Jeffrey Epstein 's Paris household manager and chef at 22 Avenue Foch . Brazilian national. His surname is spelled inconsistently across the corpus, the police/immigration record gives "COTRIN, VALDSON VIEIRA" (EFTA00176235 ) while the 1953 Trust names "VALDSON VIERA CONTRIN" (EFTA01266204 ), but these are one person, and the two former person pages have been merged. Far more than a driver: he planned menus and cooked, met guests at airports, acted as gatekeeper for access to the Paris apartment, coordinated young women's travel, and handled FedEx between Paris and 457 Madison Avenue in New York. He was in direct email and Skype contact with Jeffrey Epstein , travelled between Paris, New York and Little St. James , and was left $5,000,000 in Jeffrey Epstein 's 1953 Trust.
