Deep Tide TechFlow News, on February 5th, according to Decrypt, the U.S. Department of Justice recently released documents showing that the relationship between the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Tether co-founder Brock Pierce is closer than previously known. The two began frequent communication after Epstein was convicted of sex crimes in 2008. Email records show that they not only discussed cryptocurrency-related matters but also leveraged each other’s contacts to develop business relationships.

The documents reveal that Epstein introduced Pierce to real estate investor Andrew Farkas, and Pierce provided Epstein with Bitcoin-related information. Additionally, Pierce once invited Epstein to visit his residence in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and expressed a willingness to connect with the Winklevoss twins. After Epstein stated he did not know the Winklevoss twins, Pierce offered to help Epstein establish contact with the two Bitcoin billionaires. Epstein wanted to send someone to meet them and learn about their activities in the cryptocurrency field. Furthermore, Pierce had also included Epstein in plans to acquire the then-still-standing cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox.

These documents are part of over 3 million pages of Epstein-related files released by the U.S. Department of Justice. Previous reports have indicated that Epstein invested in cryptocurrency companies such as Coinbase and Blockstream. Specifically, Epstein provided Brock Pierce with $3 million for investment in Coinbase, although Blockchain Capital stated that Epstein ultimately invested independently in Coinbase separate from Brock Pierce.
