Amanda appears in the Epstein files primarily as Amanda Ens, a financial professional at Merrill Lynch/Bank of America who communicated with Jeffrey Epstein and Richard Kahn about investment strategies and market research between November 2016 and April 2017.
The mentions show Amanda primarily as the sender of financial advisory emails to Jeffrey Epstein and Richard Kahn, discussing investment opportunities in financials, commodities, healthcare stocks, and currency markets. She appears to have been providing institutional research and trade recommendations from Bank of America Merrill Lynch during late 2016 and early 2017. One unrelated mention appears in an FBI document showing casual messaging from 2005, which appears to be a different person named Amanda.
