Epstein introduced Ruemmler to [[Ariane de Rothschild]], chief executive of the [[Edmond de Rothschild Group]], and the introduction led the bank to hire Latham & Watkins for U.S. regulatory matters. Latham said that "Epstein was never a client of Latham's."[^2] Goldman described her contacts with Epstein as "the same kinds of contacts and engagements she had with other contacts and clients" and said she "didn't see anything that would lead her to be concerned" at the townhouse. Ruemmler told the *Journal*: "I regret ever knowing Jeffrey Epstein."[^2]
On September 12, 2014 Epstein wrote to Ruemmler: "can you find out if cass can do sunday with bob kerrey", and she answered "Yes."[^4] On September 13, replying to her question "You are expecting Cass and me tomorrow for lunch, correct?", Epstein wrote: "yes with bob kerrey and petr thiel". The meal was moved to 11 am: Epstein wrote "would you like brunch, say 11am/ ok with me." after she wrote that Cass asked whether they could come earlier, and she answered: "That would work better."[^5] That night Epstein wrote to her: "sorry you missed it, peter will not make it tomorw we just finished". On the morning of September 14 he wrote: "why don't you come at 10 casss and kerrey arrive 11?" and then "or ifi you wnat to invite cass at 1030 so its just us three for a while , your call." She replied: "I'll ask him."[^6] On September 15 Epstein wrote to Stephen M. Kosslyn of the [[Minerva Project]] that [[Bob Kerrey]] "tried to describe minerva to cass sunstein, total fluff".[^7]
