TROUTMAN SANDERS Memorandum To: Jeffrey Epstein Darren Indyke From: Steve Rinehart Bennet Moskowitz Date: May 26, 2010 Re: Potential Arbitrators We set below our thoughts on the proposed arbitrators from JAMS. Based on the following, we would strike Judges Carpinello and Welsh. We rank the remaining judges as follows: (1) Judge Roberts; (2) Judge Lifland; (3) Judge Crane. 1. Hon. Anthony J. Carpinello: A review of reported cases over which Judge Carpinello presided does not demonstrate the same depth of experience with complex securities litigation as some of the other choices (e.g., Lifland and Roberts). Judge Carpinello was a state court justice in the Third Judicial District, which includes Albany, Rensselaer, Ulster, Columbia, Greene, Schoharie and Sullivan Counties. The kinds of cases that come up in the Third District usually are not nearly as sophisticated as cases that arise in New York County. 2. Hon. Stephen G. Crane: Judge Crane has an excellent reputation and has presided over thousands of cases. Judge Crane was one of the first judges appointed to the Commercial Division of Supreme Court, New York County, which handles sophisticated business disputes. Later he served as an appellate judge on the Appellate Division, Second Department. However, we do not see a great deal of experience with securities matters. From 1981 to 1984, Judge Crane was a criminal court judge. Further, as an Appellate Division judge, he heard many cases involving registered sex offenders. 3. Hon. John C. Lifland: Judge Lifland has extensive experience with complex securities cases. He has a reputation for thorough preparation and fairness. Accordingly, Judge Lifland should not be considered a bad choice solely because of his political affiliations. 4. Hon. Kathleen A. Roberts: Judge Roberts, like Judge Crane, has an excellent reputation. She is a popular choice as an arbitrator and thus limits her work to significant, complex matters. That said, bear in mind that Judge Roberts was in the criminal division of the U.S. Attorney's office, and may have been involved in cases implicating matters similar to those at issue in Jeffrey's Florida-based cases. 5. Hon. Diane M. Welsh: Judge Welsh was a Magistrate Judge in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and dealt with many cases involving prisoners' habeas petitions. Her experience does not recommend her for a case of this nature. EFTA00728051

Epstein maintained a deliberately complex web of Virgin Islands corporations, limited liability companies, foundations, and other entities, not all of which are yet known to the Government of the Virgin Islands, through which he carried out and concealed his criminal conduct. 18. Epstein regularly created new entities in the territory and transferred properties and funds between them in order to preserve and shield Epstein's assets and to facilitate and conceal the unlawful acts described in this Complaint 90. The Estate continues to engage in a course of conduct aimed at concealing the criminal activities of the Epstein Enterprise. On November 24, 2019, Epstein's Estate filed an Expedited Motion for Establishment of a

First, the probate court denied the Virgin Islands Attorney General's motion to intervene in the probate proceedings. Second, it appears that the court directed the AG to ensure that its criminal activity liens on the estate's property did not prevent the executors from paying administrative expenses or preserving the estate's assets. However, the estate's bank accounts are currently frozen due to the AG's liens, and the AG is taking the position that it will only allow funds to be released if the AG first approves all of the executors' proposed expe
