Background
Casey Wasserman is an American sports and entertainment executive who serves as CEO of Wasserman Media Group, a major talent management and sports marketing firm. He is the grandson of Lew Wasserman, the legendary chairman of MCA/Universal Studios, one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood history. Casey Wasserman is also chairman of the LA28 Olympic Organizing Committee, which is responsible for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Wasserman is connected to elite circles in Hollywood, politics, and sports. Multiple documents place him among high-profile figures at fundraising events and social gatherings, including those involving Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg, George Clooney, and Steve Bing. He is repeatedly identified in documentary evidence as 'Lew Wasserman's grandson' in the context of his association with Jeffrey Epstein's social orbit.
Wasserman has publicly stated that he 'deeply regrets' his correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell, noting it occurred 'long before her horrific crimes came to light,' and has asserted he 'never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.'
Epstein Connection
Casey Wasserman's connection to the Epstein case is threefold. First, FBI interview records and press accounts document that he was a passenger on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet in September 2002 for a trip to Africa focused on AIDS and economic development, alongside Bill Clinton, Chris Tucker, Kevin Spacey, Ron Burkle, Rodney Slater, Ghislaine Maxwell, and others. Second, FedEx invoices billed to Epstein's account at 457 Madison Avenue show packages shipped to Casey Wasserman in Beverly Hills in October and December 2002, with at least one package signed for by 'MAXWELL.' Third, DOJ-released EFTA emails reveal a series of personal email exchanges between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell in early 2003, described in public reporting as 'highly flirtatious,' discussing travel plans, meetups in New York, real estate, and massages. Wasserman's primary documented connection was with Maxwell rather than Epstein directly, though flying on Epstein's aircraft and receiving packages from Epstein's FedEx account demonstrate at least indirect association with Epstein himself.
