Redditor Claims to Identify 'Mystery Man' in Epstein Video — Who Is Karamoko Idrissa?

A video from the Jeffrey Epstein files releases is drawing attention after a Reddit user claimed to have identified an unredacted man shown aboard Epstein's private jet.

The user alleges that the individual is Karamoko Idrissa, an Ivorian businessman with ties to nightlife in Paris and a leadership role in the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly.

These claims remain speculation as they have not been confirmed by US officials or named in official court filings, but it has raised new questions of Epstein-related media files that continue to be reviewed.

The Controversial Video Was Shot on Lolita Express

The video in question appears in a Department of Justice archive labeled EFTA01683410, part of the Epstein file releases made public by the DOJ. Although stored as a PDF, online users noted that the file plays as a short video clip when converted to MP4 format.

The clip reportedly shows an unidentified adult male seated aboard Epstein's aircraft which is popularly referred to as the 'Lolita Express,' alongside a young female whose face is redacted in the official file.

The files doesn't reveal any names of the people present in the video, also DOJ has not issued a description or summary identifying the individuals shown.

How Did the Redditor Identified the Man?

In a 6 February post on the subreddit r/epsteinfiles, one user posted and said that they used facial recognition comparisons to match the man in the video with images found on the official website of the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly, where a figure named Karamoko Idrissa is listed as a co-chair of the Council for the Development of Ethno-Tourism.

The Redditor emphasized that Idrissa's name does not appear anywhere in the Epstein files themselves and asked other users if they had additional information about him or the organization.

Earlier Attempt of Identifying the Man

In another attempt to identify the mystery man, controversial social media influencers, Krassenstein brothers identified the man as a deceased South African diplomat, who once died under mysterious circumstances.

However, the claim was disrupted by some user who cited visible physical differences and pointed instead to Idrissa, referencing publicly available photographs and social media images.

Furthermore, a Facebook photo showing Idrissa at a red-carpet event alongside Paris Hilton, was also highlighted by the reddit user. Epstein files include emails referencing Hilton during the same general period.

However, no document directly links Idrissa to those emails.

Who Is Karamoko Idrissa?

Based on publicly available records and reporting predating the Epstein files, Karamoko Idrissa, also referred to as Idriss Karamoko, is an Ivorian-born businessman active in France.

According to Africa Intelligence and Le Parisien, Idrissa managed nightclubs in Paris' Pigalle district in the early 2000s and later held a contract to manage the Alyzée Club in Paris. He has been described by French press as a regular figure in social and political circles tied to the Ivorian diaspora.

Meanwhile, business registry listings associate him with hospitality and real estate ventures, and the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly website lists him in a senior advisory role related to ethno-tourism.

None of these sources reference Epstein. Furthermore, the claim that the man in the video is Karamoko Idrissa remains unverified.
