In early 2010, Jeffrey Epstein initiated an aggressive sales campaign to sell a Sikorsky S-76C++ helicopter to the Argentine government, then led by President Cristina Kirchner. Recent documents declassified by the U.S. Department of Justice revealed that Epstein, who was later accused of running an international child trafficking ring before his death in 2019, was keen to capitalize on an official bidding process to secure the sale of the aircraft. The paperwork for the deal indicated that Epstein referred to the helicopter simply as '750' in his private communications.

The endeavor was shepherded by his lawyers and broker, who aimed to showcase the helicopter at an upcoming official exhibition scheduled for January 2010. However, the process faced bureaucratic delays that tempered the initial enthusiasm of the sale. As the Argentine authorities pushed for a quicker resolution, Epstein's team was under pressure to expedite the operation.

After several months of stagnation, the dynamics of the deal shifted, reflecting the complex interplay of international business interests and local government dealings. The implications of Epstein's attempt to engage with a national government raise questions about ethical propriety and governance in Argentine political history, especially considering the subsequent revelations about his criminal activities.
