Which former president met Epstein? Leak sparks heated debate in Maldives

A leaked 2014 email in which Jeffrey Epstein referred to the presence of the 'former president of the Maldives' at a New York meeting has sparked debate and speculation among Maldivians on X about which former president was meant. Users noted that Maumoon Abdul Gayoom and Mohamed Nasheed were in the Maldives in April 2014, leaving Dr. Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik unaccounted for, though no evidence has emerged linking Maldivian leaders to Epstein's crimes.
