I don't think Fidel even knew who he was other than "another American/Western Businessman". During that time Cuba was getting visits from many Latin American and some American famous people. Even the gusano newspapers say that Fidel probably just accepted him there because he thought Epstein was just another famous American person with ties to Latin American leaders who wanted to visit Cuba.
I couldn't find any news in Spanish or Portuguese about it, but I guess if there's a photo, it must have happened. It wouldn't surprise me if rich Americans were secretly taking short vacations in Cuba using fake passports. Pastrana is a POS and very dishonest, but he confirmed that they were going to the Bahamas first and then decided to visit Cuba because Fidel invited them both, but I imagine Pastrana was the one who actually interacted and talked to Fidel.
