The documents show Barrett had trading authorization on Epstein's accounts at Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, and TD Ameritrade, and was compensated approximately $500,000 per year. He appears in over 2,600 documents, making him one of the most frequently mentioned individuals in the Epstein files.

What was Paul Barrett's role at Alpha Group Capital?

Barrett founded Alpha Group Capital LLC as a New York-based multi-family office at 142 W 57th Street to manage Epstein's money directly after leaving JPMorgan. The firm traded across multiple asset classes with defined position limits on Epstein's behalf. In its final SEC filing in January 2019, Alpha Group disclosed managing $252 million for 25 high-net-worth clients. Barrett terminated the firm's SEC registration shortly after Epstein's death in August 2019.

However, in April 2023, Citigroup opened an internal investigation after learning Barrett had scheduled at least five meetings with Epstein between 2014 and 2017 while at JPMorgan.
