Overview
- The Justice Department’s latest document release includes January 2019 emails between Jeffrey Epstein and pilot Larry Visoski discussing Russell Wilson’s interest in viewing a Gulfstream G‑IV, with notes that he took photos with his wife, Ciara, and that a broker said Wilson was calling “non‑stop.”
- The thread outlines proposed structures for a potential deal, including a $500,000 non‑refundable option with a 90‑day window at $2.7 million, and a separate $3.2 million purchase scenario with upgrade and maintenance costs.
- Emails describe concerns about optics during Wilson’s then‑ongoing Seahawks contract negotiations and suggest holding the aircraft until a new deal was signed.
- Wilson posted on X that he never met or spoke with Epstein, said a random broker tried to sell him a plane, and insisted he did not buy it.
- Wilson’s publicist said he never purchased the aircraft and did not know of any Epstein connection, and later FAA records show a different Gulfstream G‑IV was registered to his LLC in December 2020.
