As reported by Premium Times, the document forms a part of a large tranche of material released by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Epstein’s case regained global attention after the U.S. Department of Justice released millions of documents.
He reportedly killed himself in prison in 2019 while awaiting a federal trial.
Stern told Epstein in the email correspondence about an opportunity to broker or flip Nigeria’s crude oil and make a significant profit.
He referenced a person, “PA,” who suggested he meet with individuals with both access to buy and resell the oil to China, with an estimated profit of $6 million.
“PA has asked me to see a guy who has access to Nigerian oil, and when selling it to China (or somebody else), F. can make around $6m.”
However, Epstein expressed some doubt about the deal.
“This seems very fishy (as my boss JEE would say).
The email exchange between Epstein and Stern is one of the many interactions in which Nigeria was mentioned.
Some of the exchanges revolved around business, investment opportunities, and visits to Nigeria.
