The latest documents released by the United States government regarding convicted child sex offender and sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, dubbed the Epstein File, detailed some of his activities connected to Ghana.
The document, which appears to be a letter written to Jeffrey Epstein by a relation whose name was redacted on April 24, 2011, detailed how the latter was making millions of dollars in Ghana.
The person boasted about how he was going to make about $50 million from an electronic waste (e-waste) transaction he invested in.
The sender of the letter initially boasted that his investment in solid waste technologies in 10 different towns was making him a lot of money.
“Just heard from A—who is thrilled. He says you and S have had a conversation? I was going to call you today, but if OK with you, I am going to focus on my presentation tomorrow with Boris and Lowell (for Bill). I've done a big financial analysis of 17 solid waste technologies, and I want to ask Bill if I can do this as a business and reinvest profits (as grants) instead of making grants from the foundation.
“I know you don't like this stuff, but in 2010 I made $170M, and this year am on track to make a little more. I reinvested $16M into 10 cities (each) and used $1M to set up a little charitable institution in the UK that could handle the resources (foundation too hard). My favorite new technologies relate to fossil fuel recapture from plastics and harvesting NPK from municipal sanitation (can obviously only do this one in countries where the municipal sewerage actually works),” he wrote.
The letter concluded, “I'm just diving into the e-waste stuff (which all goes to Ghana and Nigeria), which is an amazing stockpile of copper, etc. I think I can probably pull in another $50M just from Ghana; Nigeria too hard. Plus, last time I went to visit one of the sites, I was on an airplane, seated next to a goat. No thanks.”
About the Epstein Files:
The Epstein Files are thousands of pages of documents related to two criminal investigations into sex trafficking by financier Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. These documents, which include travel logs, recordings, and emails, have been a topic of conversation since Epstein’s death in 2019. In November 2025, three emails obtained from the Epstein estate seemed to indicate that the President of the United States, Donald Trump, had knowledge of Epstein’s sex-trafficking practices, which he (Trump) has long denied.
On November 18, 2025, the US House of Representatives voted 427–1 to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which the Senate also passed and the president signed.
After the law was passed, the Department of Justice, on December 19, 2025, released hundreds of thousands of documents. Those files included some never-before-seen photographs of former US President Bill Clinton and other celebrities but were otherwise heavily redacted, drawing criticism from Democratic and some Republican lawmakers, as well as Epstein survivors.
A subsequent release of some 30,000 pages of documents included mentions of Trump flying on Epstein’s plane in the 1990s. On January 30, 2026, the Justice Department released some three million more documents, saying that would be the last significant disclosure.
