Summary
In this January 2013 email chain, Mohamed Waheed (then President of the Maldives) seeks Jeffrey Epstein's advice regarding a suspicious offer from an anonymous funds manager to deposit $4 billion into the Maldives Central Bank in exchange for promissory notes and upfront fees. Waheed expresses deep discomfort, noting the lack of credit rating and the involvement of a political rival. Epstein correctly identifies the scheme as 'advance-fee fraud' (likely copying a definition from the web) and advises Waheed to request a detailed memo to expose the proponents as fools. Waheed responds by calling Epstein his 'savior' and agreeing to follow the advice.
