An email chain from January 2013 between Mohamed Waheed (then President of the Maldives) and Jeffrey Epstein. Waheed seeks advice regarding a suspicious offer to deposit $4 billion into the Maldives Central Bank by an anonymous manager who demands upfront fees and meetings in Bangkok. Epstein correctly identifies this as 'advance-fee fraud,' provides a definition, and advises Waheed to request a detailed memo to expose the scam and embarrass the political opponents pushing for the deal. Waheed responds by thanking Epstein and calling him his 'savior.'
