US Department of Justice documents, examined by The Wall Street Journal, have revealed that Cami Clark, the wife of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, exchanged emails with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein between 2011 and 2012. During this period, Clark, who was seeking investment for her women-focused adult-content ventures, was introduced to Epstein by literary agent John Brockman. She pitched her "revolutionary porn company," described as aiming to create "classy smut," and even shared scripts for planned films. While Epstein expressed some initial interest, responding to her company's description with "Yes, a loud gong," he ultimately turned down the offer to invest, citing "Can’t do Sex TV."

Documents released by the US Department of Justice show that Cami Clark, the wife of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and convicted paedophile and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein exchanged emails. The emails show that Clark sought Epstein's interest in one of her women-focused adult-content ventures.
The exchange, which dates from 2011 to 2012, before Cami married Amodei, was drawn from documents in the DOJ and was examined by The Wall Street Journal.
Clark and co-founder Michelle Capocefalo started a “revolutionary porn company” aimed at making classy smut that was billed as “intellectually promiscuous,” TWSJ reported. Her site Edice reportedly featured content like "Lady Porn Day” and “Orgasm, Inc.”
The report states that Clark was introduced to Epstein by literary agent John Brockman, who told him that they were in ‘LA raising money for a porn movie aimed at the women’s market.
In a follow-up message, she introduced her business venture to remind Epstein, saying, “We have the free luxury porn company. Does that ring a bell?” he replied, “Yes, a loud gong.”
Epstein was a registered sex offender during that time. After a playful exchange, he turned down the offer, saying, “Can’t do Sex TV.”
Clarks had also been staying in touch with Epstein for two years and even invited him to a Manhattan housewarming party for her and her Edice co-founder Capocefalo.
In one exchange with Epstein, she sent him the material related to her porn company’s planned films. "Jeffrey! We thought you and the ladies might enjoy the script/treatment for our first 4 films, American Girl in Paris. A little nsfw... C," she wrote in an email.
She then switched to another business venture, which included a social dieting app and a website geared toward women that would combine data from fitness trackers with information on nutrition, menstrual cycles, mood, and location.
In 2011, she was in a relationship with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, which lasted three years. He also later invested in one of her later women’s health ventures.
In 2012, Clark reportedly contacted Epstein again, asking if he would invest in her business.
However, there are no records that show this ever happened.
In 2013, Clark reportedly became the CEO of ‘Female Algorithm Technologies. ' A LinkedIn message was sent to Epstein stating that he should congratulate Clark for becoming the CEO of the company.
In 2014, she began dating the Anthropic CEO, who at the time was still an academic and working as a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford.
He had a PhD in computational neuroscience from Princeton.
Clark then became part of his professional network. She introduced her close friend Mira Murati to OpenAI co-founder Greg Broackman,. Murati later became OpenAI’s chief technology officer.
In December 2020, Amodei and other employees at OpenAI left to start Anthropic.
While Clark does not work at Anthropic, she acts as its strategic advisor and is often front and centre at events like Davos.
