Bob Goldsamt
Co-founder and former CEO of American Medicorp, one of the first for-profit hospital chains in the US. Received recurring wire transfers from Epstein (2010-2015) and was referred to as 'our friend Goldsamt' in a 2012 Ehnbom-to-Epstein email.
Also known as: Robert S. Goldsamt, Robert Goldsamt
Robert S. Goldsamt co-founded American Medicorp, Inc. in 1968 with his Wharton roommate Alan B. Miller. The company grew into one of the first major for-profit hospital chains in the United States, operating 39 hospitals across 13 states with approximately 13,000 employees and $450 million in revenue. The stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
Goldsamt was forced out by his own board in 1976, receiving a $5.5 million buyout and a five-year noncompete agreement. Two years later, Humana acquired American Medicorp for approximately $500 million. His co-founder Alan B. Miller went on to found Universal Health Services, now a Fortune 500 company. After American Medicorp, Goldsamt's career declined steadily.
He chaired Integrated Barter Inc. (1982), ran afoul of the SEC (1986), founded the failed chiropractic chain CliniCorp whose stock collapsed from $10 to $0.12 (1991-1995), and later ran Basic Care Networks, a company too small for SEC filings (2004+). EFTA financial records show at least 9 Fedwire debit transfers from Epstein's JPMorgan account to Goldsamt via Wells Fargo between 2010 and 2015, with at least $5,000 per visible entry in a recurring biennial pattern. A House Oversight email (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_028755) from Barbro Ehnbom to Epstein dated August 18, 2012 refers to 'our friend Goldsamt,' confirming a mutual relationship. The email mentions Jeff Kriendler (former Pan Am VP) spotting Goldsamt in Miami.
