Tisch family seeks to transfer Giants ownership stake to children's trusts New York Giants co-owners Steve, Laurie, and Jonathan Tisch have requested to transfer their remaining ownership interests in the team to trusts established for their children, according to an NFL memo obtained by ESPN. The proposed transfer, which would remove the Tisch family from direct ownership, requires approval from the league’s finance committee. If approved, the Tisch family would no longer hold any stake in the Giants, the memo states. The memo, dated March 11, notes that prior transfers to the trusts were approved in 2023 and 2024. It outlines that the Sellers—referring to the Tisch family—now seek to transfer their entire remaining ownership, totaling 23.1% of the team, to the trusts. The document specifies that following the transaction, the Sellers will no longer have any interest in the franchise. A Giants spokesperson declined to comment when asked about the ownership transfer on Wednesday, while an NFL representative also refused to provide further details. The Tisch family’s request comes amid ongoing scrutiny related to Steve Tisch’s past associations with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In January, newly released Justice Department documents revealed extensive email exchanges between Epstein and Tisch, which included repeated references to women and invitations for Tisch to attend Epstein’s events, such as a Giants game in the owner’s box. Most of the correspondence dates to around 2013. In a statement at the time, Tisch described his brief association with Epstein as involving discussions about adult women, movies, philanthropy, and investments. He emphasized that he did not accept Epstein’s invitations and expressed regret for associating with him, noting Epstein’s criminal history.#jeffrey_epstein #new_york_giants #tisch_family #mara_family #koch_family
