are holding up the best we can."
(EFTA00714214, September 2015). Soon-Yi's email: Trouble.nyc@hotmail.com.
Regular dinner coordination: Lesley Groff arranged dinners with "Woody and Soon Yi" — sometimes the same day as meetings with Leon Black (EFTA00679719). A May 2013 dinner included "Joi Ito, Ed Boyden, Woody Allen & Soon Yi" (EFTA00390161). Groff coordinated food allergies and Karyna Shuliak's attendance at dinners with Soon-Yi (EFTA00574167).
January 2012 schedule shows "5:00 [person] to arrive via Aeroflot at JFK" followed by "MEETING WITH BORIS & GANG!!" the same week. Also shows pending meetings with Woody Allen.
January 2013 email shows detailed Aeroflot flight arrangements: "09.02.2013 14:10pm NYC (JFK) - Moscow 8:20 am (svo) - flight 9h 10min Aeroflot SU 101. Connection 2h 45 min... Moscow (svo) to Saint Petersburg".
Calendar reminder: "Karyna's parents to depart today Aeroflot Russian #101 at 2:20pm". Karyna Shuliak was Epstein's Ukrainian girlfriend. This shows family members also using the Aeroflot route.
Økokrim (Norway's Economic Crimes Authority) has opened a criminal investigation into Terje Røed-Larsen and his wife Mona Juul (former Norwegian Ambassador) based on the Epstein files. Mona Juul faces charges of aggravated corruption related to her diplomatic positions. Terje Røed-Larsen faces charges of complicity in aggravated corruption.
Both residences were searched following court approval. Investigators are examining a 2018 apartment transaction and related travel. Juul resigned as Ambassador to Jordan/Iraq on February 8, 2026. Chief Prosecutor Pål Lønseth: "We face a comprehensive and, by all accounts, lengthy investigation."
Email from Epstein's staff to Adam Lupel (VP, International Peace Institute) regarding "Nadia Alsaid": "Jeffrey will be in NY next Tues. May 30th-Fri. June 2nd. Might Nadia be in NY and have some time to come see him? Terje suggested the two of them get together..."
Lupel responds: "Nadia had to take a personal day today, so she is unavailable to meet. Was there something specific that Mr. Epstein wanted to discuss?" This shows Terje Røed-Larsen suggesting women meet with Epstein.
In an April 2003 email exchange with Tom Pritzker, Ghislaine Maxwell describes organizing a dinner at Epstein's home:
"a 12 out of 10 - everyone you'd want + some - 24 people - Mandleson black, blaine brockman Jarecki, Stroll maybe chicken - + 5 models who are the serving girls"
When Pritzker asks "will maxwell be there?", she replies: "Of course - who else could possibly be there to hold the peace or was it hold your piece"
This email documents:
• Models used as servants at Epstein dinners
• Maxwell organizing the events
• Core network present: Peter Mandelson, Leon Black, David Blaine, John Brockman, Henry Jarecki
Emails describe Ehnbom running a systematic recruitment network:
"I'm Emma Marthans, one of Barbro's Best and Brightest. Barbro is providing 'her' girls with..."
"She has a young lady, Julia, in Stockholm, who she thinks you should interview... would be a perfect candidate for the job and says you should interview her while you are in Paris"
The language explicitly describes women as belonging to Ehnbom ("her girls") who were then provided to Epstein for "interviews" in Paris.
Internal FBI communication from the Legal Attaché office in Copenhagen:
"I'm the case agent on an investigation involving subjects Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell. We have a witness in Sweden that I'd like to contact via phone to introduce myself and see her availabil[ity]..."
This document reveals the FBI was actively pursuing witnesses in Scandinavia as part of their investigation, corroborating the significance of the Swedish recruitment network run by Barbro Ehnbom.
An Epstein staff to-do item dated March 20, 2012:
"Need Au Pair info from Kathryn for Leon's office"
"Kathryn" is likely Kathryn Sigismund, Woody Allen's personal assistant who coordinated Allen's travel with Epstein. "Leon" is likely Leon Black, whose office was receiving au pair information through Epstein's staff. This to-do was created the same week that Epstein arranged for Woody Allen's entire family (including their au pair Morgane) to fly on N908JE (the Boeing 727 "Lolita Express") to Paris. The coordination between Allen's assistant, Epstein's staff, and Black's office in an au pair context is notable given Maxwell's separate screening of au pairs for physical attractiveness.
Woody Allen — New York
Flight details: N908JE departing JFK at 8:30 PM Saturday to Paris Le Bourget airport. The same scheduling emails include "BBB Gathering" (Barbro Ehnbom's "Best & Brightest" network), meetings with Faith Kates (Next Models) at her apartment, and a "People To See" list including Terje, Dangene & Jennie, Rich Kahn, Darren Indyke, Austin Hearst.
Lesley Groff also forwarded the au pair's passport separately to Melanie Spinella (EFTA00417306), demonstrating Epstein's staff coordinating travel documents for Allen's household staff.
Epstein brokered the Burns-Thiel introduction, writing to Thiel:
"Bill (William Burns), under sec of state. leaving in nov. best and most respected diplomat in the admin, you should meet him, he conducted the secret iran negotiations, kept them secret for a year.. and was involved in the most sensitive of missions for years. i can set up when you are avail"
Confirmed meetings at the townhouse included:
Burns was on Epstein's "People to See" list alongside Gates, Summers, Leon Black, Zuckerman, Peter Thiel, John Brockman, and Bob Kerrey. The relationship continued through at least April 2017 when Epstein proposed inviting Burns to events with Pritzker and Michael Wolff.
Epstein leveraged Burns' diplomatic expertise for his own network:
In February 2013, Epstein visited SpaceX headquarters for lunch with Musk (EFTA00395282). Lesley Groff coordinated with Musk's executive assistant Mary Beth Brown: "Jeffrey is a US citizen but he will have assistants with him who are not (2 Russian and 1 South African). They all have passports and proper paper work." SpaceX security blocked the foreign nationals from entering the facility (EFTA00394956). Epstein had also invited Musk to Zorro Ranch that same weekend. Separately, a dinner attendee list (EFTA01749326) shows: "1. Ed Boyden 2. Desiree Dudley 3. Reid Hoffman 4. Michelle Yee 5. Mark Zuckerberg 6. Priscilla Chan 7. Peter Thiel 8. Jeffrey Epstein 9. Navaid Farooq 10. Elon Musk" — a gathering of Silicon Valley's most powerful figures organized around Epstein. In September 2012, Musk told Epstein the name "Demis Hassabis" (future DeepMind/Google founder) when Epstein asked for "the AI guy in London that you thought was smart" (EFTA00699539). Epstein personally knew Kimbal Musk: "will see your brother and his new romance" (EFTA02000103).
"Wife hunt": Epstein: "two norwegians here, 24 and 25. I am on my wife hunt. paris is proving interesting" — She: "I'm still trying to get over the shock that you are in fact wife hunting" (EFTA00944860, Oct 2012)
Stayed at Epstein's properties: Her meditation teacher Myoshin Kelley stayed at Epstein's house; Epstein's driver picked up the Crown Princess from Miami airport (EFTA00676878)
Deeply personal tone: "What do you have to do besides seeing me????", "For how long dear??? Love", "U coming alone??"
Investigators filed multiple FOIA requests asking about "Norwegian Police Security Service or other agencies concerning Jeffrey Epstein or Crown Princess Mette-Marit" (EFTA00147998). This connects to the broader Norwegian network: Thorbjørn Jagland (Nobel Peace Prize Chairman, entire family visited island) and Terje Rød-Larsen (UN envoy).
"Two cinderellas": Dite Anata to Epstein: "will you have a room in your Paris castle for two cinderellas on Saturday?" (EFTA00908180, Apr 2011)
On July 27, 2009, the Duchess of York (Sarah Ferguson) emailed Epstein:
"I stayed at Philip Levine house with the girls. I am aiming to get to you for 12.30 for lunch."
"The girls" are Princess Beatrice (then 20) and Princess Eugenie (then 19). A follow-up email confirms all three were heading to Epstein's Palm Beach house at 358 El Brillo:
"I made Philip give us his car and a back up one for the policeman. What address shall we come to. It will be myself, Beatrice and Eugenie. Are we having lunch?"
Epstein replied: "yes, vegetable lasagna, or anything else you would like, chef here from paris, 358 el brillo"
Critically, Epstein forwarded this entire chain to Mike Sitrick — his PR crisis manager — with the subject line "duchess" (EFTA01836817). This shows Epstein was strategically managing the royal relationship, possibly for leverage or reputation-laundering. This was POST-CONVICTION — Epstein had been released from his Florida sentence in July 2009.
FBI forensic extractions from Epstein's seized Apple devices reveal an extensive contact database spanning Mac AddressBook, Mail, Skype ("jeevacation"), and iMessage. Key discoveries from the vCard exports:
The 319+ unique contacts extracted include Italian businessmen (Fabio Borghese/Enel, Ugo Brachetti Peretti/API petroleum, Luca Garavoglia/Campari), Middle Eastern diplomats (Yousef Al-Otaiba/UAE Ambassador), and a Colombian connection (Maria Catalina Fajardo — "Met At Mansion In Miami Dec 2012 With [redacted] And Nick").
On March 8, 2015, years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, Epstein emailed Brunel from his jeevacation@gmail.com account (EFTA00862635):
"saw you walking on rue rivoli, very very glad you are well. I leave tonite"
This places both Epstein and Brunel in Paris simultaneously in March 2015 — with Epstein apparently spotting Brunel on the street near the Louvre. The warm tone ("very very glad you are well") confirms the relationship remained active well after Epstein's conviction and registration as a sex offender. The Avenue Foch apartment presumably served as Epstein's base during this visit.
Virginia Roberts describes Jean-Luc Brunel bringing Epstein a "birthday present" of three 12-year-old sisters from France. She states the girls were "so young and so scared" and that Epstein abused them. This allegation about 12-year-old sisters has been consistent across Roberts' testimony in multiple legal proceedings and was referenced in prosecution filings. Brunel was found dead in his Paris prison cell in February 2022, officially ruled a suicide.
Jan 2010: Boris Nikolic emailed Epstein (subject: "drugs") with link to "300 most beautiful Croatian women." Epstein replied: "jes staley jpm" - suggesting Staley was relevant to the discussion about attractive women.
Ekaterina Norton, young Russian-born UBS banker (CV in Epstein's files), introduced Jan-March 2015. Feb 18: "Katerina Norton might join the Jes Staley appointment today at 6:30" - after Barak at 5:15. Jan 23: Norton at 7pm, Staley at 5pm. March 25: dinner with Woody Allen, Soon Yi, Blaine, Norton. Epstein asked Norton about her romantic history - matchmaker pattern.
Multiple intelligence reports from late 2021 identified a second director of Maxwell's TerraMar charity, alongside Maxwell herself. The reports, sourced from pressreader.com, noted the individual was 'referenced as one of two directors for the charity, TerraMar.'
Analyst notes confirmed: 'The TerraMar Project was described as a nonprofit organization founded by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2012 and announced it was shutting down' after Epstein's arrest. A separate analyst conducted open-source research in December 2021 to identify this director.
The TerraMar UK charity was also investigated by the UK Charity Commission following 'unwarranted press speculation.' The investigation found no wrongdoing, and the charity closed at end of 2017 'without diminution of assets.'
A January 2005 New York Post article reports that Jeffrey Epstein "has also met with Elite's Gerald Marie" as part of his efforts to acquire modeling agencies. The article notes Epstein "tried to buy Elite Models when the bankrupt agency was auctioned off" and had previously "was talking to Karin Models owner Jean-Luc Brunel about doing a deal." Gerald Marie was the European head of Elite Model Management. He was later accused of sexual assault by multiple models including Carré Otis and has been under investigation in France. This places Epstein in contact with two major figures in the modeling industry accused of trafficking: Brunel (MC2) and Marie (Elite).
A source reported that Epstein has "contacts in Moscow who provide matchmaking services" for "orgy island" and the Manhattan townhouse.
"When the Russian girls arrive in the city, they already have Jeffrey's phone number."
This corroborates the documented Aeroflot pipeline (3,005 documents mentioning Aeroflot), Karyna Shuliak's Minsk-Moscow-New York travel pattern, and Julia Santos's Moscow recruitment activities ("Meeting Anna at 330pm Moscow time!"). It describes an organized, international sex trafficking infrastructure.
Pozhidaeva (svetlanapo314@gmail.com) forwarded an email from Michele Civelli to Epstein describing an "outstanding model" — directly showing her role as a talent scout funneling women to Epstein.
Payment records from Epstein financial manager Richard Kahn show a $4,380 refund from $5,000 that was "mistakenly withheld from your check." The payment involves MC2 model agency (Jean-Luc Brunel's operation, the primary vehicle for trafficking victims from international modeling competitions).
Santos worked alongside Lesley Groff, Bella Klein, and Valdson Cotrin. She coordinated Lawrence Krauss's Paris visit with Epstein's driver.
In August 2010, during Epstein's probation period, emails reveal Epstein coordinating travel for women to accompany Henry Jarecki to Ibiza on Jarecki's private plane.
August 6, 2010 (EFTA01816504): Epstein to Jarecki: "M__, and ben will be traveling to ibiza with you.. her number ___"
August 7, 2010 (EFTA01815961): Jarecki requests: "I need names addresses date of birth, passport numbers and date of expiration... they need to reach me and find out time of wheels up and location of plan[e]." Epstein replies: "henry, do you need ___ and bens passport info.? i think so." Departure from White Plains airport at 7:45. Epstein forwards to the women: "DONOT BE LATE"
This demonstrates Epstein acting as a broker for women traveling with Jarecki internationally — providing their personal information and coordinating logistics. The pattern mirrors the broader trafficking infrastructure where Epstein arranged for women to travel with wealthy associates.
Swedish businesswoman Barbro Ehnbom ran Barbro's Best & Brightest (BBB), a network of 150 young professional women (EFTA00617478): 'created in 2001...to promote future women leaders in Swedish and International business.' Members enjoy 'unique access to the so-called Friends, who consists of an extensive list of global contacts which Ms. Ehnbom has acquired.' All members 'vetted by her.'
Critically, in a September 2017 email (EFTA01021462) discussing Hurricane Irma's damage to Epstein's island, Ehnbom wrote: 'lots to tell you about your BBB and Sweden!' — the use of 'your' confirms Epstein's ownership or sponsorship of this women's network.
Ehnbom actively networked for Epstein, asking about the 'name of nobel prize friend of JE at Columbia?' (EFTA00403031) and following up on contacts like Bob Goldsamt (EFTA00378578). She also referenced Swedish royals ('princess Sofia had a second son'), suggesting access to elite Scandinavian circles.
1,026 documents show sustained relationship from 2012-2017. Ehnbom served as Chairman of the Swedish-American Life Science Summit.
Barbro Ehnbom ran “Barbro's Best & Brightest” (BBB) — a curated network of up to 150 young Swedish professional women, primarily Stockholm School of Economics graduates — and the “Female Economist of the Year” (FEOY) scholarship. Epstein was the primary financial sponsor, providing annual checks of at least $25,000–$30,000 through his foundation. The corpus contains 1,029 documents mentioning Ehnbom and 98 scheduling entries for “Appt w/Barbro” spanning 2005–2017.
In May 2009, Ehnbom emailed Epstein the photos and CVs of all four FEOY finalists with the note: “I think [redacted] would be quite perfect for you…but, I am thinking for you! Did you like young [name] that I sent you last week?” (EFTA00776427). In August 2013, Epstein directly requested “cv and photos please!” from Ehnbom (EFTA01961127). Epstein referred to women by their source rather than name: “barbro girl” (EFTA00384735).
In March 2012, Ehnbom's assistant listed 10 BBB women coming for a gathering at Epstein's home: “We would love to start with a little round tour of his fantastic home” (EFTA00417967). In September 2014, Lesley Groff asked Ehnbom: “might you be available to come see Jeffrey? perhaps with some BBB's?” (EFTA02098244). Ehnbom regularly offered multiple women: “YOUNG ANNA IS IN MY APT SUPER SMART…SHE WANTS TO MEET YOU VERY MUCH” alongside her niece Hedvig and an actress (EFTA00715596).
The pipeline connected to Epstein's Harvard network: BBB member Anna Dreber visited Epstein in 2004 and subsequently became a research scientist at Martin Nowak's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics — the program Epstein funded with $6.5M. Epstein wrote: “of course i remember… that was ana's intro to the good life” (EFTA00738130). When Stockholm School of Economics severed ties in 2015, Ehnbom lost her scholarship, office, and honorary doctorate (EFTA02083868).
An individual using a Clifford Chance (major international law firm) email address wrote to Epstein on October 23, 2011: "I studied 11 hours for LSAT yesterday and today I do the same.... life = study. i want to Harvard more than i want anything else. I asked you why you need me naked on the photo...you didnt reply"
Epstein responded: "I only see your mind otherwise in email" — a non-answer that does not deny requesting the nude photo. This occurred in October 2011, three years after Epstein's conviction, showing the pattern of requesting nude photos from young women continued unabated.
An FBI communication states: "Duggan has a copy of a sex tape related to Epstein from the 90s and is currently in Russia" (EFTA00175111). John Mark Duggan is a former Palm Beach County deputy sheriff who fled to Moscow around 2016 and has claimed to possess Epstein-related materials.
This is significant for three reasons: (1) the FBI was aware of the alleged sex tape's existence; (2) the tape is described as being "from the 90s" — predating any law enforcement action against Epstein; (3) the material is allegedly in the possession of someone who fled to Russia, raising counterintelligence concerns about compromising material on prominent Americans held abroad.
Separately, a fact-checking document with Dershowitz rebuttals (EFTA00808054) references claims that an individual "has written over 100 emails to a Post reporter named Maureen Callahan in which she claims to have sex tapes of Donald Trump, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Bill Richardson, Richard Branson". The same document also describes Epstein's video system: he "installed a video system that taped every room" for "leverage against the men".
On August 25, 2018, Epstein texted Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen (former UN Special Coordinator, Nobel Peace Prize Committee chairman): “any luck on”. Terje replied: “Tried. Pls call me.” Epstein then sent a list of four erectile dysfunction medications: “Cialis , levitra viagra stendra” (EFTA00786091).
The exchange reads as Epstein asking Terje to source ED medications and Terje attempting but failing. This is notable because it demonstrates the depth of the compromising relationship — a senior international diplomat was being asked to personally procure sexual performance drugs for a convicted sex offender.
Epstein had dedicated physicians for this purpose: Dr. Harry Fisch (urologist) called in Stendra at Zitomer Pharmacy in NYC (EFTA01616222), and Dr. Bruce Moskowitz called in 30 Stendra pills to Publix in Palm Beach (EFTA00508962). The fact that Epstein also asked Terje — rather than simply using his doctors — suggests either convenience (possibly seeking medications while traveling) or the act of involving Terje itself served a purpose.
The same phone extraction (EFTA00786091) also contains, on the same day: Lawrence Krauss telling Epstein “You are one of the most amazing people I have ever known”, and an unredacted contact discussing Trump: “He is — and he is stilll a moron” and “I will suggest to Ivanka.”
Epstein emailed Jean-Luc Brunel (convicted model agent) asking about a specific woman by name - a classic recruitment inquiry:
From EFTA00660742 (February 5, 2012): "svetlana Zhuravleva, do you know her"
Svetlana Pozhidaeva also appears in Epstein's Deutsche Bank records with a Russian passport from Moscow (born 1984) - part of the documented Eastern European pipeline (EFTA01372264).
Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York had direct email contact with Epstein's network. From EFTA00739045 (August 27, 2009), email to "Sarah Duchess of York":
"Its increasingly evident there can only be one option to get a grip on the situation. I will discuss a plan with you when we meet next week. As always, keep in mind that this plan only becomes valid once I receive J. approval."
The "J. approval" likely refers to Jeffrey Epstein - indicating he had veto power over plans involving the Duchess. She also appeared on David Stern's radar as "Duchess of debt" with financial troubles (EFTA00751392).
Most significantly, from EFTA00682303, Epstein discussed leaking to London press about Fergie's visit during his work release: "no allegations of minors since 05. suggests leaking to london press the absurdity of fergies statements, there were law enforcement people in my office when i was on work release that let her in"
2003: Larry Summers brokered $30M Harvard deal; Epstein received an office at Harvard
Nowak dined with Jes Staley, Woody Allen, Soon Yi, Karyna Shuliak, Nick Pritzker, and Michael Wolff at Ristorante Marini (Jan 26, 2014, EFTA00375683). He proposed "a conference on the island entitled 'From bacteria to brains'" (Apr 2011).
Eduardo Teodorani-Fabbri, SVP of Corporate Development at CNH Industrial (Fiat/Agnelli subsidiary), appears in 616 documents across the EFTA releases. He was part of Epstein's European inner circle, meeting regularly in Paris, New York, and Italy from at least 2010 through early 2019 — just months before arrest.
A January 2019 contact list places Teodorani alongside Sultan bin Sulayem, Nicole Junkermann, and Steve Bannon for notification about Epstein's Paris visit and potential island trip (EFTA02273951). He appears on the same Paris list as "DSK" (Dominique Strauss-Kahn) and a woman described as "WM - new from Daniel, lied about age" (EFTA02349546). As late as March 2019, Teodorani was arranging an Italy visit for Epstein with "many people on standby" including security.
In December 2011 (EFTA00719742), Epstein arranged to sell his Boeing 727-100 aircraft to Aamal Company Q.S.C. in Doha, Qatar. The email CC'd "Mohammed Althani" and involved "His Highness Sheikh Al-Thani." The sale price was approximately $3.7M-$4.5M.
This is the same Boeing 727 used as "the Lolita Express" for transporting victims. The sale of this aircraft to a Qatari royal-connected company raises questions about what was being transferred beyond the airframe.
In August 2011, Boris Nikolic (Bill Gates' science advisor) emailed Epstein about Skorpios Island — the historic Onassis/Jackie Kennedy island in Greece: "This island is STILL NOT on the market. Steeve has an opportunity to pitch it early."
Epstein pursued the purchase formally. His general counsel Darren K. Indyke submitted a letter of intent through L.S.J., LLC (a Delaware company), stating: "I write this letter to confirm that the Company has a real and substantial interest in purchasing Scorpios Island off the coast of Western Greece in the Ionian Sea." The letter named JP Morgan Chase & Co. as the company's banker.
The broker was Richard Steeve Giraud of G.V. Invest Ltd. (London). Multiple emails show Epstein planning visits: "can we see skorpios next week, tues thru fri" (Nov 2011). One email asks Giraud for "her name" — possibly a companion Epstein was bringing. The island was later purchased by Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev — the same man who bought Trump's Palm Beach mansion for $95M.
Dick Parsons, former CEO of Time Warner and Chairman of Citigroup, was connected to Epstein's network through Jacob Rothschild and Ariane de Rothschild.
On December 22, 2015, Jacob Rothschild wrote to Ariane: "I spoke to Dick Parsons who'll wait to hear from you. He's a fan of yours and thought it could make a lot of sense." Ariane forwarded this to Epstein with "No comments" — indicating Epstein was the intermediary.
Epstein then coordinated the social calendar around Parsons, writing to Ariane on January 8, 2016: "who else besides dick parsons would you like to see. Ehud? Leon Black? Summers?" Ariane replied: "Leon Black, larry summers (always a pleasure to see him)."
Parsons appeared on a CC list alongside Ghislaine Maxwell. In a related email thread, Epstein commented about Tidjane Thiam (then Credit Suisse CEO): "tijane's quote about horror without end is from hitlers speech (not very clever)."
Boris Collardi, CEO of Julius Baer (Switzerland's third-largest private bank), maintained a direct relationship with Epstein throughout 2017, coordinated through former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
A three-way email chain shows Collardi, Epstein, and Barak coordinating a meeting between Epstein and the Julius Baer CFO in New York (EFTA00655258, Jan 2017). Barak told Epstein about Collardi: "Understand from BC that you've got him" (EFTA00676342, Mar 2017). Collardi confirmed Julius Baer was "used to find a valuation" for a transaction — likely the Bin Ennakhil palace in Marrakesh (EFTA00649587).
Julius Baer's Chief of Staff Cedric Heri handled day-to-day coordination, explicitly requesting Epstein's European travel plans: "would you be so kind to share your travel plans of your next week trip to Europe" (EFTA00443268). Marc Leon's Julius Baer account in Switzerland received a $14.95M Schwab wire for Epstein's Marrakesh palace purchase — a wire that was canceled after Epstein's July 2019 arrest (cross-reference: Marc Leon findings).
This relationship demonstrates how Epstein maintained access to major Swiss banking through political intermediaries like Barak, even years after his conviction and registration as a sex offender.
Multiple schedule documents show Ariane de Rothschild (head of Edmond de Rothschild Group) as a frequent visitor. A January 2014 schedule shows appointments with Ariane de Rothschild, Jes Staley, AND Leon Black all on the same day. Another schedule shows Ariane bought sofas for Epstein's island, and emails show she "misses our discussions." One email shows Ehud Barak AND Ariane de Rothschild meeting Epstein together in Paris (January 2014).
In a relationship dispute email forwarded through Epstein's system, Pozhidaeva wrote to Joshua Fink: "I would be in Moscow now if Jeffrey hadn't helped" — confirming Epstein directly assisted with her immigration/visa status. She also wrote: "if the woods requires a special entry permit that only you have — how can I do that?" — indicating immigration dependency as a control mechanism.
In April 2018, Epstein texts Bannon about Arabs: "They are so much like women". Bannon responds: "The worst aspects of women". Epstein: "bingo".
On David Koch's condition: "he now sits in his living room. turning the lights on and off, as that is the only thing he is able to control. drives his nurses crazy". On Putin: "putin has been kind so far, not to point out, how the us involves itself in others elections".
Bannon mentions meeting John Kerry: "If you are around the 18th, in dc. John Kerry". Epstein invites Bannon to meet Thomas Pritzker: "any questions for pritzker, he will be here from 2 to 330".
On July 14, 2010, Levine wrote to Epstein: "I am happy that everything has come to a positive ending for you during these tough times... You are a great guy."
In May 2013, Epstein offered to contribute to Levine's Miami Beach mayoral campaign: "I would like to contribute to the campaign" — Levine won and served as mayor 2013-2017.
Ghislaine Maxwell also facilitated a Levine-Dershowitz introduction: "Philip would love to meet Alan D — he just wants to chat to him about Israel" (EFTA01813876, June 2010).
June 28, 2019 — just days before Epstein's arrest — Bannon and Epstein discussed Ehud Barak's new Israeli political party:
"Im dealing with Ehud in Israel. Making me crazy"
Bannon: "Ehud massive — can we announce I'm his strategic advisor?"
Epstein: "This will be a long campaign. Elections in sept. Lots to talk about"
Bannon: "This is brilliant move"
Bannon was seeking a formal political advisory role with a former Israeli PM, brokered through Epstein. A spokeswoman for Barak told the NYT he never hired Bannon. Barak apologized for his Epstein friendship on Feb 15, 2026.
February 25, 2018 — Sultan bin Sulayem (DP World chairman) asked Epstein about Bannon. Epstein replied:
"Yes We have become friends you will like him"
Epstein actively promoted Bannon to his international network of powerful figures. This contradicts Bannon's claim that the relationship was purely a filmmaker-subject dynamic. Epstein positioned Bannon as a friend to Middle Eastern power brokers, European politicians (Miroslav Lajčák offered Slovak PM Fico to "play Steve's game"), and Israeli leaders (Ehud Barak).
Epstein wrote in another message: "Whatever you need, I'm in" — offering his full network and resources to advance Bannon's political projects.
Epstein's personal assistants used a Basecamp project management tool (organization name: "JE angels") to coordinate his travel, scheduling, and household operations. The system was set up by Karyna Shuliak in January 2014. Automated calendar reminders from the system document a meeting simply labeled "Ehud" at 4:00 PM on January 25, 2014 at Palm Beach — almost certainly referring to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. The following day's schedule shows Epstein departing Palm Beach at noon, with a stop at Tampa to "drop off the guest" at Landmark Aviation before continuing to Teterboro.
The same Basecamp system also tracked Epstein's sex offender re-registration requirement in the Virgin Islands: "Reminder for JE about the March 5th's re-registration — JE must re-register in the VI."
Joshua Cooper Ramo, Vice President (later Vice Chairman) of Kissinger Associates, had an intimate financial and intellectual relationship with Epstein. In November 2014 emails, Epstein directly coached Ramo on salary negotiations with Henry Kissinger: "I think 4.5 is fair... 25% of that" at $18M revenue. Ramo replied: "seems to me 4.5 is fair at the 18 number, and about 5.25 at the 20 number?"
Ramo's associate "Nora" flew on Epstein's private jet N908JE from Albuquerque to Newark, with passport details exchanged and pilot Visoski coordinating. Ramo consulted Epstein on his book The Seventh Sense (2016): "lmk if you have any other thoughts on the book."
Ramo attended elite meetings at Epstein's properties: science dinners at Martin Nowak's Harvard office with Joi Ito, Reid Hoffman, George Church, and Larry Summers; extended visits to Zorro Ranch; and joint appointments with Ehud Barak, Ariane de Rothschild, Nathan Myhrvold, and the editor of Foreign Affairs. He was part of Epstein's Tsinghua University scholarship pipeline linking Kissinger Associates' China expertise with Epstein's academic network.
A May 2010 email shows Epstein arranging housing for women: "you can share an apt with another girl... anastasia.. (svetlanas friend)." A later email (November 2013) references "Svetlanas apartment" and asks staff to prepare it.
A June 2020 letter to US Attorney Geoffrey Berman suggests interviewing Peter Mandelson: "Mandelson's intimacy with Epstein lasted over a period of years and he stayed in at least two of Epstein's properties, including the New York mansion." The letter suggests Mandelson "could tell you what information or other services Epstein expected in return for his hospitality (I am certain there were some.)" The author also speculates that Epstein "would have had access to boys" and may have offered them to guests, noting "predators like Epstein are generally prompted by the drive for power over a vulnerable individual rather than sexual gratification."
In December 2019, VG (Norway's largest newspaper) contacted the FBI about reports that "FBI wants to speak with [redacted]. We're still trying to trace information about Epstein." The journalist asks about Crown Princess Mette-Marit and flight logs showing a Norwegian citizen "travelled with Epstein's private jet several times." FBI internal response: "The case team is not aware of any connection to Norway or interest in these individuals."
A draft letter from Henry Jarecki to Epstein reveals that Jarecki owned Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands — directly adjacent to Epstein's Little Saint James: "I look forward to your building a house on Norman Island. I think it will be a great addition to the island and that your thinking will be a big help to me as I plan further."
The letter discusses shared infrastructure including roads, helipad, utilities, and staff policies. Epstein was planning to build a residence on Jarecki's island, making the two billionaires literal island neighbors in the BVI.
From EFTA00769902 (September 6, 2009), someone signing as "The Duke" emailed Epstein directly:
"Dear Jeffrey, It has been far too long since we were in contact. Hope you are well? I have been following you vicariously through various mutual friends..."
Separately, EFTA00086575 identifies an England-based network connecting Epstein's associates: "I wonder also if you have sought any information from Kevin Spacey. You may not know that Epstein's associates, Andrew, Mandelson and Spacey had social or professional connexions with each other in England."
January 2013: Karyna asking "if Marvin Minsky and Gloria Rudish are coming" to Harvard. June 2014: "Karyna and [redacted] to accompany you on trip" to Harvard to meet Martin Nowak and George Church. She was integrated into Epstein's science network.
In June 2016 (EFTA02050789), staff coordinated a trip to Little St. James for Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, CEO of DP World. Sulayem confirmed: "I am planning to arrive st Thomas at 1:30 p.m. Thursday June 9 and depart Friday."
This visit came 10 months after Sulayem was sent a 23andMe DNA kit by Epstein's office (EFTA02208661). Sulayem was replaced as DP World CEO/Chairman on February 13, 2026, shortly after the EFTA release.
Dr. Rony Shimony, Associate Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, was Epstein's personal cardiologist. iMessages from September-October 2018 reveal that Shimony also had a personal relationship with Terje Rød-Larsen and managed his health:
"Re T" + "when Mona is with him" confirms this is about Terje Rød-Larsen (wife = Mona Juul). This reveals a tight three-way personal relationship: Epstein's cardiologist was also treating the former UN diplomat's health conditions, discussing his wife by name in casual iMessages.
Epstein's Boeing 727 (registration N908JE) was based at the Aero Toy Store FBO at London Stansted during late 2012. Multiple documents confirm Stansted as his UK aviation hub.
Fuel economics drove the choice: jet fuel at Stansted was .42/gallon vs .01 at Paris Le Bourget — nearly half price. Stansted also offered full ILS instrument landing capability, unlike smaller UK airfields.
In August 2016, Epstein was offered a Boeing Business Jet (VP-BWR) for 7 million that was "always hangered when not in use at Fayair FBO London Stansted" — suggesting familiarity with the airport's private aviation facilities.
US Customs TECS records show Ghislaine Maxwell flew JFK to STN (Stansted) on April 21, 2007 — unusual since she overwhelmingly used Heathrow. This suggests she was connecting to Epstein's private aviation infrastructure at Stansted.
Epstein's detailed December 2012 schedule (Lesley Groff's "Priv & Conf" memo) reveals a packed month of networking, recruitment, and socializing:
December 1 — Stockholm: After flying from Oslo, Epstein's schedule shows "2:00 onwards you are available to meet w/BE1B Girls and 10:00 Professor Mathias Uhlen" — with phone numbers for "Barbro" (Barbro Ehnbom) and "Sena." "BE1B" is Ehnbom's Best & Brightest recruitment program. Professor Mathias Uhlen is a renowned Swedish biotechnologist at KTH Royal Institute of Technology — connecting the eugenics/science thread with the recruitment pipeline.
December 10 — New York: "Eva's Benefit: Cocktails Lobby Lounge of Mandarin Oriental (FESTIVE ATTIRE)" — Eva Dubin's charity benefit. Table for 10 included "Jeffrey, Ian Osborne, Boris, Sam." "Boris" is likely Boris Nikolic (Gates' science advisor).
December 12: "Robinhood Event (concert) Go w/Jes Staley" — Epstein attending a Robin Hood Foundation charity event alongside Staley, then JPMorgan's head of investment banking.
The same schedule also notes "Woody Allen's birthday is today Dec. 1st!!" with Allen's cell phone number, and a tentative lunch with Leon Botstein (Bard College president) on December 10.
In 2011, Epstein explored brokering the purchase of London Stansted Airport through David Stern (Witan Group) and Chinese contacts. Ferrovial (the Spanish owner) was willing to sell for approximately £1 billion.
Epstein connected the deal to Beijing Capital Airport and Hainan Airlines, and forwarded the Stansted valuation to Desmond Shum — the Chinese billionaire who later wrote Red Roulette, exposing corruption in the Chinese Communist Party's elite.
Shum's analyst concluded the investment was "not promising" — low returns, government-regulated, declining traffic. The deal did not proceed. Stansted was eventually sold to Manchester Airports Group in 2013 for £1.5 billion.
The episode illustrates Epstein's role as a deal-broker connecting Chinese capital to Western infrastructure — and his relationship with Desmond Shum, who would later become a prominent critic of CCP corruption.
On October 2, 2010, Epstein emailed Nicole Junkermann his precise Paris apartment location (EFTA01810549):
"1-30 avenue foch 22 2 dd apt"
Junkermann asked: "I will bring it — can I come at 1pm? Which house number? Avenue foch?" They agreed on a 2:00 PM meeting. The previous day, Epstein had texted "what happened to you today?" suggesting a missed earlier meeting.
This email provides the exact apartment designation at 22 Avenue Foch (apartment 2DD) and confirms Junkermann visited Epstein at his Paris residence. Junkermann is a German tech investor whom Epstein personally connected to Leon Black in October 2009 (EFTA02435074): "I spoke to Leon Black... He said he will take you to lunch or dinner and be any help he can."
EFTA00404161 (Sep 26, 2012): Ian Osborne — a key Epstein associate who brokered high-level introductions — brought Wendi Deng Murdoch (then recently separated from Rupert Murdoch) to meet Epstein and former Norwegian PM Thorbjørn Jagland:
"It is possible that Ian Osborne and Wendy Murdoch come see JE around 2-2:30 as well today. They are sitting down to lunch somewhere at 1pm and Ian is going to ask Wendy if she would like to come meet JE and Jagland...if she says yes, they will come."
The next day (EFTA00403939), Deng was scheduled to "stop by" the same evening as Jes Staley, Dan Ariely, and a "Dinner with Gates crew" — placing her at the intersection of Epstein's financial (Staley), academic (Ariely), and tech (Gates) networks.
Maxwell also listed Wendi Murdoch alongside Liz Murdoch and Queen Rania for her "Mothers Army" connections (EFTA00774156), and Deng connected Dasha Zhukova (Roman Abramovich's partner) to the Epstein circle (EFTA00646657).
British TV presenter Donna Air was introduced to Epstein by intermediary Tancredi Marchiolo in 2011 (EFTA01776605): "Donna Air is in ny nxt week. She's a very very good friend. Let me know if you want to meet her." In April 2012, Marchiolo explicitly arranged her visit to Epstein (EFTA01768686): "Am bringing donna air as well, ive put her in the carlyle. What if i come to catch up with you first and have the Doctor join us after a bit on tuesday morning?"
Air maintained direct email contact with Epstein through 2012. In August 2012, Epstein invited her to an "interesting breakfast at leon blck in southampton" (EFTA00713112), connecting her to Leon Black's social orbit. Air described casual social plans — Hamptons, Ibiza, South of France — and visited Epstein's London residence (EFTA01871394: "I could swing by for a cuppa say 7.45/8").
Air was a known associate of Prince Andrew's circle in the UK. No misconduct alleged.
EFTA02356182 (March 7, 2011): Two years after Epstein's release from his 2008 sentence, Swedish associate Cecilia Steen wrote an intimate, devoted letter:
"My dearest, beloved Jeffrey, I hope you are doing well. I know you are a man who will always stay strong and survive. You have helped and done so much good for so many people. I'm proud to say I'm one of them. You are a person who had such a profound impact on my life. You gave me so many extraordinary memories and you are a person I am holding closest to my heart. I always will."
She added personal details: "I'm alone. It's over with my 51 year old married man. I told him he had to marry me or leave for good." And noted she was "recovering from 3.5 rough years" — a period coinciding with Epstein's legal troubles.
EFTA00654028: Steen congratulated Epstein on his release: "According to the papers, you're getting out today! CONGRATULATIONS!"
EFTA00698187: Barbro Ehnbom identified Steen by her alternate surname Schott: "Cecilia Schott are staying in my apt...old time BBB" — confirming Steen was part of the "BBB girls" network of Swedish women connected to Epstein through Ehnbom.
Former Colombian President Andrés Pastrana Arango appears in depositions where the witness is asked directly: "Do you know President Andres Pastrana?" followed by "Do you know him as somebody who has had sex with underage minor females brought to him by Jeffrey Epstein?" The deponent refused to answer both questions (EFTA00182418, EFTA00159250).
These questions appear in a sequence asking about Epstein's sex trafficking operation — including questions about sex slaves on flights, Bill Clinton on flight logs, Emmy Taylor as Maxwell's "sex slave," and whether victims were made to "dress as if they're 11 or 12." Ehud Barak is asked about in the same deposition sequence.
Separately, FedEx records (EFTA00218394) show a package sent from Epstein's office (shipped by Andrea Mitrovich) to "ANDRES PASTRANA" in Madrid, Spain on April 21, 2003 via FedEx International Economy.
In March 2003, Pastrana flew on Epstein's plane to Cuba at Fidel Castro's invitation (EFTA00129169, EFTA00261990). Text messages in the EFTA corpus reference someone named "Danny from Miami" who allegedly "procured girls in Cuba for Glenn and Epstein" in connection with this trip. The article notes that Cuba has a severe child sex tourism problem and that Epstein was "likely considering relocating to Cuba in order to escape U.S. law enforcement" at the time.
Lady Clare Iveagh (née Hazell), Countess of Iveagh and wife of the 4th Earl of Iveagh (Guinness family), was the subject of coordinated investigation by the SDNY and the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA). An August 2020 memo states: "SDNY has no issue with NCA proceeding with their investigation of Clare Iveagh" (EFTA00037498). The NCA identified her as "Clare GUINNESS (née HAZELL)... Lady Clare IVEAGH/Countess IVEAGH" and noted she "was allegedly a close contact of EPSTEIN and travelled and stayed with him on multiple occasions" (EFTA00037470).
The NCA memo documented anonymous victim allegations of sexual abuse. During this period, Iveagh was President of the West Sussex Branch of the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children), which initiated an internal review.
69+ documents show extensive personal email correspondence with Epstein (2013-2014). She wrote: "thank you for your amazing contribution to my life" (EFTA01943902) and "Changed my life for the positive" (EFTA01936613). Epstein gave her his Paris apartment access code: "door code 2512 apt 2 DD" (EFTA01933348). In one exchange, Iveagh discussed real estate with Epstein: "Coco Chanel's house in the South of France is for sale... Super cool for girls" (EFTA00714980).
Gianni Serazzi, Italian modeling executive who owned 2Morrow Model Management (Milan) and was a former business partner of John Casablancas at Starsystem, was introduced to Epstein by convicted sex trafficker Jean-Luc Brunel in February 2014 (EFTA01936091). Over five years (2014-2019), Serazzi sought increasingly large investments: $4M EUR at 10% interest (EFTA00847931, May 2015), then $15-20M EUR to build a "leading global modeling reality" across Milan, Paris, London, New York, and China (Oct 2018).
Epstein proposed that Svetlana Pozhidaeva ("Jeffrey Epstein Right Hand") invest 800K EUR for 50% of the agency (EFTA00847931). He also referred a "beautiful girl" from Vilnius, Lithuania to Serazzi's agency (July 2015), with her flight arranged by Lesley Groff and hotel booked. Serazzi responded: "Please feel free to always give me girls" (EFTA00847931).
Serazzi met Epstein at his Paris apartment, 22 avenue Foch, apt 2DD (EFTA00352367). His schedule entries appear alongside Leon Black meetings (EFTA00285585). Mysterious "colored donuts" calendar entries appear weeks before Epstein's arrest (EFTA00497911, EFTA00498316). The Casablancas-Starsystem connection links Serazzi to the same modeling world that Brunel exploited for trafficking.
Natalya Malyshev was named as a defendant in Jane Doe 43 v. Epstein (No. 117-cv-00616, S.D.N.Y. 2017) alongside Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, and Lesley Groff. Court filings state she "was working to recruit young females for Epstein for sex" and "reported to her superiors, Defendants Kellen, Groff and Maxwell, and was paid for her recruitment."
Malyshev recruited the plaintiff (a South African citizen) by describing Epstein as a "wealthy philanthropist who regularly used his wealth, influence and connections to help financially disadvantaged young women." The victim was then sent to South Africa "to recruit aspiring female models supposedly for Defendant Epstein to use as an alleged personal assistant but would, instead, be forced into sexual servitude."
Emails show Malyshev actively sourcing for Epstein: "I just found a great stream of good stuff for you" with a photo attachment (EFTA00752360, Nov 2010). Epstein directed: "give me a number to call" — she responded "Forever grateful." After the civil lawsuit, Malyshev could not be located for service — she effectively disappeared. The SDNY prosecution team eventually coordinated LA interviews near her attorney's office in February 2020 (EFTA00074466).
Peter Listerman, a Russian model scout and self-described "matchmaker," was designated FBI Subject #12 on the numbered subject list of 90 individuals connected to the Epstein investigation (EFTA01248315). An FBI targeting document describes him as "Models matchmaker" (EFTA01682078).
Listerman was publicly described as "the world famous seller of young models to oligarchs" and is connected to Epstein's documented shift toward "importing his playmates from Russia." His role as a professional supplier of young women to wealthy men directly parallels the recruitment infrastructure that Epstein built through Jean-Luc Brunel's MC2, Kira Dikhtyar's casting network, and Naya Shavkunova's music video pipeline.
Listerman's FBI subject designation indicates he was under active investigation as part of the Epstein trafficking probe, not merely a peripheral contact.
Lasma Kuhtarska, a Latvian national born April 30, 1995 (passport LV4601764), traveled repeatedly from Riga and Barcelona to Epstein's properties in Miami, New York, and Paris during 2016-2017 — all on Epstein's American Express Centurion card.
Jeffrey Epstein personally directed her travel in a July 2017 email: "lasma from riga to paris sunday night. then to barcelona tues night" (EFTA02217416). In December 2016, Lesley Groff instructed AmEx: "Jeffrey wants her to fly direct" Barcelona to Miami, January 6-10 (EFTA02199773). The bookings were executed by AmEx Centurion agent Natalia Molotkova at Epstein's expense.
Kuhtarska was 21-22 during these documented travels. The pattern — a young Eastern European woman whose international travel is personally directed by Epstein, paid for by Epstein, and routed through his staff — is consistent with documented trafficking infrastructure. Her surname does not appear in the EFTA corpus through OCR extraction, meaning she was identified through non-OCR sources.
Indian billionaire Anil Ambani, chairman of Reliance Group, was connected to Epstein through Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, seeking White House access. In March 2017, Epstein suggested "a tall Swedish blonde woman, to make fun to visit" — Ambani responded: "Arrange that" (documented in scheduling emails).
Ambani visited Epstein's Manhattan townhouse on the day Indian PM Narendra Modi secured re-election in 2019, suggesting the political dimension of the relationship was active through Epstein's final months. Epstein told Steve Bannon that a Modi representative claimed limited access to the US administration.
The "arrange that" response to an offer of a woman is particularly significant given Epstein's documented pattern of using women as inducements for maintaining business and political relationships. The exchange parallels other documented instances where Epstein offered female companionship as part of relationship management.
Mikhail Gromov, Russian-French mathematician and Abel Prize laureate (2009), was one of Epstein's most frequent academic associates, appearing in ~2,400 scheduling documents from 2015-2018. He flew privately with Epstein (NY to Bedford, NY to Teterboro) and had regular one-on-one appointments at Epstein's townhouse (EFTA00285156, EFTA00285307, EFTA00285514).
American Express Travel invoices prove Epstein paid for Gromov's first-class Delta flight Boston-JFK ($586), charged to his Centurion card (EFTA00300837) — documentary proof of direct financial support. Gromov had private dinners with Epstein in Paris at restaurant Virgule and at Epstein's apartment, with Epstein's driver Valdson providing transportation (EFTA00285117).
Gromov's calendar entries place him alongside Epstein's most significant associates: lunch with Noam Chomsky the same day as dinner with Woody Allen (EFTA00285133), tea same day as Ehud Barak and Tom Barrack (EFTA00285290), and appointments followed by Ariane de Rothschild (EFTA00285415). Epstein used Gromov's ideas as intellectual currency in iMessages with Larry Summers: "Gromov said it's a question his children might ask" — Summers replied: "Don't know Gromov" (EFTA01618718, June 2019).
Elkhonon Goldberg, a Soviet-born clinical neuropsychologist at NYU School of Medicine and last doctoral student of legendary neuropsychologist Alexander Luria, maintained a years-long relationship with Epstein that included arranging access to Moscow University.
Multiple to-do reminders from November 2011 to January 2012 document: "Dr. Goldberg has pp for JE to meet at Moscow Univ." (EFTA00423039, EFTA00414947, EFTA00424155) — Goldberg was leveraging his Soviet academic connections to facilitate Epstein's access to Russian institutions.
Goldberg had personal dinners at Epstein's residence: "Jeffrey is wondering if you might be available this evening to go and see him." Goldberg responded: "Yes, will be glad to see Jeffrey tonight" (EFTA00428644).
He was on the prison mail list as 'Dr. Goldberg' (EFTA00306074) and maintained the relationship through at least 2017, when his Luria Neuroscience Institute emailed "Dr. Jeffrey Epstein" about neuroscience webinars (EFTA00680345).
The Moscow University connection is notable given Epstein's broader Russian network — Aeroflot flights, Belarus hotel bookings, Sberbank wires, and the Churkin/Lavrov political pipeline.
Johan Eliasch, Swedish billionaire and Chairman/CEO of Head N.V. (sports equipment), served as an Advisor to Ghislaine Maxwell's TerraMar Project (EFTA01111030) — the ocean conservation nonprofit that shut down in July 2019 after Epstein's arrest.
In a July 2009 email (EFTA00773135), when asked "What do we think of johann eliasch?" by an associate (in a thread with Reinaldo Avila da Silva), Epstein replied bluntly: "not the brightest bulb, strange women, however kind, and loyal."
An unverified FBI tip from July 2020 (EFTA00151180) alleged Eliasch had 3 aircraft and changed the tail number of his Falcon 900 to an Aruba registration after Epstein's arrest. The SDNY prosecutor noted: "I don't plan to reply unless you want me to."
Eliasch also served as Special Representative of the UK Prime Minister on deforestation — another connection between Epstein's network and British political establishment.
In June 2013 (EFTA00655560), Epstein's staff coordinated travel for a young woman to Rome. Teodorani's office provided car service from the train station, hotel arrangements at Hotel La Lunetta, dinner reservations, and a full chauffeur service for the duration of her stay.
A staff member wrote to Epstein: "This is so so nice. The driver makes a gigantic difference for these girls." Epstein had instructed: "no need to tell you to keep a close contact and coordinate celina trip to the restaurant on the beach."
In a separate email the same month (EFTA00873660), Teodorani — using his CNH Industrial corporate email — corresponded directly with Epstein about his "goddaughter" visiting Rome for shopping.
A June 2017 email chain reveals Epstein arranged to send at least two women to Rixos Premium Belek in Antalya, Turkey for a 10-day "training programme" at the Land of Legends Spa. The chain involves four parties:
Epstein had signed reservation forms at Rixos Premium Belek previously. This exchange occurred well after Epstein's 2008 sex offender conviction and Florida registration. Deutsche Bank records show a ,200 wire to Sultan Bin Sulayem one month later (Jul 2017).
Fabrice Aidan, a United Nations official (aidan@un.org) and later International Adviser at the Edmond de Rothschild Group, responded to a direct request from Epstein to help a woman named "Svetlana" obtain a visa.
The email chain from November 27, 2012:
The casual, terse exchange suggests this was not an unusual request between them. Aidan's institutional access at the UN and his role as contact for the International Peace Institute (IPI) under Terje Rød-Larsen gave him diplomatic connections useful for visa facilitation.
Aidan appears in 271 documents across datasets 9–11. He was in Epstein's Mac AddressBook (EFTA00506602), coordinated logistics between Epstein and Rød-Larsen, arranged dinners at Epstein's Paris apartment, and attended an "IMPORTANT Dinner Party" at Epstein's townhouse alongside Ehud Barak, Rød-Larsen, Peter Attia, and the President of Mongolia (EFTA00338727, Sep 2015).
Account statements in the EFTA corpus reveal Jeffrey Epstein maintained an international banking network spanning at least 5 European countries, with wire transfers marked "PAID TO: JEFFREY EPSTEIN CONFIDENTIAL" through custodial accounts at State Street Bank.
Banks identified in EFTA00169211:
Additional FX transfers documented in EFTA01253920 and EFTA01253900 confirm ongoing Swedbank and Societe Generale activity through 2017.
Banca del Fucino is notably named in a FinCEN Suspicious Activity Report (EFTA00151209) alongside the J Epstein Foundation, Butterfly Trust, and JP Morgan Chase — indicating federal investigators were aware of the Italian banking connection.
The Lithuanian IBAN at Swedbank is significant given Swedbank's subsequent $386M fine (2020) for Baltic money laundering failures. The pattern of small, regular transfers to multiple European banks suggests either personal expense management across properties, or a deliberate strategy to distribute assets across jurisdictions.
Multiple civil complaints in the EFTA corpus allege Epstein trafficked minors from Turkey:
Separately, victim testimony in the USVI/JPMC cases (1:22-cv-10904-JSR) states:
This corroborates the Rixos Hotels "training programme" documented in the June 2017 email chain.
Epstein's financial documents show active investment in the Turkish banking sector:
Epstein also brokered a 50K Turkish Central Bank consulting engagement for Larry Summers in 2017 (see separate finding).
On April 19, 2012, an unidentified contact emailed Epstein (jeevacation@gmail.com) marked Importance: High:
"I'm in Istanbul, private meeting of asian, middle eastern + north african families. Apparently Donald Trump is also in town today to open the Trump Tower Istanbul."
This email — from the House Oversight Seventh Production (page HOUSE OVERSIGHT 033162) — places Epstein's network at an elite private gathering in Istanbul during the peak of his Istanbul travel (CBP records show 15 trips in 2012 alone). The Trump Tower Istanbul did open in April 2012, anchoring the date.
In an April 2015 email, a contact who attended a "Turkish-Arab economic forum" ("Middle Eastern WEF") in Istanbul the previous week wrote to Epstein offering to introduce two women:
The pattern — offering women to Epstein alongside financial requests, from international settings — matches documented recruitment methods.
