-4 U.S. Department of Justice • United States Attorney Southern District of Florida 500 South Australian Ave, Suite 400 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 (561) 820-8711 Facsimile: (561) 820-8777 December I I, 2008 VIA HAND DELIVERY Palm Beach Sheriff's Office Corrections Division 3228 Gun Club Road West Palm Beach, FL 33406 Re: Work Release Application of Jeffrey Epstein Dear The U.S. Attorney's Office recently learned that Inmate Jeffrey Epstein applied for and was approved for participation in the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office's ("PBSO") work release program. Through a request for public records, I have received a copy of Mr. Epstein's work release file. After doing some intemet research of public records and making a few telephone calls, I discovered some inaccuracies and omissions ah ilein's file that I wanted to bring to your attention. During a recent meeting, , one of Mr. Epstein's attorneys, invited us to share our concerns with PBSO. Eligibility for Participation I understand that Mr. Epstein would be ineligible for participation in the work release program if he committed three violations of F.S.S. 796 within the past five years. Mr. Epstein has been charged with and convicted of a felony violation of F.S.S. 796.07. In order to be convicted of a felony violation of that statute, one must commit "a third or subsequent violation." In other words, Mr. Epstein has committed at least three violations of Section 796.07, and in his "Alternative Custody Program Placement Synopsis," Mr. Epstein's charges are described as "Recommit: Prostitution." In addition to those three violations, Mr. Epstein also has been convicted of violating F.S.S. 796.03, procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution. Throughout his EFTA01714151 e DECEMBER I I, PAGE 2 paperwork, this violation is referred to simply as "prostitution." The charge is not a solicitation of prostitution charge, it is a procurement of a minor to engage in prostitution. Florida courts have defined the offense as "inducing a victim to engage in sexual activity" for money and "persuading, inducing, or prevailing upon a person to do something sexual" for financial gain. In other words, the statute addresses the recruiting of minors who have not previously been involved in prostitution to engage in sexual activity for commercial gain to a recruiter or "pimp"/"madame." The Florida Legislature has acknowledged the significant difference between solicitation under F.S.S. 796.07 and procurement of minors under F.S.S. 796.03 by requiring persons convicted of violating F.S.S. 796.03 to register as sex offenders. The distinction may be meaningful to the victims of Mr. Epstein's offenses, who could feel that they are being stigmatized as "prostitutes." Inaccuracies and Omission in Work Release Application and Related Documents Throughout the records related to Mr. Epstein's work release placement, he is alternatively referred to as working for "The Florida Science Foundation" or "self- employed," and Mr. Epstein lists his salary as $250,000. Mr. Epstein describes himself as "returning to work" and "eligible for re-employment" at The Florida Science Foundation. Please be advised that the only W-2 that Mr. Epstein provided is from Financial Trust Company, Inc., which shows that Mr. Epstein was employed in the U.S. Virgin Islands at a salary of $180,785.62, not $250,000. Mr. Epstein provided to you no documentation regarding his pre-incarceration employment with "The Florida Science Foundation" or its corporate alter-ego, "The C.O.U.Q. Foundation, Inc." As you will see, the Foundation, its offices, and Mr. Epstein's purported job schedule were all created on the eve of Mr. Epstein's incarceration in order to provide him with a basis for seeking work release. The Florida Science Foundation was not registered with the State of Florida and had no office space or telephone number until after Mr. Epstein was already incarcerated. The a lication filed with the State of Florida and signed under pena lists nd the Foundation's tele hone number as That is the telephone number ne of the law firms re resenting Mr. Epstein. is a partner at the law firm of in New York and has no association with the firm. Checking public records available on the Internet, I located the IRS returns of "The C.O.U.Q. Foundation, Inc." for fiscal years 1999 through 2006 (which covers the period EFTA01714152 DECEMBER 11, 2008 PAGE 3 through 2/28/07).' These sworn filings show that Mr. Epstein worked for the Foundation for only one hour per week and earned no compensation. ( page 6 of each these returns were signed under penalty of perjury by either Mr. Epstein or who is listed in Mx. Epstein's work release file as Mr. Epstein's "supervisor." Mr. Epstein's representations concerning his prior work duties and salary may violate the salary and employment verification requirements of C.O.P. #926.01(V)(C)(7) and (8). In response to your requirement of "a detailed work schedule," has provided the following two sentences: [Mr. Epstein's] duties will require him to work six days a week, Monday through Saturday, at the Foundation's office located at 250 S. Australian Avenue, Suite 1404, West Palm Beach, Florida from the hours of 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. As President of the Foundation, Mr. Epstein will be responsible for the general oversight and management of the Foundation, and particularly, to seek out, evaluate and determine worthy charitable causes to which the Foundation may make contributions. l id not disclose that Mr. Epstein only worked one hour per week prior to his incarceration and has provided no explanation of why Mr. Epstein could perform these duties in one hour per week before he was incarcerated but now needs to spend 72 hours each week to do the same job. Again, this appears to be inconsistent with C.O.P. #926.01(VXCX7). ri gs signed the "Alternative Custo Unit Program Agreement" as Mr. Epstein's "employer." In that Agreement, promises to "notify the Alternative 'The returns are available online at the followin 'ublic websites: EFTA01714153 DECEMBER 11, PAGE 4 Custody Unit immediately if the Participant: (1) Fails to appear for work at the scheduled time; and 2 Leave he place of employment prior to the scheduled time." Both in this form and in letter in support of Mr. Epstein's ap lic ' neglects to inform the Sheriff's Office of two significant facts. Firs ives and works in the New York metropolitan area. He likely will not be present at Mr. Epstein's workplace, so he may not know if Mr. E stein "fails to appear for work" or "leaves the place of stein employment." In that event, so will not be able to supervise Mr. Epstein's actual work to determine w et er e is truly doing the work of The Florida Science Foundation.' Second "employs" Foundation and oes not "employ" Mr. Epstein. Instead, Mr. Epstein Mr. Epstein is the President and founder of The Florida Science s its Vice President. More importantly, Mr. Epstein is als. is and President of the Financial Trust Company, his for-profit corporation. s Mr. Epstein's subordinate at that entity as well. One of Mr. Epstein's attorneys has suggested that Mr. Epstein is using his time on work release to manage investments resulting in investment income of millions of dollars. If that is true, then Mr. Epstein is acting outside of the scope of his employment with The Florida Science Foundation. Instead, that would be in keep' ' • pstein's work for his for-profit corporation, which would inure to the benefit o ecause that work would result in a 1 benefit to him, and because he is Mr. Epstein's subordinate at that corporation, y be reluctant to inform the Sheriff's Office of this violation of the terms of Mr. Epstein's Work Release contract. The "references" listed by Mr. Epstein all appear to have the same conflict of interest. Mr. Epstein did not list any past or present co-workers, supervisors, or clients. Instead, he has listed four attorneys who are currently retained-and paid—by Mr. Epstein. Their attorney- client privilege obligations might further restrain them from notifying the Sheriff's Office if Mr. Epstein was not abiding by the work release rules. As I previously mentioned to e decision regarding work release is completely within the discretion of the Sheriff's Office. The purpose of this letter is simply with information concerning Mr. Epstein's offenses and his work situation. who conducted the change of plea and sentencing, heard the factual proffer and imposed Mr. Epstein's sentence.

Request for Notification As I had previously asked of I would appreciate if you would keep me informed of any changes to Mr. Epstein's release status so that I may fulfill my obligations to keep the victims identified through the federal investigation informed of Mr. Epstein's status. I have informed all of the known victims of Mr. Epstein of the change in his incarceration status and that you are the contact person if they have any questions. Some may ask that their locations be amongst the "Exclusionary Zones" programmed into Mr. Epstein's GPS unit. If you need their addresses, please let me know.
