He assisted Jeffrey Epstein in sourcing and disposing of works of art and may very well have loaned items to him as well. I understand that Jeffrey Epstein owed him a substantial sum of money in consultation fees in relation to works of art and that I would therefore have a claim on the estate in consideration of this. My father did mention in passing the presence of young girls with Jeffrey Epstein and had he not sadly died I expect my father would have reported his concerns to the relevant authorities I need to communicate with the US Attorney Geoffrey Berman in charge of the case against Jeffrey Epstein — can you therefore please pass this information on to him.
