LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman said he met with Jeffrey Epstein for fundraising purposes.
Hoffman previously said his last meeting with Epstein was in 2015.
Now he says there were six more meetings, from 2016 to 2018.
Reid Hoffman says he had more meetings with Jeffrey Epstein than he originally thought.
The billionaire LinkedIn cofounder previously maintained that the last time he met with Epstein was in 2015, and that he only knew Epstein via fundraising efforts for the MIT Media Lab.
This week, as the latest tranche of Epstein-related documents from the Justice Department continues to make headlines, Hoffman revised his accounting.
“I was mistaken, as according to calendar entries I have become aware there were additional fundraising meetings in 2016 and 2018,” Hoffman wrote in a post on X on Tuesday night.
Hoffman listed six additional meetings, including various Skype calls and in-person meetings in Cambridge and Palo Alto. The most recent meeting Hoffman listed was a Skype call in March 2018.
I only knew Jeffrey Epstein because of a fundraising relationship with MIT, which I very much regret. In 2019 I told Axios the last meeting I had with him was in 2015 but I was mistaken, as according to calendar entries I have become aware there were additional fundraising…

“I have done multiple calendar searches, and if I find any other meetings, I will continue to share them,” Hoffman wrote. “The victims of Epstein’s abhorrent and vile actions deserve all the information they are seeking, and I continue to call on President Trump to deliver that for them.”
Hoffman said that those meetings had also been scheduled as part of his fundraising relationship with the MIT Media Lab.
Hoffman has also said he visited Epstein’s private island, Little Saint James, in the US Virgin Islands. In December, he told a podcast host that he stayed on the island for one night on a trip connected to fundraising activities.
“Note to self: Google before going,” Hoffman said on the podcast.
Hoffman’s appearance in the Epstein files has helped reignite the billionaire’s feud with Elon Musk.
