Epstein Wants To Takeover $80B in Frozen Assets In Libya During 2011 Libyan Civil War

Meet Muammar Gaddafi, The Arab versions of Donald Trump, if you will. In the way that Muammar Gaddafi wanted to form a better country.

Muammar Gaddafi, who seized power in a 1969 military coup and ruled Libya autocratically for 42 years, was overthrown during the 2011 Arab Spring uprising when widespread protests against his repressive regime escalated into civil war.

Gaddafi advocated for a pan-African with a gold-backed “gold dinar” currency in the late 2000s, leveraging Libya’s roughly 143 tons of gold reserves to support oil trade and reduce reliance on the US dollar and French CFA franc in Africa—a plan referenced in leaked Clinton emails and said by some to have alarmed Western leaders like Sarkozy as a threat to financial dominance, though mainstream accounts attribute intervention primarily to humanitarian concerns over Gaddafi’s crackdown rather than this economic initiative as the sole driver.

Rebels backed by NATO airstrikes (authorized by UN Security Council Resolution 1973 to protect civilians) advanced on his forces; Gaddafi fled to Sirte, where on October 20, 2011, his convoy was struck by French warplanes and a US drone, leading to his capture alive from a drainage pipe. He was then severely beaten, sodomized with a bayonet, and killed by multiple gunshot wounds at the hands of NTC rebel fighters, with conflicting official accounts claiming death from crossfire or wounds en route to hospital, though videos and Human Rights Watch reports confirm he was abused while alive post-capture.

Greg Brown and Jeffrey Epstein Emails On Libya Civil War & Muammar Gaddafi

The provided text is an excerpt from a 2011 email exchange between Greg Brown and Jeffrey Epstein, dated July 15, 2011, during the Libyan Civil War, shortly before Muammar Gaddafi’s assassination by Hillary Clinton’s Drone Strike.

This has recently surfaced in newly released U.S. Department of Justice documents related to Epstein (often referred to as part of the “Epstein files”).

Key points from Greg Brown’s email to Epstein:

• Brown highlights an opportunity tied to Libya’s political/economic turmoil.
  
• He claims ~$80 billion in Libyan funds/assets are already frozen internationally, with $32.4 billion in the U.S.
  
• He estimates the total “sovereign, stolen, and misappropriated” assets could be 3–4 times higher (potentially $240–320 billion).
  
• By identifying/recovering 5–10% of these and earning 10–25% as compensation (via legal/finder’s fees), they could make billions.
  
• The bigger potential: Becoming the “go-to” advisors for Libya’s expected $100+ billion rebuilding efforts post-conflict, leveraging its wealth (9th-largest oil/gas reserves, small population comparable to NYC minus 2 million, ~80% literacy rate).
  
• Brown mentions contacting the law firm Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker (large firm) on a contingency basis; they are interested partly because Patton Boggs is already representing the Transitional National Council (TNC, the anti-Gaddafi rebels) similarly.
  
• To maximize their cut, he suggests paying lawyers hourly initially and targeting “low-hanging fruit” (easier assets).
  
• He claims to have “friends” (former MI6 and Mossad operatives) willing to help identify and recover “stolen” assets.

Epstein’s Email reply:

• Jeffrey Epstein acknowledges the Libyans (likely referring to the emerging post-Gaddafi authorities or TNC) are now “legit” but need real help.
  
• Epstein warns they must be careful, as many competing claims will emerge on the money.

This Epstein email appears to be a proposed scheme to profit from Libya’s frozen assets (sanctioned/frozen during Gaddafi’s era and amid the 2011 uprising/NATO intervention) by offering legal/intelligence-assisted recovery services, positioning themselves for reconstruction contracts.

The plan was opportunistic, contingency-based, and involved leveraging ex-intelligence contacts.

Recent media coverage (from sources like Al Jazeera, Middle East Monitor, Anadolu Agency, and Euronews) frames it as Epstein and associates eyeing billions in Libyan state wealth amid the chaos.
