Sergey Belyakov is a former Russian government official and a graduate of the FSB Academy. He served as a bridge between Jeffrey Epstein's network and the Russian sovereign wealth infrastructure.
- Direct Rapport: Multiple emails from 2014–2018 show a close relationship. Belyakov assisted Epstein with obtaining Russian visas and provided feedback on intelligence matters.
- Intelligence Liaison: Belyakov provided feedback from his network identifying "escorts" involved in potential blackmail attempts against businessmen in New York (2015).
- Sanctions & Advisory: Epstein offered to advise Belyakov on circumventing Western sanctions and promised to "do everything that is useful" for him at the RDIF.
Role in the Infrastructure Strategy
- RDIF Coordination: Belyakov was Epstein's primary source within the RDIF, coinciding with Sultan Bin Sulayem's $2 billion joint venture with the fund.
- Sovereign Bridge: His background in both intelligence and economic development made him the Russian counterpart to tactical brokers like David Stern.
