SHOCKING new legal filings have linked disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein to a murky “secret” investment deal involving former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, sparking allegations of a high-stakes boardroom betrayal.
Explosive Department of Justice (DOJ) documents reveal a series of frantic exchanges centered on keeping Epstein’s $1.5 million injection into Barak’s tech firm, Carbyne Ltd., hidden from the company’s own top brass.
The filings suggest that Barak and Epstein maneuvered to ensure that business partners Amir Elichai and Pinhas Buchris remained in the dark about where the cash was coming from.
Carbyne Ltd., previously known as Reporty Homeland Security, specializes in emergency communications technology—a sensitive field that would have been rocked by an association with a convicted sex offender.
According to the documents:
The Investment: Epstein funneled $1.5 million into the firm through a complex web of financial vehicles.
The Cover-Up: Internal communications show a deliberate effort to mask Epstein’s identity as the source of the capital.
The Motive: Insiders suggest the secrecy was vital to maintain the firm’s credibility while securing much-needed funding.
The Barak-Epstein Connection
Ehud Barak, who served as Israel’s Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001, has long faced scrutiny over his ties to the late billionaire.
While Barak has previously admitted to visiting Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, he has consistently maintained that he “never participated in any parties or meetings with girls or minors.”
However, these latest DOJ files paint a picture of a deeper, more calculated financial relationship.
The suggestion that a world leader may have helped a notorious predator “scam” his business partners by concealing financial ties is set to send shockwaves through both Tel Aviv and the tech world.
Silence from the Boardroom
As of this morning, representatives for Carbyne Ltd. have remained tight-lipped.
Both Amir Elichai and Pinhas Buchris—the partners allegedly kept in the dark—have yet to comment on whether they feel “scammed” by the revelation of Epstein’s blood money.
For Epstein, who took his own life in a New York jail cell in 2019, the $1.5 million investment appears to be just one small piece of a global web of influence that continues to unravel years after his death.
