How Sultan Bin Sulayem Brought Karim Wade to Epstein

November 13, 2010. Karim Wade, son of Senegal's president, emailed Epstein's office: "I tried to call you at the request of Sutan Bin Sulayem of Dubai World to meet with Jeffrey Epstain" (vol00009-efta00559607-pdf-0). Epstein's assistant replied within hours: apartment address, gate code, Monday at 5:30pm (EFTA02318552-1).

Three days later Wade wrote: "I was very happy to meet you. Have no doubt that we will have fun" (EFTA02416717-0). Epstein replied with a pitch for Senegal: "making senegal a banking center / intemet server , base." He listed the ideas: "the newest technology for five to ten years out. intemet gambling, housing servers that allow people to 'do business' in senegal without having to actually be there. The mobile phone should also be the bank account." He had already "spoke to gates group regarding nuclear power" (vol00009-efta00899072-pdf-1).

Epstein wanted to be indispensable before anyone else arrived.

Sultan's role in this is explicit in the emails. He didn't just know both men. He brokered the introduction deliberately. The same man sending Epstein photos with Dangote and African heads of state, forwarding Somaliland recognition documents, running Nigeria port deals. Sultan was also quietly routing Epstein into Senegal's political succession.
