American lawyer and casino executive, former CEO of Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (1995-2000)
Nicholas Ribis, the former CEO of Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts, maintained a direct and sustained personal correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein from at least 2011 through 2019, with emails discussing Trump, political matters, and—most notably—an Epstein accuser's claims about working at Mar-a-Lago.
Ribis appears extensively in personal email exchanges with Epstein spanning at least 2011 to 2019, making him one of the more substantively connected figures in the files. The most significant email, from March 2011, shows Epstein writing to Ribis about 'the girl in the new papers' who claimed to have worked at Mar-a-Lago at age 15—an exchange in which Ghislaine Maxwell interjected with the warning 'I thought you said not to involve Donald.' Other emails show Ribis and Epstein exchanging news articles, discussing Trump's political orbit, and coordinating frequent phone calls. Epstein also referred Ribis to JPMorgan as a potential high-net-worth client in 2007, describing him as a principal linked to a multibillion-dollar investment operation. Property records for Ribis and his wife Carol also appear in the files, likely as part of broader asset and associate mapping by investigators.
Key Highlights
- •Epstein emailed Ribis in March 2011 about an accuser who claimed to have worked at Mar-a-Lago at age 15, prompting Ghislaine Maxwell to warn Epstein that he had said 'not to involve Donald'—one of the most discussed emails in the entire Epstein file release
- •Epstein referred Ribis to JPMorgan in January 2007 as a potential client 'in the 200M range,' with Ribis requesting the meeting happen without Epstein present
- •Emails from 2016 show Ribis telling Epstein he 'designed the DJT business comeback' and discussing Trump-related political matters, indicating Ribis served as a conduit between the Trump and Epstein orbits
- •The email exchanges from May 2017 show frequent, casual back-and-forth communication patterns ('ping me when awake,' 'call me in hour'), suggesting an established personal relationship rather than occasional contact
- •Ribis continued corresponding with Epstein as late as May 2019—just two months before Epstein's arrest—sharing news articles about Trump's inauguration controversies
