Associate

A passenger on Jeffrey Epstein's Boeing 727 and a named witness on both sides of Giuffre v. Maxwell. He flew TIST to JFK on 28 November 2005, flight 356 on N908JE, with Jeffrey Epstein, Andrea Mitrovich, Igor Zinoviev, Tatiana Kovylina, Juan Molyneux, Bill Hammond and Larry Morrison. Both parties later listed him among people with relevant knowledge: the plaintiff's disclosures describe him as having 'Knowledge of Defendant's conduct that is the subject of this action', and the defence disclosures as someone who 'may have knowledge concerning Plaintiff's false claims against Defendant'. Nothing in the corpus records what that knowledge was, and no document states his role.

Key Findings

  • Flight 356, 28 November 2005, TIST to JFK on the Boeing 727 N908JE, manifest 'JE, AM, SZ, MARK TAFOYA, JUAN MOLYNEUX' in the handwritten log (EFTA02846460 and the Maxwell log copy). The parsed flight record for the same leg names Jeffrey Epstein, AM, Igor Zinoviev, Mark Tafoya, Tatiana Kovylina, Juan Molyneux, Bill Hammond and Larry Morrison.
  • Giuffre v. Maxwell, plaintiff's Rule 26 disclosures (EFTA02780700 entry 84, and the same list at entry 59): 'Mark Tafoya, Address unknown at this time, Telephone number unknown at this time, Knowledge of Defendant's conduct that is the subject of this action.'
  • Giuffre v. Maxwell, defence disclosures (EFTA02782926 and EFTA02792797, entry 64): 'Mr. Tafoya may have knowledge concerning Plaintiff's false claims against Defendant.' Both sides listed him, which is the clearest signal in the corpus that he was understood to have been present for something.
  • EFTA02780382 (deposition): counsel put his name to a witness in a run of names including Ryan Dionne, David Mullen and Brent Tindall. The witness shook their head.
  • DATA NOTE: data/flight_logs.json spells him 'Mark Tagoya', an f read as g. That is why he had no computed flight record. The misspelling is carried here as an alias so the manifest resolves to this page.
