Dossier

Paul Tudor Jones

Jones illustrates how Epstein monetized proximity to elite hedge fund managers through both passive fund investments and active intelligence-gathering about their assets, using financial relationships and social circuit knowledge as brokerage currency in unrelated deals across jurisdictions.

Jeffrey Epstein
59 findings 14 connections 0 entities

Paul Tudor Jones II is a billionaire hedge fund manager and founder of Tudor Investment Corp, one of the oldest and largest macro hedge funds in the world. His connection to Jeffrey Epstein is documented through two independent vectors: a long-standing financial relationship in which Epstein's Financial Trust Company held a $16.3 million position in Tudor Futures Fund from at least January 2001 until its full redemption in August 2014 1, and a social relationship mediated primarily through Glenn Dubin and Eva Dubin, with whom Jones co-founded the Robin Hood Foundation in 1988 and co-chaired the Dubin Breast Center benefits from 2011 to 2013. Notably, Jones does not appear in Epstein's black book, and the released DOJ corpus contains zero direct email correspondence between the two men 2.

The financial relationship was routed through Southern Financial LLC, Epstein's USVI investment vehicle, with Tudor Futures Fund receiving an initial $5 million investment around January 2001 that grew to $16.3 million by April 2012 — a 225% return over 13 years — before being fully redeemed in August 2014 1. Tudor Investment Corp has publicly denied any relationship with Epstein, stating that "neither Jones nor anyone at the company ever had a relationship with Epstein" — a denial that, according to available records, appears inconsistent with the documented fund investment held for over a decade 3.

Epstein's interest in Jones extended beyond financial returns. From 2011 to 2018, Epstein tracked Jones's Singita Grumeti Reserves in Tanzania, attempted to broker a Senegalese game reserve deal using his knowledge of Jones's operations, and explored replicating the Singita model for his own Caribbean islands — all without any documented direct contact with Jones himself. Jones represents a case in which Epstein leveraged financial relationships and social intelligence about wealthy individuals as deal-making currency, even when the underlying personal relationship appears to have been arm's-length at best.

The Tudor Futures Fund Investment

The core financial link between Epstein and Paul Tudor Jones was a hedge fund investment held for over thirteen years. Epstein's Financial Trust Company initiated a position in Tudor Futures Fund around January 30, 2001, with an original cost basis of $5,020,030. By April 30, 2012, the position had grown to $16,298,799, representing an unrealized gain of $11,296,799 — a 225% return 1. This made Tudor Futures one of the oldest and most profitable positions in Epstein's hedge fund portfolio, alongside allocations to Highbridge Capital ($18 million), ML Hertz ($3.9 million), and Renaissance Institutional Equity Fund ($1.3 million) 4.

The investment flowed through Southern Financial LLC, Epstein's USVI investment vehicle, to Tudor Futures via JPMorgan Chase. Monthly FTC financial statements tracked the position as one of the "Partnerships" line items under the SFLLC umbrella. A June 2013 statement 5 lists "SFLLC TUDOR FUTURES" alongside "SFLLC HIGHBRIDGE CAPITAL" and "KING STREET" in the same cash summary that also records "L Black Fee" — Leon Black's consulting payments 6. This juxtaposition, while likely coincidental in a portfolio statement, places Tudor Futures among Epstein's core investment holdings during the period when Black was paying Epstein tens of millions in advisory fees.

The position declined from its 2012 peak to $13,501,622 by July 31, 2014, and was fully redeemed that August. The August 31, 2014 FTC valuation report shows Tudor Futures dropping to zero with a line item reading "Tudor Redemption 13,501,622" 7. Deutsche Bank wire transfer records confirm the mechanics: on August 4, 2014, an incoming wire of $12,826,541.49 arrived from "TUDOR FUTURES FUND HARBORSIDE PLAZA 10 3 SECOND STREET" to Southern Financial LLC's USVI account, followed by a second wire of $684,400.39 on August 20 with the reference "TFF 07.31 FINAL RED PAYMENT" 8. The total Tudor-related inflows for August 2014 were $13,510,317.67. Whether Tudor Investment Corp knew the identity of the beneficial owner behind Southern Financial LLC — or whether the position was managed at an institutional level where such details were not scrutinized — remains an open question.

The Dubin-Robin Hood Social Circuit

Jones's social proximity to Epstein was mediated almost entirely through Glenn Dubin and Eva Dubin. Jones and Dubin co-founded the Robin Hood Foundation in 1988, and the two families maintained a close philanthropic partnership. Jones and his wife Sonia served as co-chairs of the Dubin Breast Center benefits at Mount Sinai for three consecutive years: the inaugural benefit on December 12, 2011, the second annual benefit on December 10, 2012, and the third annual benefit on December 9, 2013, at which Sonia Jones was the honoree 9. Co-chairs at these events read as a directory of New York's hedge fund elite: Steven Cohen, Howard Lutnick, David Shaw, Kenneth Tropin, Louis Bacon, and John Griffin — several with documented Epstein connections.

Epstein used these events as networking venues. He attended Robin Hood Foundation benefits annually from at least 2009 through 2016, purchasing tables at $30,000 each through Eva Dubin's invitations, with Richard Kahn handling the payments 1011. In April 2015, Lesley Groff asked Epstein: "Would you like to invite the same 10 girls per usual to the Robin Hood event?" 10. That same year, Epstein asked to be listed as "anonymous" in the Robin Hood benefit program 12. In September 2014, Bill Gates emailed Epstein about his upcoming New York schedule, noting that "Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events," referring to Robin Hood measurement sessions. Epstein had suggested the visit as "perfect time for you to pitch DAF" — a donor-advised fund scheme 13. Robin Hood thus served as the primary social venue where Epstein's orbit intersected with Jones's world, though no evidence exists that Jones was aware of Epstein's attendance or activities at these events.

The connection between the Jones and Epstein households ran deeper through the wives. In an August 2016 message to Deepak Chopra, Epstein characterized Eva Dubin and Sonia Jones as "best friends," writing "Eva said you were working with Sonia Jones her best friend" and that "she wanted to be careful" 14. The previous October, Eva Dubin emailed Sonia asking her to arrange medical care for Epstein's back pain, and Sonia responded that "Pete will take care of him" and that she had spoken with him, before Eva forwarded the exchange to Epstein 14. This chain confirms that Sonia Jones was willing to personally arrange medical referrals for Epstein, though this may simply reflect social courtesy mediated through her friendship with Eva Dubin rather than any direct Jones-Epstein relationship.

The Singita Tanzania Intelligence Thread

Epstein maintained a sustained interest in Jones's Singita Grumeti Reserves — a 346,000-acre wildlife conservation and luxury lodge operation in the western corridor of Tanzania's Serengeti. On November 5, 2011, three separate communications converged. Epstein composed a memo-style email to an African contact (using the address "Jeffrey Epstain — Friend of Sultan") listing "paul tudor jones. — Tanzania" as a discussion topic alongside Ian Osborne, Yuri Milner, and Jes Staley 15. The same day, the African contact ("afri xp," operating from a Senegalese BlackBerry) emailed Epstein about Singita Game Reserves: "I would like to meet ur friend to take him to Senegal to operate the Niokolo Koba game reserves. We will give him management of the reserves + exclusive hotel management. Can u pls confirm that he is the owner of the Singita Group" 16. Also that same day, Epstein emailed Eva Dubin: "does paul Jones own singita lodge in tanzania? or are they his partners?" 17.

Epstein was being asked to broker an introduction between his African contact and the owner of Singita, yet he did not know the ownership structure and had to ask Eva Dubin rather than Jones directly — suggesting he lacked a personal relationship with Jones close enough to simply call and ask. Instead, he was positioning himself as a broker — leveraging second-hand knowledge of Jones's Tanzania operations to facilitate a deal in which he would serve as the connector. Records show the pattern continued: in January 2015, Epstein forwarded an article about Jones's Singita operation to an Italian-speaking female contact, describing the "realm of fantasy" at Jones's Sasakwa lodge, and the woman replied "I told you I had very simple taste!" 18. Epstein was using Jones's luxury assets as aspirational currency in his social interactions.

The Singita thread persisted until Epstein's final year. In August 2018, Barry Stern recommended "The Singita people" to Epstein as potential managers for his Caribbean islands, noting they "run small spectacular lodges and Gomes for Paul Tudor Jones as well" 19. Epstein was seeking "a couple to manage my islands in the carib 50 staff just me" 20. The seven-year span from the 2011 Senegal brokering attempt to the 2018 island management inquiry suggests Epstein tracked Jones's operations and repeatedly attempted to monetize or replicate the Singita model — all without any documented direct contact with Jones himself.

Corporate Structure and Offshore Presence

Tudor Investment Corp operates through a multi-entity structure typical of large hedge funds. SEC EDGAR records show three primary CIKs: Tudor Investment Corp Et Al (CIK 0000923093, Delaware incorporation, 200 Elm Street, Stamford, Connecticut, with 453 filings including quarterly 13F-HR holdings reports), Jones Paul Tudor II (CIK 0001270196, 57 insider filings), and Tudor Futures Fund /NY/ (CIK 0000870088, a New York limited partnership with 7 filings). A 2014 Form D filing lists Jones as Executive Officer and Director alongside Mark F. Dalton (later Tudor co-chairman), Richard L. Fisher (Memphis, Tennessee), and officers at Tudor Capital operations in Australia and the United Kingdom 21.

OCCRP Aleph and ICIJ datasets reveal an offshore footprint spanning the Bahamas and Panama. Tudor Investment Fund Limited (Bahamas, registration 113255B, incorporated 2000) defaulted and dissolved by 2003 per Panama Papers and Bahamas Leaks data. Tudor Investment Company Multi-Portfolio Fund Ltd (Bahamas, registration 32166B, incorporated 1995) was struck off in 2002. Two Panama entities remain active: Tudor Investment Corp Inc Inversiones Tudor SA (registration 36108, incorporated 1979) and Tudor Management and Investment Corporation (registration 73857, incorporated 1981), both with current "VIGENTE" status 22. While these are standard hedge fund offshore structures and not inherently suspicious, the Bahamas and Panama jurisdictions overlap with those favored by Epstein's own offshore network.

Tudor Investment Corp also owned a unit at Trump International Hotel and Tower (1 Central Park West, Manhattan, Block 1113, Lot 1467), purchased via deed from Air Shamrock Inc for $6 million on April 27, 2004, with a $4 million mortgage from JPMorgan Chase Bank. The unit was sold to Fiducial Properties Inc for $7.5 million on July 31, 2008 23. This places Tudor Investment Corp in the same Trump property where other Epstein network members had transactions, though no direct overlapping transactions were identified. Jones's philanthropic vehicles include Tudor Foundation Inc (EIN 61-502288, Stamford, Connecticut) as the primary private foundation, the Paul Tudor Jones Family Foundation (EIN 61-600826, administered through Sullivan & Cromwell LLP), and the Robin Hood Foundation (EIN 13-3441066), one of New York City's largest anti-poverty nonprofits with $160-200 million in annual revenue and approximately $460 million in assets 24.

How Epstein's Circle Viewed Jones

Internal communications within Epstein's operation provide a revealing window into how his inner circle perceived Jones — not as a peer or intimate, but as a subject of intelligence interest and occasional amusement. In February 2017, Richard Kahn forwarded a Bloomberg article to Epstein about Jones falling victim to a Broadway-themed Ponzi scheme, commenting: "Looks like there are many not to shrewd billionaires" 25. The article reported that Jones, Michael Dell, and Och-Ziff executives had lost money in a Hamilton tickets Ponzi operated by Joseph Meli. Kahn's tone suggests Jones may not have been considered part of the inner circle whose reputation needed protection 26.

Similarly, when a yacht crew applicant named Kafrawi Yuliantono contacted Epstein seeking employment in April 2013, he name-dropped Jones as a former client: "I knew one of my Client in America his name is Paul Tudor Jones, from Tudor Investment, that offer me me job to taking care his Private Yacht in 2014" 27. The applicant had also worked at Parrot Cay in the British West Indies and claimed to know Ghislaine Maxwell through former hotel manager Nicholas Simmonds. Lesley Groff scheduled the applicant for a Skype interview and the correspondence was forwarded to DKIP LLC. The multiple copies (6+ duplicates) suggest it was circulated within the operation 28. This confirms an overlap in luxury hospitality staff networks between Jones and Epstein, though it reflects the common labor pool serving ultra-wealthy yacht owners rather than any direct coordination.

Taken together, the evidence points to a relationship that was primarily financial (a passive fund investment) and social (shared philanthropic circles via the Dubin family) rather than operational. Jones does not appear in Epstein's black book, and the released DOJ corpus contains no direct email correspondence between the two men. Records from CourtListener, FARA, LDA, and SEC EDGAR, along with the congressional and enforcement reports reviewed, show no litigation or regulatory overlap between Tudor Investment and any Epstein-associated entities 29. FEC filings show Jones's donations are broadly bipartisan and do not appear to overlap with the Epstein network's political bundling patterns 30. The Robin Hood Foundation board, however, includes several individuals with documented Epstein ties — among them Glenn Dubin (co-founder), Jes Staley, Lloyd Blankfein, Daniel Och, and, at one point, Harvey Weinstein 31 — which makes the organization itself significant in the broader social network even where Jones's personal involvement with Epstein appears limited.

Epstein emailed African contact ('afri xp') on Nov 5, 2011 with subject line: 'paul tudor jones. - Tanzania, Ian osbourne yuri milner - social network. Jes Staley,,,oil hedge - JPM.' This note-to-self format lists PTJ as a discussion topic linked to Tanzania (PTJ's Singita Grumeti Reserves). Same day, Epstein separately emailed Eva Dubin: 'does paul Jones own singita lodge in tanzania? or are they his partners?' Shows Epstein actively researching PTJ's Tanzania assets, potentially to leverage PTJ's lodge management expertise for his own African ventures via the Senegalese contact.

Epstein's African contact ('afri xp', using a Senegalese BlackBerry/Orange account) asked Epstein on Nov 5, 2011 about PTJ's Singita Game Reserves: 'Pls see below the link to the Singita game reserves + lodge. I would like to meet ur friend to take him to Senegal to operate the Niokolo Koba game reserves. We will give him management of the reserves + exclusive hotel management. Can u pls confirm that he is the owner of the Singita Group.' This shows Epstein was being asked to broker an introduction between his African contact and PTJ's Singita operation for a Senegalese game reserve partnership.

Epstein memo (Nov 5, 2011) lists PTJ as a topic/contact alongside other key names: 'paul tudor jones. - Tanzania, Ian osbourne yuri milner - social network. Jes Staley,,,oil hedge - JPM/'. This places PTJ in Epstein's inner circle of billionaire contacts circa 2011, alongside Ian Osborne (advisor later connected to Peter Thiel's intro to Epstein via SPIEF), Yuri Milner (DST Global), and Jes Staley (JPMorgan private banking). The Tanzania reference connects to PTJ's Singita Grumeti Reserves.

PTJ co-chaired Dubin Breast Center benefits (2011, 2012) alongside multiple Epstein-network figures: Glenn and Eva Dubin (primary Epstein social circle), Steven Cohen, Howard Lutnick, David Shaw, Bob Pittman. Dec 12, 2011 inaugural benefit and Dec 10, 2012 second annual benefit. Eva Dubin served as Epstein's primary social connector to PTJ's Robin Hood Foundation circle.

Both benefit invitations were found in Epstein corpus. The 2012 event also included Allison and Howard Lutnick, Beth and David Shaw, and Kathleen and Kenneth Tropin as co-chairs. Epstein had forwarded these invitations, indicating he attended or was invited. This places PTJ in the immediate social circle of Glenn Dubin, whose deep Epstein ties are well documented.

Sonia and Paul Tudor Jones II co-chaired the Dubin Breast Center benefits alongside Epstein's core social circle. Inaugural benefit (Dec 12, 2011, EFTA02694479): co-chairs include PTJ, Bob Pittman, Scott Bommer, John Griffin.

Kafrawi previously worked at Parrot Cay (British West Indies) and Four Seasons properties. He contacted Epstein through former hotel manager Nicholas Simmonds and 'Edwina', mentioned meeting Epstein at his office with a 'girlfriend who is masseuse in Parrot Cay.' He was given Epstein's Skype address and scheduled for a call. This confirms PTJ and Epstein shared overlapping service staff networks in luxury hospitality.

This confirms PTJ owned a private yacht circa 2013-2014 and that at least one person in Epstein's orbit was aware of PTJ's yacht operations. The email was sent to Epstein's known address, suggesting overlap in luxury maritime circles.

Despite overlapping social circles, no direct business relationship is documented between Paul Tudor Jones and the Apollo-linked figures (Leon Black, Darren Indyke, Richard Kahn). PTJ's connection to Epstein ran through two independent channels. The first was investment: FTC held a Tudor Futures Fund position (peaking near $16.3M and fully redeemed at $13.5M in August 2014), managed through Southern Financial LLC, a USVI entity, via JPMorgan Chase -- a standard hedge fund allocation rather than a privileged relationship. The second was social: Robin Hood Foundation events (PTJ co-founder; Epstein an annual attendee) and Dubin Breast Center benefits (a shared co-chair role with Dubin, Cohen, Lutnick, and Shaw). PTJ sat on the NY Federal Reserve Investor Advisory Committee and the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee (LittleSis rels 992437/346689), positions of institutional trust he held throughout and after the Epstein period. Arpad 'Arki' Busson (LittleSis rel 1738194), a hedge fund manager in Epstein's social circles, served as a former investment advisor to PTJ -- the closest personal-network link between PTJ and Epstein circles outside Robin Hood and the Dubins.

Epstein was a regular at Robin Hood Foundation annual benefits (2014-2016 confirmed), buying tables via Eva Dubin's invitations, with Richard Kahn handling the purchases. In 2015, Epstein asked to invite 'the same 10 girls per usual' to the Robin Hood event. The foundation, which PTJ co-founded, served Epstein as a networking venue: he pitched Gates on a DAF (Donor-Advised Fund) scheme at the event where 'Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events' (Sept 2014).

Epstein attended Robin Hood Foundation events annually from at least 2009 to 2016, purchasing tables of 10 (priced at $30,000 in 2016 per Kahn). As a Robin Hood co-founder, PTJ was a central figure at these events. Gates emailed Epstein on Sep 25, 2014: 'Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events,' referring to Robin Hood measurement sessions and dinner. Epstein had initiated this by emailing Gates, 'when you are in for Robin Hood, perfect time for you to pitch DAF.' His table guests were recruited by Lesley Groff ('Would you like to invite the same 10 girls per usual to the Robin Hood event?'), and Epstein asked to be listed as 'anonymous' in the Robin Hood program in 2015. These events were the primary social venue connecting Epstein, PTJ, Dubin, Dalio, and Gates.

In 2015, Lesley Groff asked Epstein whether he wanted to invite the same 10 girls per usual to the Robin Hood event.

The woman replied: 'I told you I had very simple taste\!' followed by multiple Skype scheduling messages.

Sonia Jones (PTJ's wife) and Eva Dubin (Glenn Dubin's wife, Epstein's close social circle) were 'best friends' per Epstein's own characterization. Three categories of evidence: (1) Eva emailed Sonia on Oct 19, 2015 asking her to arrange medical care for Epstein's back pain: 'Jeffrey has a lot of back pain. I really would like for him to see Peter.' Sonia replied: 'Pete will take care of him. I talked to him today and he is on it\!\!' Eva forwarded this to Epstein. (2) Epstein messaged Deepak Chopra on Aug 27, 2016: 'Eva said you were working with Sonia Jones her best friend? So she wanted to be careful.'

Epstein forwarded a Bloomberg article (Feb 6, 2017) about a Hamilton tickets Ponzi scheme that victimized PTJ and Michael Dell. Richard Kahn sent it to Epstein with the comment, 'Looks like there are many not too shrewd billionaires.' The article describes PTJ as running 'the billion Tudor Investment Corp., one of the oldest hedge funds,' and notes he helped start the Robin Hood Foundation. The exchange is telling on several counts: Kahn felt free to mock PTJ to Epstein, suggesting PTJ was not a close contact whose standing they sought to protect; it indicates Epstein and his circle were following PTJ's activities; and the same Ponzi scheme also hit Och-Ziff, another platform in which Epstein had invested.

BS Stern (Barry Stern) recommended Singita/PTJ's lodge management to Epstein on Aug 30, 2018 when Epstein was seeking a couple to manage his 'islands in the carib' (50 staff): 'The Singita people come to mind but they are based in s Africa I think. Might as well call them. They run small spectacular lodges and Gomes for Paul Tudor Jones as well.' Epstein replied: 'thank you, i appreciate it. have you figured out how to start having some fun\! springtime of our senility.' This shows PTJ's Singita operation was known as a benchmark for luxury island/lodge management in Epstein's network, and that Epstein was actively seeking to replicate that model for his Caribbean properties in August 2018.

Paul Tudor Jones does not appear in Epstein's little black book. A search of the epsteinsblackbook.com name list returns no entry for Tudor, Paul Jones, or PTJ. Robin Hood co-founder Glenn Dubin, by contrast, is in the black book and has deep documented Epstein ties. PTJ's absence from the contact book is consistent with a connection to Epstein that was primarily financial (as a fund investor) and social (the shared Dubin orbit) rather than personally close.

The Robin Hood Foundation board overlaps extensively with the Epstein network. PTJ founded Robin Hood in 1988 with Glenn Dubin. Its current and past board includes Glenn Dubin (co-founder, deep Epstein ties), Lloyd Blankfein (Goldman Sachs, Epstein-connected), Jes Staley (board member and known Epstein associate, later convicted), Kenneth Tropin (current chair), Daniel Och (founder of Och-Ziff), and Harvey Weinstein (former board member). Through Eva Dubin, Epstein attended Robin Hood benefits annually, buying $30K tables and bringing 10 guests. LittleSis records PTJ (entity 15084) with positions at the foundation as founder, board member, education committee member, and prize advisory board member.

Robin Hood Foundation has formal partnership with JPMorgan Chase, co-hosting the annual JP Morgan Robin Hood Investors Conference. This is the institutional nexus connecting PTJ (Robin Hood founder), Jes Staley (JPMorgan executive and Robin Hood board member who was Epstein chief defender at JPM), and Epstein (16.3M Tudor Futures investor via FTC/SFLLC who attended Robin Hood galas annually). The JPMorgan-Robin Hood partnership means PTJ organization was formally aligned with the same bank that maintained 40+ Epstein accounts and processed over 1B in flagged transactions.

Tudor Investment Corp has publicly denied any relationship with Epstein, telling media that neither Jones nor anyone at the company ever had a relationship with him. DOJ financial records show FTC held $16.3M in Tudor Futures Fund from at least 2012-2014, which sits in tension with that denial. The fund investment flowed through FTC and Southern Financial LLC (SFLLC), Epstein-managed investment vehicles, meaning Tudor held Epstein money as an investor in its fund. Whether Jones personally knew Epstein had invested is unknown, but the financial relationship is documented in government releases.

On the available evidence, the Jones-Epstein connection reads as primarily financial (a passive fund investment) and social (shared philanthropic circles via the Dubins and Robin Hood) rather than operational. Several points support this reading: FTC held a standard institutional position in Tudor Futures Fund that was fully redeemed in August 2014, consistent with an arm's-length investor relationship; Epstein referenced PTJ's Tanzania operation to broker African deals in November 2011 but asked Eva Dubin about ownership rather than PTJ directly, suggesting no direct personal relationship; PTJ co-chaired Dubin events and shared Robin Hood Foundation venues with Epstein's circle, but Epstein accessed Robin Hood through Eva Dubin, not through PTJ; no court, FARA, lobbying, or investigation-report overlap with any Epstein entities was found; and the yacht crew applicant who knew Maxwell also claimed PTJ as a client, which reflects a shared personnel pool in the ultra-wealthy yacht and hospitality sector rather than an operational link. The Weinstein Company board position is a separate instance of proximity to a person later facing sexual misconduct allegations, not an Epstein-network connection.

Paul Tudor Jones and the Apollo-linked figures (Leon Black and Epstein's managers Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn) overlap through two distinct channels, but no evidence of a direct business relationship between them was found. Through the Robin Hood Foundation: PTJ co-founded Robin Hood (EIN 13-3441066, $160-200M annual revenue, roughly $460M in assets); Epstein attended its events from 2009 to 2016, buying tables; and Bill Gates wrote in September 2014 that 'Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events.' Both PTJ and Epstein moved in the Robin Hood donor circle alongside Dubin, Dalio, and Gates.

Separately, PTJ served on The Weinstein Company board alongside Harvey Weinstein (LittleSis rel 1334971), a distinct instance of proximity to individuals later facing sexual misconduct charges. There is no evidence PTJ held Apollo fund investments, served on any Apollo entity board, or had any direct Apollo business relationship.

TWC Holdings RICO, Wedil David v. TWC, etc.). LittleSis records PTJ held a position at The Weinstein Company. No litigation overlap was found with any Epstein-associated persons or entities (Indyke, Kahn, JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, Apollo, Leon Black).

Tudor Investment Corp had offshore presence including: Tudor Investment Fund Limited (Bahamas, reg 113255B, incorporated 2000, defaulted/dissolved by 2003 per Panama Papers and Bahamas Leaks), Tudor Investment Company Multi-Portfolio Fund Ltd (Bahamas, reg 32166B, incorporated 1995, struck off 2002), Tudor Investment Corp Inc Inversiones Tudor SA (Panama, reg 36108, incorporated 1979, status VIGENTE), Tudor Management and Investment Corporation (Panama, reg 73857, incorporated 1981, status VIGENTE). All found via OCCRP Aleph and ICIJ datasets. These are standard hedge fund offshore structures, not inherently suspicious, but the Bahamas/Panama vehicles are notable given Epstein own offshore structures in same jurisdictions.
2003
Tudor Investment Corp owned a unit at Trump International Hotel and Tower (1 Central Park West, Manhattan — Block 1113, Lot 1467). Purchased via deed from Air Shamrock Inc for M on 2004-04-27, with M mortgage from JPMorgan Chase Bank. Sold to Fiducial Properties Inc for .5M on 2008-07-31. This places Tudor Investment Corp in the same Trump property where Epstein network members also had transactions, though no direct overlapping transactions were found.
2004-04-27
Tudor Foundation Inc (EIN 61-502288, Stamford CT) is PTJ's primary philanthropic vehicle, a 501(c)(3) private foundation. Revenue ranged -6.6M/year (2011-2023). Paul Tudor Jones Family Foundation (EIN 61-600826, c/o Sullivan & Cromwell LLP NYC) is a smaller pass-through entity. Robin Hood Foundation (EIN 13-3441066) co-founded by PTJ is one of NYC's largest anti-poverty nonprofits (-200M annual revenue, -460M assets). PTJ had no FARA registrations, no UCC filings, no FAA aircraft registrations found in his name.
2011
Epstein sent email to African contact 'afri xp' (labeled 'Jeffrey Epstain - Friend of Sultan') on Nov 5, 2011, with subject line listing: 'paul tudor jones. - Tanzania, Ian osbourne yuri milner - social network. Jes Staley,,,oil hedge - JPM/'. This groups PTJ with Jes Staley (JPM CEO), Yuri Milner (DST Global), and Ian Osborne in a single networking/business context. Sent same day Epstein asked Eva Dubin about PTJ's Singita lodge ownership.
2011-11-05
Epstein emailed African contact ('afri xp') on Nov 5, 2011 with subject line: 'paul tudor jones. - Tanzania, Ian osbourne yuri milner - social network. Jes Staley,,,oil hedge - JPM.' This note-to-self format lists PTJ as a discussion topic linked to Tanzania (PTJ's Singita Grumeti Reserves). Same day, Epstein separately emailed Eva Dubin: 'does paul Jones own singita lodge in tanzania? or are they his partners?' Shows Epstein actively researching PTJ's Tanzania assets, potentially to leverage PTJ's lodge management expertise for his own African ventures via the Senegalese contact.
2011-11-05
Epstein emailed Eva Dubin on Nov 5, 2011 asking 'does paul Jones own singita lodge in tanzania? or are they his partners?' Same day, his African contact 'afri xp' emailed asking Epstein to confirm PTJ as owner of 'the Singita Group' in context of a Senegalese game reserve management deal (Niokolo Koba). Epstein was attempting to broker PTJ's Singita operation into a Senegalese wildlife reserve deal through his African network.
2011-11-05
Epstein's African contact ('afri xp', using a Senegalese BlackBerry/Orange account) asked Epstein on Nov 5, 2011 about PTJ's Singita Game Reserves: 'Pls see below the link to the Singita game reserves + lodge. I would like to meet ur friend to take him to Senegal to operate the Niokolo Koba game reserves. We will give him management of the reserves + exclusive hotel management. Can u pls confirm that he is the owner of the Singita Group.' This shows Epstein was being asked to broker an introduction between his African contact and PTJ's Singita operation for a Senegalese game reserve partnership.
2011-11-05
Epstein memo (Nov 5, 2011) lists PTJ as a topic/contact alongside other key names: 'paul tudor jones. - Tanzania, Ian osbourne yuri milner - social network. Jes Staley,,,oil hedge - JPM/'. This places PTJ in Epstein's inner circle of billionaire contacts circa 2011, alongside Ian Osborne (advisor later connected to Peter Thiel's intro to Epstein via SPIEF), Yuri Milner (DST Global), and Jes Staley (JPMorgan private banking). The Tanzania reference connects to PTJ's Singita Grumeti Reserves.
2011-11-05
Epstein email to African contact ('afri xp', sent from 'Jeffrey Epstain - Friend of Sultan' address) on Nov 5, 2011 contains a stream-of-consciousness subject line: 'paul tudor jones. - Tanzania , Ian osbourne yuri milner - social network . Jes Staley,,,oil hedge - JPM/'. This appears to be a list of discussion topics or deal ideas. PTJ is paired with Tanzania (his Singita Grumeti Reserves); Yuri Milner with 'social network'; Jes Staley with 'oil hedge - JPM'. The format suggests Epstein was brokering introductions or business between these individuals and his African contact.
2011-11-05
On the same day, November 5, 2011, Epstein emailed Eva Dubin asking, 'does paul Jones own singita lodge in tanzania? or are they his partners?', indicating he was researching PTJ's Tanzania assets. The 'afri xp' contact had also emailed Epstein about Singita Game Reserves that same day, asking him to 'confirm that he is the owner of the Singita Group' and proposing to take PTJ's contact to Senegal to 'operate the Niokolo Koba game reserves' with 'exclusive hotel management.' Epstein appears to have been attempting to broker an African game reserve deal using his knowledge of PTJ's Singita operations as leverage.
2011-11-05
PTJ co-chaired Dubin Breast Center benefits (2011, 2012) alongside multiple Epstein-network figures: Glenn and Eva Dubin (primary Epstein social circle), Steven Cohen, Howard Lutnick, David Shaw, Bob Pittman. Dec 12, 2011 inaugural benefit and Dec 10, 2012 second annual benefit. Eva Dubin served as Epstein's primary social connector to PTJ's Robin Hood Foundation circle.
2011-12-12
PTJ and wife Sonia were co-chairs of Dubin Breast Center Inaugural Benefit (Dec 12, 2011) and Second Annual Benefit (Dec 10, 2012) alongside Eva and Glenn Dubin (the honorees). Both benefit invitations were found in Epstein corpus. The 2012 event also included Allison and Howard Lutnick, Beth and David Shaw, and Kathleen and Kenneth Tropin as co-chairs. Epstein had forwarded these invitations, indicating he attended or was invited. This places PTJ in the immediate social circle of Glenn Dubin, whose deep Epstein ties are well documented.
2011-12-12
Sonia and Paul Tudor Jones II co-chaired the Dubin Breast Center benefits alongside Epstein's core social circle. Inaugural benefit (Dec 12, 2011, EFTA02694479): co-chairs include PTJ, Bob Pittman, Scott Bommer, John Griffin. Second annual (Dec 10, 2012, EFTA02702727): expanded co-chairs add Steven Cohen, Glenn Dubin, Howard Lutnick, David Shaw, Kenneth Tropin. Third annual (Dec 9, 2013, EFTA02672763): SONIA JONES is the HONOREE alongside Dr. Ramon Parsons. These are Dubin family charity events, and Epstein was a regular attendee/donor to the Dubins. PTJ's presence as co-chair positions him in the same intimate philanthropic circle, though no evidence of direct PTJ-Epstein interaction at these events.
2011-12-12
Tudor Investment Corp has publicly denied any relationship with Epstein, telling media that neither Jones nor anyone at the company ever had a relationship with him. DOJ financial records show FTC held $16.3M in Tudor Futures Fund from at least 2012-2014, which sits in tension with that denial. The fund investment flowed through FTC and Southern Financial LLC (SFLLC), Epstein-managed investment vehicles, meaning Tudor held Epstein money as an investor in its fund. Whether Jones personally knew Epstein had invested is unknown, but the financial relationship is documented in government releases.
2012
Epstein's Financial Trust Company (FTC) held $16.3M investment in Tudor Futures Fund as of 4/30/2012 (FTC column shows 16,315,213 start, 16,298,799 end, 15,917,403 — 2.38% YTD return). This was one of four major hedge fund positions held through FTC, alongside Highbridge Capital ($18M), ML Hertz ($3.9M), and Renaissance Inst Equity Fund ($1.3M). By 8/31/2014, Tudor Futures was valued at $13,501,622 and was fully redeemed that month (value went to 0), with the $13.5M redemption appearing as cash activity.
2012-04-30
FTC portfolio valuation from April 30, 2012 (EFTA02698368) shows Tudor Futures position at ,298,799 with inception date 1/30/01, purchased for ,020,030, unrealized gain of ,296,799 (225% return). Tudor was one of Epstein's oldest fund investments, held for over 13 years (Jan 2001 - Aug 2014). The August 31, 2014 valuation (EFTA02711200) shows Tudor Futures at ,501,622 on 7/31/14 dropping to /bin/zsh on 8/31/14 with -2.44% YTD return, confirming full redemption. Cash activity line item reads 'Tudor Redemption: ,501,622.' Total asset summary shows .8M across all Epstein entities at that date.
2012-04-30
Kafrawi Yuliantono, an Indonesian hotelier who applied to work for Epstein (2013-2016), mentioned PTJ in his application: 'I knew one of my Client in America his name is Paul Tudor Jones, from Tudor Investment, that offer me me job to taking care his Private Yacht in 2014.' Kafrawi previously worked at Parrot Cay (British West Indies) and Four Seasons properties. He contacted Epstein through former hotel manager Nicholas Simmonds and 'Edwina', mentioned meeting Epstein at his office with a 'girlfriend who is masseuse in Parrot Cay.' He was given Epstein's Skype address and scheduled for a call. This confirms PTJ and Epstein shared overlapping service staff networks in luxury hospitality.
2013
FTC financial statements show Tudor Futures Fund was held via Southern Financial LLC (SFLLC) — Epstein's USVI investment vehicle. Monthly statements tracked position value: Apr 2013 (.3M area based on context), Jun 2013 showing SFLLC Tudor Futures alongside Highbridge Capital and King Street investments. By July 2014 the position was ,501,622 and fully redeemed to /bin/zsh by August 2014. The same Jun 2013 statement (EFTA02678941) also shows 'L Black Fee' — Leon Black consulting payments — in the same cash summary as Tudor Futures distributions.
2013-04
A yacht crew applicant (Nicholas Simmonds, Parrot Cay, April 2013) emailed Epstein seeking employment, stating: 'I knew one of my Client in America his name is Paul Tudor Jones, from Tudor Investment, that offer me job to taking care his Private Yacht in 2014.' This confirms PTJ owned a private yacht circa 2013-2014 and that at least one person in Epstein's orbit was aware of PTJ's yacht operations. The email was sent to Epstein's known address, suggesting overlap in luxury maritime circles.
2013-04
Yacht crew applicant Kafrawi Yuliantono (Indonesian hospitality professional) emailed Epstein on March 30-31, 2013 seeking employment, name-dropping PTJ as a former client: 'I knew one of my Client in America his name is Paul Tudor Jones, from Tudor Investment, that offer me me job to taking care his Private Yacht in 2014.' Applicant also mentioned knowing 'Giselle Maxwell' from previous hotel manager Nicholas Simmonds. Epstein forwarded to DKIP LLC (Indyke). Multiple copies exist (6+ duplicates) suggesting this was circulated within the operation.
2014
Tudor Investment Corp engaged Delta Strategy Group for lobbying on 'Financial Institutions/Investments/Securities' from Q2 2014 through Q3 2016, spending K/quarter (K total over 2.5 years). Terminated Q1 2017. Lobbyists included Jim Newsome (former CFTC chairman), Scott Parsons, Graham Harper. This lobbying on derivatives/securities regulation occurred during the same period Epstein's FTC held the Tudor Futures position (redeemed Aug 2014).
2014-04
Tudor Investment Corp maintained LDA lobbying through Delta Strategy Group from Q2 2014 through Q3 2016, paying $30K/quarter to monitor derivatives and securities legislation/regulation. Total spend approximately $300K over 10 quarters. Terminated Q1 2017. Lobbyists included Scott Parsons, Jim Newsome (former CFTC chair), Graham Harper, Hope Jarkowski. NO overlap found with any Epstein-associated lobbying firms or lobbyists. PTJ has zero FARA registrations. Robin Hood Foundation has zero LDA lobbying filings.
2014-04
FTC (Financial Trust Company) held a position in Tudor Futures Fund managed by Tudor Investment Corp. The position was valued at approximately .3M (at peak), declining to .5M by July 2014. The position was fully redeemed in August 2014. Investments were routed through Southern Financial LLC (USVI) to Tudor Futures via JPMorgan. Tudor Futures Fund (CIK 870088) was a NY limited partnership hedge fund, with PTJ as Executive Officer and Director.
2014-07
FTC held Tudor Futures Fund position: .3M (4/30/12), declining to .5M (7/31/14), fully redeemed August 2014 (,501,622 cash redemption). Fund held through Southern Financial LLC (SFLLC). Monthly performance tracked alongside Highbridge Capital, King Street, Renaissance, and ML Hertz as core FTC hedge fund allocations.
2014-08
On the available evidence, the Jones-Epstein connection reads as primarily financial (a passive fund investment) and social (shared philanthropic circles via the Dubins and Robin Hood) rather than operational. Several points support this reading: FTC held a standard institutional position in Tudor Futures Fund that was fully redeemed in August 2014, consistent with an arm's-length investor relationship; Epstein referenced PTJ's Tanzania operation to broker African deals in November 2011 but asked Eva Dubin about ownership rather than PTJ directly, suggesting no direct personal relationship; PTJ co-chaired Dubin events and shared Robin Hood Foundation venues with Epstein's circle, but Epstein accessed Robin Hood through Eva Dubin, not through PTJ; no court, FARA, lobbying, or investigation-report overlap with any Epstein entities was found; and the yacht crew applicant who knew Maxwell also claimed PTJ as a client, which reflects a shared personnel pool in the ultra-wealthy yacht and hospitality sector rather than an operational link. The Weinstein Company board position is a separate instance of proximity to a person later facing sexual misconduct allegations, not an Epstein-network connection.
2014-08
Despite overlapping social circles, no direct business relationship is documented between Paul Tudor Jones and the Apollo-linked figures (Leon Black, Darren Indyke, Richard Kahn). PTJ's connection to Epstein ran through two independent channels. The first was investment: FTC held a Tudor Futures Fund position (peaking near $16.3M and fully redeemed at $13.5M in August 2014), managed through Southern Financial LLC, a USVI entity, via JPMorgan Chase -- a standard hedge fund allocation rather than a privileged relationship. The second was social: Robin Hood Foundation events (PTJ co-founder; Epstein an annual attendee) and Dubin Breast Center benefits (a shared co-chair role with Dubin, Cohen, Lutnick, and Shaw). PTJ sat on the NY Federal Reserve Investor Advisory Committee and the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee (LittleSis rels 992437/346689), positions of institutional trust he held throughout and after the Epstein period. Arpad 'Arki' Busson (LittleSis rel 1738194), a hedge fund manager in Epstein's social circles, served as a former investment advisor to PTJ -- the closest personal-network link between PTJ and Epstein circles outside Robin Hood and the Dubins.
2014-08
Deutsche Bank internal wire transfer records confirm the full Tudor Futures Fund redemption on August 20, 2014: Two separate wire credits of ,400.39 each from Tudor Futures Fund (Harborside Plaza 10, 3 Second Street, Jersey City) to Southern Financial LLC (6100 Red Hook Quarter B3, St Thomas USVI 00802) via JPMorgan Chase. The wire reference reads 'TFF 07.31 FINAL RED PAYMENT' confirming this was the final redemption. The Deutsche Bank statement for August 2014 shows three incoming transfers to Southern Financial: ,826,541.49 from Tudor Futures on 08-04, ,375.79 from Bear Stearns Asset Mgmt on 08-08, and ,400.39 from Tudor Futures on 08-20, totaling ,510,317.67 in Tudor-related inflows for the month.
2014-08-20
FTC Tudor Futures Fund $13.5M redemption in August 2014. The 8/31/2014 valuation report shows Tudor Futures value went from $13,501,622 (7/31/14) to $0 (8/31/14), with 'Tudor Redemption 13,501,622' listed as the largest single cash activity item that month. This was held through Southern Financial LLC (SFLLC), one of Epstein's key investment entities. The fund had returned -2.44% YTD before redemption.
2014-08-31
Epstein was a regular at Robin Hood Foundation annual benefits (2014-2016 confirmed), buying tables via Eva Dubin's invitations, with Richard Kahn handling the purchases. In 2015, Epstein asked to invite 'the same 10 girls per usual' to the Robin Hood event. The foundation, which PTJ co-founded, served Epstein as a networking venue: he pitched Gates on a DAF (Donor-Advised Fund) scheme at the event where 'Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events' (Sept 2014).
2014-09
Paul Tudor Jones and the Apollo-linked figures (Leon Black and Epstein's managers Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn) overlap through two distinct channels, but no evidence of a direct business relationship between them was found. Through the Robin Hood Foundation: PTJ co-founded Robin Hood (EIN 13-3441066, $160-200M annual revenue, roughly $460M in assets); Epstein attended its events from 2009 to 2016, buying tables; and Bill Gates wrote in September 2014 that 'Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events.' Both PTJ and Epstein moved in the Robin Hood donor circle alongside Dubin, Dalio, and Gates. Through the Dubin Breast Center: PTJ and Sonia Jones co-chaired benefits alongside Glenn Dubin, Steven Cohen, Howard Lutnick, David Shaw, and Kenneth Tropin (EFTA02694479, EFTA02702727), with Sonia Jones the honoree at the 2013 benefit. Separately, PTJ served on The Weinstein Company board alongside Harvey Weinstein (LittleSis rel 1334971), a distinct instance of proximity to individuals later facing sexual misconduct charges. There is no evidence PTJ held Apollo fund investments, served on any Apollo entity board, or had any direct Apollo business relationship. The Jones-Epstein connection was financial (the $16.3M FTC investment in Tudor Futures Fund) and social (the shared Dubin orbit), and Jones does not appear in Epstein's black book.
2014-09
Gates emailed Epstein Sept 25, 2014 regarding Robin Hood Foundation events: 'Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events.' Epstein had suggested Gates use the Robin Hood visit to 'pitch DAF' (donor-advised fund scheme). PTJ co-founded Robin Hood Foundation and was a fixture at its events. Epstein purchased tables at Robin Hood benefits annually (2014-2016, $30K tables per Eva Dubin), inviting '10 girls per usual' through handler Lesley Groff.
2014-09-25
Epstein attended Robin Hood Foundation events annually from at least 2009 to 2016, purchasing tables of 10 (priced at $30,000 in 2016 per Kahn). As a Robin Hood co-founder, PTJ was a central figure at these events. Gates emailed Epstein on Sep 25, 2014: 'Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events,' referring to Robin Hood measurement sessions and dinner. Epstein had initiated this by emailing Gates, 'when you are in for Robin Hood, perfect time for you to pitch DAF.' His table guests were recruited by Lesley Groff ('Would you like to invite the same 10 girls per usual to the Robin Hood event?'), and Epstein asked to be listed as 'anonymous' in the Robin Hood program in 2015. These events were the primary social venue connecting Epstein, PTJ, Dubin, Dalio, and Gates.
2014-09-25
Gates-Epstein email Sep 25 2014: Epstein emailed Gates suggesting Robin Hood as venue to pitch DAF plan. Gates replied listing his NYC schedule and noting that Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones and others will be at both events. Confirms Epstein was orchestrating Gates appearances at Robin Hood and knew PTJ would be there.
2014-09-25
Epstein purchased a 30,000 dollar table at the Robin Hood Benefit annually (2015, 2016 confirmed), coordinated through Eva Dubin and managed by Richard Kahn at HBRK Associates. In 2015, Lesley Groff asked Epstein whether he wanted to invite the same 10 girls per usual to the Robin Hood event. This confirms Epstein used PTJ-founded Robin Hood galas as social access points, bringing young women as guests. PTJ co-founded Robin Hood in 1988 with Glenn Dubin.
2015
Epstein forwarded a Singita Grumeti Reserves article to a female contact on Jan 16, 2015, describing PTJ's 346,000-acre lodge: 'It sounds like the realm of fantasy, but this is pretty much the world Wall Street billionaire Paul Tudor Jones (and the few guests able to afford it) get to experience at Sasakwa, the flagship hilltop lodge Mr. Jones built.' The woman replied: 'I told you I had very simple taste\!' followed by multiple Skype scheduling messages. The pattern of Epstein sending luxury lifestyle content to women as enticement, followed by Skype calls, is consistent with his documented grooming methodology.
2015-01-16
Epstein forwarded article about PTJ Singita Grumeti Reserves to an Italian-speaking contact (Jan 16, 2015): text described it sounds like the realm of fantasy describing the 346,000-acre reserve PTJ leases in western corridor of Tanzania Serengeti. The contact replied I told you I had very simple taste. Epstein was using PTJ luxury safari lodge as aspirational social currency in his network, suggesting plans to visit or broker access.
2015-01-16
Sonia Jones (PTJ's wife) and Eva Dubin (Glenn Dubin's wife, Epstein's close social circle) were 'best friends' per Epstein's own characterization. Three categories of evidence: (1) Eva emailed Sonia on Oct 19, 2015 asking her to arrange medical care for Epstein's back pain: 'Jeffrey has a lot of back pain. I really would like for him to see Peter.' Sonia replied: 'Pete will take care of him. I talked to him today and he is on it\!\!' Eva forwarded this to Epstein. (2) Epstein messaged Deepak Chopra on Aug 27, 2016: 'Eva said you were working with Sonia Jones her best friend? So she wanted to be careful.' (3) PTJ and Sonia were co-chairs of the Dubin Breast Center benefits (2011, 2012) alongside Epstein's inner circle. Sonia was the 2013 honoree.
2015-10-19
PTJ and Epstein were both benefit co-chairs for the Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai. The inaugural benefit (Dec 12, 2016) listed co-chairs including 'Sonia and Paul Tudor Jones II' alongside Amy and John Griffin, Veronique and Bob Pittman, and Dubin Breast Center co-directors. The second annual benefit also listed PTJ alongside Steven Cohen, Glenn Dubin, Howard Lutnick, David Shaw, and Kenneth Tropin — all billionaire hedge fund managers, several with documented Epstein connections.
2016-12-12
Epstein forwarded a Bloomberg article about the Hamilton Ponzi scheme to contacts, noting 'Looks like there are many not too shrewd billionaires.' The article named PTJ as a victim of the Meli/Sidikaro Ponzi scheme (February 2017). That Epstein and his circle were following PTJ's financial setbacks fits a broader pattern in which they tracked the affairs of wealthy individuals.
2017-02
Richard Kahn (Epstein financial manager, HBRK Associates) forwarded Bloomberg article to Epstein about PTJ being victimized in Hamilton Broadway Ponzi scheme (Feb 6, 2017), commenting 'Looks like there are many not too shrewd billionaires.' PTJ, Michael Dell, and Och-Ziff executives lost money in Hamilton ticket Ponzi. Kahn's role forwarding this suggests ongoing Epstein interest in PTJ's financial affairs and possible schadenfreude from Epstein's inner circle.
2017-02-06
Epstein forwarded a Bloomberg article (Feb 6, 2017) about a Hamilton tickets Ponzi scheme that victimized PTJ and Michael Dell. Richard Kahn sent it to Epstein with the comment, 'Looks like there are many not too shrewd billionaires.' The article describes PTJ as running 'the billion Tudor Investment Corp., one of the oldest hedge funds,' and notes he helped start the Robin Hood Foundation. The exchange is telling on several counts: Kahn felt free to mock PTJ to Epstein, suggesting PTJ was not a close contact whose standing they sought to protect; it indicates Epstein and his circle were following PTJ's activities; and the same Ponzi scheme also hit Och-Ziff, another platform in which Epstein had invested.
2017-02-06
Richard Kahn forwarded a Bloomberg article to Epstein about PTJ being a victim of the Hamilton tickets Ponzi scheme (Feb 6, 2017), commenting, 'Looks like there are many not to shrewd billionaires.' The article reported PTJ and Michael Dell among 125-plus victims who poured cash into the scam run by Joseph Meli. The exchange indicates Kahn and Epstein were following PTJ's financial affairs, and the mocking tone suggests the Epstein circle did not regard PTJ as a close peer.
2017-02-06
Epstein inquired about PTJ's ownership of Singita Lodge in Tanzania: 'does paul Jones own singita lodge in tanzania? or are they his partners?' (EFTA02695004/EFTA02365057). Epstein separately tried to leverage PTJ's Singita connection — asking a Senegalese contact to meet the owner of Singita Group to manage Niokolo Koba game reserves (EFTA02545671). In Aug 2018, BS Stern recommended 'The Singita people' to Epstein for managing his Caribbean islands: 'They run small spectacular lodges and Gomes for Paul Tudor Jones as well.' Epstein was seeking 'a couple to manage my islands in the carib 50 staff just me.'
2018-08
BS Stern (Barry Stern) recommended Singita lodge operators to Epstein (Aug 29-30, 2018) as potential staff for his Caribbean island: 'The Singita people come to mind but they are based in s Africa I think. They run small spectacular lodges and Gomes for Paul Tudor Jones as well.' Epstein was seeking 'a couple to manage by islands in the carib 50 staff just me.' PTJ's Singita/Tanzania operation served as a known reference point in Epstein's hospitality network as late as August 2018.
2018-08
Epstein appears to have been promoting PTJ's Singita Grumeti management model for West Africa. An African contact sent Epstein the Singita lodge link, asked him to confirm PTJ owned it, and proposed giving PTJ's contact management of the Niokolo Koba game reserves in Senegal with exclusive hotel management. In August 2018, Barry Stern suggested 'The Singita people' as a couple to manage Epstein's private islands in the Caribbean. Across these exchanges, Epstein drew on his knowledge of PTJ's Tanzania operations in his own deal-making.
2018-08
BS Stern (Barry Stern) recommended Singita/PTJ's lodge management to Epstein on Aug 30, 2018 when Epstein was seeking a couple to manage his 'islands in the carib' (50 staff): 'The Singita people come to mind but they are based in s Africa I think. Might as well call them. They run small spectacular lodges and Gomes for Paul Tudor Jones as well.' Epstein replied: 'thank you, i appreciate it. have you figured out how to start having some fun\! springtime of our senility.' This shows PTJ's Singita operation was known as a benchmark for luxury island/lodge management in Epstein's network, and that Epstein was actively seeking to replicate that model for his Caribbean properties in August 2018.
2018-08-30
FEC records show Paul Tudor Jones II is a prolific bipartisan donor. Recipients over 2019-2025 include Debbie Wasserman Schultz (2019-2021), the Biden Victory Fund (2020), Honor Pennsylvania (2022), Marco Rubio (2021), Keystone Renewal PAC (2023-2024), Tim Sheehy for Montana (2024), the Managed Funds Association PAC (2024), and the Florida Democratic Action PAC (2021). Unlike the targeted bundling associated with Epstein's managers (Indyke, Groff, and Kahn coordinating donations to Plaskett and Richardson), PTJ's giving is broad and does not overlap with the Epstein network's political giving clusters. The only recipients shared between PTJ and the Apollo-linked figures are Marco Rubio and the MFA PAC, which reflects standard industry giving rather than evidence of coordination.
