The High Society That Surrounded Jeffrey Epstein – NY Mag 2019/07
Name found in Epstein’s black book.
Adnan Khashoggi: Saudi Arabian man of mystery.
To bolster their argument that private-jet owner Epstein is a massive flight risk, SDNY prosecutors
produced an expired Austrian passport under an alias that listed Saudi Arabia as Epstein’s primary
country of residence.
His lawyers claim the fake ID was for the “personal protection” of “an affluent member of the Jewish faith” traveling in the Middle East, but it could also point to one of his more secretive income sources.
According to his former friend the journalist Jesse Kornbluth, in the mid-1980s Epstein said he “worked
for governments to recover money looted by African dictators” and occasionally subcontracted to
those same autocrats to “help them hide their stolen money.”
A source who spoke with journalist Vicky Ward said one of Epstein’s clients was the late Saudi arms
dealer Khashoggi, a middleman in the Iran-Contra scandal who helped smuggle cash for the Marcos
family out of the Philippines.
In 1988, Khashoggi was arrested in Switzerland for concealing assets and later faced fraud and racketeering charges in the U.S. (He was later acquitted.)
That year, he sold his 282-foot yacht to the Sultan of Brunei, who soon flipped it to Donald Trump. —Matt Stieb
