# The Oracle Connection: What the Epstein Files Reveal About Silicon Valley's Richest Family
**The DOJ released 3 million Epstein documents. We indexed them. Here's what journalists missed about Larry Ellison, Deutsche Bank, and a shell company named after Ghislaine Maxwell.**
The Name Nobody's Talking About: Amanda J. Ellison
Buried in the DOJ's massive Epstein document dump is a name that should have set off alarm bells across every newsroom in America: **Amanda J. Ellison**.
She appears in over 1,000 documents. She was the corporate secretary of **GHISLAINE CORP** - a Florida shell company literally named after Ghislaine Maxwell. She worked out of Epstein's headquarters at 457 Madison Avenue in New York. She shipped packages between the NYC office and Epstein's Palm Beach estate.
And nobody - not a single major outlet - has written about her.
GHISLAINE CORP: The Shell Company Named After Maxwell
Let's start with what the documents show. According to JPMorgan records subpoenaed by SDNY (document EFTA01582883):
**GHISLAINE CORP**
- Filing Date: April 21, 1995
- Type: Amendment and Name Change (changed TO "Ghislaine Corp")
- Dissolved: October 23, 1998
**Officers:**
- Jeffrey E. Epstein - President/Director (358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach)
- Amanda J. Ellison - Secretary (457 Madison Avenue, New York)
Read that again. Epstein created a company and **named it after Ghislaine Maxwell**. Amanda J. Ellison was the corporate secretary who filed the paperwork.
The FedEx Trail
The documents get more specific. Multiple FedEx invoices from J. EPSTEIN & CO INC show Amanda J. Ellison:
- Shipping packages to herself at **213 Mediterranean Road, Palm Beach** (adjacent to Epstein's property)
- Working from the 457 Madison Avenue headquarters
- Listed alongside other Epstein inner circle members: Larry Visoski (pilot), Lesley Groff (executive assistant), Sarah Kellen (later named as potential co-conspirator)
She wasn't a casual acquaintance. She was embedded in the operation.
Now Here's Where It Gets Interesting: Deutsche Bank
In June 2013, Deutsche Bank employees exchanged internal emails searching their client database. Document EFTA01460390 shows what they found when they searched "Oracle":
- **Lawrence J. Ellison** - active Client under Russ Daulton
- **Jeffrey Epstein of Oracle Corp** - active Lead under Ed Lok
- **Safra Catz of Oracle Corp** - active Lead under Ed Lok
Let that sink in. **Jeffrey Epstein was presenting himself to Deutsche Bank as "Jeffrey Epstein of Oracle Corp."**
Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle and one of the richest men in the world, was a Deutsche Bank client. Epstein was apparently claiming some kind of Oracle affiliation to the same bank.
The Subpoenas
This isn't speculation. According to reporting from Quartz and other outlets, when prosecutors investigated Deutsche Bank's relationship with Epstein, they **subpoenaed high-net-worth individuals including Larry Ellison and Elon Musk** - clients who "may have been referred by Epstein."
Deutsche Bank managed Epstein's finances from 2013 to 2018. They paid $75 million to settle a federal lawsuit accusing them of enabling his sex trafficking operation. They paid another $150 million to New York regulators.
And Larry Ellison was subpoenaed as part of that investigation.
David Ellison's Wire Transfers
Larry Ellison's son, David Ellison, now runs Paramount after the Skydance merger. He's currently attempting a hostile takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.
Here's what the Epstein files show: **935 document hits** for "David Ellison" - mostly Deutsche Bank wire transfer reports from the same period.
The wire transfers include:
- December 2013: $26,275,000 - "INITIAL FUNDING" (Walnut Creek, CA)
- February 2014: $31,999.92 - Bank of America Private Banking
- June 2014: $60,993.21 - "BORROWING"
- October 2015: $39,999.90 - Bank of America Private Banking
- June 2017: $34,532,455.51 - "LOAN DEPT/M04 SERVICE TEAM"
- May 2018: $172,578.85 - JPMorgan Chase
These appear in Deutsche Bank's daily wire reports - the same reports that were subpoenaed in the Epstein investigation. David Ellison was a Deutsche Bank Private Banking client during the same period Epstein was using the bank.
The TikTok Connection
Here's where this story becomes urgently relevant to 2026.
Oracle is a lead investor in TikTok's new U.S. ownership structure. Larry Ellison is a close ally of President Trump.
In January 2026, CNBC confirmed that TikTok was blocking users from sending messages containing the word "Epstein." A TikTok spokesperson claimed it was a "glitch" and they were "investigating."
Oracle controls TikTok's U.S. data infrastructure. Larry Ellison was subpoenaed in the Epstein/Deutsche Bank probe. And suddenly "Epstein" becomes an unsendable word on the platform?
What We Know vs. What We're Asking
Let's be clear about what we can prove:
**CONFIRMED:**
- Amanda J. Ellison was Secretary of GHISLAINE CORP
- GHISLAINE CORP was a shell company named after Ghislaine Maxwell
- Amanda J. Ellison worked at Epstein's 457 Madison Ave headquarters
- Larry Ellison was a Deutsche Bank client
- Jeffrey Epstein was listed as "Jeffrey Epstein of Oracle Corp" in Deutsche Bank records
- Larry Ellison was subpoenaed in the Deutsche Bank/Epstein investigation
- David Ellison's wire transfers appear in the same Deutsche Bank reports
- Oracle now controls TikTok's U.S. infrastructure
**UNCONFIRMED:**
- Whether Amanda J. Ellison is related to Larry Ellison's family
- The nature of Epstein's claimed "Oracle Corp" affiliation
- Why TikTok blocked "Epstein" messages
The 457 Madison Avenue Inner Circle
For context, here's who else worked at Epstein's headquarters according to the documents:
| Name | Role | Document Hits |
|------|------|---------------|
| Amanda J. Ellison | Secretary (GHISLAINE CORP) | 1,000+ |
| Darren K. Indyke | In-house Attorney | 1,000+ |
| Lesley Groff | Executive Assistant | 548 |
| Larry Visoski | Chief Pilot | 493 |
| Sarah Kellen | "Assistant" (named co-conspirator) | 248 |
Sarah Kellen's cell phone was on Epstein's AT&T Wireless account. Lesley Groff coordinated with Deutsche Bank's private banking team. This was a tight operation.
Why Isn't Anyone Covering This?
The Epstein files have been public for weeks. The media has focused on:
- Prince Andrew (already known)
- Trump party photos (already known)
- Clinton flight logs (already known)
The Oracle/Deutsche Bank thread - which involves one of the richest families in America, the current owner of Paramount, a lead investor in TikTok, and a man who was literally subpoenaed in the Epstein probe - remains completely unexplored.
