Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender who maintained a vast network of wealthy and powerful associates globally, including in Djibouti. He acted as a shadow broker, leveraging social and political capital to facilitate complex sovereign-level deals.
Connection to Djibouti
- Meetings with Officials: Documents released in 2024 suggest Epstein was introduced to Djibouti's President Ismail Omar Guelleh in September 2011.
- "Owner" Claims: Epstein reportedly claimed to his circles that he "owned Djibouti," likely referring to his significant influence or financial ties.
- The "Djibouti Friend": In emails with Sultan Bin Sulayem (EFTA00918605), reference was made to a "Djibouti friend" regarding social gatherings involving young women.
- Royal Orchestration: Epstein leveraged his relationship with Sarah Ferguson (who introduced him to David Stern in 2010) and Prince Andrew to build a "sovereign-grade" infrastructure network.
