Rich Bamett was Jeffrey Epstein's house engineer who managed the Manhattan townhouse at 9 East 71st Street, handling maintenance, logistics, and day-to-day operations from at least 2011-2014.
Bamett appears throughout the documents as a key staff member coordinating schedules, managing household logistics, receiving deliveries, and handling property maintenance at Epstein's Manhattan residence. He's consistently CC'd on scheduling emails alongside other core staff like Lesley Groff (executive assistant) and the Fontanilla family (household staff). Documents show him being contacted to hang files for lawyer Darren Indyke, receiving a 9'x9' painting for shipment to Epstein's ranch, and managing daily operations when other staff were absent. Public records confirm Richard Barnett was listed in Epstein's black book with 6 phone numbers and 2 addresses, and he filed a legal affidavit in 2008 that court documents later described as 'patently false,' suggesting Epstein used staff members to obstruct legal proceedings.
