According to DOJ-released documents indexed by Epstein Exposed, Marc Leon appears in 647 case documents, and 1 email record in the Epstein files.
Marc Leon is a Marrakesh-based real estate agent who brokered Epstein's attempted purchase of Bin Ennakhil Palace, a large estate on the Route de Ouarzazate outside Marrakesh. In June 2019, days before Epstein's arrest on July 6, Epstein instructed his shell company Southern Trust to wire 11.15 million euros (approximately $12.7 million) from a Charles Schwab account to a Swiss bank account held by Leon. A second wire of $14.95 million was submitted on July 4, 2019, two days before the arrest, signed by Epstein himself. The total authorized amount was $27.7 million. Leon confirmed to Reuters that Epstein first sought to buy the palace as early as 2011.
The Swiss bank account used for the transaction represents an unexamined financial conduit. The timing of the transfers, concentrated in the final days before Epstein's arrest, raises questions about whether the purchase was a legitimate real estate transaction or an attempt to move assets offshore. Reuters and Al Jazeera reported on the wires in February 2026.
