Overview
- Emails from the DOJ release show a 2016 proposal that would have given Jeffrey Epstein a stake in the Pentagon Center complex about one mile from the Pentagon, described in investor materials as a mission-critical Defense Department site.
- Documents detail a planned $387 million acquisition requiring roughly $116 million in equity and projecting about $27 million in annual net operating income.
- A 2015 exchange outlines a separate pitch to acquire FBI field offices in Richmond and Baltimore and various U.S. courthouses, with an initial $25 million outlay followed by $80 million through a Cayman Islands structure.
- Records identify David Stern as the intermediary who forwarded the proposals to Epstein and Jonathan Fascitelli of International Government Properties as the originator.
- Reporters note no indication that any deal closed, and the files also contain an FBI informant memo alleging Israeli intelligence ties plus logs showing frequent visits by former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, which remain unverified.
