An internal law enforcement email chain from December 2019 forwarding a tip about William 'Dollar Bill' Mersey, a convicted felon who had been incarcerated with Jeffrey Epstein, posting claims about Epstein's death on an escort review board.
This document is an email chain between the New York County District Attorney's Office Human Trafficking Response Unit and members of the NYPD/FBI Child Exploitation Human Trafficking Task Force. In December 2019, an ADA forwarded a tip about William Mersey—a man previously prosecuted for promoting prostitution—who was posting on TNA Board (an escort review site) claiming to have knowledge about Jeffrey Epstein's death. The email notes that while Mersey has 'a penchant for hyperbole,' the initial details appeared to check out, prompting the referral to federal investigators.

Someone we work with who does a lot of intel-gathering on john review boards saw the following post on a review board called TNA. "Dollar Bill" is William Mersey. We prosecuted him for a felony promoting prostitution conspiracy; he had a federal case as well. Don't want to waste your time and this may be complete bs, but I didn't want to ignore it, and suggested that I forward it to you.
