# Epstein Files: Reid Hoffman's Bitcoin Calls
**The DOJ released 3 million Epstein documents. We indexed them. Here's what we found about Reid Hoffman.**
The Document
**EFTA01738856** - An email from May 19, 2014:
What This Shows
Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn founder, Greylock Partners, PayPal Mafia - was coordinating **private phone calls with Jeffrey Epstein to discuss Bitcoin** in May 2014.
This wasn't a chance meeting at a conference. This was:
- Assistant-to-assistant scheduling
- Follow-up on a previous request ("just following up")
- Specific topic: Bitcoin
- Private call (Skype or phone)
The Newsletter
One month earlier, **EFTA01925403** shows Hoffman sending Epstein his personal newsletter:
Epstein was on Reid Hoffman's **"friends and colleagues"** distribution list.
Timeline Context
| Date | Event |
|------|-------|
| 2008 | Epstein convicted of soliciting underage prostitution |
| 2011 | Reid Hoffman takes LinkedIn public |
| Apr 2014 | Hoffman sends Epstein personal newsletter |
| May 2014 | Hoffman's assistant scheduling Bitcoin calls with Epstein |
| 2019 | Epstein arrested, dies in custody |
| 2024 | Hoffman apologizes for Epstein association |
**The Bitcoin call request came SIX YEARS after Epstein's conviction.**
Bitcoin was trading around $450 in May 2014. Reid Hoffman was already investing in crypto companies like Xapo. The PayPal Mafia was heavily positioned in cryptocurrency.
What Hoffman Has Said
Reid Hoffman has publicly stated he "deeply regrets" meeting Epstein and that their interactions were limited to "conferences and fundraisers."

The Index
We indexed 74,000+ Epstein documents. Search them yourself:
**385 total hits** for "Reid Hoffman" - though many are for different people named Reid (defense attorney Reid Weingarten) or Hoffman (estate executor Paul Hoffman).
The LinkedIn founder documents are EFTA01738856 and EFTA01925403.
Why This Matters
Reid Hoffman is not a peripheral figure. He's:
- LinkedIn founder (sold to Microsoft for $26.2B)
- Greylock Partners (major VC)
- Board member: Microsoft, Airbnb, Aurora
- Major Democratic donor
- "Blitzscaling" author
- Silicon Valley kingmaker
The question isn't whether he met Epstein. The documents prove ongoing private coordination about cryptocurrency investments - after Epstein's conviction was public knowledge.
