More than 100 documents from the Epstein Files released by the US Department of Justice, seen by Byline Times, reveal that Peter Thiel personally solicited and maintained a business partnership with Jeffrey Epstein that stretched from 2014 through 2019 – all the way up to Epstein’s final arrest.
During this period, internal documents and communications confirm that Epstein was a significant limited partner investor in a fund managed by Thiel’s Valar Ventures firm, receiving “confidential” and “time-sensitive” investment opportunities, facilitating meetings between Thiel and Russian intelligence operatives, and building what former MI6 Russia desk head Christopher Steele assessed as a fortune originating from Russian organised crime.
…
On 15 November 2014, Thiel personally emailed Epstein, soliciting $10 to 20 million for Valar Ventures – a venture capital fund Thiel had founded to invest in fintech and financial services companies globally.
