Ruemmler met Epstein when he reached out after she left the Obama administration on behalf of the Rothschild bank, asking if she’d be willing to represent them in an ongoing Department of Justice investigation into money laundering and tax evasion. Ruemmler accepted and helped negotiate a non-prosecution agreement.

Ehud
In early 2013, while Ehud Barak was entering the final months of his term as Israel’s Minister of Defense, he was being privately courted by international private banks in Davos, Switzerland, who sought to use his political connections to attract ultra-wealthy individuals as new clients. In March 2013, soon after he resigned from the defense ministry, Barak received a “rainmaker” agreement from Boris Collardi, then-CEO of Julius Baer Group, a Swiss private bank based in Zurich.

Barak, however, was not a big fan of de Rothschild. He sent Epstein an article on Edmond de Rothschild’s $300 million investment fund for Africa, in which Ariane explained that the bank hoped to invest in a booming consumer economy, not endless war for resources. “Africa will be the equivalent of China. What is of interest to me is that it is not led any more by mines and energy, but that banks and insurance companies are developing,” she said. Barak was horrified, captioning the article: “Globalization of cultural and media consumption.”
Epstein was similarly chagrined. “I am aware,” he lamented. “She is lost.” It’s no mystery why Epstein and Barak disagreed with de Rothschild’s take on Africa; the two men were simultaneously engaged in mining and energy investments in several African countries, selling Israeli security technology to embattled presidents in Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, and beyond. Creating a booming consumer economy in Africa was not on their agenda.
In his emails to Barak, Epstein indicated he viewed Ariane de Rothschild as a misguided byproduct of nepotism. He compared Benjamin de Rothschild’s decision to appoint her as chairman of the bank, to Barak putting his son-in-law (a classical cellist) in charge of the Israeli military: “[She] has many interfamily battles as well as biz. it would have been like you making Yoed [Nir], the defense minister because he was family.”
Whatever misgivings Epstein had about de Rothschild, they didn’t impede his desire to leverage her resources for grander ambitions. Epstein was a super-connector of the world’s elite, and began building a relationship between the former prime minister and the private banking heiress. He invited Barak and de Rothschild to dinner at his New York mansion on September 23, 2013.

Epstein reassured Barak that he was in good company with former U.S. military leaders with lucrative careers peddling intelligence-linked cybersecurity products: former NSA and CIA director Michael Hayden and US cyber commander Keith Alexander. He wrote, “ok, consider you michael hayden, and keith alexander. would be easy to [raise] serious money, you wouldn’[t] have to do the dog and pony show.”
