The charitable vehicle Jeffrey Epstein used after his 2008 conviction. Its own filed returns, read from the page images, show what it actually did: in 2015 it received $10,003,000 and paid out nothing at all, and in 2016 it gave away $580,000 while booking $290,805 of other expenses. Leon Black routed $10,000,000 into it under a memo marked 'DO NOT SEND, hand deliver' that spells out a 37% tax saving; Deutsche Bank ran a secret reputational-risk review of it while telling the client otherwise; and $375,000 moved from it to IPI through Richard Kahn.
Two copies of the 2016 return are in the corpus and they are redacted differently: EFTA01345259 blacks out every figure, EFTA01345290 shows all of them. The figures here come from the copy that was not redacted.
| 2015 return | Received $10,003,000. Paid $0 in grants. Assets at year end $10,006,564. A Schedule B naming the contributors was required and filed. |
|---|---|
| Who funded it in 2015 | BV70 LLC, of 445 Park Avenue, New York - the only name on the foundation's own Schedule B of substantial contributors for that year. BV70 is Leon Black's company, and 445 Park Avenue Suite 1401 is the address of Elysium Management, his family office. |
| 2016 return | Paid $580,000 in grants against $290,805 of other expenses. Revenue $134,178. Assets at year end $9,385,495. |
| Source | Form 990-PF for 2015 (DLN 93491314001026) and 2016 (DLN 93491135015217), transcribed from the page images. Both returns reconcile internally. |
Being named in these records is not by itself an allegation about anyone listed.

Showing the first 60 of 387. This is an exact-phrase count over the scanned text, so it undercounts: the scanning breaks words across line ends, and a document that spells the name differently is not matched. Search the corpus for it.
