Epstein and Tether co-founder: Decrypted correspondence revealed unexpected connections
Declassified documents from the U.S. Department of Justice showed that Jeffrey Epstein maintained close correspondence with Tether co-founder Brock Pierce for years.
The letters discussed not only crypto assets but also trips, personal connections, and meetings with women. In 2012, Epstein even asked Pierce to take photos in Moscow, Kyiv, and Odessa to find a 'gift' for him. In that same correspondence, Pierce thanked the financier for the 'time spent with the girls.'
Additionally, the correspondence touches on attempts to purchase Mt.Gox, contacts with the Winklevoss brothers, and discussions about possible investments in Coinbase.
The contacts continued until 2019 — shortly before Epstein's second arrest. Representatives of Pierce had previously claimed that the communication was solely in professional spheres.
