Ann Rodriquez** appears in 5,753 seized documents — more than almost anyone in the Epstein archive except Epstein himself. She was his operations chief, the person who kept his private islands running.

The documents span 2012 to 2019. They show Rodriquez coordinating property inspections, scheduling Epstein's meetings, ordering supplies from China, and managing travel through American Express's elite Centurion service. She signed emails as "Ann Rodriquez, LSJ, LLC" — LSJ standing for Little St. James, Epstein's primary private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The Island Inspection, December 2013
In December 2013, a government inspection of Little St. James was scheduled through the Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources. Ann Rodriquez coordinated every detail.
A December 6, 2013 email chain (Document EFTA01946130) shows Rodriquez arranging for inspectors Jean-Pierre Oriol and two DPNR officials to be ferried to the island by boat from the AYH-C Dock. "The boat will be ready and waiting at AYH-C Dock at 8:30am Tuesday morning Dec 10th," she wrote to Cecile de Jongh, Epstein's Virgin Islands liaison. "How many persons will be accompanying Mr. Oriol on his visit to LSJ?"
She copied Daphne Wallace, another Epstein operations manager who appears alongside her in dozens of documents.
'Bossman' and the Boat Visits
The documents reveal Rodriquez's informal but central position in Epstein's world. A July 4, 2014 email (Document EFTA02102940) shows her relaying Epstein's instructions for a boat inspection at Naiad Inflatables of Newport — forwarding his reply directly after asking him for dates.
She referred to Epstein internally as "Bossman." "Bossman said the 28th of July," she wrote to a colleague, passing along his schedule for a test drive of boats under consideration.
The same document shows her operating as a direct conduit between Epstein and his staff — receiving his orders by email and distributing them across his organization.
Construction at Great St. James, 2016
By February 2016, Rodriquez was coordinating work on Great St. James — a second island Epstein purchased near Little St. James. A February 1, 2016 email chain (Document EFTA02704581) shows Epstein himself dictating a dense list of construction tasks: paint depot runs, flag pole installation, phone and internet setup, septic review, fuel, generator work.
"Carlos is picking up the paint in the morning," Rodriquez replied to Epstein, Daphne Wallace, and a contractor named Danny Vicars. "Jermaine will make 12x17 prints tomorrow morning." She was translating Epstein's shorthand into actionable orders for his ground crew.
Supply Procurement from China, 2018–2019
Late in Epstein's operations — months before his 2019 arrest — Rodriquez was managing procurement for Epstein's properties directly from Chinese manufacturers.
A December 20, 2018 email (Document EFTA01011015) shows her ordering 2,000 solar garden lights from a manufacturer in Quanzhou, China, with shipping to "Port of Miami Florida, United States of America." She listed the buyer as "Ann Rodriquez, LSJE / 9E 71st Street, New York, New York" — using the LSJE entity associated with Epstein's East 71st Street Manhattan townhouse.
She CC'd Richard Kahn of HBRK Associates, Epstein's longtime financial fixer, and forwarded the order to Epstein for approval. Kahn then confirmed directly with Epstein: "Are you ok to order without sample?" Epstein replied: "yes."
The procurement chain — Rodriquez sourcing, Kahn approving, Epstein deciding — captures the operational structure across Epstein's network.
Travel Coordination Through AmEx Centurion
Rodriquez's travel logistics ran through American Express's elite Centurion service. August 2018 emails (Document EFTA00479642) show her arranging flights for herself and a colleague, Emery Poleon, through Natalia Molotkova, a Centurion Relationship Manager.
"I just want to make sure she gets to sit with her daughter on the flight," one message reads — Rodriquez personally managing the seating details for her travel companion.
A follow-up email four days later (Document EFTA00480557) shows an urgent ticket request: "ISSUE ticket for Ann for TOMORROW!" — Centurion scrambling to book a same-day flight.
The Scope of 5,753 Documents
No single document captures what 5,753 mentions do collectively: Ann Rodriquez was embedded in every layer of Epstein's operations. She scheduled his meetings, ran his islands, sourced his supplies, managed his travel, coordinated with his lawyers, his financial associates, and his contractors.
