It needed investment to grow and turned to an unlikely source: Jeffrey Epstein.\u201cWould be nice to meet him if convenient,\u201d Fred Ehrsam, one of Coinbase\u2019s founders, wrote to associates about Mr. Epstein in December 2014 as the financier prepared to make a $3 million investment.By then, Mr. Epstein was already a convicted sex offender, having pleaded guilty to charges of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, but Coinbase took his money all the same. As the company developed over the years into one of the world\u2019s dominant cryptocurrency exchanges, Mr. Epstein\u2019s $3 million investment would net him multimillion-dollar returns, according to newly released documents from the Justice Department detailing the disgraced financier\u2019s life before he was jailed in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges.ImageFred Ehrsam, left, a co-founder of Coinbase, at the 2014 South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.Credit...Tammy Perez\/Getty Images for SXSWThe documents illustrate not only Mr. Epstein\u2019s deep relationships in Silicon Valley but also his ability to gain access to hot deals and buzzy start-ups, some of which would become pillars of today\u2019s tech industry. Along the way, Mr. Epstein was aided by venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and communications professionals, despite growing scrutiny of his abuse of teenage girls and young women.The billionaire Peter Thiel advised Mr. Epstein on potential investments in Palantir, Mr. Thiel\u2019s data analysis company. Mr. Epstein put money into Jawbone, a popular wearable technology start-up, while his financial adviser was pitched on backing SpaceX. And Mr. Epstein tapped a Russian \u00e9migr\u00e9 who had become a public relations expert to help broker meetings with start-up founders and media outlets.Mr. Epstein\u2019s connections to high-profile tech leaders including Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, Reid Hoffman and Mr. Thiel have been well documented, and some have expressed regret for associating with the financier. The latest batch of files offer deeper insights into how Mr. Epstein made his money after his 2008 conviction and continued to fund a lavish lifestyle by amassing assets worth more than $600 million before his 2019 arrest, according to an audit of his finances within the files.Mr. Epstein was introduced to Coinbase by Brock Pierce, a crypto entrepreneur with a checkered financial past, who later sent him frequent updates on the state of the business that were signed by Mr. Ehrsam or Coinbase\u2019s chief executive, Brian Armstrong. In 2018, an investment firm founded by Mr. Pierce sought to buy half of Mr. Epstein\u2019s Coinbase holdings for $15 million. It is unclear if, or when, Mr. Epstein sold the other half.A spokeswoman for Coinbase declined to comment. Mr. Ehrsam did not respond to emailed requests for comment.Mr. Epstein\u2019s connections with tech go back to the dot-com boom, before his criminal activities were made public. He was a frequent guest at tech conferences and at Edge Foundation dinners, which brought together a who\u2019s who of industry luminaries.The investor Jason Calacanis stayed in touch with Mr. Epstein after his 2008 conviction and three years later helped the financier contact a pair of Bitcoin developers, according to emails included in the documents.ImageBrock Pierce, a crypto entrepreneur, introduced Mr. Epstein to Coinbase.Credit...Erika P. Rodriguez for The New York TimesImageJason Calacanis helped Mr. Epstein contact a pair of Bitcoin developers in 2011.Credit...Christie Hemm Klok for The New York Times\u201cI barely knew him, but he was everywhere,\u201d Mr. Calacanis wrote in a social media post after the release of the documents. He added that \u201chis interest in me was probably because I was an angel investor in technology startups.\u201dHosain Rahman, a co-founder of Jawbone, a start-up that made Bluetooth headsets before expanding into wearable fitness trackers, first met Mr. Epstein at a TED conference. In 2012, Ian Osborne, an adviser to executives and political figures, reconnected the pair and encouraged Mr. Epstein to invest in Jawbone. When Woody Allen was filming \u201cBlue Jasmine\u201d in San Francisco, Mr. Epstein invited Mr. Rahman to visit the set, where Mr. Epstein showed off a pair of high-tech eyeglasses.On Wed, Aug 8, 2012, at 11:39 AM, Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation@gmail.com> wrote:yes ,, of course.. im on it,, can talk tomoroow morningOn Wed, Aug, 8 2012, at 11:56 AM Hosain Rahman <REDACTED> wrote:Thinkig about the glasses a lot.

Mr. Epstein threatened legal action against Mr. Rahman over the failure and even hired a private investigator to try to dig up dirt on him, according to a report released by the Justice Department. In 2018, Mr. Rahman offered Mr. Epstein a role as a \u201csenior adviser\u201d in a newly formed company, Jawbone Health, in an attempt to stave off the legal threats.\u201cEpstein put together a special purpose vehicle to invest in Jawbone, and we wish he hadn\u2019t,\u201d Mr. Rahman said in an email. Mr. Osborne declined to comment.In 2012, Ian Osborne, top, an adviser to executives and political figures, reconnected Mr. Epstein and Hosain Rahman, above, a co-founder of Jawbone.Credit...Bryan van der Beek\/Bloomberg, Ethan Miller\/Getty ImagesWith Mr. Epstein, Mr. Osborne also discussed potential investments in cybersecurity companies and Palantir, which Mr. Thiel co-founded. By 2014, Mr. Epstein took an interest in Palantir and, at one point, suggested to Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, that he speak with Mr. Thiel about an advisory role there, according to a recording released by the Justice Department.Mr. Epstein was scheduled to meet with Mr. Thiel several times in 2014, and by that year had started emailing the venture capitalist for investment advice. That October, he asked Mr. Thiel if Palantir was doing a round of financing, before asking Mr. Thiel whether he should invest $100 million in Spotify, the music streaming service, at a $5 billion valuation.In response, Mr. Thiel emailed Mr. Epstein to tell him to \u201chold off\u201d on investing in Spotify. \u201cSomewhat more bullish on Palantir, but I think there is no need to rush,\u201d Mr. Thiel said of his own company.From: Peter Thiel <REDACTED>To: jeffrey e. <jeevacation@gmail.com>Subject: Re:Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2014 22:03:26 +0000Both longer discussions\u2026I would hold off on doing anything in Spotify at $5B. There is some upside (especially in an M&A scenario), but I\u2019m not convinced it\u2019s a great risk\/reward. Risks include: Apple launching new products here, record labels being tougher on contract renegotiations, etc.Somewhat more bullish on Palantir, but I think there is no need to rush.

Mr. Epstein\u2019s estate still possesses these holdings, which were worth about $170 million as of last summer.In a statement last year, Valar said it hoped the \u201ceventual distribution of these investments can be put to positive use by helping victims move forward with their lives.\u201dPeter Thiel, top, advised Mr. Epstein on whether to invest in Palantir, though it\u2019s unclear if the financier ever put money into the company. He did invest $40 million in Mr. Thiel\u2019s Valar Ventures.Credit...Marco Bello\/Getty Images, Ina Fassbender\/Agence France-Presse \u2014 Getty ImagesMr. Epstein gained access to other deals through his relationships at Deutsche Bank, which took him on as a client in 2013 and later paid a $150 million fine for its role in extending his influence. It was through a connection at Deutsche Bank that Paul Barrett, a financial adviser for Mr. Epstein, received an opportunity to invest in SpaceX with a venture capital firm, according to emails released by the Justice Department.In October 2017, Mr. Barrett took a meeting with Vy Capital, an Emirati-based venture firm that offered the chance to invest in a subsidiary company with access to $50 million in SpaceX shares, according to emails released by the Justice Department. At the time, Elon Musk\u2019s rocket manufacturer was worth $22 billion.Mr. Epstein developed a personal relationship with Mr. Musk, who invited the financier for lunch and a tour of SpaceX\u2019s headquarters in 2013. Mr. Epstein also had at least one prior opportunity in 2016 to invest in the company through a different financial adviser, according to his emails, but it is unclear if he ever did.In a statement, a spokeswoman for Vy said the firm had only \u201ca single 30-minute introductory call arranged by Deutsche Bank\u201d with Mr. Barrett and never engaged in business with or interacted with Mr. Epstein.\u201cWe regard his conduct as abhorrent and have never \u2014 and would never \u2014 associate with him in any form,\u201d the spokeswoman said, adding that the firm learned of Mr. Barrett\u2019s connections with Mr. Epstein only after The New York Times contacted it.A spokesman for Deutsche Bank declined to comment. Mr. Barrett did not respond to a request for comment. On social media, Mr. Musk has said he \u201chad very little correspondence with Epstein,\u201d but did not address his meetings with him or the SpaceX tour.In 2017, Mr. Epstein met Masha Drokova, a public relations professional now known as Masha Bucher. Ms. Bucher, who runs a venture capital fund called Day One Ventures, set up a series of meetings for Mr. Epstein with reporters at Forbes, Nature, The Times and other outlets. She also facilitated connections between Mr. Epstein and entrepreneurs, including Bryan Johnson, the longevity influencer and entrepreneur.Mr. Johnson said in a statement that he had held one video meeting with Mr. Epstein and \u201cleft the call feeling as though Epstein was the most dark and evil person I had ever encountered.\u201d A representative for Ms. Bucher did not respond to a request for comment.Mr. Epstein maintained several connections with smaller tech figures and investors throughout the years, including a Bitcoin developer, Jeremy Rubin, and a cybersecurity entrepreneur, Vincenzo Iozzo, who both brought him investment opportunities. In June 2018, Mr. Epstein moved to create a dedicated investment vehicle called Deploy Capital for Mr. Rubin. Emails suggest the plan was to fund it with $5 million.Mr. Rubin and Mr. Iozzo declined to comment.Mr. Rubin expressed concern about how founders might react to taking money from a sex offender. \u201cPotential investments googling your name might get spooked,\u201d he wrote in an email to Mr. Epstein with the subject line \u201cFund Optics.\u201d Mr. Rubin suggested not naming Mr. Epstein and simply telling people, \u201cI raised a fund.\u201dMr. Epstein agreed, but still wanted to meet the founders of Mr. Rubin\u2019s first potential investment, a cryptocurrency company called Layer1. Mr. Rubin suggested that Mr. Epstein obscure his identity by using a pseudonym or just \u201cJeff\u201d on a call with the founders.When Layer1\u2019s founders insisted on knowing whose money Deploy Capital was investing, Mr. Epstein replied in an email to Mr. Rubin that his powerful friend Mr. Thiel would vouch for him.Alex Liegl, a co-founder of Layer1, said the company had not taken money from Mr. Epstein or Deploy Capital and had not discussed them with Mr. Thiel.Still, later that day after getting Mr. Epstein\u2019s email, Mr. Rubin wrote back with good news.\u201cThey\u2019re not bothered,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019ll chat with Thiel.\u201dRyan Mac covers corporate accountability across the global technology industry.Erin Griffith covers tech companies, start-ups and the culture of Silicon Valley from San Francisco.Matthew Goldstein is a Times reporter who covers Wall Street and white-collar crime and housing issues.A version of this article appears in print on Feb. 6, 2026, Section A, Page 1 of the New York edition with the headline: Tech Founders Offered Epstein Access to Deals.
