Who is Richard D'Agostino in the Epstein files?

He appears to have been a finance and accounting employee in the Black Family Office, the team managing Epstein's money and entities. The emails show him preparing cash reports and financial statements, handling tax and investment paperwork, and working closely with CFO Richard Joslin. He appears in 304 documents, nearly all of them emails, and is directly on the correspondence in 96.

Did Richard D'Agostino communicate directly with Jeffrey Epstein?

Yes. Some emails go from D'Agostino to Epstein's jeevacation@gmail.com address, including the April 2015 bank financial statements and the November 2015 "Gaming Submission." Many other messages reach Epstein through Joslin, who forwards or copies D'Agostino. Epstein also forwards D'Agostino's emails to others, such as Brad Wechsler and Melanie Spinella.

What kinds of work does he do in the documents?

The work is financial administration. It includes weekly cash balance lists, bank personal-financial-statement packages, K-1s and audited statements for investments such as Knowledge Universe and Apollo, entity charts, and aircraft ownership paperwork. He is also named in meeting schedules with the rest of the family-office team.

Do the documents show wrongdoing by Richard D'Agostino?

Not in the documents reviewed. They show routine financial and administrative work for Epstein's office. Appearing in these files, even on emails to Epstein, is not evidence of misconduct. The documents do not explain what the "Gaming Submission" was, so readers should not draw conclusions about it.

Watch: Richard D'Agostino in the Epstein files

1:08

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

Richard D'Agostino appears in the files as a finance and accounting staffer inside the Black Family Office, the group that handled Jeffrey Epstein's finances. He is on emails about cash reporting, bank financial statements, tax documents and investment holdings, usually working with CFO Richard Joslin.

D'Agostino is in the From/To/Cc header of 96 of the 304 emails that mention him. In those emails he sends weekly cash summaries, forwards personal financial statements to Epstein, and is copied on tax, entity and investment-administration threads. Epstein's assistant also lists him by name (as "Rich D'Agostino") in calendar entries and meeting invitations alongside Joslin, Eileen Alexanderson, Ada Clapp, Larry Delson, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn. Most of the 304 documents are emails (296), and only two are travel records. The files show him in an administrative and financial support role. They do not describe any role in Epstein's personal life or any conduct beyond that.

Key Highlights

•In an October 2015 email chain, D'Agostino sent a "Weekly cash summary" to Richard Joslin, Joe Avantario and Brad Wechsler. Joslin then forwarded it to Epstein with the note "No meaningful changes since 10/23."
•On April 10, 2015, D'Agostino emailed Epstein "BofA Personal Financial Statements," with attached statements dated 04-30-14 and a draft dated 12-31-14. Epstein forwarded the email to Brad Wechsler on April 28, 2015. Joslin separately told Epstein the bank was asking Melanie (Spinella) about the statements.
•On November 3, 2015, D'Agostino emailed Epstein a "Gaming Submission" with Joe Avantario copied. Epstein forwarded it to Melanie Spinella saying he needed to talk to her about it. D'Agostino later replied on the same subject. The excerpts do not show what the submission was.
•He worked on investment and tax paperwork, including the Knowledge Universe Education L.P. 2013 audited statements and Schedule K-1 (July 2014). A related October 2014 thread says an investment moved to BFP LP without Knowledge Universe being told. He also appears on Apollo-related K-1 and valuation emails (June 2014 "for JEE," September 2014) and the Phaidon re-organisation (September and December 2014).
•He was copied on emails about Apollo IV Management Inc. (March 2015) and about the ownership organizational documents for aircraft N624N (April 2015, with Ada Clapp and Joslin).
•Calendar entries from April and November 2014 list him in meetings and conference calls with the Epstein legal and financial team. The October 2014 entries name Joslin, Ada Clapp, Eileen Alexanderson, Larry Delson and Heather Gray.
•A February 25, 2015 message from Brad Wechsler to the "Black Family Office" announced that Alexanderson had left. D'Agostino was among the recipients.
•Several documents carry grand-jury and SDNY production stamps. Their presence in the files does not by itself show any wrongdoing by D'Agostino.
