Open Questions

What is the ownership structure of Alba Fiber Systems Inc? NY SoS filings list no officers; the identity of the principal(s) behind NY DOS ID 4234896 remains undocumented.

When did Alba Fiber cease operations, and under what circumstances? The website went dead between 2017 (last Wayback snapshot) and February 2026, but no dissolution filing or corporate status change has been confirmed in the NY SoS record.

Does the product-line resemblance between the AFS8202M switch and the ROBOfiber HGW-808S reflect an OEM supply relationship, and if so, who was the upstream manufacturer? The OEM source may have been a Chinese hardware vendor, but no import records were located via ImportYeti.

What mechanism caused the Bureau van Dijk record to associate Alba Fiber's address with the Epstein-network phone number (212) 971-1307? Identifying the specific aggregation pathway would clarify whether other BvD-sourced phone pivots in this investigation carry the same artifact risk.

Is Perry Behr's current whereabouts and employment status known? His last documented role was Regional Sales Manager at Alba Fiber; no subsequent employment or corporate registration has been identified in available records.

Alba Fiber Systems Inc is a domestic business corporation incorporated in New York on April 23, 2012 (NY DOS ID 4234896). According to state records, it was initially registered in Queens County and relocated to Nassau County (Valley Stream) in June 2013 ¹. According to records reviewed, the company manufactured industrial fiber optic transmission equipment, including switches, media converters, and video/audio/data transmission hardware, and operated from Suite 209 at 265 East Merrick Road, Valley Stream, NY 11580 ¹. Its IEEE OUI registration (block 50:A0:BF, assigned May 2, 2013) indicates that the company was a genuine hardware manufacturer rather than a shell entity, as the IEEE's MA-L block assignment requires demonstrable hardware production ². Products were distributed through Anixter, a major industrial distributor, and archived website snapshots from 2013–2017 confirm an active product catalog during that period ². According to records reviewed, the company's website (albafiber.net) had expired DNS as of February 2026, and no SEC, 990, or federal court filings were found ¹.

Alba Fiber entered the Epstein investigation via a Bureau van Dijk corporate-data phone pivot. Analysis of the dataset indicates that the company appeared alongside nine confirmed Epstein entities — including SLK Designs, JSC Interiors, Zorro Management, and Birch Tree BR LLC — when pivoting on the phone number (212) 971-1307 ³. Review of the records across the full DOJ Vol 11 corpus (331,000+ pages), DugganUSA (204,000 documents), LMSBAND (60,000 files), and the Unified DB (70,000 documents) returned zero results for "Alba Fiber," "albafiber," or "Perry Behr" ³. Records indicate that Alba Fiber's own registered phone numbers (516-837-9449, 516-218-2541, 516-218-2542) do not match any known Epstein-network number ³. The word "Alba" does appear three times in the DOJ Vol 11 email corpus, but those references are to "Project Alba" — a codename for an HBOS bank acquisition Epstein was evaluating in September 2009 — and bear no connection to the Valley Stream company ⁴.

Based on this review, analysis indicates that the BvD phone pivot was a data-quality artifact, most likely caused by phone-number reassignment or database aggregation error ⁵. According to publicly available records, Perry Behr, the individual associated with Alba Fiber on LinkedIn, held the title of Regional Sales Manager (not owner or officer) and had prior roles in security and surveillance sales; he appears in none of the Epstein document corpora and holds no listed officer position in the New York Secretary of State records ⁶. Review of records shows that the building at 265 East Merrick Road is a multi-tenant commercial property housing multiple logistics and customs-brokerage firms, and no Epstein-network entities have been placed at that address ⁷. According to the investigation's final assessment, Alba Fiber is an unrelated entity that was erroneously co-clustered with Epstein corporate data by a third-party aggregator ⁵.

Corporate Identity and Operations

According to New York state records, Alba Fiber Systems Inc was incorporated on April 23, 2012, as a domestic business corporation (NY DOS ID 4234896), initially in Queens County ¹. According to state records, a Certificate of Change filed on June 17, 2013, relocated its registered county to Nassau ¹. Records indicate that the company's address was Suite 209, 265 East Merrick Road, Valley Stream, NY 11580 — an 11,760 sq ft multi-tenant commercial building assessed at roughly $1.16 million that also housed logistics and customs brokers including Cargo Control Inc, Concordia International Forwarding Corp, Quality Custom Brokers, and Consolidated Transport Service ⁷. The company's product line included industrial ethernet switches (model AFS8202M), media converters, and video/audio/data transmission hardware, distributed through Anixter ².

The IEEE registered MAC address block 50:A0:BF to Alba Fiber Systems Inc on May 2, 2013 — an MA-L (Large) block allocating roughly 16 million addresses, a class of assignment that requires demonstrable hardware manufacturing activity ². The AFS8202M product line bears resemblance to the ROBOfiber HGW-808S, which analysis suggests is consistent with an OEM or rebrand relationship rather than original design ². According to Wayback Machine archives, more than 50 snapshots of the company website between 2013 and 2017 confirm normal commercial operations during that window ¹. The domain albafiber.net had expired DNS as of February 2026, consistent with a company that ceased active operations ².

According to publicly available records, the individual associated with the company is Perry Behr, who held the title of Regional Sales Manager at Alba Fiber Systems and is not listed as an officer or owner in the New York Secretary of State records for any company ⁶. Examination of Behr's documented career history shows Regional Sales Manager roles at Genetec Inc (a Canadian video surveillance and access control platform), Security Engineers Inc, and Structure Works Inc ⁶. Review of records confirms that no results for Perry Behr appear in any of the Epstein document corpora searched, in SEC EDGAR, or in OCCRP Aleph ⁶.

The Bureau van Dijk Phone Pivot

According to the investigative record, Alba Fiber entered the Epstein investigation when a Bureau van Dijk corporate-registry pivot on the phone number (212) 971-1307 returned it alongside nine entities with documented connections to Jeffrey Epstein: SLK Designs, JSC Interiors, Zorro Management, Zorro Development, Neptune LLC, Neptune Industries, Neptune Partners, Neptune Corp, and Birch Tree BR LLC ³. Records indicate that Alba Fiber's own phone numbers — 516-837-9449, 516-218-2541, and 516-218-2542 — do not appear in any Epstein-related records, and (212) 971-1307 was not registered to Alba Fiber in any primary source reviewed ³.

Review of the records across the full DOJ Vol 11 corpus (331,000+ pages), DugganUSA (204,000 documents), LMSBAND (60,000 files), and the Unified DB (70,000 documents) for "Alba Fiber," "albafiber," and "Perry Behr" returned zero results across all searches ³. An additional Dehashed phone-number search placed Alba Fiber at 265 East Merrick Road but produced no documentary link to Epstein-network entities; analysis indicates that this connection is a probable false positive given the frequency of errors and reassignments in breach-database phone records ⁸.

The word "Alba" does appear three times in the DOJ Vol 11 email corpus — documents EFTA02436485, EFTA02436641, and EFTA02436791 — but refers exclusively to "Project Alba," a codename used in September 2009 for an HBOS bank acquisition under evaluation ⁴. Those emails also reference "Oppenheim," "Ports" (assessed as likely DP World), and "Michelin House, Fulham Road" in London; they have no lexical or contextual connection to the Valley Stream company ⁴.

265 East Merrick Road: Address Context

According to property records, the building at 265 East Merrick Road, Valley Stream, NY 11580 is a multi-tenant commercial office property built in 1985, assessed at approximately $1.16 million ⁷. Review of records indicates it functions as a logistics and customs-industry cluster, with tenants documented during the period of interest including Cargo Control Inc, Concordia International Forwarding Corp, Quality Custom Brokers, Consolidated Transport Service, Atlantis Business Solutions, Care Network Services LLC, and the accounting firm Krinsky & Epstein PC ⁷. The accounting firm — whose principals are Lee S. Epstein CPA and Philip J. Krinsky CPA — is unrelated to Jeffrey Epstein ⁷.

According to state records, 7 Seas Supply Chain Management Corp (NY DOS 4404512) occupies Suite 208, the suite immediately adjacent to Alba Fiber's Suite 209 ⁹. Records show that 7 Seas was incorporated on May 16, 2013, by CEO Hector Grajales, and operates as a freight forwarder with offices in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong (contact: Bennie Chu), Shanghai, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Colombia ⁹. Records indicate that the company holds FMCSA USDOT 3531779 and MC-1176016, carried BBB accreditation from 2017, and reported approximately $7 million in revenue with 37 employees ⁹. Analysis of available records found no evidence linking 7 Seas SCM to Perry Behr or to Alba Fiber: the principals are different, the business types are different, and the incorporation dates are independent ⁹. According to the records reviewed, the co-location is consistent with the building's documented role as a general logistics hub ⁷.

Investigative Assessment

After review of more than 20 data sources — including DOJ Vol 11, DugganUSA, LMSBAND, the Unified DB, SEC EDGAR, OCCRP Aleph, FL SunBiz, FEC, FARA, CourtListener, LittleSis, ProPublica 990, FMCSA, IEEE OUI registry, BBB, and ImportYeti — analysis indicates that the BvD phone pivot placing Alba Fiber alongside confirmed Epstein entities is a data-quality error, most likely caused by phone-number reassignment or aggregation error in Bureau van Dijk's corporate records ⁵. According to the assessment, the five evidentiary pillars supporting this conclusion are: (1) Alba Fiber's own phone numbers do not match any Epstein-network number; (2) Perry Behr has no documented presence in any Epstein corpus; (3) the company holds a legitimate IEEE OUI block requiring hardware manufacturing; (4) zero corpus hits across 660,000+ Epstein documents; and (5) no import-record or financial connection to Epstein's Asia Gateway or David Stern network was identified ⁵.

Based on this review, Alba Fiber Systems Inc is assessed as unrelated to the Epstein network. According to records examined, it was a small, legitimate industrial hardware company operating in Valley Stream, Long Island, that ceased active web presence by approximately 2017 and ceased operations by an undetermined date before February 2026 ¹². The investigation is closed on this entity absent new primary-source evidence.

Alba Fiber Systems Inc (#145, 265 E Merrick Rd Valley Stream NY 11580) found via Dehashed phone search. Zero results across all DOJ Vol 11, LMSBAND, unified DB, and DugganUSA searches. No corporate registry match found. The Valley Stream NY address is far from any known Epstein locations. Without any documentary evidence linking this entity to Epstein beyond a phone number match in Dehashed breach data, the connection is likely a false positive. Phone numbers in breach databases frequently contain errors or reassignments. Should be reclassified as unrelated unless new evidence emerges.

IMPORTANT DISAMBIGUATION: The word 'Alba' appears in 3 DOJ Vol 11 emails (EFTA02436485, EFTA02436641, EFTA02436791) but refers to 'Project Alba' -- a codename for an HBOS bank deal Epstein was evaluating in September 2009. EFTA02436791 (Sep 1, 2009): 'What do you think about the HBOS deal (project alba)?' EFTA02436641 (Sep 5, 2009): 'Will meet the people re Alba (hbos) deal on monday.' These emails also mention 'Oppenheim', 'Ports' (likely DP World), and 'Michelin House, Fulham Road' (London). This is an unrelated use of the word Alba and has NO connection to Alba Fiber Systems Inc of Valley Stream, NY.

FINAL ASSESSMENT -- Alba Fiber / 7 Seas SCM / Epstein phone pivot: After exhaustive investigation using 20+ data sources (DOJ Vol 11, DugganUSA, LMSBAND, Unified DB, SEC EDGAR, OCCRP Aleph, NY SoS, FL SunBiz registry, FEC, FARA, CourtListener, LittleSis, ProPublica 990, web searches, FMCSA, IEEE OUI registry, BBB, ImportYeti), the previous agents' assessment that this is a BvD data aggregation error is CONFIRMED. Key evidence: (1) Alba Fiber has its own distinct phones (516-837-9449, 516-218-2541/2542) with no overlap to Epstein numbers. (2) Perry Behr is a sales manager (not owner) with background in security/surveillance sales. (3) Zero corpus hits across 660K+ Epstein documents. (4) The company is a legitimate fiber optic equipment manufacturer (IEEE OUI, Anixter distribution, product manuals). (5) 7 Seas SCM is an entirely separate company (different owner Hector Grajales, different business, incorporated independently in 2013) that happens to occupy the adjacent suite. (6) The 265 E Merrick Rd building is a generic multi-tenant office used by many logistics/customs companies. (7) No 'Hong Kong company' import connection to Epstein's Asia Gateway/David Stern network was found. The BvD phone pivot that surfaced Alba Fiber alongside confirmed Epstein entities (SLK Designs, JSC Interiors, Zorro entities, Birch Tree BR) appears to be a data quality issue in Bureau van Dijk's corporate phone records, likely caused by phone number reassignment or database aggregation error.

MAC address registration confirms Alba Fiber as genuine hardware manufacturer: IEEE OUI 50:A0:BF registered 02 May 2013 to Alba Fiber Systems Inc at 265 E. Merrick Rd, Valley Stream NY 11580 (MA-L block, ~16M addresses). This is a Large MAC Address Block assignment requiring demonstrable hardware manufacturing. Products distributed through Anixter (major industrial distributor). Product line (AFS8202M industrial ethernet switches) appears similar to ROBOfiber HGW-808S, suggesting OEM/rebrand relationship. The company was a legitimate if small industrial fiber optic equipment manufacturer, not a shell entity. Website albafiber.net confirmed dead (ECONNREFUSED) as of Feb 2026. Wayback Machine had 50+ snapshots 2013-2017 per prior investigator finding.

7 Seas SCM investigation: 7 Seas Supply Chain Management Corp (NY DOS 4404512, inc. 2013-05-16, CEO Hector F. Grajales) operates from Suite 208 at 265 E Merrick Rd Valley Stream NY -- one suite number from Alba Fiber (Suite 209). Company is a freight forwarder with offices in NY, LA, Hong Kong (Bennie Chu), Shanghai, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Vietnam, Indonesia, Colombia. FMCSA USDOT 3531779, MC-1176016. BBB accredited 2017. $7M revenue, 37 employees, 95% female workforce. Despite adjacent suites and user hypothesis of business succession/connection, NO evidence links 7 Seas SCM to Perry Behr or Alba Fiber. Different principals (Grajales vs Behr), different business types (logistics vs fiber optic equipment), different incorporation dates (2013 vs 2012). The co-location at 265 E Merrick Rd is explained by the building being a multi-tenant commercial office hub for logistics/freight companies: also houses Concordia International Forwarding, Cargo Control Inc, Quality Custom Brokers, and Consolidated Transport Service.

Alba Fiber appeared in Bureau van Dijk corporate registry pivot on Epstein corporate phone (212) 971-1307 alongside 9 confirmed Epstein entities (SLK Designs, JSC Interiors, Zorro Management, Zorro Development, Neptune LLC, Neptune Industries, Neptune Partners, Neptune Corp, Birch Tree BR LLC). However, Alba Fiber has its own distinct phone numbers (516-837-9449, 516-218-2541, 516-218-2542) which do NOT match any known Epstein numbers. Comprehensive search of DOJ Vol 11 (331K pages), DugganUSA (204K docs), LMSBAND (60K files), and Unified DB (70K docs) returned ZERO results for 'Alba Fiber', 'albafiber', or 'Perry Behr'. The most likely explanation is Bureau van Dijk data aggregation error -- the phone was incorrectly associated with Alba Fiber in the corporate data broker records. Assessment: probable false positive in the BvD phone pivot, not a genuine Epstein connection.

265 E Merrick Rd address investigation: The building at 265 E Merrick Rd, Valley Stream NY 11580 is an 11,760 sq ft multi-tenant commercial office building built 1985 (assessed value $1.16M). It is a logistics/customs industry cluster housing: Cargo Control Inc, Concordia International Forwarding Corp, Quality Custom Brokers, Consolidated Transport Service, Krinsky & Epstein PC (accounting firm -- Lee S. Epstein CPA and Philip J. Krinsky CPA, UNRELATED to Jeffrey Epstein), Atlantis Business Solutions, Care Network Services LLC, 7 Seas Logistics (Suite 208), and Alba Fiber Systems (Suite 209). The 'Krinsky & Epstein PC' presence at this address is coincidental -- Lee S. Epstein is also described as Owner of The Krinsky Company (healthcare consulting, Jericho NY). No Epstein network entities have been located at this address.
