Epstein eyed record label investment to access women, files suggest

DOJ-released emails show Jeffrey Epstein and an associate discussed a potential investment in EMI that an associate described as connected to 'P', a crude shorthand used for women; the proposed deal did not proceed and EMI was later taken over and sold.

Emails recently released by the US Department of Justice show that Jeffrey Epstein discussed a possible investment in the music company EMI. The messages include comments from an associate, David Stern, who described the music industry as connected to "P", a crude shorthand Epstein used for women. Epstein appears to have contacted then-UK minister Lord Mandelson and suggested Tommy Mottola for a leadership role. The proposed investment did not proceed. Key details: - DOJ-released emails show Epstein discussed investing in EMI and David Stern described the music industry as "related to P", a crude shorthand used for women. - The files record Epstein seeking contact with Lord Mandelson and proposing Tommy Mottola to be brought in to run the venture. - The investment did not go ahead; Citigroup took control of EMI and the company was later sold to Universal and a consortium in 2012. Summary: The DOJ files document discussions linking Epstein and associates to potential business moves in the music sector and include language suggesting an interest in access to women. The proposed EMI deal did not proceed and EMI was later sold; any further legal or procedural steps tied to these emails are undetermined at this time.
