Re: Jeffrey Epstein
Dear Marie:
a
rcsmokt:
)14$.4900
1 write in response to your letter dated August 15. 2008 regarding the civil restitution
portion of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the "Agreement"). Thank you for confirming
our position that the December modification proposal is not part of the Agreement. As expressed
by U.S. Attorney Acosta in his December 19.2007 letter, the unorthodox use of a civil restitution
'statute in a federal plea agreement, which resulted in state charges against Mr. Epstein. has
caused several miscommunications with respect to the implementation of the terms of that
Agreement. in order to avoid any further miscommunications and to ensure that the IS U.S.C.
§ 2255 aspects of the Agreement are carried out in a proper manner. it would he useful to come
to an agreement as to the implementation of the civil restitution portion of the Agreement. As
we have previously stated. Mr. Epstein Atli," intends to abide by the terms of the Agreement, and
we hope you appreciate that our efforts to resolve any misunderstandings between Mr. Epstein
and the government about the terms of the Agreement are intended only to ensure that it is
carried out IhIly and fairly.
In an elibrt to avoid having either party unintentionally breach the Agreement. we
suggest that steps be taken to clarify the meaning of paragraphs 7-10. It would he extremely
helpftd to both sides to have an independent third party consider the Agreement and offer the
final word on how certain ii IC
i s should be interpreted and satisfied. Because the government
has already enlisted Judge
to select the attorney representative under the Agreement, we
would be amenable to his serving in this role.
In order to come to an agreement on the exact procedure by which the identified
individuals will obtain restitution. I am providing you with our thoughts on three issues below.

Once we come to an agreement on the following and you provide a complete and final list of
identified individuals. it will be appropriate to notify them.
First. L am concerned by your suggestion that you might want to increase the number of
individuals on the government's list. I had expected the number to have become smaller,
because when we spoke prior to signing the agreement, you told me that the government already
had a list, and we were informed thereafter that the September 24. 2007 list had been narrowed.
Certainly. anyone who was not on the list prior to September 24. 2007 cannot permissibly he
added to the list.
Second. we will cooperate with the government to reach to an agreement as to substance
of the notification to be sent to the government's list of individuals. Based on the Agreement.
the information contained in the notification should he limited to (I) the language provided in the
Agreement dealing with civil restitution (paragraphs 7-10) and (2) the contact information of the
selected attorney representative. We object to the inclusion or additional information about the
investigation of Mr. Epstein, the terms of the Agreement other than paragraphs 7-10. and the
identity of other identified individuals.
Third, as you are aware. the Addendum requires that "the parties will jointly prepare a
short written submission to the independent third-party regarding the role of the attorney
representative and regarding Epstein's Agreement to pay such attorney representative his or her
customary hourly rate for representing such victims subject to the provisions of Paragraph C.
infra." We will certainly cooperate with the government to draft such a joint submission and
would be pleased to submit draft language to you for such &joint submission.
I look forward to working with you to resolve these matters. 1 believe we have a mutual
interest in moving past all or these issues so that the civil restitution aspects of the Agreement
can be fulfilled.
Sincerely.

RE: New proposed response to Jay
How about a slightly different version:
Thank you for your response. Our communications with Roy Black and later with you were solely to determine
what Mr. Epstein considered to be the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. We appreciate your answering
our question with finality. You have now made clear that Mr. Epstein did not accept the December
modification, and accordingly, we will now consider that modification to be a nullity.
Pursuant to our Agreement, I will prepare an Amended Notification that contains the name of additional
identified victims. In accordance with Paragraph 7B, please provide me with a proposed written submission to
the Special Master by Monday afternoon.
Finally, as you are aware, yhe United States has been ordered to produce the Non-Prosecution Agreement. In
accordance with that Order, we will produce the September Agreement with the October Addendum signed by
your client. We understand that Mr. Goldberg may not have provided the state court with a true copy of the
complete Agreement, and he should take steps to correct that error.
(USAFLS)
Dear Jay:
Thank you for your response. Our communications with Roy Black and later with you were solely to determine
what Mr. Epstein considered to be the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. You have now made clear that
Mr. Epstein did not accept the December modification and does not intend to perform the obligations set'forth
therein. The Office is not going to continue negotiating the terms of the Agreement. We only sought finality
and you have answered our question. Accordingly, the December proposed modification is hereby withdrawn.
The United States has been ordered to produce the Non-Prosecution Agreement and, in accordance with that
Order, will produce the September Agreement with the October Addendum signed by your client. Mr.
Goldberger should be advised that we understand he has not provided the state court with a true copy of the
complete Agreement, and he should take steps to correct that error. I will prepare an Amended Notification that
contains the name of additional identified victims and will provide that to you promptly.
In accordance with Paragraph 7B of the Agreement, please provide me with a proposed written submission to
the Special Master by Monday afternoon. We will expect a showing of good faith in the selection of the
EFTA00192833
attorney representative and all other terms of the Agreement and excessive delays, like those that have occurred
in the past, will be considered a breach of that duty of good faith.
