2018 Email from Jeffrey #Epstein to Steve #Bannon:
> “Later today we can discuss Michael and his coins”
Trying to figure out who this could be. some possibilities:
1. Michael Saylor is a huge figure in crypto with his $65 billion “borrow money to buy bitcoin” play at #MicroStrategy / #MSTR but he didn’t start that play until 2020.
2. Michael Sonnenshein? We know Larry Summers was tight with Epstein and he was on the board of DCG around this time. DCG owned grayscale, which manages GBTC (the first bitcoin ETF, launched ca. 2015). There was a particular kind of BTC / GBTC carry trade that was incredibly popular with traders around this time.
3. [edit] Michael Barr? Architect of Dodd-Frank, associated with #Ripple Labs and #XRP at that time.
4. Some smaller player involved with Bannon & Epshteyn's #FJB #memecoin?
Other ideas?
