One tip from April 2023 shows Tish asking Epstein if an unnamed woman was “a relative or a civilian.” Epstein said his team contacted the woman. He later added that she wanted to go to the theater with Tisch but was “terrified by the age difference.”
Another exchange in June 2013 suggested a possible meeting between Tisch and Epstein in New York.

The Tisch family owns approximately 45% of the Giants. He took over the team in 2005 after his father purchased a majority stake in the team in 1991.
On August 10, 2019, Epstein was found dead in his cell at a Manhattan federal prison. It was later ruled a suicide. He faces up to 45 years in prison for crimes related to sex trafficking of minors.
Tisch issued a statement On Friday, as the emails came to light, the Giants also received them.
“We had a brief relationship, exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments. I did not accept any of his invitations and have never been to his island. We all know now that he is a horrible person and I deeply regret being associated with him,” Tisch said.
