German businessman, former aide to Prince Andrew, and Epstein associate
David Stern was a German-born financier and close business associate of Jeffrey Epstein who appears extensively in the released documents, exchanging hundreds of personal emails, pitching investment deals, and coordinating frequent in-person meetings from at least 2009 through 2018.
Stern appears in direct personal emails to Epstein discussing business deals involving China, Qatar, Russia, and electric vehicle startups. Travel records and schedules show regular appointments at Epstein's New York residence and Paris apartment, often alongside figures like Leon Black and Leonhard Fischer. Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff coordinated meetings between the two. Many of the 3,200 document mentions reflect Stern's role as a business intermediary, including pitching investment opportunities and brokering introductions to influential figures. His emails reference international shareholders, potential deals, and travel logistics, painting a picture of an active and ongoing professional relationship that continued well after Epstein's 2008 conviction.
Key Highlights
- •Stern exchanged direct personal emails with Epstein as late as July 2018, discussing business in Moscow, Qatari contacts, and the death of a Chinese shareholder
- •Travel records show scheduled appointments with Stern at Epstein's Paris apartment in September 2015, the same day Epstein had calls with Leon Black and a conference call with Alan Dershowitz
- •Stern appeared at joint meetings with Leonhard Fischer at Epstein's New York residence and had regular solo appointments with Epstein coordinated through assistant Lesley Groff
- •In one email, Stern joked about being trained by Epstein to fly commercial, suggesting he had previously traveled on Epstein's private aircraft
