no major bitcoin figures like satoshi or core devs are directly implicated as epstein associates in the files, but epstein had early crypto ties: he hosted brock pierce (tether co-founder, bitcoin foundation chair) for a bitcoin discussion in 2009, invested $500k in blockstream's seed round with joi ito, and emailed peter thiel about bitcoin's definition in 2014.

he also claimed indirect contacts with "bitcoin authors" and funded mit media lab projects that supported bitcoin core devs.
