Who is Larry Cohen in the Epstein files?

In the files he is a business contact on the Bill Gates side. He is tied to bgC3 LLC, which is linked to Gates and Boris Nikolic. He exchanged many short emails with Epstein, mostly arranging calls, and Epstein's schedules refer to him as 'Larry Cohen (Gates)'.

What did Larry Cohen and Epstein discuss?

The emails mostly set up call times and say little about the topics. Some context points to arrangements involving Boris Nikolic in 2013, including a loan and payments. A Seattle meeting in March 2014 and a November 2014 call involving Cohen, Epstein and 'Rob' also appear. Some messages carry Epstein's confidentiality footer, and the files do not record what was said on the calls.

Does the archive show Larry Cohen doing anything improper?

No. The documents show him as a business manager or adviser handling scheduling, notices and communications. Appearing in Epstein's correspondence is not evidence of wrongdoing, and the files contain no flight-log, court or investigative records involving him.

How strong is his connection to Epstein?

It is moderate and mainly professional. He is a recurring direct correspondent over several years, with 319 emails carrying him in the header. But the content is largely logistical, and his connection to Epstein runs through Gates-related business.

Watch: Larry Cohen in the Epstein files

1:15

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

Larry Cohen appears in the files as a Gates-side business contact who corresponded directly with Jeffrey Epstein from at least 2013 through 2017. He scheduled calls and Skype sessions with Epstein, some of them tied to Bill Gates, and worked with Epstein and Boris Nikolic on 2013 arrangements for Nikolic.

The archive has 628 documents mentioning Larry Cohen. About 319 are emails with him in the From, To or Cc header, mostly short exchanges with Epstein's [email protected] address about setting up calls. Epstein's assistant's schedules list calls and Skype sessions with 'Larry Cohen (Gates)'. Other documents tie him to bgC3 LLC, the Kirkland, Washington entity linked to Gates and Boris Nikolic. They include investment-type agreements naming him as the notice contact and a letter describing 'coordinating with Larry Cohen to provide business management and communication services for the Company.' Most of his appearances are routine scheduling. The files do not show what was said on the calls, and they contain no flight-log or legal-proceeding evidence involving him.

Key Highlights

•He wrote to Epstein directly many times between 2013 and 2014 to set up phone and Skype calls, for example 'Heading back now. Can talk Monday at 11:30' (July 2014) and '2:30 work?' (August 2014).
•Epstein's staff calendars list 'Skype with Larry Cohen (Gates)' (February 2014) and a 'Skype Call w/Bill Gates (JE organized with Larry Cohen)'. This shows Cohen as a go-between for scheduling with Gates.
•In August 2013 he was on emails with Boris Nikolic and Epstein about arrangements for Nikolic ('Loan will work. Working through s…'). In the same period Bill Gates wrote to Nikolic, with Cohen copied, that 'Jeffrey was quite helpful and he put in a lot of time.'
•Investment and financial documents name him as the contact for notices to Gates. One agreement is to be delivered to 'bgC3 LLC, 4000 Carillon Point, Kirkland, WA … CONFIDENTIAL – Larry Cohen.' Another letter describes coordinating with him on business management for a company.
•In March 2014 a Seattle-based adviser, Richard Henriques, copied Cohen on a note about Epstein's request to meet during a Seattle visit on March 20.
•A November 2014 calendar entry, 'Jeffrey/Rob/Larry prep', is organized by Cohen. A Cohen email that month says 'Wire will be released any day and they know it's coming.' The files shown give no further detail on the subject.
•Contact continued into 2017. In August 2017 Epstein emailed Cohen, who replied 'In LA. Avail to talk tmrw AM?', and Cohen was copied on a bgC3 Israel trip report sent to Bill Gates.
•The archive lists Michael Cohen as a co-occurring name in all 628 documents. That looks like a name-matching artifact, and the documents shown do not support a connection to Michael Cohen.
