Businessman Steven Hoffenberg, who became close friends with Jeffrey Epstein and
who pled guilty in one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S. history, has been
found dead at his Connecticut apartment, officials say. He was 77.
Police in Derby, Connecticut said officers responded to Hoffenberg’s apartment
at 8 p.m. on Tuesday for a requested welfare check. When they arrived, they
found a body “in a state where a visual identification could not be made.”

The body was taken to the office of the chief medical examiner, where an autopsy
was performed on Wednesday. The initial examination revealed no trauma but the
cause of death is still unknown pending further toxicology study, police said.
The body is believed to be Hoffenberg, though formal identification has not yet
taken place.
“A subsequent dental record comparison is underway to make a positive
identification and subsequent notifications to appropriate next of kin,” police
said in Thursday’s statement, which provided no further details.

There was no word on when Hoffenberg may have died, but his frequent use of
Twitter came to an abrupt end on July 26, when he retweeted President Joe Biden
and posted links to several news articles.
Epstein accuser Maria Farmer, who was friends with Hoffenberg, had been trying
to call him for well over a week when she called police last Saturday to request
a welfare check, but it was unsuccessful because the address she provided was
out of date. The body was found after a second request on Tuesday night.
Hoffenberg was the founder of New York debt collection agency Towers Financial
Corporation, which in 1993 was revealed to be one of the biggest Ponzi schemes
in U.S. history, bilking investors out of nearly half a billion dollars.
Hoffenberg met Jeffrey Epstein in the late 1980s and hired him to help at Towers
Financial Corporation. “He was my best friend for years. My closest friend for
years … He was my guy, my wingman,” Hoffenberg told CBS News in an interview in
2019.
Epstein, who was charged with sex trafficking of minors in July 2019, was found
hanged in his cell in New York a few weeks later. Epstein’s death was officially
ruled a suicide, though the incident has been the subject of numerous conspiracy
theories.
Interest in Epstein’s case was high because of his links to politicians,
businessmen, and celebrities, including former U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and
Bill Clinton, Britain’s Prince Andrew, and former New Mexico Governor Bill
Richardson.
Earlier this year, French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who was accused of sex
trafficking and founded a company with Epstein, was found dead in his cell in an
apparent suicide. He had previously been charged with raping a minor.
