Jeffrey Epstein Emails Show Plans to Meet Gary Gensler To Talk Crypto

Epstein files reveal emails showing Jeffrey Epstein discussed Gary Gensler attending meetings to talk about digital currencies in 2018. The documents also confirm Epstein funded MIT’s Bitcoin developer initiative and invested $3 million in Coinbase and other crypto firms.

However, the files do not confirm any direct financial relationship or verified meeting between Epstein and Gensler. Emails from May 2018 show Epstein telling former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers that “Gary Gensler [is] coming earlier… wants to talk digital currencies.” Summers replied that he knew Gensler from government service and described him as “pretty smart.” The exchange suggests Epstein expected Gensler to participate in discussions involving cryptocurrency.

Separately, internal messages show Epstein referencing crypto-related meetings connected to MIT Media Lab leadership.
