According to BBC News,

Emails recently released by the US Department of Justice suggest that Jeffrey Epstein considered investing in the music company EMI after his associate David Stern appeared to suggest it potentially offered access to women. Stern referred to women using derogatory language in communications with Epstein, indicating a troubling mindset.

Stern, a London-based businessman with connections to royalty, noted in a February 2010 email that the music industry was “related to P,” a term Epstein reportedly used to refer to women. Epstein expressed interest in the potential investment and inquired about needing assistance from Lord Mandelson, a prominent UK politician at the time.

The correspondence shows Epstein’s intent to involve former Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola in the potential deal. Epstein suggested that Mottola could help “fix” the company. However, the investment did not materialize, and Citigroup ultimately took control of EMI due to its financial troubles.

In 2011, discussions about acquiring EMI resurfaced, but again, no deal was finalized. Stern indicated that the company could be of interest to Chinese investors, remarking on its value as an asset for “P.” The DOJ files also detail Epstein’s interest in model agencies and fashion businesses, further highlighting his troubling connections to various industries.

The investigation into Epstein’s dealings continues to raise questions about his influence and the nature of his relationships within powerful circles.
