Cami Clark, wife and strategic adviser to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, reportedly sought investment from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for a business she described.
As a venture producing adult entertainment for women, according to The Wall Street Journal and emails contained in the Epstein files.
Clark was introduced to Epstein in March 2011 by literary agent John Brockman, who suggested that they meet for dinner. Emails show Clark subsequently shared details about the venture, including its funding requirements and material related to its planned film projects.
In one email, Clark sent Epstein the script and treatment for four proposed films, describing the material as potentially “NSFW”. About a year later, she again contacted Epstein to ask whether he would be interested in investing in businesses she was developing with a colleague. There is no indication in the emails that Epstein provided funding. In a separate exchange, Epstein reportedly responded that he could not invest in a television project involving sexual content.
Clark also invited Epstein to a housewarming party in July 2012, although the available emails do not indicate that the two met again in person.
