HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022322 (Oct 21, 2013): Morris to Epstein: "Vinit is working with me on some large clients now, good resource, I will introduce you to him and few other sr. folks before year end either in NYC or in europe."
WHY THIS MATTERS: This is the earliest documented Morris→Sahni→Epstein introduction, predating the EFTA-sourced Paris introduction (Feb 2014). Morris was actively expanding Epstein's network within DB, personally vouching for Sahni as a "good resource." The introduction was planned months before the Paris meeting — Morris was systematically building Epstein's coverage team.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022260 (March 14, 2014): Sahni emailed Epstein directly about oil options trading. Sahni provided his personal mobile number (+447703720599). Epstein responded with frustration about execution speed: "thanks 4 hours for a quote in a normally fast moving market? confirms my voiced concerns."
WHY THIS MATTERS: This is a direct bilateral email between Sahni and Epstein — not routed through Morris or Smith. Sahni gave his personal mobile to a convicted sex offender for trading access. Epstein's complaint about execution speed shows he treated Sahni as his trading contact, exactly the relationship pattern expected of CTM-1.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022346: Nay Gupta appears as a CC recipient on Epstein trading emails, not as author. Combined with the EFTA evidence (Sahni authored Infosys trading emails; Gupta only CC'd), this consistently shows Sahni as the primary contact and Gupta as a secondary team member.
Sahni forwarded "Weekend Snippets" — internal-only Deutsche Bank market analysis — to Epstein via Morris. This documents institutional-grade research service being provided to a convicted sex offender, reinforcing Sahni's active role in servicing the relationship.
