Between 2014 and 2018, Ehud Barak assembled a portfolio of Israeli security startups with Epstein as investor and advisor. One of those companies, Carbyne, was pitched to Sultan Bin Sulayem for port security during the same months Epstein was brokering the Nigeria ports deal.

The Security Machine: How Barak Built a Surveillance Portfolio on Epstein's Money

In 2012, a correspondent pitched Epstein on building a film studio in Somaliland called 'Somaliwood Studios.' The same year, separate pitches arrived for Somaliland water exports and a solid waste business. Epstein replied to the water pitch: 'I like it.'

On the night of September 14, 2014, Greg Wyler, the founder of African satellite-internet venture O3b, asked Epstein for time-sensitive context on a woman who wanted to talk to him that night. Epstein answered the next morning: she worked for the World Bank, knew Africa, and had been with the mobile king. The mobile king is Mo Ibrahim, the Sudanese-British billionaire who built Celtel into Africa's largest mobile operator. The woman was Melanie Walker, a Gates Foundation veteran then at the World Bank, married to former Microsoft Windows president Steve Sinofsky.

Between 2012 and 2013, Sultan Bin Sulayem moved through Africa and Central Asia: Angola, Gabon, Congo, Kazakhstan. He briefed Epstein from helicopters and energy summits. Epstein identified the financial angles and asked who to call.

Sultan's Scouting Operation: How Epstein Mapped a Continent

In late 2011, David Stern proposed an 'African investment vehicle' with Epstein as intermediary between Chinese capital and African governments. He had already pitched a Congo oil company to a Chinese state energy contact 'very confidentially,' and connected a Chinese billionaire with a British-Israeli property mogul over mobile payment technology he called 'perfect for Africa.'

Ariane de Rothschild

Vice Chair (now Chair), Edmond de Rothschild Group

Between 2013 and 2017, Ariane de Rothschild, vice chair of the Edmond de Rothschild Group, corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein across dozens of emails. Epstein introduced her to Sultan Bin Sulayem, provided a contact list for Ivory Coast and Qatar, offered private access to President Ouattara through his niece Nina Keita, and instructed his financial manager to build a reporting template for the Rothschild family's assets across Mozambique, Cameroon, and Paris.

How Epstein Brokered Ariane de Rothschild's Access to the President of Ivory Coast

From 2009 to 2019, Boris Nikolic served as Bill Gates's science advisor and as the private pipe through which Jeffrey Epstein ran intelligence to the Gates Foundation. Classified Gates-funded field reports on polio eradication in Nigeria, Somalia, Pakistan and Afghanistan flowed from Nasra Hassan through Terje Rød-Larsen to Epstein. One was marked "plz pass on to Bill Gates." The same channel carried Ariane de Rothschild's private contacts for Ivory Coast and Qatar, and structured $20 million investment deals between Gates and Nikolic with Epstein as architect. Two days before his death, Epstein named Nikolic backup executor of his estate.

DP World chairman Sultan Bin Sulayem attended Uhuru Kenyatta's 2013 inauguration as a personal guest, then returned in October 2014 to brief Epstein in real time on a three-hour Mombasa meeting that produced a multi-country logistics park serving Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, Central African Republic and Rwanda.

Sultan briefs Epstein on Kenyatta's regional logistics park

From 2010 to 2019, Sultan Bin Sulayem, chairman of Dubai ports operator DP World, used Jeffrey Epstein as a private audience for his African dealmaking. Across the decade Sultan briefed him from Kazakhstan helicopters, a Nairobi inauguration, a Dakar airport, and a Davos hotel room. The method was consistent: Sultan scouted presidents, Epstein opened rooms, the numbers rarely closed. Six months before Epstein was arrested, Sultan was still sending him itineraries signed off by the Saudi crown prince. He resigned as DP World chairman on February 13, 2026, fourteen days after the DOJ public release of the Epstein files.

In February 2018, Epstein told Steve Bannon he had been 'with Mabutu Seko, dictator of Zaire' in the mid-1980s, then sent him a photo of Mobutu. Bannon replied: 'we r on the cusp of real power.' Epstein corrected him: 'You not we.' Five months later, Epstein offered Bannon private access to Mubarak and Sisi in Cairo.

Sultan introduced Epstein to the President of Djibouti at the Waldorf Astoria. The same month, Epstein was socializing with Abdourahman Boreh, the president's rival. Sultan warned: 'Plz don't mention to Boreh you met Djibouti president as they both hate each other.' Epstein kept both relationships for seven years.

In September 2011 Epstein asked his flight team to plan a 14-leg trip with Equatorial Guinea as the African pivot before flying to his Caribbean island. When the flight desk asked which Equatorial Guinea city, his iPhone autocorrected the answer. Two years later Larry Summers asked him from an African economic forum if he knew the president of Equatorial Guinea, on a list of six African heads of state.

On January 23, 2019, Sultan Bin Sulayem emailed Jeffrey Epstein from Davos with a four-stop itinerary: Dubai, Eritrea, Jeddah for a DP World agreement signing in the presence of the Saudi crown prince, then Uganda and Tanzania. By that evening he reported back: "Amazing had a great meeting with Ethiopea PM." Six months later Epstein was arrested.

In July 2012, Epstein told his Yemeni business partner that his friend who 'owns a modeling agency' wanted to visit Ethiopia because 'he thinks there are interesting girls there.' Four days later Jean-Luc Brunel confirmed. Three years later, the same partner pitched Epstein a $20 million loan against Ethiopia's sole cigarette monopoly.

Ethiopia: Brunel Wanted 'Interesting Girls,' Epstein Wanted the Tobacco Monopoly

Between 2012 and 2018, Shaher Abdulhak, introduced by Sultan Bin Sulayem as 'the richest Yemeni,' corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein across at least 38 email threads. Epstein brokered a British QC for Abdulhak's son's criminal case, advised on an Ethiopian tobacco monopoly and a Coca-Cola plant bombed by the Saudi coalition, and facilitated shadow diplomacy on Yemen, including a meeting with UN envoy Terje Rod-Larsen and an introduction to Steve Bannon.

The Yemeni Billionaire Who Used Epstein as a Back-Channel

In May 2014, Epstein's foundation issued a press release claiming it helped launch artificial intelligence in Ethiopia. Three months later, the AI researcher who ran the lab wrote to Epstein's team: the foundation had never funded it. The articles were published anyway.

The AI Lab Epstein Never Funded

From 2005 to 2019, Daniel Siad scouted women for Jeffrey Epstein across four continents. Introduced by Jean-Luc Brunel, the French modeling agent later charged with sex trafficking, Siad sent photos and bank details from Paris, Stockholm, Bangkok, Ibiza, and by 2013 Cape Town. The trafficking infrastructure ran alongside Epstein's Africa business: Brunel wanted to fly to Ethiopia with Shaher Abdulhak, who held the country's tobacco monopoly. SDNY prosecutors flagged Siad's contact file in December 2018. Two months after Epstein's arrest the FBI traced a victim to South Africa, recruited there and flown to his Florida, New York and Virgin Islands residences.

In September 2002, the Clinton Foundation's scheduling office emailed Ghislaine Maxwell the full plane manifest for President Clinton's Africa trip, covering Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, Mozambique, and South Africa. The manifest excluded Maxwell's own 'package' of travelers. Three months later, the head of Clinton's AIDS initiative wrote directly to Maxwell about progress in Rwanda and Mozambique.

Between 2011 and 2014, Epstein used his connections to President Ouattara's niece to help Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak sell a mass surveillance system to Ivory Coast.

How Epstein Brokered a Mass Surveillance Deal for Ivory Coast

In February 2012, weeks after Epstein visited Abidjan and met President Ouattara, Leon Black's assistant at Apollo Management contacted Epstein's office to arrange a meeting between Black's associate and Ivory Coast's Minister of Mining. The minister left before any meeting took place.

Leon Black's Office Called Epstein to Reach Ivory Coast's Mining Minister

In October 2014, Epstein pitched Côte d'Ivoire's Goldman Sachs alum Minister of Budget Abdourahmane Cissé directly to former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. Summers replied with two questions: 'What does he want to talk about? How corrupt is he?' Nina Keita arranged the meeting in New York. Ten days later Cissé wrote back to Epstein thanking him.

From December 2010 to October 2014, Jeffrey Epstein ran a private channel into the presidency of Côte d'Ivoire through Alassane Ouattara's niece Nina Keita. After Ouattara won the post-election war, Epstein landed in Abidjan for two days with the president and his ministers. Within weeks Leon Black's office at Apollo was routing requests to the mining minister through Epstein's assistant. The Gates Foundation's Ivory Coast contact ran through him. Ehud Barak closed a 2014 mass-surveillance contract with the government. Epstein pitched Ouattara's Goldman alum budget minister to Larry Summers.

In 2009, Epstein and Peggy Siegal planned a Kenya safari for 21-year-old Miasha Fisher. Ghislaine Maxwell reviewed the full visa and itinerary package and asked what 'the work portion' was.

The Kenya Safari: What Epstein Asked of Miasha Fisher Before She Left

On December 19, 2009, Peggy Siegal boarded a plane for Kenya on Epstein's dime. From the gate she wrote him a thank-you note. At the end she offered to bring him back a Kenyan child. Boys or girls, she asked. "So Madonna."

"Can Bring a Little Baby Back for You.... or Two": Peggy Siegal's Email from the Gate

In November 2012, Lisa Emelia Svensson told Jeffrey Epstein she had been appointed Sweden's Ambassador for Ocean and Water. Epstein's response: 'read up and meet ghisaline.' Svensson asked: 'Who is Ghisaline?' Four years later she moved to Nairobi, started calling herself 'The African,' asked to stay in Epstein's Paris annex, and in March 2019 asked Epstein to help her route private philanthropic funding through an organization that could employ her.

In October 2010, Epstein emailed a royal aide about flying to Tripoli with Prince Andrew to access Gaddafi's billions. Nine months later Gaddafi was dead, and a new intermediary was pitching Epstein on the same prize, now frozen in Western banks.

Epstein, Prince Andrew, and the Race to Control Libya's Billions

Between June 2011 and June 2013, Gregory Brown, chairman of GlobalCast Partners, sent Jeffrey Epstein 42 emails urging him to invest in post-Gaddafi Libya. Brown offered access to TNC leaders, $80 billion in frozen sovereign funds, the Goldman Sachs settlement mandate, and a direct line to Libya's first elected president. Epstein never moved.

In late 2011, a Dubai-based fixer named Bill Conover pitched Epstein on post-Gaddafi Libya access and dealmaking. Epstein engaged quickly, calling back the same night and taking a breakfast meeting two weeks later. By March 2012 the thread had advanced to a stronger partner: the Al Otaiba group from Abu Dhabi, who had bankrolled the rebellion.

Bill Conover Offered Epstein "Total Access" to Post-Gaddafi Libya

Between October 2010 and June 2013, Jeffrey Epstein sat in the middle of three separate pitches for access to Libya's sovereign wealth. Prince Andrew arranged a Tripoli trip while a UAE banker was routing a $3 billion Libya-to-Dubai loan through Andrew's office. Gregory Brown of GlobalCast Partners sent 42 emails offering Libya's frozen $80 billion, the Goldman Sachs settlement mandate, and the country's first elected president. Bill Conover upgraded from "total access to the new gov" to the Al Otaiba group, principal financial sponsors of the rebellion. Epstein never moved. Libya's sovereign funds are still frozen.

In November 2011, Karim Wade, son of Senegal's president, offered to manage a harem in Epstein's planned Moroccan palace. Epstein replied he wanted 'a separate house for the women' and was copying Prince Bandar bin Sultan's Marrakech palace plans.

Mark Lloyd organized a private dinner for South African President Jacob Zuma at the Ritz Hotel in March 2010, inviting Russian models on Epstein's behalf. Five years later, he was requesting a $160,000 loan from Epstein, having already defaulted on a previous one. He also brokered Marrakech property, introduced Epstein to Joi Ito, and in December 2018 arranged 'hotel accommodations for the girls' in Morocco.

From 2010 to 2019, Epstein pursued Bin Ennakhil, a palace in Marrakech's Palmeraie, through a chain of Liechtenstein trusts and BVI shell companies. His own lawyers told him to walk away. He sent his girlfriend instead.

On August 4, 2016, Deepak Chopra wrote to Epstein: 'Only this morning I sniffed the wine of Moroccan youth.' Epstein replied: 'the type of wine that does not get better with age.' The archive shows Epstein hosted Chopra at his home and introduced him to Ehud Barak, Sultan Bin Sulayem, and Jabor Al Thani.

When Jes Staley was promoted to number two at JPMorgan in September 2009, Sultan Bin Sulayem told Epstein: 'Did you see your friend Jes Staley just got promoted.' Epstein replied: 'it was not an accident.' Within months Epstein had arranged a private Sultan-Staley dinner, Staley was invited to meet 14 foreign ministers, and Peter Mandelson was pitching him Congo mining.
