The records describe The Pierre Trust as a revocable grantor trust formed under a trust agreement dated November 21, 2016, with Lang as trustee, care of her Paris address.

Others pass messages between Epstein and her father, including requests for a face-to-face meeting in 2015 and a phone call in 2017. There is also a hiring question in March 2015 and a 2017 thread about her visiting Bard College. None of these emails, as quoted, describes criminal conduct.

Watch: Caroline Lang in the Epstein files

1:11

Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.

Caroline Lang appears in the files both as a frequent personal and professional correspondent of Jeffrey Epstein and as the trustee and grantor of The Pierre Trust. The trust is recorded as owning 50% of Prytanee, LLC, an entity tied to Epstein's finances.

Of the 309 documents that mention her, 37 are emails with her in the From, To or Cc header. These run from 2012 to 2019 and cover Paris meetups, theater and dinner invitations, travel logistics and requests about her family and contacts. Another 27 investment records and 2 financial records name her as trustee of The Pierre Trust, a revocable grantor trust formed under a November 21, 2016 trust agreement. They give her address as 3 rue du Vieux Colombier, Paris, and describe the trust as the 50% owner of the fund. A bank compliance email about a May 31, 2018 name-screening alert identifies her as grantor/trustee and ultimate beneficial owner of the trust. It says the trust owns 50% of Prytanee, LLC. The remaining mentions are mostly forwarded or repeated copies of the same email threads, plus a couple of society-event lists where the name matches only loosely.

Key Highlights

•The Pierre Trust, with Caroline Lang as trustee, appears in dozens of investment and financial records as the 50% owner of a fund. The other 50% is listed separately, and Darren Indyke, Esq. is the copy contact for notices. The same language recurs across many versions of the documents.
•A bank AML compliance email dated around mid-2018 reviewed a Fircosoft alert for Caroline Lang as Grantor/Trustee and Grantor/UBO of The Pierre Trust, which owns 50% of Prytanee, LLC, an existing private-bank client.
•The investor documents give her source of wealth as her employment as Chairman of Sotheby's Switzerland. They describe her as internationally recognized for her knowledge of the art market, particularly Impressionist and Modern art. Her trust contact email in the records uses a Warner Bros. address.
•Her emails with Epstein run from 2012 to 2019. They include a 2013 invitation to a Pina Bausch performance with Sebastien, Etienne and her mother, a dinner plan in March 2013 and a Paris apartment search in October 2013. Other threads cover a note about the Aga Khan, a possible Marrakech trip and a May 2019 exchange about airport pickup times.
•Several threads in 2015 and 2017 relay messages between Epstein and her father. In November 2015 she wrote that her father needed a real face-to-face meeting to work on something. In February 2017 she wrote from Madrid that her father had asked for Epstein's number. In April 2017 she wrote about visiting Bard College.
•Lesley Groff, who worked for Epstein, forwarded Lang's messages to him in 2014 and 2016. Etienne Binant is copied on a February 2017 thread. Lang also appears alongside Darren Indyke in the trust paperwork.
•The files do not say what the 'fund' or Prytanee, LLC did in practice. They also do not describe wrongdoing by Lang. Several of the connection counts, such as the one to John F. Kennedy and the Woody Allen overlap, are probably driven by shared document sets rather than direct contact.
