Argus News - 'Not Meryl Streep', ‘Tall Swedish Blonde’ Texts Surface as Anil Ambani Named in Epstein Document Dump

Mumbai, Feb 8: Indian businessman Anil Ambani was named in the latest tranche of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, released by the US Department of Justice on January 30.

The newly released files, part of approximately three million documents made public, include text exchanges between Ambani and a phone number associated with Epstein between 2017 and 2019.

Discussion on Women
According to the documents, the two discussed global affairs, business matters and personal topics. In a March 9, 2017, exchange about US-India politics, Ambani wrote, “K. Who do u suggest.” Epstein replied, “A tall swedish blonde woman, to make it fun to visit.” Ambani responded, “Arrange that.”

In subsequent messages, the two discussed preferences in women. Epstein wrote, “is there an actress or model that represents your proclivity.? i hope not meryl streep. I will be of no help.” Ambani replied, “Better taste myfriend. Our nxt movie is wth scarlett johansson.”


Scarlett Johansson starred in “Ghost in the Shell” in 2017, which was co-produced by Reliance Entertainment.

The documents also show discussions about meeting in Paris in 2017 and references to reactions to then-US President Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2018.

After a scheduled meeting in May 2019, Epstein messaged Ambani, “Today was a treat, nice seeing you.” The documents show assistants confirmed a meeting between the two men at Epstein’s residence in Manhattan.

“Our source from the ground informed that investigators are examining the context of the communications, but no formal charges or allegations have been announced in connection with these exchanges.”

A representative for Ambani declined to comment.

The latest release sheds additional light on Epstein’s business and social connections after he pleaded guilty in Florida in 2008 to charges related to procurement of minors for prostitution. Epstein was arrested on federal sex-trafficking charges in 2019 and died by apparent suicide while in custody.

The files also reference emails previously obtained by Bloomberg News showing Epstein ordered books about the Ambani family in March 2017, including “Ambani & Sons” and “Storms in the Sea Wind: Ambani vs Ambani.”

Who Is Anil Ambani?
Anil Ambani, 66, is chairman of the Reliance Group, which operates in infrastructure and power sectors.

His brother Mukesh Ambani, 68, heads Reliance Industries Ltd., with interests in oil refining, petrochemicals, telecommunications, retail and media. Mukesh Ambani’s net worth stands at $98.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

In India, Anil Ambani is facing investigations by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate in connection with an alleged bank loan fraud case involving approximately 400 billion rupees ($4.4 billion).

The documents further show Epstein contacted several prominent figures regarding the Ambani family. In one February 2017 email, Epstein asked Deepak Chopra whether he knew Anil Ambani. Chopra described him as “V rich, V much wanting to be noticed, V celebrity conscious,” according to the records.
