Michael Stroll was the former president of Williams Electronics (known for pinball machines) and Sega Corp. who invested $450,000 in a 1982 oil-drilling deal organized by Jeffrey Epstein, which led to a lawsuit after the investment failed.
Stroll appears exclusively in news articles and investigative reports about Epstein's early financial activities in the 1980s. He is mentioned as an investor who sued Epstein over a failed oil and gas investment deal, though he lost the lawsuit. The mentions include direct quotes from Stroll expressing regret about ever meeting Epstein, calling it "a bad memory" and stating he has "nothing good to say about him." All references to Stroll relate to this single 1982 business transaction that went sour.
