"His wife and daughter." - Epstein's email exchange with Nathan Myhrvold regarding Vladimir Putin
Epstein, Nathan Myhrvold, and the Putins (Oct 27, 2010)
I was digging through the files and came across a very brief but fascinating email exchange from October 27, 2010, between Jeffrey Epstein and Nathan Myhrvold (the former Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft).

It looks like Epstein was actively keeping tabs on the movements of high-level geopolitical figures, specifically Vladimir Putin.
Here is the exact exchange:
A few things that stand out here:
- The Network: We already knew Myhrvold was in Epstein's orbit (he's been linked to Epstein's circle before), but hosting the family of the Russian President on his private boat shows the extreme level of his global elite connections.
- Epstein's Information Gathering: Why was Epstein asking this? Was he trying to verify a rumor, gathering kompromat/intelligence, or just keeping track of who his associates were networking with?
- Yacht Tracking (OSINT Request): Does anyone here have access to historical marine tracking databases (like MarineTraffic archives or similar) to check the movements of Nathan Myhrvold's yacht in or before October 2010? How can we go about finding this out to verify exactly where and when this trip took place?
Has anyone else found any surrounding emails or documents from late October 2010 that might give more context to why Epstein was suddenly asking about Putin's whereabouts?
Would love to hear your thoughts or if anyone can help track the boat.
