Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) From: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 3:52 PM To: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Cc: Senior, Robert (USAFLS) Subject: RE: Epstein Li I don't think it's necessary to point out the NY Post article to those victims and in the next breath say that Rubenstein's statement contradicts the agreement. I think our notice to them should give them some comfort over a tabloid story. From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 3:47 PM To: Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS); Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS); Lee, Dexter (USAFLS) Cc: Kuyrkendall, E N. (FBI); Richards, Jason R. (FBI) Subject: Epstein Well, our friend Jack Goldberger (probably really Mike Tein) is trying to be very smart. They have filed a Motion for Return of Property in State Court. The State Attorney will, no doubt, file a response saying, "we don't have it, the FBI took it pursuant to a federal grand jury subpoena." Then, Epstein's folks will either file that response in federal court to show that the federal criminal action is still pending or they will file a motion for return of property in federal court and when we say, "no," then they will claim that the federal criminal action is still pending. I plan to ignore it for now. On another note, I plan to send copies of II more victim notifications to Goldberger today. These girls currently arc unrepresented. I have redacted their addresses and intend to state in the cover letter that the victims will initiate contact when and if they decide to file a claim. Should I include anything about how Mr. Rubenstein's statement to the New York Post directly contradicts Epstein's agreement? Epstein's rep, Howard Ruben stein, said, "The lawsuit has absolutely no merit. They're just looking for money. These women have lied repeatedly, and in no way shape or form were they victims. They were at his place freely and voluntarily. And one of them showed Epstein a fake ID." A. Marie Villafillia Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.
