Convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, when discussing a potential EMI takeover, hung around on taking a code word 'P' and connections in the music industry. But the deal never materialised, as new DOJ emails revealed.
Epstein contacted David Stern, a London-based German businessman who used to run a start-up competition forAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Stern had a foot in the music world, and a finger on the Chinese market. The pair exchanged more than polite greetings, they traded ideas on how to pull through a high-stakes EMI deal.
Peter Mandelson then First Secretary of State and Business Secretary, was the senior name in the mix.
A short email from Epstein to Mandelson read, 'Please email me bens contact info.. or havehim cal me re emi. [sic].' Mandelson replied, 'Gave to [redacted]. Email is [redacted]. Talk re EMI ??.'
The shorthand 'ben' is a mystery on who that person is.
Epstein had a very peculiar shorthand for women - 'P.'
In the emails, Stern wrote: 'related to P,' a phrase that seemed inappropriate. Later, he sent a birthday note in which he wished Epstein 'lots of P.'
The use of the word carried even over into the world of business.
Stern spoke of a 'P factor' for places he visited, giving Ibiza 9/10 and Sarah Ferguson's birthday party 0.2/10.
The informal language creates an image of a 'man having romance with women and giving them money,' or for a certain 'bodypart' a woman has.
