Who is Richard D'Agostino in the Epstein files?

Richard D'Agostino was a financial professional who worked at Elysium Management LLC, the family office of billionaire Leon Black. He appears in 216 Epstein documents primarily in professional correspondence coordinating financial operations, tax matters, and business administration alongside Epstein's financial team including CFO Richard Joslin and administrators Eileen Alexanderson and Ada Clapp.

What was Richard D'Agostino's connection to Leon Black?

D'Agostino served as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer at Elysium Management LLC, Leon Black's family office founded in 1992. Black was one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent clients, paying Epstein at least $158 million for tax and estate planning services. D'Agostino's role coordinating financial matters placed him at the intersection of Black's and Epstein's business operations.

Did Richard D'Agostino have business dealings with Epstein beyond his Elysium role?

Yes. According to investigative reporting, D'Agostino visited Epstein's private island and facilitated business connections between Epstein and Venezuelan interests. He reportedly kept Epstein informed about Venezuelan political developments and suggested introducing him to Alejandro Betancourt López, resulting in Epstein investing at least $4.5 million in Venezuelan oil bonds beginning in 2012.

What is the significance of D'Agostino's Venezuela connections?

D'Agostino, who holds Venezuelan and Spanish citizenship, acted as a bridge between Epstein and controversial Venezuelan business interests. He suggested connecting Epstein with Alejandro Betancourt López, co-founder of Derwick Associates, a company accused of overcharging the Venezuelan government by $2.9 billion for power plant contracts. As of 2024, Spain's National Court reportedly opened an investigation into former Derwick executives, including D'Agostino, over alleged financial fraud, though he has not been charged or convicted.
