Ivan S. Fisher: criminal defense lawyer, Epstein’s subtenant and co-defendant — 34 East 69th Street (1992–1998)

Ivan S. Fisher is a well-established New York criminal defense attorney. He illicitly occupied the building at 34 East 69th Street – former residence of the Iranian Deputy Consul General – via Jeffrey Epstein, a property managed by the Office of Foreign Missions (OFM) of the State Department following the USA-Iran diplomatic rupture in 1980. Epstein leased the building from the OFM in 1992, and subsequently subleased it to Fisher without government consent. Fisher, in turn, subleased offices to several fellow attorneys. The federal government (SDNY) filed suit in 1996; the summary judgment ruled in favor of the government in May 1998. Fisher appealed to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. The file resurfaced in 2007 – a Florida AUSA seeking Epstein's deposition for a criminal investigation – and was officially cited during the Ghislaine Maxwell trial in 2021-2022.
