Is Fidel Castro in the Epstein files?

Castro's name appears 16 times, but most are false positives—Quora's office address on Castro Street in Mountain View. Only 3-4 documents contain genuine references to the Cuban leader, including one email mentioning a photo with Castro, a discussion of US-Cuba relations, and a 1996 meeting documented in The Realist magazine. There's no evidence of direct connection to Epstein.

Why does Castro appear in Quora emails?

Quora's headquarters is located at 650 Castro Street in Mountain View, California. Their automated newsletter footers containing this address were picked up by entity extraction, creating false positive matches for 'Fidel Castro' in at least 10 documents that are simply Quora Digest emails.

What is the 1996 Castro pistachio nuts story?

According to one document, The Realist magazine published a photo in 1996 showing someone (identified as 'Corey' with a 'humanitarian streak') presenting Fidel Castro with a bag of California-grown pistachio nuts. Castro reportedly responded, 'California, hmmmm, good climate there for nuts.' This appears unrelated to Epstein.

Does the 2016 email show Epstein met Castro?

One October 2016 email mentions 'with fidel castro next to the photo with pope' in context of someone trying to appear important by association with world leaders and scientists. The fragmentary context doesn't clearly indicate who met Castro or when, and may be discussing someone else's photo collection rather than Epstein's direct meetings.

Fidel Castro appears 16 times across documents spanning 2016-2019, but most mentions are false positives—primarily Quora's office address at '650 Castro Street' in Mountain View, CA, rather than references to the Cuban leader.

The majority of mentions (at least 10 of 16) are automated email footers from Quora Digest newsletters containing their corporate address on Castro Street, not references to the historical figure. Only a handful appear to be genuine mentions: one email listing 'castro' among names (possibly referring to the leader), one describing a photo with 'fidel castro' alongside a pope, one document discussing US-Cuba relations and Castro's leadership, and references to someone presenting Castro with pistachio nuts in 1996. The genuine mentions span from historical context about Cuba to what appears to be a personal encounter documented in The Realist magazine.

Key Highlights

•Most 'Castro' mentions are false positives from Quora's Mountain View office address (650 Castro Street), not the Cuban leader
•One 2016 email mentions a photo showing someone 'with fidel castro next to the photo with pope'
•A 2019 email lists 'castro' alongside names like 'queen, pres king pm, mandelson balir' in what appears to be contact networking
•One document discusses the 2015 restoration of US-Cuba diplomatic relations under Obama, mentioning Castro's role in Havana
•The Realist magazine published a 1996 photo of someone presenting Fidel Castro with California pistachio nuts
