Epstein unreleased email claim of contact with Bitcoin founders stirs controversy
An email in a large set of documents released by the U.S. Justice Department shows Jeffrey Epstein claiming he held direct talks with some of Bitcoin’s founders, describing them as excited about his new currency idea. The 2016 email was sent from his personal Gmail account to two Saudi acquaintances. Additional disclosed emails connect Epstein to early cryptocurrency figures and debates, though related claims circulating online remain unverified.
