Subject: (no subject)

Content Summary

In this email, David Stern informs Jeffrey Epstein about a potential joint venture (JV) with a high-net-worth contact. He describes the contact as a "friend of mine" and cites a Forbes profile to establish their financial standing:

"Friend of mine (US$ 10.6 bn according to Forbes) www.forbes.com/profile/hui-=a-yan/ wants to do JV"

Analysis & Significance

  1. Identity of the Contact: The URL points to Hui Ka Yan (Xu Jiayin), the chairman of China Evergrande Group. Hui Ka Yan was one of China's most powerful infrastructure and real estate moguls during this period.
  2. Timing (Nov 2015): The email coincides with the intensification of the Dubai v Djibouti legal battle. Stern was simultaneously managing the Boreh investigation for Djibouti while secretively cheering on Boreh's progress in private emails to Epstein.
  3. The Infrastructure Bridge: This evidence confirms that Stern was leveraging his "China rolodex" (as credited by Sarah Ferguson) to bring massive Chinese liquidity into the network's orbit. The proposal for a JV with the head of Evergrande suggests an attempt to integrate Chinese property/infrastructure giants into the "African investment vehicle" strategy.
  4. Sovereign Intermediation: This further positions Epstein and Stern as the primary brokers facilitating the transition of influence from UAE (DP World) toward Chinese-aligned entities.
