Jeffrey Epstein 
Jeffrey Edward Epstein (flpstin/ EP-steenAl January 
20, 1953 — August to, 2019) was an American financier and 
convicted sex offender.13)[4] Epstein, who was born and raised 
in Brooklyn, New York Citr, began his professional life by 
teaching at the Dalton School in Manhattan, despite lacking a 
college degree. After his dismiccsl from the school, he entered 
the banking and finance sector, working at Bear Stearns in 
various roles; he eventually started his own firm. Epstein 
developed an elite social circle and procured many women and 
children; he and some of his associates then sexually abused

Epstein attended local public schools, first attending Public School 188, and then Mark Twain 
Junior High School nearby. gl In 1967, Epstein attended the National Music Camp at the 
Interlochen Center for the Axts.fa91 He began playing the piano when he was five. 1321 He graduated 
in 1969 from Lafayette High School at age 16, having skipped two grades.(311[321 Later that year, he 
attended classes at Cooper Union until he changed colleges in 1.97113-1] From September 1971, he 
attended the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, but left without 
receiving a degree in June 1.974.131"

Career 
Teaching 
Epstein started working in September 1974 as a physics and mathematics teacher for teens at the 
Dalton SchooLon the Upper East Side of Manhattan.[M[331 Donald Barr, who served as the 
headmaster until June 1974, 
was known to have made several unconventional 
recruitments at the time, although it is unclear whether he had a direct role in hiring 
Epstein.(3331373[381 Three months after Barr's departure, Epstein began to teach at the school, 
despite his lack of credentials. s1 Epstein allegedly showed inappropriate behavior toward 
underage students at the time.(33][37] He became acquainted with Alan Greenberg, the chief 
executive officer of Bear Steams, whose son and daughter were attending the school. Greenberg's 
daughter, Lynne Koeppel, pointed to a parent-teacher conference where Epstein influenced 
another Dalton parent into advocating for him to Greenberg.(15-1 In June 1976, after Epstein was 
dismissed from Dalton for "poor performance",[333[393[03 Greenberg offered him a job at Bear 
Stearns.E3°R41 
Banking 
Epstein joined Bear Stearns in 1976 as a low-level junior assistant to a floor trader.M He swiftly 
moved up to become an options trader, working in the special products division, and then advised 
the bank's wealthiest clients, such as Seagram president Edgar Bronfman, on tax mitigation 
strategies.b2H43)[44 Jimmy Cayne, the bank's later chief executive officer, praised Epstein's skill 
with wealthy clients and complex products. In 1980, four years after joining Bear Stearns, Epstein 
became a limited partner.A 
In 1981, he was asked to leave Bear Stearns for, according to his sworn testimony, being guilty of a 
"Reg D violation".(451 321130) Even though Epstein departed abruptly, he remained close to Cayne 
and Greenberg and was a client of Bear Stearns until its collapse in 2ootial 
Financial consulting 
In August 1981, Epstein founded his own consulting firm, Intercontinental Assets Group Inc. 
(IAG),1461 which assisted clients in recovering stolen money from fraudulent brokers and 
lawyers.E3"1 Epstein described his work at this time as being a high-level bounty hunter. He told 
friends that he worked sometimes as a consultant for governments and the very wealthy to recover 
embezzled funds, while at other times he worked for clients who had embezzled fimds.a9-1[421

Epstein also stated to some people at the time that he was an 
intelligence agent[493 During the 1980s, Epstein possessed an 
Austrian passport that had his photo, but with a false name. 
The pssr_t showed his place of residence in Saudi
Arabia-W*5'J In 2017 "a former senior White House official" 
reported that Alexander Acosta, the U.S. Attorney for the 
Southern District of Florida who had handled Epstein's 
criminal case in 2008, had stated to Trump transition 
interviewers, that "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' 
and to 'leave it alone'", and that Epstein was "above his pay 
grade".[521[531 
During this period, one of Epstein's clients was the Saudi 
Arabian businessman Adnan Khashoggi, who was the 
middleman in transferring American weapons from Israel to Iran, as part of the Iran-Contra affair 
in the 1.980s.N-Khashoggi was one of several defense contractors that he knew (3°1[49] In the mid-
19805, Epstein traveled multiple times between the United States, Europe, and Southwest 
Asia.(5°1[50 While in London, Epstein met Steven Hoffenberg. They had been introduced through 
Douglas Leese, a defense contractor, and John Mitchell, the former U.S. Attorney General.Ll°1 
Towers Financial Corporation 
Epstein in 1980 
Steven Hoffenberg hired Epstein in 19872 as a consultant for Towers Financial Corporation 
(unaffiliated with the company of the same name founded in 1998, and acquired by Old National 
Bancorp in 201.4),IM-1 
e  agency that bought debts people owed to hospitals, banks, and 
phone companies.1551[56 Hoffenberg set Epstein up in offices in the "Villard Houses" in 
Manhattan and paid him US$23,000 per month for his consulting work (equivalent to $60,000 in 
2o21).E3LA 
Hoffenberg and Epstein then refashioned themselves as corporate raiders using Towers Financial 
as their raiding vessel. One of Epstein's first assignments for Hoffenberg was to implement what 
turned out to be an unsuccessful bid to take over Pan American World Airways in 1987. A similar 
unsuccessful bid in 1988,was made to take over Emery Air Freight Corp. During this period, 
Hoffenberg and Epstein worked closely together and traveled everywhere on Hoffenberg's private 
jet.1321 
In 1993, Towers Financial Corporation imploded when it was revealed as being one of the biggest 
Ponzi schemes in American history, losing its investors over US$43o million (equivalent to 
$844,126,000 in 2021).(a21 In court documents, Hoffenberg claimed that Epstein was intimately 
involved in the scheme.M[58] Epstein left the company by 1989 and was never charged for being 
involved with the massive investor fraud committed. It is unknown if Epstein acquired any stolen 
funds from the Towers Ponzi scheme.M 
Financial management firm 
In 1988, while Epstein was still consulting for Hoffenberg, he founded his own financial 
management firm, J. Epstein & Company. 6 
6 The company was said by Epstein to have been 
formed to manage the assets of clients with more than US$1 billion in net worth, although others 
have expressed skepticism that he was restrictive of the clients that he took.134

Jeffrey Epstein - Wildest/a 
The only publicly known billionaire client of Epstein was Leslie 
Wexner, chairman and CEO of L Brands (formerly The 
Limited, Inc.) and Victoria's Secret.(3°)[593 In 1986, Epstein 
met Wexner through their mutual acquaintances, insurance 
executive Robert Meister and his wife, in Palm Beach, Florida. 
A year later, Epstein became Wexner's financial adviser and 
served as his right-hand man. Within the year, Epstein had 
sorted out Wexner's entangled finances.[321(O01 In July 1991, 
Wexner granted Epstein full power of attorney over his affairs. 
The power of attorney allowed Epstein to hire people, sign 
checks, buy and sell properties, borrow money, and do 
anything else of a legally binding nature on Wexner's 
behalf.M 
Epstein managed Wexner's wealth 
and different projects such as the 
building of his yacht the 
Limitless.M 
By 1995, Epstein was a director of the Wexner Foundation and Wexner Heritage Foundation. He 
was also the president of Wexner's Property, which developed part of the town of New Albany 
outside Columbus, Ohio, where Wexner lived. Epstein made millions in fees by managing 
Wexner's financial affairs. Although never employed by L Brands, he corresponded frequently with 
the company executives. Epstein often attended Victoria's Secret fashion shows, and hosted the 
models at his New York City home, as well as helping aspiring models get work with the 
company.r§p1F611 
In 1996, Epstein changed the name of his firm to the Financial Trust Company[321 and, for tax 
advantages, based it on the island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. 
By relocating to the 
U.S. Virgin Islands, Epstein was able to reduce federal income taxes by 90 percent. The U.S. Virgin 
Islands acted as an offshore tax haven, while at the same time offering the advantages of being part 
of the United States banking system. 
Media activities 
In 2003, Epstein bid to acquire New York magazine.M Other bidders included advertising 
executive Donny Deutsch, investor Nelson Peitz, media mogul and New York Daily News 
publisher Mortimer Zuckerman, and film producer Harvey Weinstein. The ultimate buyer was 
Bruce Wasserstein, a longtime Wall Street investment banker, who paid US$5,5 million. 6P-1 
In 2004, Epstein and Zuckerman committed up to US$25 million to finance Radar, a celebrity and 
pop culture magazine founded by Maer Roshan. Epstein and Zuckerman were equal partners in 
the venture. Roshan, as its editor-in-chief, retained a small ownership stake. It folded after three 
issues as a print publication and became exclusively an online one.M 
Liquid Funding Ltd. 
Epstein was the president of the company Liquid Funding Ltd. between 2000 and 2007.1651[661 
The company was an early pioneer in expanding the kind of debt that could be accepted on 
repurchase, or the repo market, which involves a lender giving money to a borrower in exchange 
for securities that the borrower then agrees to buy back at an agreed-upon later time and price. 
The innovation of Liquid Funding, and other early companies, was that instead of having stocks 
and bonds as the underlying securities, it had commercial mortgages and investment-grade 
residential mortgages bundled into complex securities as the underlying security.M

Liquid Funding was initially 4o percent owned by Bear Stearns. Through the help of the credit 
rating agencies - Standard & Poor's, Fitch Ratings and Moody's Investors Service — the new 
bundled securities were able to be created for companies so that they got a gold-plated AAA rating. 
The implosion of such complex securities, because of their inaccurate ratings, led to the collapse of 
Bear Stearns in March 2008 and set in motion the financial crisis of 2007-2008 and the 
subsequent Great Recession. If Liquid Funding were left holding large amounts of such securities 
as collateral, it could have lost large amounts of money.MX 
Investments 
Hedge funds 
Between 2002 and 2005, Epstein invested $8o million in the D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities 
Fund, a hedge fund that invested in illiquid debt securities (6O 691 In November 2006, Epstein 
attempted to redeem his investment after he was informed of accounting irregularities in the 
fund. o1 By this time, his investment had grown to $140 million. The D.B. Zwirn fund refused to 
redeem the investment. Hedge funds that invest in illiquid securities typically have years-long 
lockups* on their capital for all investors and require redemption requests to be made in writing 
6o to 90 days in advanceJl The fund was closed in 2008, and its remaining assets of 
approximately $2 billion, including Epstein's investment, were transferred to Fortress Investment 
Group when that firm bought the assets in 2009.[681 69) Epstein later went to arbitration with 
Fortress over his redemption attempt. The outcome of that arbitration is not publicly 'mown. Vgg 
In August 2006, Epstein, a month after the federal 
investigation of him began,[Thi invested $57 million in the Bear 
Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced

meet the redemptions that month began a repricing process 
and general freeze in the CDO market. The repricing of the CDO assets caused the collapse of the 
fund three months later in July, and the eventual cow  of Bear Stearns in March 2008. It is 
likely Epstein lost most of this investment, but it is not known how much was his.t73J172I
By the time that the Bear Stearns fund began to fail in May 2007, Epstein had begun to negotiate a 
plea deal with the U.S. Attorney's Office concerning imminent charges for sex with minors.(681[713
In August 2007, a month after the fund collapsed, the U.S. attorney in Miami, Alexander Acosta, 
entered into direct disdissions about the plea agreementJal Acosta brokered a lenient deal, 
according to him, because he had been ordered by higher government officials, who told him that 
Epstein was an individual of importance to the government(52)1 
As part of the negotiations, 
according to the Miami Herald, Epstein provided "unspecified information" to the Florida federal 
prosecutors for a more lenient sentence and was supposedly an unnamed key witness for the New 
York federal prosecutors in their unsuccessful June 2008 criminal case against the two managers

case, told Fox Business Network "We would have been touti

idea that Epstein helped in any prosecution is news to me."[' 68
Israeli startup 
In 2015, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Epstein invested in the startup Reporty 
Homeland Security (rebranded as Carbyne in 2018).(Z61(717131 The startup is connected with 
Israel's defense industry. It is headed by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who was also 
at one time the defense minister, and chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The CEO of 
the company is Amir Elihai who was a special forces officer, and Pinchas Bukhris, who is a director 
of the company, was at one time the defense ministry director general and commander of the IDF 
cyber unit 8200.E Epstein and Barak, the head of Carbyne, were dose, and Epstein often offered 
him lodging at one of his apartment units at 301 East 66th Street in Manhattan.ta°li$'1 Epstein had 
past experience with Israel's research and military sector. Ss  In April 2008, he went to Israel and 
met with a number of research scientists and visited different Israeli military bases. 82  During this 
trip, he thought about staying in Israel in order to avoid trial, and possible jail, for charges he was 
facing for sex crimes; however, he opted to return to the United StatesP 
Video recordings 
Epstein installed concealed cameras in numerous places on his properties to allegedly record 
sexual activity with underage girls by prominent people for criminal purposes such as 
blackmail $ Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's close companion, told a Mend that Epstein's private 
island in the Virgin Islands was completely wired for video and the friend believed that Maxwell 
and Epstein were videotaping everyone on the island as an insurance policy.185J When police 
raided his Palm Beach residence in 2006, two hidden pinhole cameras were discovered in his 
home. 86  It was also reported that Epstein's mansion in New York was wired extensively with a 
video surveillance system.Q3Z1 
 
 an artist who worked for Epstein in 1996, noted that Epstein showed her a media 
room in the New York mansion where there were individuals monitoring the pinhole cameras 
throughout the house. The media room was accessed through a hidden door. She stated that in the 
media room "there were men sitting here. And I looked on the cameras, and I saw toilet, toilet, 
bed, bed, toilet, bed." She added that "It was very obvious that they were, like, monitoring private

possible blackmail information. 891 According to the Department of Justice, he kept compact discs 
locked in his safe in his New York mansion with handwritten labels  that included the descnption:

information about their sexual proclivities and recreational drug use.1211

In March 2005, a woman contacted Florida's Palm Beach Police 
Department and alleged that her 14-year-old stepdaughter had been 
taken to Epstein's mansion by an older girl. While there, she was 
allegedly paid $300 (equivalent to $42o in 2O21) to strip and massage 
Epstein OA She had allegedly undressed, but left the encounter 
wearing her underwear.(93) 
Palm Beach Police began a 13-month undercover investigation of 
Epstein, including a search of his home.N[94] During the 
investigation, Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter publicly 
accused the Palm Beach County state prosecutor, Barry ICrischer, of 
being too lenient and called for help from the FBI.[J 
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) then became involved. 
Subsequently, the police alleged that Epstein had paid several girls to 
perform sexual acts with him 1139-1 Interviews with five alleged victims and 17 witnesses under oath, 
a high-school transcript and other items found in Epstein's trash and home allegedly showed that 
some of the girls involved were under 18, the youngest being 14, with many under 16.(951[96] The 
police search of Epstein's home found two hidden cameras and large numbers of photos of girls 
throughout the house some of whom the police had interviewed in the course of their 
investigation.La 
, a former model from Poland who became an Epstein assistant, 
reportedly removed computer drives and other electronic equipment from the financier's Florida 
mansion before Palm Beach Police searched the home as part of their investigation. M The court 
documents record that a search of Epstein's residence by Palm Beach Police detective Joseph 
Recarey in 2005 uncovered an incriminating Amazon receipt containing books on S&M. The books 
he ordered are titled: SM ion A Realistic Introduction, SlaveCraft: Roadmaps for Erotic 
Servitude — Principles, Skills and Tools and Training with Miss Abernathy: A Workbook for 
Erotic Slaves and Their Owners.1-9-§] 
A former employee told the police that Epstein would receive massages three times a day.[231

girls were recruited from Brazil and other South American countries, former Soviet countries, and 
Europe, and that Jean-Luc Brunel's "MC2" modeling agency was also supplying girls to

In May 2006, Palm Beach police filed a probable cause affidavit saying that Epstein should be 
charged with four counts of unlawful sex with minors and one count of sexual abuse.1933[1°3] On 
July 27, 2006, Epstein was arrested by the Palm Beach Police Department on state felony charges 
of procuring a minor for prostitution and solicitation of a prostitute. He was booked at the Palm

Non-prosecution agreement (NPA) (2006-2008) 
In July 2006, the FBI began its own investigation of Epstein, 
nicknamed "Operation Leap year".Cal It resulted in a 53-page 
indictment in June 2007.1,21Alexander Acosta, then the U.S. Attorney 
for the Southern District of Florida, agreed to a plea deal, which Alan 
Dershowitz helped to negotiate,tud to grant immunity from all federal 
criminal charges to Epstein, along with four named co-conspirators 
and any unnamed "potential co-conspirators". According to the 
Miami Herald, the non-prosecution agreement "essentially shut down 
an ongoing FBI probe into whether there were more victims and other 
powerful people who took part in  Epstein's sex crimes". At the time, 
this halted the investigation and sealed the indictment. The Miami 
Herald said: "Acosta agreed, despite a federal law to the contrary, that 
the deal would be kept from the victims."IU 
The controversial non-
prosecution agreement 
Acosta later said-he offered a lenient plea deal because he was told 
that Epstein "belonged to intelligence", was "above his pay grade" and to "leave it 
2115,S2j Epstein agreed to plead guilty in Florida state court to two felony prostitution 
charges, serve i8 months in prison, register as a sex offender, and pay restitution to three dozen 
victims identified by the FBI.M891The plea deal was later described as a "sweetheart deal" (1131 
A federal judge later found that the prosecutors had violated 
the victims' rights in that they had concealed the agreement 
from the victims and instead urged them to have 
"patience" .1141(115) 
According to an internal review conducted by the Department 
of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility, which was 
released in November 2020, Acosta showed "poor judgment" 
in granting Epstein a non-prosecution agreement and failing 
to notify Epstein's alleged victims about this agreement.EMO

convicted sex offenders in Florida are sent to state prison, Epstein was instead housed in a private 
wing of the Palm Beach County Stockade and, according to the sheriffs office, was after 
3Y2 months allowed to leave the jail on "work release" for up to 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. This 
contravened the sheriffs own policies requiring a maximum remaining sentence of to months and 
making sex offenders ineligible for the privilege. He was allowed to come and go outside of 
specified release hours.E15' 1

Epstein's cell door was left unlocked, and he had access to the attorney room where a television 
was installed for him, btfore he was moved to the Stockade's previously unstaffed infirmary. He 
worked at the office of a foundation he had created shortly before reporting to jail; he dissolved it 
after he had served his time. The Sheriffs Office received $128,000 from Epstein's non-profit to 
pay for the costs of extra services being provided during his work release. His office was monitored 
by "permit deputies" whose overtime was paid by Epstein. They were required to wear suits, and 
checked in "welcomed guests" at the "front desk". Later the Sheriffs Office said these guest logs 
were destroyed per the department's "records retention" rules (although inexplicably the Stockade 
visitor logs were not).ELIB He was allowed to use his own driver to drive him between jail and his 
office and other appointments [1001(1181

Epstein served almost 13 months before being released on July 
22, 2009, for a year of probation on house arrest until August 
2010.11191[120]11211 While on probation he was allowed 
numerous trips on his corporate jet to his residences in 
Manhattan and the U.S. Virgin Islands. He was allowed long 
shopping trips and to walk around Palm Beach "for 
exercise" DIM 
After a contested hearing in January 2011, and an appeal, he 
stayed registered in New York State as a "level three" (high risk 
of repeat offense) sex offender, a lifelong designation.I122N1231 
At that hearing the Manhattan District Attorney argued 
unsuengsfully that the level should be reduced to a low-risk 
level one" and was chided by the judge. Despite opposition 
from Epstein's lawyer that he had a "main" home in the U.S. 
Virgin Islands; the judge confirmed he personally must check 
in with the New York Police Department every 90 days. 
Though Epstein had been a level-three registered sex offender 
in New York since 2010, the New York Police Department 
never enforced the 90-day regulation, though non-compliance 
is a felony.M

The immunity agreement and his lenient treatment were the subject of ongoing public dispute. 
The Palm Beach police chief accused the state of giving him preferential treatment,E9-2-1 and the 
Miami Herald said U.S. Attorney Acosta gave Epstein "the deal of a lifetime".W Following 
Epstein's arrest in Jul7 2019, on sex trafficking charges, Acosta resigned as Secretary of Labor 
effective July 19, 2019.1
After the accusations became public, several persons and institutions returned donations that they 
had received from Epstein, including Eliot Spitzer, Bill Ftichardson,(1251 and the Palm Beach Police 
Department.[96] Harvard University announced it would not return any money.Ensi Various 
charitable donations that Epstein had made to finance children's education were also 
questioned. 11
On June 18, 2010, Epstein's former house manager, Alfredo Rodriguez, was sentenced to 
18 months' incarceration after being convicted on an obstruction charge for failing to turn over to 
police, and subsequently trying to sell a journal in which he had recorded Epstein's activities. FBI

As a result of 
allegations and Maxwell's comments about them, 
sued Maxwell for 
defamation in September 2015. After much legal confrontation, the case was settled under seal in 
May 2017. The Miami Herald, other media, and Alan Dershowitz filed to have the documents 
about the settlement unsealed. After the judge dismissed their request, the matter was appealed to 
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit [k531 
On March 11, 2019, in the appeal otct 
judge's refusal to unseal the documents relating to 
the 2017 defamation settlement of

week to provide good cause as to why they should remain under seal, without which they would be 
unsealed on March 19, 2019. Later the Court ordered these documents to be unsealed (after having 
them redacted to protect innocent parties). In 
testimony, she claims that she was 
"directed" by Maxwell to give erotic massages and engage in sexual activities with Prince Andrew;

On August 9, less than 24 hours before Epstein's death, 2,000 pages of previously sealed 
documents from the case were released. Two sets of additional sealed documents will be analyzed 
by a federal judge to determine whether they should also be made public. A "John Doe" asked the 
judge on September 3 to permanently keep the documents secret, claiming "unproven allegations 
of impropriety" could damage his reputation, though he had no evidence his name was 
included.i155] 
Jane Doe v. Epstein and Trump (2016) 
A federal lawsuit filed in California in April 2016, against Epstein and Donald Trump by a 
California woman alleged that the two men sexually assaulted her at a series of parties at Epstein's 
Manhattan residence in 1994, when she was 13 years old. The suit was dismissed by a federal judge 
in May 2016 because it did not raise valid claims under federal law. The woman filed another 
federal suit in New York in June 2016, but it was withdrawn three months later, apparently 
without being served ontthe defendants. A third federal suit was filed in New York in September 
2016. 
The two latter suits included affidavits by an anonymous witness who attested to the accusations 
in the suits, asserting Epstein employed her to procure underage girls for him, and an anonymous 
person who declared the plaintiff had told him/her about the assaults at the time they occurred.

On July 8, prosecutors with the Public Corruption Unit of the Southern District  of New York 
charged him with sex trafficking and conspiracy to traffic minors for sex. The grand jury

1995, Epstein renamed one of his companies the Ghislaine Corporation in Palm Beach, Florida; 
the company was dissolved in 1998.11851 In 2000, Maxwell moved into a 7,000-square-foot 
townhouse, less than io blocks from Epstein's New York mansion. This townhome was purchased 
for $4.95 million by an anonymous limited liability company, with an address that matches the 
office of J. Epstein & Co. Representing the buyer was Darren Indyke, Epstein's longtime 
lawyer. ka In a 2003 Vanity Fair expose, Epstein refers to Maxwell as "my best friend".13-21 
Epstein was a longtime acquaintance of Prince Andrew and Tom Barrack, 19 and attended 
parties with many prominent people, including Bill Clinton, George Stephanopoulos, Donald 
Trump, 211  Katie Comic, Woody Allen,[2121 and Harvey Weinstein.12131 His contacts included 
Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, Richard Branson, Michael Jackson, Alec Baldwin and the 
ICennedys.(2141 His contacts also included Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, British
minister Toa, 
and Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.121 ] 216 21 Both 
Clinton(218i and Trump(319-1 claimed that they never visited Epstein's island. 
Epstein owned a -private Boeing 727 jet and traveled in it frequently, logging "boo flying hours a 
year ... usually with guests on board".1a221 The jet was nicknamed the Lolita Express by the locals 
in the Virgin Islands, because of its frequent arrivals at Little Saint James with apparently 
underage girls. 221 In 2003, Epstein flew to Cuba aboard his plane with Colombian president 
Andres Pastrana Arango at the invitation of Cuban president Fidel Castro. According to Fabiola 
Santiago of the Miami Herald, Epstein was likely considering relocating to Cuba in order to escape 
U.S. law enforcement; Epstein was under investigation from U.S. law enforcement at the time. 2221 
In 2009, Epstein's brother Mark claimed 'frump had flown on Epstein's plane at least once. He 
later told The Washington Post that Trump flew "numerous times" on Epstein's airplane, although 
Mark was present on only one of the flights.1S-3-1[224l According to Michael Corcoran, Trump flew 
Epstein on his own airplane at least once.(22.91 In September 2002, Epstein flew Clinton, Kevin

airplane, making stops on three continents, all with his staff and Secret Service detail.kni At the 
time of Epstein's 2019 arrest, Clinton's spokeswoman Angel Urecla stated that Clinton had "not 
spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein's 
ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida "En(?) 
In a- profile of Epstein in New York magazine in 2002, former 
Democratic Senate leader George J. Mitchell said of Epstein, "I 
would certainly call him a friend and a supporter". In the same 
article, Donald Trump remarked, "I've known Jeff for fifteen 
years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said 
that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of 
them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey 
enjoys his social life."k311 In July 2019, Trump said "I knew 
him like everybody in 'Palm Beach knew him," stating four 
times he had not been "a fan" of Epstein and that he had not 
spoken to him in about fifteen years. A video shot in 1992 
surfaced showing the two men partying together at Mar-a-
Lagoi;321 23312341[235] By 2007, Trump reportedly banned 
Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago dub for unseemly pursuit of young females.(2-38 [2371(2381(239 The 
ban allegation was included in court documents filed by attorney Bradley Edwards,i~4O1 although

Jeffrey Epstein - Wilopeche 
BM Clinton lauded Epstein as "a committed philanthropist" with "insights and generosity" [243/ At 
the time Epstein was on the board of Rockefeller University, a member of the Trilateral 
Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations, and was a major donor to Harvard 
University.[321
Epstein visited the White House while Clinton was president on four known occasions [2441 In 
1993, he went to a donor event at the White House with his companion Ghislaine Maxwell. Around 
the same time, he also met with President Clinton's aide Mark Middleton on at least three 
°era sions at the White House. In 1995, financier Lynn Forester discussed "Jeffrey Epstein and 
currency stabilization" with Clinton [2441 Epstein, according to his own accounts, was heavily 
involved in the forei: exchan e market and traded large amounts of currency in the unregulated 
forex market. ° 2 In 1995, Epstein also attended a small political fundraiser dinner for Bill 
Clinton which included 14 other people including Ron Perelman, Don Johnson, Jimmy Buffett, 
and dinner organizer Paul Prosperi.12451
From the 19QOS to mid-2000s, Epstein often socialized with the future President Donald 
Trump. [Mg Author Michael Wolff wrote that Trump, Epstein, and Tom Barrack were at the time 
like a "set of nightlife musketeers" on the social scene [63E2473 Epstelp and Trump socialized both in 
New York City and Palm Beach, where they both had houses).234112461 In April 2003, New York
magazine reported Epstein hosted a dinner party in his Manhattan residence to honor Bill Clinton, 
who did not attend, although Trump did attend.l~4s1 According to The Washington Post, one 
person who knew Epstein and Trump during this time noted that "they were tight" and "they were 
each other's wingmen". In November 2004, Epstein and Trump's friendship ran into trouble when 
they became embroiled in a bidding war for a $40 million mansion, Maison de L'Amitie, which 
was being auctioned in Palm Beach. Trump won the auction for $41 million, and successfully sold 
the property four years later for $95 million to the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev. That 
month was the last time Epstein and Trump were recorded to have interacted.[2231
Wealth 
The ,exact origin of Epstein's wealth is unknownfral Leslie 
Wexner was one source of Epstein's original wealth.[241flin 
assistant of Epstein also stated that he got his fortune started 
through Robert Maxwell, the media mogul father of Ghislaine 
Maxwell. ragil 712511
When Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting and 
procuring prostitution, his lawyers stated he was a billionaire 
with a net worth of over one billion dollars.[2491 A number of 
sources, however, have questioned the extent of Epstein's 
wealth and his status as a billionaire. According to an article in 
The New York Times, his "fortune may be more illusion than 
fact". Epstein lost large sums of money" in the 2Oo8 financial 
crisis, and "friends and patrons"—including retail billionaire 
Leslie Wexner, "deserted. him" following his pleading guilty to prostitution charges in 2oo8.1.50 
New York magazine claimed that "there's scant proof" of Epstein's "financial bona fides",[M91 and 
Forbes also ran an article entitled "Why sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is not a billionaire". [2521
Spencer Kuvin, an attorney for three of Epstein's alleged victims in the case where Epstein pleaded 
guilty to sexual activity with minors, stated that "he and his team 'pursued every possible angle' to 
find out Epstein's net worth but found that much of his wealth is offshore."[2521 An investigation 
by the Miami Herald of the Swiss Inks documents indicated that Epstein had multiple financial 
accounts with millions of dollars in offshore tax havens. In the Paradise Papers, records showed

that Epstein in February 1997, became a client of Appleby, a Bermuda-based law firm which 
specialized in the creation of offshore companies and investment vehicles for the ultra-wealthy. A 
client profile of Epstein described his job cryptically as the "Manager of Fortune".m[661 
Federal prosecutors on July 12, 2019, stated in court documents that, based on records from one 
financial institution, that Jeffrey Epstein was "extravagantly wealthy" and had assets worth at least 
$500 million and earned more than $io million a year. The extent of his wealth, however, was not 
known, since he had not filled out a financial affidavit for his bail application.(253liami[150 
According to Bloomberg  News, "Today, so little is known about Epstein's current business or 
clients that the only things that can be valued with any certainty are his properties "1~561 The 
Miami Herald in their investigation of the Paradise Papers and Swiss Leaks documents concluded 
that Epstein's wealth is likely spread secretly across the globe) 51 
In 2020 Epstein estate's finances revealed that it had paid out nearly $50 million between June 
2020 and December 2020 to more than loo women who brought claims to the "Epstein Victims 
Compensation Fund" set up in the U.S. Virgin Islands.l~571 By February 2021, the estate was 
valued at about $240 million, down from estimates of $630 million a year earlier. This prompted 
the attorney general of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Denise George, to file an emergency motion seeking 
the immediate asset freeze. She contended in the court filing, which the victims joined, that the 
estate executors had "mismanaged" the money.IKD 
Residences

which he purchased from his mentor. 6i Before the Herbert Straus house was purchased, Wexner 
purchased in 1988 the adjacent townhouse at 11 East 71st Street. Like in the case of the 9 East 71st 
Street house, Epstein was on the deed of the 11 East 71st Street house as the trustee. The 
townhouse was sold in 1996 to the Comet trust which holds part of the assets of the de 
Gunzburg/Bronfman 
Epstein rented offices for his business dealings in the Villard House at 457 Madison Avenue.19-31 
Steven Hoffenberg originally set up the offices for Epstein in 1987 when he was consulting for 
Tower Financialiig Epstein used these offices until at least 2003. Around this time, Michael Wolff 
saw the financier in his office, which in the past were the offices of Random House12---T-Wolff noted 
that Epstein's offices were a strange place which did not have a corporate feel at all. Wolff stated 
that the offices were "almost European. It's old—old-fashioned, unrehabbed in its way." Wolff 
continued that "the trading floor is filled with guys in yarmulkes. Who they are, I have no idea. 
They're like a throwback, a bunch of guys from the fifties. So here is Jeffrey in this incredibly 
beautiful office, with pieces of art and a view of the courtyard, and he seems like the most relaxed 
guy in the world: You want to say What's going on here?' and he gives you that Cheshire smile."E9S 
Epstein rented multiple apartment units for his employees, models, and guests since the 1990s at 
301 East 66th Street. The majority of the apartment complex at this address is owned by Ossa 
properties, which is owned by Jeffrey Epstein's brother, Mark, who purchased the complex in the 
early 199os from Wexner. Over the years Epstein has housed different friends at 11 East 71st 
Street, including his ex-girlfriend Eva Andersson, who is now married to his hedge-fund friend 
Glenn Dubin, MC2 Models founder Jean-Luc Brunel, and on occasions former Israeli Prime 
Minister Ehud Barak. He has housed some of his workers, including his pilot, housekeeper and 
office work staff, in the apartment complex. Epstein has also housed qnderage girls, who Brunel 
scouted for his MC2 modeling agencyjklag On August 6, 2012, a model and party promoter 
associated with MC2, Pedro Gaspar, who lived above another of the modeling agency's locations in 
Manhattan, died of what some consider to be a suspicious drug overdose.faml 
Political donations 
From 1989 until 2003, Epstein donated more than $139,000 to U.S. Democratic Party federal 
candidates and committees and over $18,000 to U.S. Republican Party candidates and groups. [2721
Epstein contributed $50,000 to Democrat Bill Richardson's successful campaign for Governor of 
New Mexico in 2002 and again for his successful run for reelection in 2006. Also that year, he 
contributed $15,000 to Democrat Gary King's successful campaign for Attorney General of New 
Mexico. He later contributed $35,000 to King's 2014 unsuccessful campaign for Governor. Other 
contributions in New Mexico included Epstein $10,000 toward Jim Baca's campaign to become 
head of the land commission and $2,000 toward Santa Fe County Sheriff Jim Solano's bid for 
reelection. In 2010, Epstein received a notice from New Mexico Department of Public Safety which 
said, "You are not required to register [as a sex offender] with the state of New Mexico." This was 
in contravention of federal law, which would seem to say that the conviction in Florida required 
him to register in New Mexico.(2731 
Philanthropy 
In 1991, Epstein was one of four donors who pledged to raise US$2 million for a Hillel student 
building Rosovsky Hall at Harvard University.(2741[2751 In 2000, Epstein established the Jeffrey 
Epstein VI Foundation, which funds science research and education. Prior to 2003, the foundation 
funded Martin Nowak's research at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. In 
May 2003, Epstein pledged a series of donations totaling US$3o million to create a mathematical
