Business

Former head of IDF signals-intelligence Unit 8200 and former director general of Israel's Ministry of Defense; director and shareholder of Reporty Homeland Security Ltd. (renamed Carbyne in 2018), the company in which Jeffrey Epstein held a concealed stake brokered by Ehud Barak. Appears in 41 documents. A January 2016 company deck (EFTA00601120) lists him on the board as 'Director & Shareholder' alongside Barak as 'Chairman & Investor'. In December 2014 Barak asked Jeffrey Epstein for a Skype call with 'Pinhas Buchris of Reporty' (EFTA00625467), and Buchris appears in the Skype contact list extracted from Jeffrey Epstein's own device (EFTA00506887). Barak nevertheless told Jeffrey Epstein and Nicole Junkermann in February 2016 that 'neither Amir nor Buchris are fully aware of your partnership with me' (EFTA02704430), placing Buchris on the far side of the concealment despite sitting on the board.
