The July 2013 introduction and the subsequent correspondence place Joshua Cooper Ramo in Jeffrey Epstein’s social, academic and business network. The relationship included more than appearances on a calendar. Ramo sought advice, accepted introductions and introduced Epstein to others. The records also contain invitations that he did not accept and plans whose completion is unknown.
The Justice Department’s historical review dates Epstein’s Florida guilty pleas to 30 June 2008. The documented Ramo relationship therefore began approximately five years after Epstein’s conviction for felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring minors for prostitution. That chronology matters, but it does not by itself establish what Ramo knew about particular offenses or allegations.
Professional background and the importance of dates
FedEx’s current board biography identifies Ramo as chairman and CEO of Sornay LLC and a former senior executive of Kissinger Associates, the private consulting firm established by Henry Kissinger. It lists his FedEx directorship and service on the Audit and Finance and Cyber and Technology Oversight committees. His position at a private consultancy should not be confused with a government appointment.
The University of Chicago’s profile identifies him as a 1992 graduate and describes his New Mexico upbringing, journalism and China-focused career. Time’s own 1998 editorial notice identifies him as a senior editor and editor of Time Digital. He subsequently worked with John L. Thornton’s advisory business and at Kissinger Associates.
Starbucks’s SEC-filed announcement records his election to its board on 3 May 2011. Its 2024 proxy states that his service ended on 23 March 2023 when he was not renominated. That departure preceded the Wall Street Journal’s April 2023 Epstein calendar story. The corporate record does not identify the Epstein reporting as its cause.
| Role or publication | What the source establishes | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Time | Editorial positions during the 1990s and early 2000s | Later corporate biographies differ on his final year |
| Kissinger Associates | Managing director, then vice chairman, then co-chief executive | FedEx’s 2015 proxy dates the co-CEO appointment to 1 July 2015 |
| Starbucks | Director from May 2011 to March 2023 | He should not be described as a current director |
| FedEx | Director since 2011; still listed in the current official biography | Corporate board membership does not establish a company role in his Epstein contacts |
| Sornay | Chairman and CEO in current corporate records | Primary biographies disagree on the precise start date |
| The Beijing Consensus | Foreign Policy Centre paper, 2004 | Published policy analysis, not proof of a Chinese government position |
| The Age of the Unthinkable | Little, Brown book, 2009 | Concerns complexity and global change |
| The Seventh Sense | Little, Brown book, 2016 | Concerns networks and power |
Starbucks’s 2022 proxy and the current FedEx biography differ on the Sornay transition and some earlier employment dates. Starbucks gives June 2020 for Sornay and January 2020 for the end of his Kissinger leadership roles; FedEx gives January 2021 for Sornay and 2020 for his Kissinger departure. These should remain attributed discrepancies rather than be silently combined into a supposedly exact chronology.
The July 2013 introduction and first meeting arrangements
Joi Ito’s 13 July 2013 message, preserved in Ramo’s reply the following day, proposed that the two men meet in Santa Fe or New York. Ramo welcomed the connection and said he expected to spend time in Santa Fe during August, otherwise dividing his time between Beijing and New York. This is the earliest direct introduction verified for this profile.
The 15 July scheduling exchange records Ramo agreeing to a proposed breakfast at Epstein’s New York home on Sunday 28 July. The exchange establishes an accepted appointment, not independently confirmed attendance.
The 4 December 2013 office message has the subject “Josh Ramo is here!” Unlike an advance calendar entry, this is a contemporaneous arrival notification to Epstein. Its sparse content does not identify the conversation’s purpose or everyone present.
Zorro Ranch and the New Mexico chronology
The 9 August 2013 scheduling chain concerns Ramo and a companion coming to Epstein’s ranch on Sunday. It also discusses the availability of Martin Nowak and Ed Boyden. Epstein’s final reply selected 2 p.m. The date of that Sunday was 11 August. Earlier alternatives inside the same chain should not be counted as additional visits.
The 12 August 2013 exchange supplies stronger evidence that a gathering actually occurred. Epstein said it had been enjoyable and invited Ramo back. Ramo replied, “Great time. Thanks so much for inviting us.” The thank-you does not itself name the venue. Read alongside the ranch arrangements, it supports an August 2013 visit, but the connection between the two records remains an inference rather than a visitor-register entry.
The August 2014 office message records a separate proposed lunch on Sunday 10 August and a request to confirm the time and address. It is another scheduling record, not a second independent attendance confirmation.
In his February 2026 account to Reuters, Ramo said he visited the ranch once, for a 2014 lunch on behalf of MIT and Harvard professors who attended. That recollection and the earlier dated correspondence should both be preserved. The reviewed records do not resolve the difference in chronology or establish a complete ranch-visit count.
EpsteinWiki’s New Mexico network profile places Ramo among the region’s documented scientific and business contacts. Association with that network should not be converted into a claim that every contact witnessed, knew of or participated in abuse.
Barak the Rothschild bank and other introductions
The August 2013 Nowak exchange shows the Harvard mathematical biologist asking Epstein for the contact details of the man who worked with Kissinger, with a possible China and United States research discussion in mind. Epstein forwarded the request to Ramo, who said he would follow up. The exchange establishes an introduction channel; it does not establish that the proposed research was undertaken.
Epstein’s September 2013 proposal suggested separate meetings with Ehud Barak and the Rothschilds. Ramo replied that he trusted Epstein’s judgment. A related message to Ariane de Rothschild and Olivier Colom promoted Ramo as Kissinger’s “right hand.” That description belongs to Epstein.
The 14 November 2013 message documents an introduction that progressed beyond planning. Ramo reported a good discussion with Ehud the previous evening and thanked Epstein for connecting them. The exchange establishes Ramo’s own account of a conversation following Epstein’s introduction. It does not identify a completed investment or state business conducted at that meeting.
The January 2014 schedule lists an appointment for Ramo and Ariane de Rothschild on 10 January. Colom’s earlier message identifies Ramo as a possible contact because Asia was a priority for the bank. These records explain the proposed professional value of the connection. A calendar entry alone does not establish that the meeting occurred or that Ramo became a bank adviser.
The 28 September 2013 introduction connects Ramo with David Stern. Epstein described Stern as Prince Andrew’s China contact and Ramo as a Kissinger Associates partner working on China. The email demonstrates what Epstein offered and how he presented the two men. It does not prove that Ramo met Prince Andrew or entered any agreement with Stern.
The September 2013 Landon Thomas exchange shows Epstein including Ramo among people he said would be at his house when inviting the New York Times financial correspondent to visit. Thomas’s response referred to work pressure. Neither the invitation nor the list proves a completed meeting between Thomas and every named person.
Ramo introduced Epstein to an academic and accepted a commercial connection
The 2 June 2014 introduction was sent on Ramo’s behalf to Princeton ecologist Simon Levin, with Epstein and Lesley Groff included. It presented Epstein as someone interested in complexity and networks and as a gathering point for researchers, including Nowak. The message encouraged a New York meeting. It is a direct act of introducing and recommending contact, nearly six years after the conviction.
The 15 October 2015 exchange records Epstein introducing Ramo and Italian businessman Ugo Brachetti Peretti. Epstein said Ramo was in touch with Chinese buyers interested in gas stations. Ramo thanked him and asked Peretti how best to connect.
The 28 October follow-up says Ramo had a good conversation with “Ugo” and would update Epstein when they met. Identification of that first name with Peretti is supported by the introduction thirteen days earlier. The records document a conversation following the introduction; they do not establish a sale, commission or investment.
Personal invitations and political and technical discussion
The March 2014 correspondence combines political discussion with a personal invitation. Ramo, writing from Tokyo, invited Epstein to his planned Santa Fe bachelor gathering on 9 and 10 May and floated the possibility of a lunch at Epstein’s house. The same chain contains Epstein asking about Vladimir Putin’s strategy and Ramo offering his view of Putin’s conversation with Barack Obama. It establishes an invitation and an exchange of opinion, not attendance at the celebration or a role in official diplomacy.
The 4 August 2014 group email has Joi Ito sharing a published article about al-Qaeda’s use of encryption with Epstein, Ramo and Vincenzo Iozzo. Receipt of a cybersecurity article is not proof that the recipients operated a surveillance system or collaborated on an intelligence project.
The July 2016 message has Ramo asking whether Epstein was using Signal. The October exchange proposes a call on the application while Ramo was in Italy. These messages show a proposed communication method. They reveal neither the content of any completed call nor a reason for selecting it.
The April 2017 exchange records Epstein asking whether Ramo had a role in the Xi and Trump discussions. Ramo replied that he was in Europe and asked how Epstein was. The question should not be misreported as confirmation that Ramo was acting in those talks.
Compensation advice in late 2014
The 23 November 2014 request explicitly asks Epstein for advice on Ramo’s bonus negotiation. The resulting chain contains Epstein’s suggested negotiating position and Ramo’s questions about a compensation percentage. This is personal professional advice, beyond general discussion at a social gathering.
The 4 December update records Ramo saying Epstein’s 25 percent line had helped. Ramo described the firm’s compensation pool, the revenue attributable to his own work and recommendations being submitted to Henry. These are Ramo’s representations to Epstein, not audited company accounts.
The 17 December exchange continues the discussion. Ramo described an unexpected 30 percent cut in compensation and concern about his negotiating position. Epstein suggested how to raise the issue and how to connect additional fees with compensation. The correspondence does not establish the final award.
| Figure in the correspondence | Meaning in the messages | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| 25 percent | Epstein’s suggested compensation share | Advice, not an agreed or verified payment |
| 18, 20, 4.5 and 5.25 | Shorthand figures used while discussing business and compensation | The cited chain does not specify currency or label these figures as millions |
| 80 percent | Ramo’s claimed share of firm revenue in his December update | An assertion in correspondence, not an independently audited measure |
| 30 percent | The compensation reduction Ramo said he faced | His account of the dispute, not a final settlement record |
The reviewed documents do not establish that Ramo paid Epstein for this assistance or that Epstein acquired an interest in Ramo’s earnings. Discussion of fees generated within Ramo’s business should not be transformed into evidence of fees paid to Epstein.
The employment lawyer referral
The 10 April 2015 exchange shows Ramo asking for the lawyer Epstein had recommended for his employment agreement. Epstein named Jay Lefkowitz of Kirkland & Ellis. On 22 April, Ramo said he was due to see Jay and asked about further strategic advice.
The 25 April reply reports that Lefkowitz’s advice had been so helpful that Ramo no longer needed the additional call with Epstein. That is evidence of follow-through on the referral. The correspondence does not disclose the advice itself or establish any involvement by Ramo in Epstein’s criminal defense.
The proposed Kissinger China business
The February 2016 exchange records Ramo wanting to discuss a proposal for his business’s future structure. On 26 July, he sent Epstein an attachment named KCN_Proposal.docx and asked for his assessment.
Epstein’s response addressed entity form, death or incapacity, negotiating percentages, current and former clients, existing contractual obligations and possible buyout terms. Ramo replied with questions about renewing client contracts, transferring clients and the profit split. These are specific commercial and organizational discussions. They do not themselves establish that the arrangement was adopted.
The separate undated proposal sheet is headed “Kissinger China NewCo Structure and Operation.” It envisages a new company containing Kissinger Associates’ China-focused operations, with Henry Kissinger as executive chairman and Joshua Ramo as chairman and CEO. It proposes initial ownership by Ramo and a declining share of profits for Kissinger over five years.
| Proposed term on the undated sheet | What it says |
|---|---|
| Leadership | Kissinger as executive chairman; Ramo as chairman and CEO |
| Initial ownership | Ramo to own 100 percent, with later sharing among partners contemplated |
| Kissinger’s profit allocation | 50 percent in year one, 40 percent in year two, 25 percent in year three, and 10 percent in years four and five |
| Existing clients | Existing contracts to remain with the old entity while the new entity services the business |
The sheet is a proposal, not an incorporation certificate, signed agreement or proof of beneficial ownership. Its subject overlaps the July correspondence, but the reviewed records do not conclusively establish that it is the exact attachment sent with that email. It names no ownership or profit entitlement for Epstein.
The 28 July update says Ramo had supplied the proposal and expected the other side’s lawyer to discuss it. Epstein’s 30 July advice was to retain a lawyer to handle persistent negotiations with Henry and his counsel. In June 2017, Ramo was still asking to discuss options for future structures. The June message does not name the company. These records demonstrate continuing consultation, while leaving the earlier proposal’s implementation unresolved.
The 2015 ranch remark and its actual context
The August 2015 planning chain contains Ramo’s reference to the “pink bottom ranch.” The phrase appears in a discussion about where to meet. Epstein referred to Ten Thousand Waves and a hamburger restaurant; Ramo also offered food at his own place. A later message that day proposed Shake Foundation and a walk.
The phrase should be quoted with its context and attributed to Ramo. The messages do not explain what he meant by it, identify a victim or establish that a proposed meeting took place. Its meaning cannot responsibly be supplied from speculation.
Asked about the exchange by Reuters, Ramo said he did not recall the comment or whether he met Epstein that day. That response belongs beside the correspondence rather than being omitted from its presentation.
Aircraft arrangements and the contact record
The 18 August 2015 aircraft exchange shows Epstein offering Ramo a ride from Albuquerque to New York. Ramo considered the timing, then said he would remain in New Mexico and asked whether another passenger could travel instead. Epstein agreed and referred to his 727. The record therefore should not be cited as proof that Ramo took that flight.
The next day’s office chain records the Albuquerque departure and Newark arrival arrangements, coordination between the offices, and Ramo saying he would drop the passenger off. Personal and identity details are omitted here. The exchange documents facilitation and planned transport for another person; it is not a passenger manifest proving that Ramo boarded.
The contact sheet names Joshua Cooper Ramo and Kissinger Associates and includes a note indicating an introduction through JE. The sheet does not establish who maintained the record. It should not automatically be called Epstein’s own address book, and it is distinct from the widely circulated paper “little black book.” Its presence among investigative productions is not a criminal finding against Ramo.
No flight-log entry naming Ramo as a passenger, or completed visit by him to Little Saint James, was verified in the sources examined for this profile. That is a limit of this review, not proof that neither ever occurred.
Continued contact through 2018
The January 2015 welfare exchange records Ramo asking how Epstein was doing. Epstein referred to bad press, and Ramo offered help if needed. The brief exchange demonstrates a supportive response. It does not specify which allegations Ramo had read or what, if any, assistance followed.
The April 2017 Starbucks message shows Epstein suggesting Ramo as a contact when a correspondent asked about Starbucks franchises in the Balkans and Central Asia. Epstein called him a “very close friend” and cited his board position. The friendship description is Epstein’s; the company position is independently documented. No franchise transaction or involvement by Starbucks in the Epstein relationship is established by the email.
The February 2018 note asks how Ramo’s year-end negotiations went. It shows Epstein continuing to follow the subject, but the document contains no answer.
The March 2018 invitation proposed lunch with Epstein and “Bannon.” Ramo answered, “Ah, probably not…” Epstein’s follow-up encouraged him to ask Joi about it. Neither message proves Ramo attended a Bannon lunch. The reply is important evidence against turning every invitation into a meeting.
The July and August 2018 exchange concerns Ramo being in Santa Fe and proposing lunch; Epstein’s reply welcomed the idea. The 2 December 2018 message is a later inquiry from Epstein asking whether Ramo was in New York. The document contains no Ramo reply. These records distinguish continued two-way communication from a later unilateral attempt at contact.
Public reporting and Ramo’s response
The Wall Street Journal’s 30 April 2023 investigation, by Khadeeja Safdar and David Benoit, drew attention to previously unreported relationships in Epstein’s scheduling records. Its calendar-based reporting and the now-released correspondence are different kinds of evidence. The documents discussed above provide direct support for particular invitations, replies and introductions.
Contemporary Dealbreaker coverage reproduced the Journal’s report that a spokeswoman for Henry Kissinger said he had not known Ramo was meeting Epstein. That was a statement about Kissinger’s awareness of Ramo’s meetings. It was not Ramo’s own explanation or a blanket denial of every possible Kissinger and Epstein connection.
Reuters’s February 2026 report, by Erica Stapleton and Andrew Hay, includes Ramo’s substantive response. He said he and Epstein had met business figures and scientists approximately fourteen times in New York between 2013 and 2016. He said he relied on the institutions involved to have appropriately vetted Epstein and stated, “I feel a deep sense of grief for the survivors of his crimes.” His meeting estimate is a recollection, not a count of all archived messages or proof that correspondence ended in 2016.
MIT’s own January 2020 findings provide important context for an explanation based on institutional vetting. MIT reported that senior administrators knew of Epstein’s conviction in 2013 and approved subsequent gifts under an informal arrangement, while his campus visits were driven by Ito or Seth Lloyd. The review characterized the decisions as serious errors of judgment. This institutional history does not establish what MIT told Ramo or what he personally knew.
No new response was solicited for this profile. The explanation and recollections above are attributed to the journalists who obtained them. Statements that Ramo has never publicly responded are inconsistent with the Reuters report.
What the evidence establishes and what it leaves unproved
| Category | Supported conclusion | Evidence limit |
|---|---|---|
| Direct relationship | Replies, introductions, advice and personal invitations document sustained contact after the 2008 conviction | Raw document totals are not a count of distinct interactions |
| Meetings | An arrival notice and retrospective thank-you messages go beyond advance scheduling | A complete meeting tally cannot be reconstructed from selected records |
| Zorro Ranch | A 2013 planning chain and subsequent thanks exist; Ramo later acknowledged a 2014 lunch | The chronology and total number of visits remain unresolved |
| Business advice | Ramo sought advice on compensation, an employment agreement and a China business proposal | No verified payment to Epstein or completed joint venture is established here |
| Commercial introductions | A Peretti introduction was followed by a reported conversation | No completed gas-station sale or commission is demonstrated |
| Academic introductions | Ramo introduced Epstein to Levin; Ito introduced Ramo and Epstein | Institutional affiliation does not establish institutional authorization for every encounter |
| Aircraft | Ramo arranged proposed travel for another passenger after saying he would stay behind | The chain does not place Ramo on the aircraft |
| Criminal or intelligence claims | The cited records document association and specific actions | They do not establish participation in sexual abuse, trafficking, espionage or an intelligence tasking relationship |
A publicly released email can establish that a message was sent without proving every assertion inside it. A document gathered in an investigation can be relevant evidence without constituting an allegation against everyone named. No charging document or judicial finding of Epstein-related wrongdoing by Ramo was identified in the materials reviewed here.

Public Yahoo material and reporting coverage
DDoSecrets’ release description identifies the public Yahoo material as a separately obtained email collection. Drop Site’s account of the publication process describes its work with Jmail to release reviewed material with protections for victims. This source history is distinct from the Justice Department’s EFTA productions and the House Oversight releases.
A reliable Ramo-specific result from the public Yahoo tranche was not established in this review. That is an unresolved coverage gap, not a finding that no such message exists. DOJ or House correspondence displayed by an email-style archive should not be relabeled as Yahoo material merely because it appears in the same interface.
R. Howard Stone’s archive project supplies useful document leads, while its analytical pages disclose automated authorship and acknowledge corrections. Its Ramo profile’s statement that no public response was located is incomplete in light of the Reuters report. Archive summaries and relationship labels were not treated as substitutes for the underlying correspondence.
EpsteinWiki’s Kissinger profile, ranch visitor guide and ranch events chronology offer related coverage. Each person’s documented actions and the status of each proposed event should remain separate.
The research combined selected released correspondence, corporate filings, institutional publications, contemporaneous news and later responses, alongside targeted checks of independent investigators’ work. It did not audit every archived document, social-media post, video or unreleased collection. Repeated chains, short-form names, OCR errors and shared calendar pages can inflate name counts or assign another person’s appointment to Ramo. No claim of an exhaustive search or definitive lifetime contact count is made.
Questions the public record still leaves open
- What additional attendance records or contemporaneous accounts would reconcile the August 2013 correspondence with Ramo’s recollection of one ranch lunch in 2014?
- Which proposed introductions produced continuing relationships or completed commercial transactions, and on what terms?
- What final agreements, if any, resulted from the compensation discussions and Kissinger China proposal, and did Epstein receive compensation for his advice?
- What institutional assurances, if any, did Ramo actually receive before relying on the institutions’ vetting of Epstein?
- Which planned meals and calls took place, and when did reciprocal contact finally end?
- What did Ramo mean by the 2015 ranch phrase, which he later said he did not remember?
