Branson told Epstein 'bring your harem' and advised him on PR, new emails show
Branson proposed using Bill Gates' endorsement to counteract Epstein's 2008 conviction and invited him to meet, referencing Epstein's 'harem' in a 2013 email revealed by the DOJ.
- On January 30, 2026, the US Department of Justice released Epstein Files including a Sept. 11, 2013 email from billionaire Richard Branson telling convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to `bring your harem`.
- Branson advised PR steps by suggesting a Bill Gates endorsement could help Epstein after his 2008 conviction and downplayed a past incident involving a 17-year-old.
- Reporting and court records show Epstein first faced charges in 2006–2007, with a lenient deal negotiated by prosecutor Alex Acosta resulting in a 3-month jail term, despite allegations involving minors in Manhattan and Palm Beach.
- A Branson spokesperson said contact with Epstein was limited to a few group occasions more than twelve years ago, Virgin Unite declined a donation after due diligence, and Richard supports justice for victims.
- The released files also show emails referencing Bill Gates and circulated widely on social media, with observers saying they could renew scrutiny of the pre-2008 deal and harm reputations.
