Siegel intermediated access to Giuliani (Sep 2010), introduced Catherine Lurie-Alt (London journalist), and arranged Sitchin meeting. BHC compensation ($3M/yr + $6.5M options) plus Chris-Craft/News Corp $5.3B sale provided substantial wealth. Isbre Water deal pitched to Epstein (2010) still active with Kuwait connection (Mutaz Jafar, Dec 2024 SEC Form D). USVI entity (Siegel Capital VI LLC) needs confirmation. $500K+ Republican/Trump donor. Hudson Institute board overlaps with Kravis, Steinhardt, Perle. Post-scandal loyalty through Jan 2017 dismissing allegations as 'nonsense.' Pattern: Epstein cultivated billionaire media dynasty across generations, converting financial client relationship into social access network.

2010-03-31
Herb Siegel (Bill's father, Chris-Craft Industries/BHC Communications chairman) was one of Epstein's original billionaire clients from his Bear Stearns era, alongside Marvin Davis. This establishes the Epstein-Siegel relationship as multi-generational: Epstein managed Herb Siegel's money in the 1980s, and Bill Siegel maintained a personal friendship with Epstein from at least 2010 through 2017. Bill references his father in the Apr 9, 2010 email: 'Let me know some times that work for lunch with my father.' The Jan 2017 email confirms: 'Just saw my father who sends his best. He is getting up there.'
2010-04-09
Detailed communication pattern reconstruction from DOJ documents: Epstein-Siegel communications followed a consistent pattern of Groff-mediated phone calls plus direct email. Key dates: Apr 9, 2010 (post-ride thank you + Israel article + lunch with father); Apr 29, 2010 (cell/office call); May 4-5, 2010 (Sitchin meeting setup); Aug 31-Sep 1, 2010 (multiple call attempts, Siegel on same call list as Tom Barrack and Jeffrey Leeds); Sep 16-17, 2010 (4:00 PM in-person appointment at 71st St, Giuliani introduction, call list with Mort Zuckerman, Amanda Gefter, Lawrence Krauss); Feb 8, 2013 (Control Factor book + Shirley MacLaine/Zorro Ranch); Mar 30, 2013 (Knicks offer); Apr 1-4, 2013 (walk + Apple Store + book drop-off); Apr 11, 2013 (second Knicks offer); May 5-6, 2013 (3-way email with 'paula' and 'Peter'); May 15, 2013 (playoffs); May 30, 2013 (advice request); Sep 26, 2013 (What city are you in?); Jan 2015 (post-scandal support); Jan 12, 2017 (Eva/father reference).
2010-04-09
Siegel shared a pro-Israel political article chain with Epstein on Apr 9, 2010, about US denial of visas to Israeli nuclear scientists from the Dimona reactor. The forwarding chain included David Steinmann (likely David J. Steinmann, neoconservative activist), Minna Elias, Michael Salzhauer, and Morry Kalimian (major NYC real estate figure). Siegel's cover note: 'Thanks again for the ride. It was great to see you and I enjoyed our conversation very much. I thought this article was interesting.' This reveals (a) Epstein gave Siegel rides in his car, (b) the friendship included substantive political discussion about Israel, (c) Siegel moved in pro-Israel/neoconservative circles overlapping with Epstein's network.
2010-04-09
William D. Siegel is confirmed as trustee of the Hudson Institute (LittleSis entity 33317, EIN 13-1945157), a conservative think tank in Washington DC. He is also the author of The Control Factor: Our Struggle to See the True Threat (2012), a book about radical Islam.

2010-05
Siegel arranged a meeting between Epstein and Zecharia Sitchin, the controversial ancient astronaut theorist and author of The 12th Planet, in May 2010. Groff noted Sitchin was 'in his 90s' and Epstein would send a car. Two documents (May 5 and May 11, 2010) show Siegel making the introduction and follow-up. Sitchin died Oct 9, 2010 at age 90, meaning this meeting occurred in the last months of his life.
2010-05-11
Bill Siegel appeared on Peggy Siegel's NYC socialite guest list (Aug 2010 Wall Street screening event) paired with Monica Crowley, the Fox News commentator and later Trump administration figure. The entry reads: 'Bill Siegel (Monica Crowley) / BUSINESS/ 300/ NEWSCORP/ NEWS AMER/ CRISCRAFT/ LI/ 400/'. The tags NEWSCORP/NEWS AMER/CRISCRAFT indicate Peggy's records still associated him with Chris-Craft/News Corp media connections. This places Siegel in the same social event network as Leon Black, David Koch, Robert Wood Johnson, Maria Bartiromo, and other Epstein-adjacent figures.

Siegel intermediated Epstein meeting with Rudy Giuliani (Sep 2010). Lesley Groff asked Siegel to arrange meeting with Giuliani. Email: Jeffrey wanted you to know he would rather meet with Rudy Giuliani as opposed to his partner this coming Tues or Thurs afternoon. Siegel replied he would try to reach Giuliani but dont expect a quick reply. Demonstrates Siegel as active connector in Epstein network, not passive social contact.
2010-09
SYNTHESIS: William D. Siegel represents a two-generational Epstein relationship — father Herbert Siegel (~$1.1B, Chris-Craft chairman) was an original Bear Stearns-era Epstein client (1980s), while son William maintained 7+ year personal relationship (2010-2017) functioning as active social connector. Siegel intermediated access to Giuliani (Sep 2010), introduced Catherine Lurie-Alt (London journalist), and arranged Sitchin meeting. BHC compensation ($3M/yr + $6.5M options) plus Chris-Craft/News Corp $5.3B sale provided substantial wealth. Isbre Water deal pitched to Epstein (2010) still active with Kuwait connection (Mutaz Jafar, Dec 2024 SEC Form D). USVI entity (Siegel Capital VI LLC) needs confirmation. $500K+ Republican/Trump donor. Hudson Institute board overlaps with Kravis, Steinhardt, Perle. Post-scandal loyalty through Jan 2017 dismissing allegations as 'nonsense.' Pattern: Epstein cultivated billionaire media dynasty across generations, converting financial client relationship into social access network.
2010-09
Siegel arranged meeting between Epstein and Rudy Giuliani in Sep 2010. Lesley Groff emailed Siegel on Sep 17, 2010: 'Jeffrey wanted you to know he would rather meet with Rudy Giuliani as opposed to his partner this coming Tues. or Thurs. afternoon.' Siegel replied he would try to reach Giuliani but warned 'Don't expect a quick reply.' Indicates Siegel served as intermediary with access to Giuliani.
2010-09-17
Bill Siegel brokered a meeting between Jeffrey Epstein and Rudy Giuliani in September 2010. Lesley Groff emailed Siegel on 9/17/2010 saying Jeffrey wanted to meet Giuliani directly rather than his partner. Siegel warned response would be slow. This places Siegel as intermediary with access to Giuliani's inner circle post-conviction.
2010-09-17
Siegel had Knicks floor seats (season tickets) which he regularly offered to Epstein over multiple seasons. Floor seats for Knicks at Madison Square Garden cost approximately 3,000-5,000 per game (2010-2013 era), with season packages in the hundreds of thousands. Documented offers: Feb 3, 2011 (EFTA01832946: 'I have 2 knicks floor seats. If you ever want them let me know'); Mar 30, 2013 (EFTA02386001: 'April 9 I have two floor seats for knicks'); Apr 11, 2013 (EFTA02724041: 'Next wed the 17th is last regular season knick game...if you have someone cuter than me you would prefer to go with I can also give you both seats'); May 15, 2013 (EFTA02388709: 'I think it is last chance- thurs probably see knicks lose and out. Are you around to go?'). Epstein consistently declined but maintained interest in Siegel's company.
2011-02-03
Catherine Alt (also Catherine Lurie-Alt), London-based, was part of a three-way communication circle with Epstein and Siegel. She CC'd both on emails (Apr 2013). She sent articles to Epstein about Israel/Palestine. Alt appears to be a mutual London contact connecting Siegel and Epstein's UK network. USVI registry shows SIEGEL CAPITAL VI LLC (entity 581992, registered 12/28/2011, administratively dissolved, agent: Marjorie Rawls Roberts PC) — suggesting Siegel had USVI corporate presence.

Bill Siegel authored 'The Control Factor: Our Struggle to See the True Threat' (2012, Rowman & Littlefield), a book about Western psychological denial of Islamic extremism. He sent Epstein a FrontPage Magazine interview about it on Feb 8, 2013 (EFTA02521014). Epstein replied: 'I already read it. congratulations hope to see you soon.' Siegel also shared conversations about Shirley MacLaine's Santa Fe ranch and Epstein's Zorro Ranch. This book plus the Israel nuclear visa article (EFTA02426418) and the David Steinmann/Morry Kalimian email chain reveal Siegel's deep involvement in pro-Israel and national security policy circles. Multiple copies were forwarded via Epstein's email to additional recipients.
2013-02-08
Siegel shared FrontPage Magazine interview about his book The Control Factor with Epstein (Feb 8 2013, EFTA02521014). During email exchange, Epstein and Siegel discussed Shirley MacLaine ranch near Santa Fe (Siegel became friendly with MacLaine), and Epstein referenced his Zorro Ranch property. Siegel revealed he was still engaged (not yet married). The FrontPage interview itself (Jamie Glazov) presents hardline anti-Islam analysis. Epstein forwarded/saved 14 pages of the full interview. This shows shared ideological interests between Siegel and Epstein, and that Epstein valued this content enough to archive it.

I am safely back in London and due to travel at the end of the week. Please call me.' The email was sent TO: [email protected] AND Bill Siegel, indicating Alt was a shared contact who socialized with both men, possibly during the same London/NYC visit. Alt also maintained separate correspondence with Epstein about dinner plans in NYC/Paris (Passover 2014, New Year 2013).
2013-04-07
Siegel shared email thread with Epstein and paula referring to unnamed Peter May 2013
2013-05
Three-way email group with 'paula' and Siegel: On May 5, 2013, Epstein sent a message to 'paula' and Bill Siegel simultaneously (EFTA02569425). Siegel replied May 6: 'HAH\! or should I say UGH\! I will send to Peter as to.' The subject is missing but the tone suggests shared political commentary. 'Paula' may be Paula Dobriansky (neoconservative foreign policy figure) or another mutual contact. Siegel's mention of sending to 'Peter' indicates a further distribution network for whatever content Epstein shared.
2013-05-05
New Communications Inc or News Communication is Siegels employer entity per FEC filings 2015-2024
2015
Siegel maintained relationship after 2014 revelations. In Jan 2015, after renewed media focus on Epstein victims, Siegel emailed from St Maarten: Just read the post article and wanted to wish you a happy new year and send a wish 2015 gets all this nonsense behind you. Lets get together some time. Dismissing victim allegations as nonsense while on vacation in Caribbean, same region as Epstein properties.
2015-01
Post-scandal loyalty: On Jan 3, 2015, Siegel emailed Epstein from St. Maarten: 'Just read the post article and wanted to wish you a happy new year and send a wish 2015 gets all this nonsense behind you. Let's get together some time.' This was after Virginia Giuffre's bombshell allegations (Dec 30, 2014, filing in SDFL). Siegel refers to the allegations as 'nonsense.' On Jan 12, 2017, another warm exchange: Siegel references 'Eva' (likely Eva Dubin/Andersson) having a 'JE love festival' with him. He writes: 'When you are in ny let's grab lunch or dinner, with or without Eva. Miss seeing you.'
2015-01-03
