EFTA00690252 preserves an extended email conversation between Jeffrey Epstein and a correspondent whose identity is redacted in the primary record. A less redacted duplicate, EFTA02006327, displays a Yahoo email address containing the name Miranda Mako.

The thread begins on January 11, 2012 and continues through February 5, 2012. It combines explicit sexual discussion, requests for Epsteinโ€™s advice, career and social networking references, Skype coordination, a possible trip to Paris, an offer to send the correspondent a ticket to New York, and Epsteinโ€™s repeated instructions to locate women he considered interesting or fun.

On January 21, Epstein told the correspondent to โ€œfind fun girls.โ€ On January 31, he gave a more direct instruction:

โ€œyour job is to find interesting girlsโ€

A related copy, EFTA00687054, preserves the correspondentโ€™s response that she would notify Epstein if she found someone โ€œamazingโ€ who was a woman.

The record documents Epstein attempting to convert a sexualized mentoring relationship into a source of introductions to other women. It does not establish the ages of those women, whether any introductions occurred, or whether the instructions resulted in criminal recruitment or trafficking.


What Is This Record?

EFTA00690252 is a six page printed email chain released through the Department of Justice Epstein disclosures.

The thread contains messages exchanged over approximately twenty five days. Because each response quotes earlier messages, the document reconstructs much of the conversation in reverse chronological order.

The latest visible message in EFTA00690252 was sent to Epstein on February 5, 2012. The correspondent describes pain associated with a sexual act. The quoted thread then moves backward through Epsteinโ€™s instructions, sexual advice, travel offer, Skype scheduling, and earlier comments about the correspondentโ€™s appearance and confidence.

The conversation is written primarily in English, but the email headers use German terms:

German headerEnglish meaning
VonFrom
AnTo
GesendetSent
BetreffSubject

The German formatting is consistent with an email account or device configured for a German language interface. It does not establish the correspondentโ€™s citizenship or physical location for every message.

The thread repeatedly includes Epsteinโ€™s standard confidentiality notice. That automated language does not independently establish attorney and client privilege, confidentiality recognized by a court, or any legal restriction on government disclosure.


Source and Provenance

EFTA00690252 appears in DOJ Data Set 9 and covers six consecutive pages:

The governmental copy can be accessed through DOJ Data Set 9. The broader release is available through the Department of Justice Epstein disclosures portal.

Multiple duplicates preserve portions of the same conversation. These copies contain different starting messages, redactions, metadata, secondary evidence numbers, and amounts of quoted material.

What the Record Contains

Sexual Coaching

The correspondent repeatedly reports sexual experiences and asks Epstein for advice.

On January 15, she describes receiving considerable sexual attention in Vienna and asks Epstein for new โ€œtricks.โ€ Epstein responds by reminding her that he had predicted increased confidence would attract men.

On January 21, she reports continuing difficulty reaching orgasm and asks when Epstein will be in Paris.

On January 31, she asks Epstein for a phrase that would express sexual availability to men. Epstein responds with an explicitly sexual statement and immediately assigns her the task of finding women for him.

On February 5, the correspondent tells Epstein that a particular sexual act caused substantial pain. In EFTA00690258, Epstein answers:

โ€œit was done wrongโ€

The correspondent replies that the act might be possible but that she did not know how to do it properly. A later message in EFTA01841553 shows Epstein apparently asking to communicate through Skype.

These exchanges document Epstein acting as a source of sexual instruction and validation. They do not establish whether any advice was followed or whether the interactions were consensual, coercive, exploitative, or part of a broader arrangement.

Direction to Find Women

Epstein issues two visible instructions concerning other women.

On January 21, after the correspondent discusses a club and compares it with another venue, Epstein writes:

โ€œfind fun girlsโ€

On January 31, Epstein gives a more explicit assignment, telling the correspondent that her โ€œjobโ€ is to find interesting women.

The correspondentโ€™s reply is preserved in EFTA00687054. She says that if she finds someone remarkable who is a woman, she will inform him.

The exchange is direct evidence of Epstein requesting introductions to women. It does not establish the ages of the women, the criteria Epstein expected the correspondent to use, or whether she eventually introduced anyone.

Travel Arrangements

On January 21, the correspondent asks when Epstein will next be in Paris.

Epstein answers that he expects to be there on March 17. He then offers an alternative:

โ€œotherwise you should come to ny.. i will send ticketโ€

This is a direct offer to arrange or finance travel to New York.

The document does not contain a ticket, itinerary, reservation, travel agency message, payment record, or confirmation that the trip occurred.

Skype Coordination

On January 27, the correspondent asks when Epstein can use Skype. Epstein asks whether she is available immediately. She replies that she is at work and asks whether they can communicate that evening.

Epstein later proposes trying. A related copy in EFTA00928388 shows another brief response asking whether the correspondent is available at that moment.

Skype would have allowed the pair to communicate outside the visible email thread. The record does not establish whether a call occurred, whether video was used, or what was discussed.

Career and Social Influence

On January 31, the correspondent tells Epstein that events had been going well since she met him. She attributes a change in another manโ€™s attitude to Epsteinโ€™s โ€œteachings.โ€

She also reports that:

  • A man she identifies only through a reference to adult performer Sasha Grey suggested that she become involved with the Davos Young Global Shapers.
  • A new Casablanca office was opening.
  • She approached the responsible partner about helping establish that office.
  • Her internship in Paris would probably be extended.
  • She wanted Epstein to continue teaching her.

The Casablanca reference appears to concern Clifford Chance. The firmโ€™s official announcement confirms that its Casablanca office opened on February 7, 2012, shortly after the email.

The โ€œDavos young global shapersโ€ reference appears to concern the Global Shapers Community, an initiative founded by the World Economic Forum in 2011.

The email does not establish that Clifford Chance, the World Economic Forum, Global Shapers, or Sasha Grey knew about Epsteinโ€™s instructions or participated in any improper activity.


Key Evidence

Epstein Combined Mentorship With Sexual Direction

The correspondent describes Epstein as teaching her how to project confidence, interact with men, and improve her social or professional position.

Epstein responds by directing her attention toward sexual activity and finding women for him.

This combination is significant because the career advice, validation, sexual coaching, travel support, and requests for introductions appear within one continuing relationship.

The record supports describing Epsteinโ€™s role as a sexualized mentor or adviser. It does not establish the precise power imbalance, emotional dependency, or degree of coercion within that relationship.

Epstein Treated Finding Women as an Assigned Task

The phrase โ€œyour jobโ€ frames locating women as an expected responsibility rather than a casual suggestion.

That wording is evidence of recruitment direction. It is not proof of employment, payment, trafficking, or a completed recruitment.

The Correspondent Indicated Willingness to Participate

The response preserved in EFTA00687054 states that the correspondent would tell Epstein if she found an impressive woman.

This demonstrates at least verbal agreement to look for or identify someone. The record does not show that she actually found, contacted, persuaded, transported, or introduced anyone.

Epstein Offered to Purchase Travel

Epsteinโ€™s offer to send a ticket to New York is a concrete logistical proposal.

Travel support can be important when evaluating how Epstein maintained relationships and brought people into his physical environment. In this instance, however, no completed travel is documented.

The Thread Continued After Explicit Sexual Disclosures

The February 5 messages show that the communication did not end after Epsteinโ€™s recruitment direction. The correspondent continued seeking or receiving sexual advice.

The related records suggest Epstein attempted to move the conversation to Skype. This creates an evidentiary gap because any resulting call would not be preserved in the email chain.

A Duplicate Reveals the Correspondentโ€™s Email Identity

EFTA00690252 redacts the correspondentโ€™s identity. EFTA02006327 displays portions of a Yahoo address containing the name โ€œmiranda mako.โ€

This cross copy comparison supports identifying the correspondent as Miranda Mako. It also illustrates why redactions must be compared across duplicate DOJ releases before an identity is treated as resolved.


What It Proves

The record establishes that:

  1. Jeffrey Epstein exchanged emails with a correspondent between January 11 and February 5, 2012.
  2. A less redacted duplicate displays an email address containing the name Miranda Mako.
  3. The correspondence included explicit sexual discussion.
  4. The correspondent asked Epstein for advice concerning sexual activity.
  5. Epstein provided encouragement concerning confidence, appearance, and sexual attention.
  6. Epstein told the correspondent to find โ€œfun girls.โ€
  7. Epstein later told the correspondent that her โ€œjobโ€ was to find interesting women.
  8. The correspondent stated that she would notify Epstein if she found an impressive woman.
  9. Epstein offered to send a ticket for the correspondent to travel to New York.
  10. Epstein stated that he expected to be in Paris on March 17.
  11. The correspondents attempted to coordinate Skype communication.
  12. The correspondent described an internship in Paris and a possible role connected to a Casablanca office.
  13. The correspondent referenced the Davos Young Global Shapers.
  14. The correspondent credited Epsteinโ€™s teachings with changes in her confidence and treatment by others.
  15. The conversation continued after Epstein directed her to find women.
  16. Multiple copies preserve the exchange with differing redactions and metadata.

What It Does Not Prove

The record does not establish:

  1. The age of Miranda Mako at the time of the correspondence.
  2. The ages of the women Epstein wanted her to find.
  3. That โ€œgirlsโ€ referred to minors.
  4. That Mako introduced anyone to Epstein.
  5. That any woman was recruited, transported, exploited, or abused because of these messages.
  6. That Epstein paid Mako to locate women.
  7. That โ€œyour jobโ€ described formal employment.
  8. That the offered ticket was purchased.
  9. That Mako traveled to New York as a result of the offer.
  10. That Epstein met her in Paris on March 17.
  11. That a Skype call occurred.
  12. What would have been discussed during a Skype call.
  13. That the correspondentโ€™s sexual experiences involved Epstein.
  14. That the relationship was fully consensual.
  15. That the relationship was coercive.
  16. That the correspondent was acting as part of Epsteinโ€™s established trafficking operation.
  17. That Adrianna was recruited or introduced to Epstein.
  18. The identity of Adrianna.
  19. The identity of the โ€œSasha Grey guy.โ€
  20. Any involvement by Sasha Grey in the correspondence.
  21. Any involvement by Clifford Chance in Epsteinโ€™s conduct.
  22. Any involvement by the World Economic Forum or Global Shapers in Epsteinโ€™s conduct.
  23. That the Casablanca opportunity resulted from Epsteinโ€™s intervention.
  24. That the repeated confidentiality footer created legal privilege.
  25. That the full conversation is preserved.

The thread is evidence of direction and stated willingness. It is not evidence of a completed recruitment unless connected with additional communications, travel records, witness testimony, or financial documentation.

Related Evidence

EFTA00687054

EFTA00687054 contains the correspondentโ€™s response to Epsteinโ€™s January 31 instruction. It confirms that she indicated a willingness to tell him if she found a woman she considered impressive.

EFTA00690258

EFTA00690258 begins with the correspondentโ€™s February 5 response to Epsteinโ€™s sexual advice. It extends the target record by showing that she described herself as inexperienced with the act being discussed.

EFTA00928472

EFTA00928472 isolates the travel exchange. It provides a clear header identifying Epstein as the sender of the January 21 offer to purchase a New York ticket.

EFTA00928499

EFTA00928499 preserves the sequence in which the correspondent discusses clubs and Epstein responds with an instruction to find women.

EFTA01841553

EFTA01841553 contains a later Epstein message that appears to request Skype communication. This is relevant because the parties had already attempted to coordinate Skype on January 27.

EFTA02006327

EFTA02006327 is important for identification. Its less complete redaction exposes portions of an address containing โ€œmiranda mako.โ€

Later February 2012 Communications

A February 19, 2012 JMail thread identifies Miranda Mako and preserves additional correspondence with Epstein. Later records should be analyzed separately because they concern different people, encounters, and instructions.

Greg Olearโ€™s Substack investigation, โ€œHeir Apparent: Is Ian Osborne Jeffrey Epstein 2.0?โ€, examines later February 2012 messages in which Epstein allegedly directed Mirandaโ€™s interaction with Ian Osborne. That reporting provides important context, but its interpretations should be checked against the underlying EFTA records.

Survivor Safety and Privacy

This record contains explicit sexual language and references to women whose identities and ages are not established.

Researchers should not identify Adrianna without corroborating evidence. A first name appearing in an email is insufficient to connect the person to a public figure, employee, survivor, or alleged recruiter.

The phrase โ€œgirlsโ€ must be reported exactly and examined carefully because Epstein had a documented history of abusing minors. However, the word alone does not establish that the women discussed in this thread were underage.

The correspondence should not be used to label Miranda Mako a trafficker or criminal recruiter without evidence of a completed act, knowledge of Epsteinโ€™s criminal purpose, or participation in exploitation. The record documents Epsteinโ€™s request and the correspondentโ€™s stated willingness to identify women. It does not show an introduction occurring.

It is equally important not to dismiss the correspondentโ€™s possible vulnerability merely because she engaged in explicit conversation or appeared to seek Epsteinโ€™s approval. Sexual participation, explicit language, education, employment, or professional ambition does not eliminate the possibility of manipulation or exploitation.


Why This Matters

EFTA00690252 provides a direct view of how Epstein mixed sexual instruction, personal validation, career advice, travel support, and requests for access to other women.

The thread does not show a single isolated request. It documents a progression:

StageDocumented conduct
ValidationEpstein praises the correspondent and reinforces her confidence
Sexual coachingHe advises her about attracting men and sexual activity
AccessHe offers to arrange travel and attempts to communicate through Skype
DirectionHe instructs her to find women
AgreementShe says she will notify him if she finds someone
Continued influenceShe returns to Epstein for additional sexual advice

This progression is important because recruitment networks are not always documented through formal instructions, contracts, or payments. They may develop through social influence, mentorship, favors, travel, sexual normalization, and expectations of reciprocity.

At the same time, responsible analysis must stop where the evidence stops. This thread documents the direction to find women. It does not document a completed recruitment or prove that the correspondent understood that Epstein might exploit anyone she introduced.
