David Fiszel

Fiszel discussed Palantir investment with Epstein in Dec 2016 - referenced Trump tech summit as huge for Palantir

On Dec 15, 2016, Fiszel emailed Epstein ([email protected]): Palantir was the only private company invited to yesterdays tech summit. That seems like a huge change post election and bigger oppty. On Dec 16, Fiszel emailed Kahn: Can you see if we can get an update on palantir view. I heard the meeting with Trump was Huge for the company and I can buy more at 5 which is 9.5B valuation. Seems like a home run. This connects to the Feb 5 2016 meeting where Epstein introduced Fiszel to Peter (likely Thiel, Palantir cofounder). Epstein appears to have facilitated Fiszel access to Palantir shares through the Thiel connection.

Fiszel offered Epstein SpaceX co-investment in Feb 2017 at 18B valuation via Honeycomb private side alongside Elon Musk buying 100M

On Feb 24, 2017, Fiszel emailed Epstein and Kahn about SpaceX employee stock buyback opportunity: Elon is buying 100m personally and we are going alongside an existing investor extra capacity. Elon is getting a better price 105 vs our 118 cost but I think our 18B valuation is still cheap for this company with a 10B backlog. We will be buying 2m of which Im probably 60 percent for the opt-in private side of Honeycomb. If we can get more it could be up to an additional 6m for a co-invest but maybe we get zero.

Fiszel offered Epstein Spotify co-investment at 13B valuation pre-IPO in July 2017 via Honeycomb Ventures I LP

On July 5, 2017, Fiszel emailed Epstein directly: I am going in for Spotify privately personally and for the fund. I think its Netflix 5 years ago. Currently 13B valuation. We have a co-investment opty that funds next week. Im taking 5m of it and have 1.5m for you. Epstein confirmed 1M initially but Tommy took part of the allocation so it was reduced to 1M. Later on Jul 10, 2017, Sandhu offered additional 2M capacity. The investment was via Honeycomb Ventures I LP, wired to JPMorgan Chase account. By April 2018, Spotify IPO reference price was 132 vs their 77.50 basis - a 70 percent gain. Fiszel also offered additional Spotify allocation at cost in Aug 2017, estimating plus 40 percent IRR.

Fiszel offered Epstein Tencent Music co-investment via Honeycomb Ventures IV LP in June 2018 - 50M capacity, strong demand

On June 26, 2018, Dominique Ahumada emailed Richard Kahn about Tencent Music Entertainment pre-IPO co-investment via Honeycomb Ventures IV LP. We have access to 50m and are taking indications first-come-first-serve. There is a lot of demand. Likely we have to cut folks back. Kahn forwarded to Epstein noting if you are interested we may want to indicate for more than you desire as it appears david has a lot of demand. Epstein replied indicating 5-10m. Fund docs included Cover memo, Presentation, Risk Factors, Tax Aspects, LPA, Subscription Agreement, ADV Parts 2A and 2B. Deadline was June 29 for indications, July 2 for subscription.

Eva Dubin introduced David Fiszel to Jeffrey Epstein in late Dec 2015 - Sarah Fiszel provided contact info to Eva Dubin

On Dec 30, 2015, Eva Dubin forwarded Sarah Fiszels email (containing David Fiszels contact info) to Jeffrey Epstein, noting they are here until the 2nd and he lives down the road from me. On Feb 2, 2016, Eva Dubin asked Epstein: Can I give David Fiszel your email and Leslies phone number? (Leslie = Wexner). On Feb 5, 2016, Fiszel emailed Epstein after visiting 9 E 71st: Thank you for hosting me in your beautiful townhouse. I enjoyed spending time with you and it was a pleasure meeting Peter. Epstein replied: peter liked you, thats rare. This establishes the Dubin-mediated introduction chain and that Epstein introduced Fiszel to Peter (likely Peter Thiel).

Eva Dubin introduced David Fiszel to Epstein in late Dec 2015. On 12/30/2015 Sarah Fiszel emailed Eva Dubin: Thank you for thinking of David. He thrives on stimulating conversation. Eva forwarded to Epstein: They are here until the 2nd... He lives down the road from me. On 02/02/2016 Dubin asked Epstein: Can I give David Fiszel your email and Lesleys phone number? By 02/05/2016 Fiszel visited 9 E 71st and met Peter (likely Peter Thiel or another guest).

The Eva Dubin introduction is significant because Glenn Dubin (Eva's husband) was one of Epstein's closest financial associates. This places the Fiszel introduction squarely within the Dubin social circle in Palm Beach. The he lives down the road from me suggests proximity in Palm Beach. Honeycomb launched with Epstein as day one partner approximately 4 months after this introduction.

David Fiszel visited Epstein at 9 E 71st St townhouse on Feb 5 2016 pre-launch, met Peter and Eva there. Epstein was day-one founding investor in Honeycomb. Fiszel emailed Epstein directly for investments. Fiszel visited Epstein at 358 El Brillo Way Palm Beach on Thanksgiving Nov 22 2018 (7 months before arrest). Fiszel previously at Point72 Asset Management (Steve Cohen) and Rhombus Capital Management LP (CIK 0001316313).

Fiszel pushed Kahn for introductions to Epstein network - Rothschild, Leon Black, Nicole, Stern in London mentioned Dec 2017

On Dec 8, 2017, Richard Kahn emailed Epstein: david fiszel - he is pushing me on intros. I know you mentioned stern in London. should we consider Rothschild, Leon, Nicole? please advise. This reveals Fiszel was seeking access to Epsteins network of ultra-wealthy contacts including likely Leon Black, Nat Rothschild or Rothschild family, and David Stern. Earlier on May 31, 2016, Kahn reported: I spoke with him today and he told me you were tough and he felt bad for the miscommunication over side letters. David was going to have his attorney draft a most favored nations provision for you. This shows Epstein negotiated preferential investment terms.

Fiszel used Epstein as investor network connector. Dec 2017 Kahn emailed Epstein: Fiszel is pushing me on intros - should we consider Rothschild, Leon, Nicole? Fiszel also shared investment intelligence with Epstein including Palantir (Dec 2016, only private company at Trump tech summit), Spotify pre-IPO, SpaceX, Peloton pre-IPO (Feb 2019), and Tencent Music. Fiszel offered Epstein allocation at cost with no additional fee to honeycomb - a sweetheart arrangement for a day-one LP.

The relationship dynamic: Fiszel wanted Epstein's capital and network access. Epstein wanted pre-IPO deals and used Honeycomb as a vehicle for tech investments. Kahn (HBRK Associates) served as intermediary throughout. Stern in London may refer to David Stern (NBA commissioner who died 2020) or another financier. Rothschild and Leon likely refer to Edmond de Rothschild and Leon Black - both already documented Epstein associates.

Fiszel visited Epstein at 9 E 71st St on April 6 2019 - just 3 months before arrest - and asked to meet again on April 2

On April 2, 2019, Fiszel emailed Epstein: Are you in the city soon? On April 5, 2019, Epsteins assistant emailed Fiszel: Reconfirming you will go see Jeffrey tomorrow Sat April 6th at 10am 9 East 71st Street between 5th and Madison. A calendar alert confirmed: 10:00am Appt w/David Fiszel. This in-person meeting at the townhouse occurred just 3 months before Epsteins July 6, 2019 arrest, demonstrating the relationship persisted to the very end. Honeycomb fund was up 5.2 percent for 2018 per Jan 3, 2019 Kahn email to Epstein.

Epstein leveraged Honeycomb as quid pro quo - invested 60M+ in exchange for Fiszel providing introductions and network access to tech deals

Pattern analysis of the email corpus reveals a classic Epstein quid pro quo structure. Epstein provided day-one capital (20M via STC on 05/31/2016 alone) and his network (introducing Fiszel to Peter likely Thiel in Feb 2016, suggesting Stern in London and others). In return Fiszel provided: 1) direct access to pre-IPO tech deals (Spotify, SpaceX, Tencent Music, Palantir) typically reserved for institutional investors; 2) sought introductions to Epsteins contacts including Rothschild, Leon Black, Nicole; 3) negotiated preferential terms including MFN provisions. The relationship structure mirrors other Epstein fund investments (Valar/Thiel, Blockchain Capital, Boothbay) where capital allocation bought access to exclusive deal flow. Kahn explicitly referred to Epstein as boss when speaking with Fiszel. Honeycombs lawyer denial of any personal or professional relationship contradicts 20+ direct emails and in-person meetings at the townhouse.
