Epstein Was Adviser Behind Funding of Starlink Rival OneWeb

Jeffrey Epstein was an adviser in the creation of OneWeb Ltd, a low-Earth orbit satellite network that is the world’s largest rival of Elon Musk’s Starlink, according to emails released by the US Department of Justice.

The disgraced financier acted as a confidante for OneWeb’s founder Greg Wyler as the entrepreneur raced to secure funds after launching the company in 2012, emails show. Wyler ultimately garnered investments from the likes of SoftBank Group Corp. and Qualcomm Inc.
