Lawrence Visoski

Lawrence Paul Visoski Jr. served as Jeffrey Epstein's chief pilot from July 1991 until 2019 — a 28-year tenure spanning the entire period of known trafficking activity. Hired alongside co-pilot David Rodgers in Columbus, Ohio, Visoski flew Epstein's fleet (Hawker Siddeley, Gulfstream G2B/G4/G550, Boeing 727, and helicopters) between all residences including Palm Beach, New York, Little St. James, Zorro Ranch, and Paris. Also served as designated manager of Hyperion Air LLC and Plan D LLC (Epstein aviation shell companies in the USVI), received a $1M trust bequest and loan forgiveness in Epstein's 2014 trust (EFTA01266380), and was used as a straw owner for vehicles and a boat in fraudulent asset transfers (EFTA00222389). Epstein paid his children's college tuition — $22,310 to Syracuse University for Taylor Visoski (EFTA01582719). Critically, around 2010-2011 Epstein explicitly ordered Visoski and Rodgers to stop recording passenger names on flight manifests (EFTA00159712). Visoski gave FBI-attended proffers to SDNY on October 7 and November 12, 2020 (EFTA00159712, EFTA00081477), and testified as the government's first witness at Ghislaine Maxwell's federal criminal trial in November 2021 (EFTA02839504).
