Jack Abramoff

Greenberg Traurig, the law firm where Abramoff was a senior lobbyist before his 2006 conviction, also served as Epstein's real estate law firm in Fort Lauderdale. James R. George, GT shareholder in FTL office, handled Epstein matters including real estate closings and Peggy Siegal-related matters. Deutsche Bank records (EFTA02674283) show a Jan 18, 2007 wire transfer of USD 1,293,500 to GREENBERG TRAURIG ET AL TRUST. A separate closing statement (EFTA02679010) shows GT legal fees of 18,000 plus 500 costs on a real estate transaction. GT also appeared in Davos/WEF attendee lists found in Epstein files. However, GT is a 2,600+ lawyer firm - shared use does not imply coordination between Abramoff and Epstein divisions.

Epstein's Wachovia bank statement (EFTA02674283, dated Jan 16-22 2007, account 2000027811649) shows a $1,293,500 wire transfer on 1/18/2007 to GREENBERG TRAURIG ET AL TRUST via Gibraltar Private Banking. Same statement shows massive financial activity including $26.25M to Island Fund 1 LLC, $3.4M to Chicago Title (via Citibank), $2.075M to MOF VI Ltd Partnership (via JPMorgan Chase), $300K to Nicolette Doherty (via Regions Bank), $303.8K to Stryker Duensin (via JPMorgan), $130K to Ralf Heron (via Fifth Third Bank), and $16.9K to Eerdam Holdings (via Wachovia/RBTT Bank NV). The GT Trust wire establishes a direct Epstein-to-Greenberg-Traurig financial relationship in January 2007, when Abramoff had already been convicted (Jan 2006) and left GT (2004). The GT Trust was likely a standard law firm escrow/trust account for Epstein's real estate or other legal matters handled by GT Fort Lauderdale, not connected to Abramoff.

FEC records show Jack Abramoff made 30+ political contributions totaling ~$50K+ while employed at Greenberg Traurig LLP (800 Connecticut Ave NW, Suite 500, Washington DC 20006). Key recipients: ARMPAC (Tom DeLay's PAC, $5K), RICH PAC ($5K), Hawkeye PAC ($5K), First Freedoms Fund ($5K), Bush-Cheney '04 ($2K), Citizens for Arlen Specter ($2K), Keep Our Majority PAC ($2.5K), Senate Victory Fund ($2K), Leadership PAC 2004 ($2K), Charles Taylor for Congress ($2K, listed employer 'SELF EMPLOYED'), Georgians for Isakson ($2K), plus $1.8K to GT's own PAC (C00266585). Also donated $1K each to Cannon for Congress, Bunning, Saxton, Weldon Victory, and Doug Ose (employer: Smith Dawson & Andrews). Exclusively Republican except for $566 to 55th Presidential Inaugural Committee. Overlap with Epstein network donation targets: Specter (also received Dershowitz/Wexner donations) and Bush-Cheney '04.

Indirect connection via shared attorney Abbe Lowell: Lowell defended Abramoff in his 2006 corruption case, and separately had active relationship with Epstein network. Kathy Ruemmler (Epstein top-3 correspondent) emailed Epstein on Sep 17, 2018 saying 'Dinner with Abbe Lowell tonight.' On Nov 5, 2017, Ruemmler told Epstein in email with Michael Wolff: 'FYI, just had Abbe Lowell on the phone for an hour defending Kushner.' Lowell thus bridges Abramoff-Ruemmler-Epstein-Kushner networks, though this is a 2-hop connection, not direct Abramoff-Epstein contact.

Shared defense attorney Abbe Lowell connects Abramoff to Epstein network via Dershowitz

Abbe David Lowell represented Abramoff in DDC corruption case 1:06-cr-00001, listed as attorney of record. Lowell is quoted in EFTA01368196 (Epstein case document) as saying about Dershowitz: He has been that kind of lightning rod. Lowell represented multiple high-profile defendants including Abramoff and Hunter Biden. The shared defense attorney creates a second-degree connection from Abramoff to Epstein through Dershowitz.

SunCruz Casino LLC lobbying records confirm Abramoff network: LDA registration (Greenberg Traurig) filed 2001-03-02, terminated mid-year 2001. Lobbying areas: Taxation, Gaming/Gambling/Casino, Marine/Maritime, Travel/Tourism. Full Abramoff team on filing: Jack Abramoff, Kevin Ring, Tony Rudy, Todd Boulanger, Shana Tesler, Shawn Vasell, Alan Slomowitz, Ronald Platt, Amy Berger, James Forrest Miller, Padgett Wilson, Gary Shiffman. Ring and Rudy later convicted in related cases. SunCruz Casinos LLC v. Kidan (02-02352, S.D. Fla. Bankr.) and SunCruz Casinos LLC v. Scanlon (03-02602, S.D. Fla. Bankr.) show post-acquisition civil litigation. SunCruz acquisition by Abramoff and Kidan was central to the separate S.D. Florida wire fraud case.

Abramoff has 5 federal criminal cases across 4 jurisdictions spanning 2005-2026 plus SEC enforcement

DDC 1:06-cr-00001 (corruption, Judge Huvelle, Abbe Lowell defense). SDFL 0:05-cr-60204 US v. Kidan (SunCruz wire fraud, Judge Huck). NDCA 3:20-cr-00260 (crypto/AML fraud 2020). NDCA 3:20-cv-04190 (SEC enforcement). D.Md 8:26-cr-00010 (filed/terminated Jan 2026, likely plea). Civil: Coushatta Tribe v. Abramoff WDLA, Wells Fargo v. Kidan SDFL.

SDFL jurisdiction overlap: both Abramoff SunCruz plea and Epstein NPA processed under US Attorney Acosta 2005-2008

Abramoff pled guilty in SDFL case 0:05-cr-60204 (US v. Kidan, Judge Huck) on Jan 4, 2006. R. Alexander Acosta served as US Attorney for SDFL from 2005-2009. During the same period, Acosta's office negotiated and executed the controversial Non-Prosecution Agreement with Epstein in 2007-2008. Both cases were processed through the same SDFL office under the same US Attorney. This is a structural overlap at the prosecutorial level, not a direct case connection.

Co-conspirator David Safavian prosecuted separately: United States v. SAFAVIAN, 1:05-cr-00370, D.D.C. Filed 2005-10-05. Safavian was GSA Chief of Staff convicted of obstruction and making false statements related to Abramoff-funded Scotland golf trip paid by Capital Athletic Foundation. Case went through multiple D.C. Circuit appeals (06-3139, 06-3169, 06-3171, 09-3112). First conviction vacated, retried and reconvicted 2009. Disbarment proceedings reached DC Court of Appeals (In re Safavian, 29 A.3d 470, 2011; 157 A.3d 760, 2017) and SCOTUS (137 S. Ct. 1620, 2017). CAF funding of golf trip was central evidence.

Primary criminal case: United States v. ABRAMOFF, 1:06-cr-00001, D.D.C., filed 2006-01-03. Judge Ellen S. Huvelle presided. Abramoff pled guilty to fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy to bribe public officials. Capital Athletic Foundation was central to the information/plea agreement as a vehicle for laundering tribal gaming client funds. Last docket filing 2015-01-27. Huvelle also presided over related matters including a 2014 restitution/sentencing opinion (55 F. Supp. 3d 84). No overlap with Epstein judges (Marra in SDFL, Berman/Nathan in SDNY).

Tribal client civil suit: Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana v. Abramoff et al., 2:07-cv-01886, W.D. Louisiana (Judge Tucker Melancon). Filed 2007-11-09, terminated 2008-01-23. Nature of suit: Insurance. Plaintiff Coushatta Tribe, defendant Abramoff et al. This was one of multiple tribal client civil actions seeking restitution after Abramoff's criminal plea revealed he defrauded tribal gaming clients of millions channeled through Capital Athletic Foundation and other vehicles.

FARA registration 6439: Abramoff registered as foreign agent June 2017 (post-prison) for Costel Iancu representing Democratic Republic of Congo via Global Structures Group in Bucharest. Terminated same year. Address: 812 Edelblut Drive, Silver Spring MD 20901. Greenberg Traurig (former firm) separately registered FARA 5712 (active since 2005) for Turkey, Kurdistan, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Panama, El Salvador, Ghana, Belarus. LDA lobbying records show Abramoff was listed as lobbyist at both Greenberg Traurig (registrant 16896) and K&L Gates (registrant 32098, formerly Preston Gates Ellis). Both firms had Abramoff's tribal clients.

FARA registration #6439: Jack Alan Abramoff registered as foreign agent on 06/21/2017 (post-prison, status: Terminated 12/31/2016). Registered address: 812 Edelblut Drive, Silver Spring MD 20901-1411. Foreign principal: Costel Iancu of Global Structures Group, Bucharest Romania, representing interests of the DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO. Business address: Benjamin Franklin St., No. 9, Et. 3, Ap. 6, Sector 1, Bucharest. This is Abramoff's only FARA registration in his own name — his earlier foreign lobbying for Saipan/CNMI, Channel Islands, and other interests was conducted through Preston Gates Ellis and Greenberg Traurig without personal FARA registration, which was part of the basis for his prosecution.

FARA registration #6439: post-prison, represented Costel Iancu/Global Structures Group for DRC interests, registered and terminated same day 2017

Abramoff registered under FARA as registration #6439 on June 21, 2017 (post-prison release). Foreign principal: Costel Iancu of Global Structures Group, Bucharest Romania, representing interests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Registration and termination both dated 06/21/2017, indicating retroactive disclosure filing. Home address listed as 812 Edelblut Drive, Silver Spring, MD 20901. This was during the same period he was involved in the NAC Foundation cryptocurrency scheme.

AML Bitcoin crypto fraud - second federal conviction (2020): Abramoff pled guilty to wire fraud conspiracy and Lobbying Disclosure Act violation in June 2020. Beginning June 2017, Abramoff was paid 220K by Marcus Andrade (NAC Foundation LLC, LittleSis 428726) to market AML BitCoin, a fraudulent ICO that raised 5.6M from 2400+ investors claiming anti-money-laundering technology that did not exist. SEC and DOJ charged the scheme simultaneously. Abramoff sentenced to 3 years federal probation. Andrade found guilty at trial March 2025, blaming Abramoff for orchestrating schemes behind his back. This was Abramoff's SECOND federal conviction after his 2006 corruption case, making him a serial federal offender who served 43 months on first sentence and received probation on second.

New criminal case US v. Abramoff 8:26-cr-00010 filed and terminated January 9, 2026 in D. Maryland, Judge Paula Xinis

A new federal criminal case was filed against Abramoff in the District of Maryland on January 9, 2026 and terminated the same day, suggesting either a plea agreement or sealed proceedings. Case number 8:26-cr-00010, assigned to Judge Paula Xinis. This follows his 2020 cryptocurrency fraud conviction (NDCA 3:20-cr-00260) where last filing was March 2025. The rapid filing-to-termination suggests a coordinated plea or cooperation agreement.

New criminal case: United States v. Abramoff, 8:26-cr-00010, D. Maryland (Judge Paula Xinis). Filed 2026-01-09, terminated same day (2026-01-09). PACER case ID 597342. This is a NEW federal criminal case in Maryland filed January 2026 -- filed and terminated same day suggests a plea agreement or information filed with immediate resolution. Abramoff's Silver Spring MD address matches FARA registration address (812 Edelblut Drive, Silver Spring MD 20901). Nature unclear from docket metadata alone but warrants follow-up.

LDA lobbying registrations confirm Abramoff registered as a lobbyist through two firms: (1) Greenberg Traurig LLP (registrant ID 16896, 2101 L Street NW Suite 1000, Washington DC 20037), and (2) K&L Gates LLP (registrant ID 32098, formerly Preston Gates Ellis & Rouvelas Meeds, 1601 K Street NW, Washington DC 20006). SunCruz Casino LLC was registered as a GT lobbying client (2001 Registration + Mid-Year Termination) covering Taxation, Gaming/Gambling/Casino, Marine/Maritime, and Travel/Tourism issues. Income reported as $0 on the termination filing. GT also has 20+ active LDA lobbying filings as a registrant and 5 FARA registrations representing Turkey, Panama, Kurdistan, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and others. Abramoff's K&L Gates registration confirms the firm was previously Preston Gates Ellis.

LDA filings confirm Abramoff registered as lobbyist at both Greenberg Traurig LLP and K&L Gates LLP (successor to Preston Gates & Ellis)

Senate LDA records show Abramoff (Jack A., lobbyist ID 3170) registered at Greenberg Traurig LLP (registrant 16896) and separately at K&L Gates LLP (registrant 32098, lobbyist ID 22745). Preston Gates Ellis & Rouvelas Meeds LLP had 5 FARA registrations (reg# 5583, 5518, 5300, 3567, 5652) representing Iraq (Ayad Allawi), Somalia (Puntland and Transitional Federal Government), Marshall Islands, Pakistan, Japan, Canada, Montenegro, Chile, and Nauru. K&L Gates is the successor firm to Preston Gates.

OpenSanctions lists Jack Abramoff (Q471854) as a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) and person with Relevant Criminal Activity (RCA). Full name: Jack Allan Abramoff, born February 28, 1959 in Atlantic City. Education: Beverly Hills High School, Brandeis University, Georgetown University Law Center. Political affiliation: Republican Party. US citizenship. Maintained across wikidata and wd_categories datasets. First seen in sanctions data 2025-01-29, last updated 2026-02-13. Description: American Republican lobbyist (born 1959). Website: abramoff.com.

Abramoff current status and career trajectory (as of Feb 2026): Born Feb 28, 1959 (age 66). Three career phases: (1) College Republicans chairman 1981-85, IFF founder 1986, film producer 1986-94 (Red Scorpion with Dolph Lundgren); (2) Superlobbyist at Preston Gates 1994-2001 then Greenberg Traurig 2001-2004. Convicted Jan 2006, served 43 months at Cumberland FCI, released Dec 2010; (3) Post-prison: reform advocate and author (Capitol Punishment, 2011), returned to lobbying for Congo (FARA registered 2017), joined AML Bitcoin crypto fraud (convicted 2020, 3yr probation), currently involved in film production and medical equipment importation per LinkedIn. Address: Silver Spring MD. Two federal convictions. OpenSanctions flags as PEP and RCA (Relevant Criminal Activity). Three-time pattern: IFF intelligence front, tribal gaming fraud, crypto fraud - each involving nonprofits or entities used as conduits for financial schemes.

International Freedom Foundation was South African apartheid intelligence front: Abramoff founded IFF in 1986 in Washington DC. South Africa TRC revealed in 1995 that apartheid regime launched IFF (code-named Operation Babushka), paying it 1.5M per year until 1992. IFF portrayed ANC/Mandela as Soviet-aligned terrorists and recruited Republican politicians to counter sanctions pressure. IFF had offices in DC, London, Hamburg, Brussels, Rome, and Johannesburg. This establishes Abramoff as having served a foreign intelligence operation from age 27, well before his lobbying career. His willingness to serve as a front for foreign intelligence operations parallels allegations about Epstein serving Israeli intelligence, though Abramoff worked for South African SADF and Epstein allegedly for Mossad/AMAN. Both cases involve Americans running influence operations on behalf of allied nations with plausible deniability.

Capital Athletic Foundation nonprofit conduit: Founded by Abramoff in 2000, CAF collected nearly 6M in first four years with a stated mission to provide youth athletic opportunities. Less than 1 pct of revenue went to sports programs. Major diversions: 120K for golf trip to St Andrews for Abramoff, Rep Bob Ney, Ralph Reed, and GSA Chief of Staff David Safavian; 330K reported as grants to four charities that say they never received the money; funds channeled to Eshkol Academy (Orthodox Jewish school Abramoff founded in Maryland, closed 2004); political causes. CAF mirrors Epstein pattern of using nonprofits as influence conduits (Gratitude America, IPI, HDI). Both used 501c3 entities to move money outside normal disclosure requirements. Key difference: Abramoff defrauded tribal gaming clients into funding his foundation while Epstein funded his own nonprofits through investment income.

Comprehensive negative result: Capital Athletic Foundation not found as a named party in any court case on CourtListener. CAF was never separately indicted -- it was referenced in the Abramoff information/plea but not independently charged. No CAF 990 records in ProPublica (IRS revocation likely 2006-2008 before PP database coverage). Zero CAF or Abramoff hits in DOJ Vol 11 EFTA corpus (331K docs), zero in Epstein 20K, zero in DugganUSA for Abramoff specifically. CourtListener crossover search for Abramoff+Epstein returned false positive matches only -- no single case or opinion mentions both. No crossover in FARA filings, LDA lobbying, or ingested investigation reports.

Greenberg Traurig as institutional nexus (Abramoff-Epstein bridge): GT served both Abramoff (DC office, Senior Director of Government Affairs, until 2004 firing) and Epstein (Fort Lauderdale office, James R George shareholder, real estate and trust matters). GT received 1.29M wire to GT Trust account on Jan 18 2007 from Epstein Wachovia account (EFTA02674283). GT also led the 5-year legal battle to release the 2006 Epstein Florida grand jury transcripts on behalf of Palm Beach Post (succeeded July 2024). GT maintains 5 FARA registrations representing 20+ foreign principals including Turkey, Kurdistan, Panama, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Belarus. As a 2600-attorney firm, the Abramoff and Epstein engagements involved different offices and attorneys - this is institutional overlap, not evidence of coordination.

Abramoff-Erickson-Butina-Russia nexus: Paul Erickson (LittleSis 325123), Abramoff business partner since 1988 Red Scorpion co-production, was convicted for wire fraud in connection with Maria Butina, Russian agent who infiltrated NRA. In 1995, Erickson lobbied for Mobutu Sese Seko alongside Abramoff and David Keene (NRA president). In summer 2018, Wells Fargo flagged two 15K wire transfers from Erickson-Butina joint account to Landfair Capital Consulting, California company incorporated March 2017 with Abramoff son Alex as CEO and brother Robert as agent. Cell phone evidence shows Abramoff discussing 750K Landfair invoice with Alexander Levin, US-Ukraine businessman with oligarch ties. Abramoff not charged but Landfair dissolved July 2019.

Post-prison FARA-registered Congo lobbying (2016-17): After release from prison in 2010 and positioning himself as a reform advocate, Abramoff resumed unregistered foreign lobbying. In late 2016-early 2017, he facilitated contact between Denis Sassou Nguesso, president of Republic of Congo, and the incoming Trump administration through Costel Iancu (Italian national, Global Structures Group, Bucharest Romania). Abramoff contacted Rep Dana Rohrabacher (old friend, LittleSis) to arrange meetings. Rohrabacher visited Congo February 2017. DOJ subsequently required retroactive FARA registration 6439 on 06/21/2017, terminated same day. Address: 812 Edelblut Drive, Silver Spring MD 20901. This mirrors the Abramoff-Erickson-Mobutu Congo connection from 1995, showing a persistent pattern of Central African dictator representation spanning 22 years.

CNMI trafficking-to-Labor Department pipeline: Abramoff and Patrick Pizzella lobbied at Preston Gates Ellis from 1995-2001 to block minimum wage and immigration reform for CNMI/Saipan, where 30K garment workers (many Chinese, Filipino, Bangladeshi) were subjected to forced labor at 3.05/hr (vs federal 5.15/hr), forced abortions, and sex trafficking while producing Made in USA goods. DOI documented forced prostitution in local sex-tourism industry. Abramoff team spent at least 6.7M of CNMI funds and killed 29 reform bills. Pizzella later became Deputy Secretary of Labor (2018) and Acting Secretary of Labor (July 12, 2019) - directly replacing Alexander Acosta, who resigned over his Epstein plea deal. The man who replaced the man who protected Epstein had spent 6 years protecting the CNMI forced-labor and sex-trafficking system.

Comprehensive negative results across corporate, financial, and regulatory databases. Zero hits for Abramoff in: corporate registries (CO/FL/NY/NM/PA/VI/UK/CA), UCC filings, FAA aircraft registry, USVI corporate registry, NYC ACRIS property records (100 results all different Abramoffs), DS10 Deutsche Bank transactions, GLEIF LEI database (3 hits are unrelated — Aaron's Trading Inc at c/o Thierry C Abramoff in Miami FL), SEC EDGAR (70 filings mention 'Abramoff' but none are the lobbyist — top hit is Chiron Corp proxy filings), ProPublica 990 (0 for 'Abramoff', Capital Athletic Foundation not found as DC nonprofit, American International Center returns unrelated orgs). Epstein 20K also zero. This is investigatively significant: Abramoff operated primarily in DC/Maryland jurisdictions not covered by our registry tools, and his nonprofit conduits (Capital Athletic Foundation, American International Center) are not in ProPublica's database likely due to revoked tax-exempt status post-scandal.

FL SunBiz re-verified Feb 15 2026 after entity-name search fix (corprindata→cordata). Generic name matches found but none connected to Epstein network (no known associates as officers, no known addresses). Original conclusion unchanged.

Exhaustive search of 1M+ page corpus (DOJ Vol 11 331K, DugganUSA 204K, LMSBAND 60K, Unified 70K, Epstein 20K, Investigations DB) yields only ONE incidental mention of Jack Abramoff: EFTA01368196, a news article about Dershowitz noting that Abbe Lowell's clients have included the lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Zero direct communications, zero financial transactions, zero schedule entries between Epstein and Abramoff. This absence across 700K+ pages constitutes meaningful negative evidence of no direct relationship.

Zero results for core Abramoff network associates in Epstein corpus: SunCruz Casinos (0 hits all DBs), Adam Kidan (0), Michael Scanlon (0 - only Neil Scanlon at GoldenTree), Daniel Lapin (0), Capital Athletic Foundation (false positives only - Law360 newsletter sidebar matches), CNMI/Northern Mariana/Saipan (2 generic regulatory mentions only). Abramoff network associates Tom DeLay, Bob Ney, and Ralph Reed also returned zero genuine hits - all matches were false positives (Tom Pritzker flight delay, generic Bob/Ralph names). Grover Norquist appeared once in a Bill Moyers transcript (EFTA02674587) but with no Epstein connection.

LittleSis entity 26331 maps 50+ relationships for Jack Abramoff. Key associates: co-conspirators Bob Ney (entity 13723, former OH Rep) and Neil Volz (entity 20135, Ney's chief of staff turned witness), business partner Marcus Andrade (428725, NAC Foundation), Michael Scanlon (25982, former DeLay aide/Abramoff partner who defrauded tribes), business associate Paul Erickson (325123, conservative operative tied to Russian interference probe), close colleague Grover Norquist (20022, anti-tax activist). Abramoff typed as Person+Lobbyist. Campaign contributions to 20+ political figures tracked. LittleSis shows NO direct relationship link to Jeffrey Epstein (entity 36043), despite both being in the database. Network analysis confirms the two operated in adjacent but non-overlapping influence spheres.

Zero direct mentions in Epstein DOJ Vol 11 (331K docs), DugganUSA (204K docs), Epstein 20K, or investigation PDFs; only tangential mention via shared attorney in LMSBAND/Unified

Exhaustive corpus search found: DOJ Vol 11: 0 results. DugganUSA: 0 results. LMSBAND: 1 result (EFTA01368196 - NYT article mentioning Abbe Lowell as Abramoff attorney in context of Dershowitz profile). Unified DB: 1 result (same document). Epstein 20K: 0 results. Investigation PDFs: 0 results. EpsteinExposed: 2 results (same doc + variant). This strongly suggests Abramoff and Epstein operated in different spheres despite both being DC-adjacent influence operators. No correspondence, no shared entities, no co-mentions in primary documents.

Attorney overlap analysis: Abbe Lowell represented Abramoff (confirmed in LMSBAND EFTA01368196 and LittleSis). Lowell also represented Alan Dershowitz in Epstein-related defamation cases (Giuffre v. Dershowitz). This is the sole confirmed attorney crossover between Abramoff/CAF and Epstein networks. No overlap found in presiding judges: Abramoff/CAF cases were before Huvelle (D.D.C.), Melancon (W.D. La.), and Xinis (D. Md.), while Epstein cases were before Marra (S.D. Fla.), Berman/Nathan (S.D.N.Y.). No Ken Starr, no Jay Lefkowitz, no Dershowitz direct involvement in Abramoff defense. The Lowell connection is a shared defense attorney pattern rather than an operational link.

Greenberg Traurig (Abramoff employer) appears 214 times in Epstein document corpus but as legal newsletter recipient not direct connection

Greenberg Traurig LLP, where Abramoff served as Senior Director of Government Affairs, appears 214 times in the DugganUSA Epstein document corpus. However, these are primarily Law360 legal newsletters forwarded to Epstein email accounts mentioning the firm in unrelated litigation. GT also represented a Putin-linked Russian oligarch (EFTA00032738) and had FARA registrations for Turkey, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Panama, and others. No evidence GT handled Epstein-related matters directly.
