Epstein's Million-Dollar Investment in Israeli Startup

Jeffrey Epsteins Hidden Investment: A Million Dollars in Israeli Startup Carbyne

In this episode, we delve into the secretive investment of Jeffrey Epstein, seven years after his guilty plea in Florida. Epstein put one million dollars into an Israeli startup called Carbyne, which develops tech for nine-one-one callers to share videos with dispatchers. The investment occurred in March 2015, following Epsteins legal troubles.

Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister and Epstein associate, facilitated the deal through emails. Another investor, Nicole Junkermann, contributed five hundred thousand dollars. Carbyne, founded by ex-Israeli military and intelligence personnel, secured contracts from Florida agencies like Miami-Dade Police, North Miami Beach Police, and the Florida Highway Patrol.

Miami-Dade signed a nearly two million dollar deal in September 2021, but its currently inactive. North Miami Beach has a six hundred thousand dollar contract through 2029, hailing it as a game changer for quick responses. The Florida Highway Patrol used it for a desk trooper program on Orlando highways, costing about nine hundred thousand dollars until October.

Police leaders praise the system for providing better information during emergencies. However, the investments remained concealed in company records, with Epstein listed through a holding company that remained confidential.

In 2021, U.S. security firm Axon bought Carbyne for six hundred twenty-five million dollars. Axon makes body cameras and Tasers, but their filings dont mention Epstein, and they havent commented. Barak left the board in 2020.
