Freshly released US Department of Justice documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein investigations contain repeated references to Macau and several well known figures from the global casino industry.
Good to Know
Long before his death, Jeffrey Epstein moved in circles that included finance, politics and global business leaders. Newly disclosed records now show that Macau casino figures appeared in parts of that network, according to reporting from TDM Canal Macau.
The US Department of Justice released thousands of pages connected to investigations into Epstein, covering allegations of sexual crimes, trafficking and financial influence. Within those files, Macau surfaces almost 200 times, often in references to casino investments, travel to the region, and communications involving prominent gaming executives.
Among the names appearing in the documents are Stanley Ho, Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn. References to Stanley Ho appear in FBI material and private email exchanges spanning more than a decade.
Stanley Ho, co founder of STDM and a central figure behind SJM operations, died on 26 May 2020 at age 98. The files include a 2020 FBI report tied to an alleged sexual assault and trafficking complaint that mentions the name Stanley Ho. The documents do not confirm whether the reference points to the late Macau gaming executive. The individual cited in that complaint remains unnamed.
Earlier email exchanges from 2011 show Epstein and associates referring to Stanley Ho as the “richest man in Hong Kong” with deep influence over Macau casino operations. One message includes Epstein asking about a woman named Angela, suggesting a possible link to Ho. Angela Leong, a former partner of Stanley Ho and executive at SJM, appears contextually connected, though the records provide no follow up clarification.
Family members of Ho also appear in parts of the communications, including mentions of dinners and trips to Macau. Many passages remain partially redacted, limiting broader interpretation.
Other references connect Macau to recruitment discussions. Emails between Epstein and Jean Luc Brunel, a modeling agent later convicted of sexual offenses, cite Macau as a potential destination linked to casino environments.
The files also intersect with US political circles. A January 1, 2019 exchange shows Epstein speaking with political strategist Steve Bannon about Wynn Resorts founder Steve Wynn. During that conversation, Bannon discussed tensions involving Miles Kwok, a Chinese businessman living in the United States, whom Epstein described as “your boy.”
In 2017, reports indicated Wynn attempted to influence officials in the Trump Administration regarding Kwok potential return to China over corruption allegations.
Although the documents mention various individuals, inclusion in investigative material does not establish criminal conduct. Epstein maintained relationships with numerous high profile figures across industries, and many references appear within broader social or business contexts rather than formal accusations.
