1:20

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

David J. Giuffrida appears in the files as a working-level contact on Jeffrey Epstein's investment accounts. He sent and received emails about the "Financial Trust" and "Haze Trust" accounts, including mark-to-market (MTM) valuation reports, trades and margin transfers, between 2011 and 2013. The files show him doing account administration and portfolio communication alongside Paul Barrett and Amanda Ens. They do not show him doing anything outside that role.

Giuffrida is in the From/To/Cc header of about 50 of the 156 emails that mention him. Most of those are Paul Barrett's investment ideas to Epstein, with Giuffrida copied. He also wrote to Epstein himself, with Barrett and others copied, on topics such as "Financial Trust MTMs" (valuation reports), "FB" (a May 2012 email), "Equity purchase details" and "Jawbone" (a June 2012 email). In October 2011 he was copied on Amanda Ens's requests to move cash to margin for the Financial Trust. Two non-email records are address-book entries listing him as a contact. All but three of the 156 documents are emails, and none is a legal, government or travel record.

Key Highlights

•Giuffrida sent Epstein the periodic "Financial Trust MTMs" emails, which carried valuation reports for the Financial Trust and Haze Trust accounts. Examples run from September 2011 through 2012.
•He is copied on most of Paul Barrett's trade recommendations to Epstein from 2011 to 2013. These covered currencies (Singapore dollar, Swiss franc, rupee), bonds (Ford, NRG, ING preferreds, mortgage bonds), oil options and Apple exposure.
•Giuffrida wrote to Epstein directly about a Facebook position (May 2012), equity purchase details and a Jawbone investment (June 2012). Barrett's email of 1 June 2012 asked Epstein when he could be on a conference call about Jawbone.
•He is copied on Amanda Ens's October 2011 requests to JPMorgan staff to move cash to margin for the "Financial Trust", so he was involved in margin and cash management as well as reporting.
•He appears most often with Paul Barrett (about 146 shared documents under the name "Barrett" and 79 under "Paul Barrett") and with Epstein (137). Amanda Ens is the other regular colleague (40).
•Epstein's address-book exports list a David J. Giuffrida work contact. One entry was created in February 2012 and another in November 2017.
