Before Masha Bucher began Day One Ventures, she was Jeffrey Epstein’s publicist and guide to Silicon Valley.
There are plenty of tech luminaries whose correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein has turned up in the files of the disgraced financier. But few of those exchanges are quite like those that Epstein had with Masha Bucher, who is now a well-known venture capitalist.
On June 25, 2019, 11 days before Epstein was arrested and charged with sex trafficking of minors, he asked Bucher—who was then acting as a publicist for Epstein—for nude photographs during a flirty exchange on Skype, according to the latest files in the Epstein case made public by the Department of Justice on Friday. “Nudes?” Epstein asked.
“Next time I’m in Paris!” Bucher responded.
