Woody Allen's** name appears in **3,435 documents** inside the U.S. Department of Justice's Epstein financial archive — and the records go beyond a contact list. Seized device forensics show Allen in direct iMessage contact with Epstein's personal account across at least four years of documented correspondence.
The Epstein Financial Trust Archive (EFTA), drawn from over 1.3 million pages seized from Epstein's residences, trusts, and financial operations, contains forensic extractions from multiple devices. Volume 9 of the archive captures iMessage logs from seized devices NYC024362.aff4 and NYC024365.aff4 — hardware taken directly from Epstein's properties — with Allen's messages logged as sender.

Forensic imaging of Epstein's devices produced a continuous message log of 32,198 entries on one device and 54,988 on another. Allen's iMessages appear across both logs, spanning at least 2015 through 2018.
A December 27, 2015 message from Allen to jeeitunes@gmail.com — Epstein's personal account — reads:
"Thank you so much. We loved our time at the White House."
The message (Evidence ID: NYC024365.aff4, EFTA document vol00009-efta01214593-pdf) was sent the same day as additional iMessage exchanges in the same thread, suggesting ongoing social correspondence at the close of 2015.
A May 12, 2017 exchange recovered from the same device shows Allen extending a direct invitation to Epstein. The message reads:
"We're leaving January 1 for London for a January 2 concert and we can give you the itinerary of the places we are going and when we will be there in a day or two and you can join us anytime you want in any of those places."
The message (EFTA document vol00009-efta01209171-pdf) captures Allen coordinating travel plans with Epstein more than two years after Epstein's 2008 Florida conviction. The exchange is logged under Evidence ID NYC024365.aff4 — one of the devices seized during the federal investigation.
By mid-2018, the correspondence had shifted to scheduling. A July 10, 2018 iMessage from Allen (EFTA document vol00009-efta00781921-pdf, Evidence ID NYC024362.aff4) reads:
"Unfortunately we will not be able to make it on the 17th as we have a prior dinner party to go to so we can't get out of it or reschedule."
The message indicates a prior invitation from Epstein's side — Allen is declining a specific engagement. That same month, additional Allen messages in the same log discuss a media article, with Allen writing on September 17, 2018 (EFTA vol00009-efta00786633-pdf):
"That's exactly right. That was not the purpose of the article. I was much stronger in the article but everyone was so fearful and you are seeing the revised version."
The archive has already identified Lesley Groff across 62,331 documents, Bella Klein across 9,377, and Daphne Wallace across 6,715. Allen's 3,435 appearances represent a documented correspondence footprint — one that extends from White House references in 2015 to dinner invitations and media discussions in 2018.
Epstein was arrested by federal authorities in July 2019. The device logs captured in Volume 9 of the EFTA archive cover a period when his federal prosecution was already years in motion following his 2008 state conviction in Florida.
The archive continues to yield names and direct communications. As the DOJ's document release progresses through its later volumes, additional correspondence from the same period is expected to surface.
All individuals mentioned are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
