Jes Staley and Lawrence Summers were appointed by Jeffrey Epstein as executors of his estate, according to newly released documents that point to deep ties between the influential men and the late sex offender.
The roles given to Staley, the former chief executive of Barclays, and Summers, the former US Treasury secretary, were revealed among thousands of new documents published on Tuesday by the US Department of Justice.
The DoJ releases show that Staley was initially named in January 2012 as Epstein’s “successor executor”, who would assume responsibility for executing the disgraced financier’s will in the event that the appointed executors could not fulfil their duties.
