Who is William Riley in the Epstein files?

William Riley was a Miami-based private investigator who ran the firm Riley Kiraly and was retained by Jeffrey Epstein during the 2006-2007 criminal investigation. Most notably, Riley received computer equipment that had been removed from Epstein's Palm Beach residence during the investigation, raising questions about potential evidence tampering or destruction.

What did William Riley do with Epstein's computers?

According to FBI documents, investigator Paul Lavery retrieved computer equipment from Epstein's house (already in boxes) and delivered it to William Riley after 'Epstein or Roy Black somehow found out' about the investigation. Lavery stated he had the computers 'for a few days, probably over a weekend' before delivering them to Riley. Federal prosecutors subpoenaed Riley to testify about what happened to this equipment.

Why was William Riley subpoenaed in the Epstein case?

Riley was subpoenaed both personally and as custodian of records for Riley Kiraly to testify before a federal grand jury in July 2007. Prosecutors sought documents about Riley's relationship with Epstein, the computer equipment he received, and any work performed for Epstein. The subpoenas requested 'all documents and information related to the nature of the relationship' between Riley/Riley Kiraly and Epstein, including agreements, billing statements, and correspondence.

Is William Riley in the Epstein files the same as Sascha Riley's father?

No. There are multiple people named William Riley mentioned in Epstein-related materials. The William Riley who ran Riley Kiraly investigation firm is a different person from William Kyle Riley, a pilot from Georgia who is Sascha Riley's adoptive father. There was also a William John Riley, a former FBI agent and private investigator who worked on Epstein's 2006 case and passed away in 2011.

William Riley was a private investigator who ran Riley Kiraly, a Miami-based investigation firm that worked for Jeffrey Epstein during the 2006-2007 criminal investigation, most notably handling the removal of computers from Epstein's residence after law enforcement became aware of evidence.

Riley appears primarily in high-signal legal documents: federal grand jury subpoenas, FBI investigation records, court filings, and prosecutor communications during the 2006-2007 Palm Beach investigation. Most significantly, documents detail how investigator Paul Lavery retrieved computer equipment from Epstein's house and delivered it to William Riley, who was apparently retained by Epstein or his legal team. Riley and his firm Riley Kiraly were subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury and provide documents about their relationship with Epstein. Lower-signal mentions include routine LinkedIn endorsement emails and address book entries. Financial records show a $50,000 wire payment to William Riley in October 2009, suggesting ongoing work for Epstein after the initial case concluded.

Key Highlights

•Riley received computer equipment removed from Epstein's residence during the 2006 criminal investigation, potentially evidence that should have been preserved for law enforcement
•Both Riley personally and his firm Riley Kiraly were subpoenaed to appear before federal grand jury FGJ 07-103(WPB) in July 2007
•Epstein later moved to intervene and quash these subpoenas through attorney Roy Black, indicating the sensitive nature of Riley's work
•Prosecutors specifically wanted documents about Riley's relationship with Epstein, including retainer agreements, employment contracts, and billing statements
•Personal correspondence shows Riley remained in contact with Epstein after the case, with emails as late as 2017 discussing email address changes
