French first name reference in Epstein documents, possibly Matthieu Ricard
In the files, "Matthieu" is Matthieu de Boisseson, a Paris-based lawyer who corresponded directly with Jeffrey Epstein, mainly in an April 2015 email thread titled "Confidential". He appears to have been a contact through Jean-Luc Brunel, and the documents do not tie him to the French-language public figure Matthieu Ricard.
The clearest appearances are 16 emails with de Boisseson in the From/To/Cc header. Most are from 6–13 April 2015, when he and Epstein arranged a phone call, a meeting and flights between Asia and New York. Other emails, mostly from Jean-Luc Brunel between 2010 and 2015, mention "Matthieu" as a mutual acquaintance who was consulted on ideas, asked to meet people, or involved in apartment and travel logistics. Nearly all of the 81 documents are emails, and none is a legal, financial or government record. Many of the mentions are short passing references inside Brunel's messages.
Key Highlights
- •In the April 2015 "Confidential" thread, de Boisseson and Epstein trade emails over several days. He asks for Epstein's phone number, Epstein says there is something he wants to discuss that day, and Epstein asks "meet at 3??". De Boisseson describes returning to Hong Kong and flying direct to New York, and Epstein suggests flying Bangkok to New York instead. The emails do not say what the confidential matter was.
- •The thread begins on 6 April 2015 with an email from de Boisseson that opens "Dear Jeffrey, Jean-Luc has sugge...", which points to Jean-Luc Brunel as the link between the two men. The text is cut off, so the full reason for contact is not shown.
- •A 30 March 2015 email to Epstein from an unnamed sender says Matthieu called back and could not meet "because of the situation with JL". The sender writes that he had no problem with the sender or Epstein but would prefer to meet when the matter was resolved. On 25 March 2015 the same sender says Matthieu would be in Paris on Monday and they would speak in person. The files do not spell out what "JL" refers to.
- •In an 8 April 2015 email, Epstein's accountant Richard Kahn forwards a message saying he will send a wire. The message is headed "isabelle / lvb travel / RIB LVB TRAVEL / payment for M DEBOISSESON", and de Boisseson is copied. That suggests Epstein's side paid for travel connected to him, though the email does not give the amount or the purpose.
- •In October 2012, Brunel forwards Epstein a translation of an email from Matthieu. In it, Matthieu says he does not have a good feeling about something, because some people "will do a google search", and he does not have the network needed. The files do not say what the plan was. In September 2013 Brunel writes that Matthieu "likes the idea" but adds "can he deliver? Not so sure".
- •Other Brunel emails give small personal and logistical details. In May 2013 Matthieu wanted to rent his Rio apartment for the World Cup. In June 2013 Brunel sends Matthieu's mobile number. A 2010 email says Matthieu advised suing someone for slander, and a 2011 email asks him to speak with a woman in Paris at Epstein's suggestion.
- •Some of de Boisseson's emails carry a footer saying the message comes from a law firm ("cabinet d'avocats"), and his signature gives a Paris address on avenue Victor Hugo. One short note from him invites Epstein to dinner and mentions a guest named Svetlana.
