What Do We Know About Jeffrey Epstein's Brother, Mark Epstein?

Publish date: 2024-05-06

Throughout his life, Mark Epstein has been tied to various business ventures — some more controversial than others. According to the Daily Beast, Mark started a silkscreen printing business called Izmo back when he was studying art at Manhattan's Cooper Union. Though the business appeared to fall apart by 2004, he wasted no time forming a model agency, Saint Model and Talent, in December 2005. However, little is known about the business — including whether it even hired anyone.

Mark is also behind Ossa Properties, which The New York Times said rented 550 apartments across four co-op projects back in 1993. But Ossa Properties also has a majority stake in 301 East 66th Street, a building with ties to Jeffrey Epstein. In particular, Jeffrey's associate Jean-Luc Brunel, who worked for Jeffrey's Mc2 modeling agency, was accused of using the property for sex trafficking. Many of the sex offender's associates and assistants have also been linked to the building.

Mark has denied any links between his brother's business and the building, though in 2019, The Wall Street Journal pointed to documents saying Jeffrey's associate Anthony Barrett owned 301 East 66th Street. Speaking to the publication, Barrett's brother, Jonathan, also said that Ossa and J. Epstein & Co — where he formerly worked — were indeed related.
