Billionaire founder of Cerberus Capital Management and current Deputy Secretary of Defense. Named in at least 20 documents in the DOJ Epstein files, with Cerberus appearing in 360 files. Emails from 2009 and 2013 document Epstein's business relationship with Cerberus, and 2015 correspondence between Epstein and associate Andrew Farkas discusses funds received from Cerberus.
A July 2018 Deutsche Bank internal email flagged Cerberus as a ‘high risk’ account, noting that six Cerberus guarantors were never identified through the Know Your Customer (KYC) anti-money-laundering process. Feinberg stepped down as Cerberus CEO in 2025 to accept the DOD Deputy Secretary position. Named on the DOJ's February 2026 list of 305 politically exposed persons in the Epstein files.
