A 2011 email sent to Jeffrey Epstein, released by the US Department of Justice, details a plan to access Libya's frozen state assets following the NATO-backed uprising against Muammar Gaddafi. The email outlines potential financial and legal opportunities stemming from Libya's political and economic instability. It estimates that billions of dollars in Libyan funds were frozen internationally, with the sender proposing to recover a portion in exchange for a percentage-based compensation. The email also mentions that former members of British MI6 and Israeli Mossad were allegedly willing to assist in identifying and recovering "stolen assets." The plan also alluded to Libya's anticipated need for significant reconstruction spending.
