‘Syracuse University’ appears 65 times in the Epstein Files, CitrusTV investigated why
In January, the Department of Justice released over 3 million pages of documents related to the investigation of late New York Financier and known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The additional documents add on to a database of files, accessible through a special DOJ website.
When searching for ‘Syracuse University’ within the DOJ’s Epstein Library, 65 documents are provided, labeled only by ‘EFTA’ followed by an 8 digit serial number. These documents range from email exchanges, texts, and even bank transactions. They tell the story of Jeffrey Epstein’s connection to Syracuse University and why he paid more than $100,000 across four years for one student’s tuition.
According to DOJ documents, Jeffrey Epstein signed at least four checks to Syracuse University’s Bursar Operations between 2009 and 2012. Two of these checks include a memo that identifies the student as Taylor Visoski, the daughter of Epstein’s longtime pilot Larry Visoski.
Additionally, another document labeled ‘EFTA01875446’ shows an email interaction between Larry Visoski and Epstein requesting an additional $13,834 payment for Taylor’s tuition.
Taylor Visoski was enrolled at SU from 2009 to 2013 as a Public Relations major in Newhouse. As the daughter of one of Epstein’s primary pilots, Taylor’s connection to the millionaire extended beyond tuition.
After she was rejected from an internship with the 2012 Olympics, a document labeled ‘EFTA00708125’ shows another email exchange between Larry and Epstein requesting there is, “any person or friend of a friend that [Epstein] may know at NBC or affiliate that may look into the possibility of opening this door for [Taylor]?”
In December 2012, Taylor asked her dad if Jeffrey Epstein could advise her on future career decisions. One of which was when to apply to Harvard Business school, asking “if you think there is a different approach with [Epstein’s] assistance?”. Taylor’s only direct email to Epstein was in January of 2013, thanking him for critiquing an essay meant for her application. Epstein had donated over $9 million to Harvard at the time of the email.
The millionaire also loaned a New York City apartment for Taylor’s use while at SU in February 2013 for a job interview with the Discovery Channel, where she interned previously.
Eric Roth, one of Epstein’s consultants, also had a daughter who considered SU. A document labeled, ‘EFTA01197292’ shows an email interaction between Roth and Epstein asking whether Newhouse or the University of Michigan would help more job opportunities.
No documents published by the DOJ indicate that Taylor or the Roth Family had knowledge of Epstein’s sexual offenses at the time. In November 2021, Larry Visoski testified that he never saw any sexual acts with underage girls.
Syracuse University confirmed to CitrusTV that Taylor was a student, but were unable to comment further.
Taylor Visoski and Eric Roth did not immediately respond to comment
