On February 25, 2008, I sent you an e-mail setting forth a timetable for moving forward in

Agreement, as modified by the USA's December I94 letter to Ms. Sanchez. In light of the upcoming 
Memorial Day weekend, I have decided to extend that timetable to the close of business on Monday,

"Mr. Epstein Does Not Believe He Is Guilty Of The Federal Charges Enumerated 
Under Section 2255." 
At our December 14, 2007 meeting at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, counsel for 
Epstein announced, inter alia, that it was a "profound injustice" to require Epstein to register as a 
sex offender and reiterated that no federal crime, especially 18 U.S.C. Section 2422(6), had been 
committed since the statute is only violated if a telephone or means of interstate commerce is used 
to do the persuading or inducing. This particular attack on this statute had been previously raised and 
thoroughly considered and rejected by the SDFL and COS prior to the execution of the Agreement. 
You also argued that the facts were inapplicable to the contemplated state statutes and that Epstein 
should not have been allowed to have been induced into the Agreement because the facts were not 
what he understood them to be, It should be noted that the SDFL has never provided you with any 
evidence suppolg its investigation. This is not, and has never been, an Alford plea situation (see 
North Carolina 
Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 91 S.Ct: 160 (1970)). Ultimately, you requested an 
independent review. 
Subsequent to the above-mentioned meeting, the SDFL received three letters from you and/or 
Mr. Starr which expanded on some of the themes announced in the December 14th meeting. 
Essentially, you portrayed the SDFL as trying to coerce a plea to unknown allegations and incoherent 
theories. On December 17, 2007, you decreed that Epstein's conduct did not meet the requirements 
of solicitation of minors to engage in prostitution (Fl. Stat. Section 796.03) one of the enumerated 
crimes Epstein had previously agreed to plead guilty to; that Epstein's conduct does not require 
registration under Florida law; and the State Attorney's Office does not believe the conduct is 
registrable. On December 21, 2007, you rejected the USA's proposed resolution of the 2255 
provision because you "strongly believe that the provable conduct of Mr. Epstein with respect to 
these individuals fails to satisfy the requisite elements of either 18 U.S.C. Section[s] 2422(6) ... or 
... 2423(6)." In your December 26, 2007 correspondence you stated that "we have reiterated in 
previous submissions that Mr. Epstein does not believe he is guilty of the federal charges enumerated 
under section 2255" and requiring "Mr. Epstein to in essence admit guilt, though he believes he did 
not commit the requisite offense." 
As the SDFL has reiterated time and time again, it does not want, nor does it expect, Epstein 
to plead guilty to a charge he does not believe he committed. As a result, we obliged your request 
for an independent de novo review of the investigation and facilitated such a review at the highest 
levels of the Department of Justice. It is our understanding that that independent review is 
complete and a determination has been made that there arc no impediments to a federal prosec 
by the SDFL.

B. 
Method of Compensation and Notification. 
During this same time period, you and others, including the former Solicitor General of the 
United States Kenneth Starr, took issue with the implementation of the methodology of 
compensation (hereinafter "the 2255 provision")3 and the SDFL's intention to notify the victims 
under 18 U.S.C. Section 3771 (you objected to victims being notified of time and place of Epstein's 
state court sentencing hearing). In response, the SUFI, offered, in my opinion, numerous and various 
reasonable modifications and accommodations which ultimately resulted in United States Attorney 
R. Alexander Acosta's' December 19, 2007 letter to Lilly Ann Sanchez. In that letter, the United 
States Attorney tried to eliminate all concerns which, quite frankly, the SDFL was not obligated to 
address, let alone consider. He proposed the following language regarding the 2255 provision: 
"Any person, who while a minor, was a victim of a violation of an offense enumerated in 
Title 18, United States Code, Section 2255, will have the same rights to proceed under 
Section 2255 as she would have had, if Mr. Epstein been tried federally and convicted of an 
enumerated offense. For purposes of implementing this paragraph, the United States shall 
provide Mr. Epstein's attorneys with a list of individuals whom it was prepared to name in 
an Indictment as victims of an enumerated offense by Mr. Epstein. Any judicial authority 
interpreting this provision, including any authority determining which evidentiary burdens 
if any a plaintiff must meet, shall consider that it is the intent of the parties to place these 
identified victims in the same position as they would have been had Mr. Epstein been 
convicted at trial. No more; no less." 
Regarding the issue of notice to the victims, USA Acosta proposed to notify them of the 
federal resolution as required by law; however, "rwle will defer to the discretion of the State 
Attorney regarding whether he wishes to provide victims with notice of the state proceedings, 
although we will provide him with the information necessary to do so if he wishes." As you know, 
you rejected these proposals as well. See December 26, 2007 correspondence from Jay Lefkowitz 
to USA Acosta. 
3 Prior to any issues arising concerning the implementation of the 2255 provision, the SDP', 
unilaterally agreed to assign its responsibility to select the attorney representative for the alleged victims 
to an independent third-party. This was done to avoid even the appearance of favoritism in the selection 
of the attorney representative. As a result, on October 29, 2007, the parties executed an Addendum 
wherein it was mutually agreed that former United States District Court Judge Edward B. 
would 
serve as the independent third-party. Judge Davis selected the venerable law firm of Podhurs and 
Josefsberg to represent the approximately 34 alleged identified victims.

of the guilty plea and sentence no later than October 26, 2007; and (5) the start of the above-
mentioned sentence no later than January 4, 2008. 
Furthermore, and significantly, Epstein agreed that he had the burden of ensuring compliance 
of the Agreement with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office and the Judge of the 15111
Judicial Circuit and "that the failure to do so will be a breach of the agreement" (emphasis added). 
Post-Execution of the Agreement 
Within weeks of the execution of the Agreement, you sought to delay the entry of Epstein's 
guilty plea and sentence. After the SDFL agreed to accommodate your request, counsel for Epstein 
began taking issue with the methodology of compensation, notification to the victims, and the issues 
that had been previously considered and rejected during negotiations, i.e., that the conduct does not 
require registration and the contemplated state and federal statutes have no applicability to the instant 
matter. 
A. 
Delay. 
The Agreement required that "Epstein shall use his best efforts to enter his guilty plea and 
be sentenced not later than October 26, 2007. The United States has no objection to Epstein self-
reporting to begin serving his sentence not later than January 4, 2008." Agreement, pages 4-5, 
paragraph I I (emphasis added). After the Agreement was executed, the SDFL accommodated your 
request to extend the October 26th plea deadline to November 20111 based upon, what seemed to be, 
reasonable scheduling conflict issues.' By early November, you represented that the presiding state 
court judge would not "stagger the plea and sentencing as contemplated in the Agreement."Al though 
the Agreement clearly did not contemplate a staggered "plea and sentencing," the SDFL again agreed 
to accommodate Epstein's request to appear in state court for plea and sentencing on January 4, 
2008.2
I "Accordingly, I have now confirmed with Mr. Epstein's Florida counsel that the state's 
attorney's office and the court will be available to have him enter his plea on November 20. So we will 
plan to proceed on one that date." October 18, 2007 email from Jay Lefkowitz to USA R. Alexander 
Acosta. 
On the same day, Mr. Lelkowitz confirmed with First Assistant Jeffrey H. Sloman that this 
postponement " will not affect when Epstein begins serving his sentence." 
2 Correspondence from Jay Lefkowitz to FAUSA Sloman dated November 8, 2007 ("the judge 
has invited the parties to appear for the plea and sentencing on January 4th, we do not anticipate any delay 
beyond that date.")

Background 
The Agreement was the product of months of negotiations. Specifically, you requested and 
received numerous meetings, at the highest levels of the SDFL and DOJ's Child Exploitation and 
Obscenity Section (CEOS) concerning claims that (a) the investigation merely produced evidence 
of relatively innocuous sexual conduct with some minors who, unbeknownst to Epstein, 
misrepresented their ages; (b) the authorities investigating Epstein engaged in misconduct; (c) the 
contemplated federal statutes have no applicability to this matter; and (d) the federal authorities 
disregarded the fundamental policy against federal intervention with state criminal proceedings. 
After careful review, the SDFL ultimately rejected those claims. Subsequent to its decision, however, 
but before proceeding any further, the SIMI, provided you with 30 days to appeal the decision to the 
Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Alice Fisher. As you recall, you chose to forego an 
appeal to AAG Fisher, and instead pursued a negotiated resolution which, ultimately, resulted in the 
execution of the Agreement. 
The Negotiation Phase 
During negotiations, you tried to avoid a resolution that called for incarceration and 
registration as a sexual offender — both of which would be triggered by a successful federal 
prosecution. The SDFL believed and continues to believe that should this matter proceed to trial, 
your client would be convicted of the federal statutes identified in the Agreement. In order to achieve 
a global resolution, the SDFL indicated a willingness to defer to the State the length of incarceration; 
however, it remained adamant that Epstein register as a sex offender and that all victims identified 
during the investigation remain eligible for compensation. In order to achieve this result, the parties 
considered two alternatives, a plea to federal charges that limited Epstein's sentencing exposure, or, 
as suggested by you, a plea to state charges encompassing Epstein's conduct. Ultimately, the parties 
agreed to, inter alia, a plea to the state charges outlined in the Agreement, registration and a method 
of compensation. 
The Agreement 
The crux of the Agreement defers in favor of the State federal prosecution of Epstein for his 
sexual conduct involving those minor victims identified as of September 24, 2007, in exchange for 
a guilty plea to a state offense that requires registration as a sex offender; a sufficient term of 
imprisonment; and a method of compensation for the victims such that they would be placed in the 
same position as if Epstein had been convicted of one of the enumerated offenses set forth in Title 
18, United States Code, Section 2255. Specifically, the Agreement mandates, inter alia, (1) a guilty 
plea in Palm Beach County Circuit Court to solicitation of prostitution (Fl. Stat. Section 796.07) and 
procurement of minors to engage in prostitution (Fl. Stat. Section 796.03) (an offense that requires 
him to register as a sex offender); (2) a 30-month sentence including IS months' incarceration in 
county jail; (3) a methodology to compensate the victims identified by the United States; (4) entry

Dear Mr. Lefkowitz, 
99 N.F.. a Suter

961-9/00
May 19, 2008 
I am in receipt of your e-mail dated May 19, 2008 to the United States Attorney. The U.S. 
Attorney would like me to advisearthat all communications and inquiries related to the Epstein 
matter, will be handled by AUSA 
Villafana and/or her supervisor, Karen Atkinson, so he does 
not intend to respond to your e-mail or calls unless AUSA Villafana and/or her supervisors advise 
him otherwise. Furthermore, you make reference to "our July 8 deadline." Respectfully, the United 
States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida ("SDFL") has never agreed to any such 
deadline. Should you decide to provide the SDFL with any additional information, please do so 
through AUSA Villafana, and, in her absence, AUSA Atkinson. 
On September 24, 2007, your client, Jeffrey Epstein, in consultation with Gerald Lefcourt, 
Esq. and Lilly Ann Sanchez, Esq., as well as numerous other nationally-renowned lawyers, including 
but not limited to Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, former Independent Counsel and 
Solicitor General of the United States Kenneth Starr, just to name a few, entered into a global 
resolution of state and federal liabilities faced by your client ("the Agreement') with the SDFL. 
Although you and other members of the defense team have since claimed that the Agreement was 
the product of adhesion, the following facts demonstrate that Epstein knowingly and voluntarily 
entered into the Agreement in order to avoid a federal indictment regarding his sexual conduct 
involving minor victims. Despite the fact that by signing the Agreement, Epstein gave up the right 
to object to its provisions, the SDFL bent over backwards to exhaustively consider and re-consider 
your objections. Since these objections have finally been exhausted and Epstein has previously 
expressed his intent to not comply with several of the terms and conditions of the Agreement as set 
forth below, the SIN!, hereby notifies you that unless he complies with all of the terms and 
conditions of the Agreement, as modified by the United States Attorney's December 19, 2007 letter 
to Ms. Sanchez by close of business on Monday, June 2, 2008, the SDFL will elect to terminate the 
Agreement.

The Agreement required that "Epstein shall use his best efforts to enter his guilty plea and 
be sentenced not later than October 26. 2007. The United States has no objection to Epstein self-
reporting to begin serving his sentence not later than January 4, 2008." Agreement, pages 4-5, 
paragraph I 1 (emphasis added). After the Agreement was executed, the SDFL accommodated your 
request to extend the October 26th plea deadline to November 20'h based upon, what seemed to be, 
reasonable scheduling conflict issues.' By early November, you represented that the presiding state 
court judge would not "stagger the plea and sentencing as contemplated in the Agreement."Although 
the Agreement clearly did not contemplate a staggered "plea and sentencing," the SDFL again agreed 
to accommodate Epstein's request to appear in state court for plea and sentencing on January 4, 
2008.2
I "Accordingly, I have now confirmed with Mr. Epstein's Florida counsel that the state's 
attomey's office and the court will be available to have him enter his plea on November 20. So we will 
plan to proceed on one that date." October 18, 2007 email from Jay Lefkowitz to USA R. Alexander 
Acosta. 
On the same day, Mr. Lefkowitz confirmed with First Assistant Jeffrey H. Sloman that this 
postponement " will not affect when Epstein begins serving his sentence." 
2 Correspondence from Jay Lefkowitz to FAUSA Sloman dated November 8, 2007 ("the judge 
has invited the parties to appear for the plea and sentencing on January 41, we do not anticipate any delay 
beyond that date.")

Background 
The Agreement was the product of months of negotiations. Specifically, you requested and 
received numerous meetings, at the highest levels of the SDFL and DOJ's Child Exploitation and 
Obscenity Section (CEOS) concerning claims that (a) the investigation merely produced evidence 
of relatively innocuous sexual conduct with some minors who, unbeknownst to Epstein, 
misrepresented their ages; (b) the authorities investigating Epstein engaged in misconduct; (c) the 
contemplated federal statutes have no applicability to this matter; and (d) the federal authorities 
disregarded the fundamental policy against federal intervention with state criminal proceedings. 
After careful review, the SDFL ultimately rejected those claims. Subsequent to its decision, however, 
but before proceeding any further, the SDFL provided you with 30 days to appeal the decision to the 
Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Alice Fisher. As you recall, you chose to forego an 
appeal to AAG Fisher, and instead pursued a negotiated resolution which, ultimately, resulted in the 
execution of the Agreement. 
The Negotiation Phase 
During negotiations, you tried to avoid a resolution that called for incarceration and 
registration as a sexual offender — both of which would be triggered by a successful federal 
prosecution. The SDFL believed and continues to believe that should this matter proceed to trial, 
your client would be convicted of the federal statutes identified in the Agreement. In order to achieve 
a global resolution, the SDFL indicated a willingness to defer to the State the length of incarceration; 
however, it remained adamant that Epstein register as a sex offender and that all victims identified 
during the investigation remain eligible for compensation. In order to achieve this result, the parties 
considered two alternatives, a plea to federal charges that limited Epstein's sentencing exposure, or, 
as suggested by you, a plea to state charges encompassing Epstein's conduct. Ultimately, the parties 
agreed to, inter alia, a plea to the state charges outlined in the Agreement, registration and a method 
of compensation. 
The Agreement 
The crux of the Agreement defers in favor of the State federal prosecution of Epstein for his 
sexual conduct involving those minor victims identified as of September 24, 2007, in exchange for 
a guilty plea to a state offense that requires registration as a sex offender; a sufficient term of 
imprisonment; and a method of compensation for the victims such that they would be placed in the 
same position as if Epstein had been convicted of one of the enumerated offenses set forth in Title 
18, United States Code, Section 2255. Specifically, the Agreement mandates, inter alia, (1) a guilty 
plea in Palm Beach County Circuit Court to solicitation of prostitution (Fl. Stat. Section 796.07) and 
procurement of minors to engage in prostitution (Fl. Stat. Section 796.03) (an offense that requires 
him to register as a sex offender); (2) a 30-month sentence including 18 months' incarceration in 
county jail; (3) a methodology to compensate the victims identified by the United States; (4) entry

Re: 
Jeffrey Epstein 
Dear Mr. Leficowitz, 
99114E. 4 Street 
Mann. FL 13132 
(305) 961.9100 
May 19, 2008 
I am in receipt of your e-mail dated May 19, 2008 to the United States Attorney. The U.S. 
Attorney would like me to advisesithat all communications and inquiries related to the Epstein 
matter, will be handled by AUSA 
Villafana and/or her supervisor, Karen Atkinson, so he does 
not intend to respond to your e-mail or calls unless AUSA Villafana and/or her supervisors advise 
him otherwise. Furthermore, you make reference to "our July 8 deadline." Respectfully, the United 
States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida ("SDFL") has never agreed to any such 
deadline. Should you decide to provide the SDFL with any additional information, please do so 
through AUSA Villafana, and, in her absence, AUSA Atkinson. 
On September 24, 2007, your client, Jeffrey Epstein, in consultation with Gerald Lefcourt, 
Esq. and Lilly Ann Sanchez, Esq., as well as numerous other nationally-renowned lawyers, including 
but not limited to Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, former Independent Counsel and 
Solicitor General of the United States Kenneth Starr, just to name a few, entered into a global 
resolution of state and federal liabilities faced by your client ("the Agreement") with the SDFL. 
Although you and other members of the defense team have since claimed that the Agreement was 
the product of adhesion, the following facts demonstrate that Epstein knowingly and voluntarily 
entered into the Agreement in order to avoid a federal indictment regarding his sexual conduct 
involving minor victims. Despite the fact that by signing the Agreement, Epstein gave up the right 
to object to its provisions, the SDFL bent over backwards to exhaustively consider and re-consider 
your objections. Since these objections have finally been exhausted and Epstein has previously 
expressed his intent to not comply with several of the terms and conditions of the Agreement as set 
forth below, the SDFL hereby notifies you that unless he complies with all of the terms and 
conditions of the Agreement, as modified by the United States Attorney's December 19, 2007 letter 
to Ms. Sanchez by close of business on Monday, June 2, 2008, the SDFL will elect to terminate the 
Agreement.
