American businessman (1934–2021)
Jimmy Cayne appears in 67 mentions across 33 documents, primarily in articles and emails discussing Jeffrey Epstein's early career at Bear Stearns. Cayne, who became CEO of Bear Stearns, is consistently described as Epstein's mentor and protégé sponsor during his time at the firm in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Cayne appears exclusively as a historical figure mentioned in retrospective articles and emails about Epstein's career trajectory. He is not a direct participant in any of the documents—rather, he is referenced in business profiles and investigative pieces examining Epstein's rise at Bear Stearns. Multiple mentions describe how Cayne, like Ace Greenberg, was hired by Greenberg on a whim (meeting him at a bridge game) and later became Epstein's mentor. Several documents note that Cayne endorsed Epstein's science foundation and maintained a relationship with him even after Epstein left Bear Stearns in 1981-1982.
