Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 10:35 AM To: Acosta, Alex (USAFLS); Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS); Senior, Robert (USAFLS); Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS) Cc: Kuyrkendall, E N. (MM) (FBI); Richards, Jason R. (MM) (FBI) Subject: RE: Letter from Michael Tein Right now I am digesting something filed in a new federal civil lawsuit against Epstein. Bruce Reinhart is listed as counsel of record for Sarah Kellen, and a deposition transcript attached to the removal petition includes questions from Mike rein to G. implying that Jeff and I both went to her house and promised her compensation after the end of the criminal case. Karen and I put a call in to Dexter about the Bruce issue and we are waiting to hear back. I recommend sending a letter telling them that their position makes it impossible for Mr. Epstein to fully perform his contractual obligations and that, coupled with Mr. Rubinstein's denial that C.W. was a victim, places them in breach of the agreement and we intend to proceed. We may want to use that opportunity to put them on notice that Bruce Reinhart cannot represent Ms. Kellen in connection with the criminal litigation. A.

Original Message From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) To: Acosta, Alex (USAFLS); Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS); Senior, Robert (USAFLS); Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS) Cc: Kuyrkendall, E N. (FBI); Richards, Jason R. (FBI) Sent: Tue Jul 22 09:29:37 2008 Subject: Letter from Michael Tein Good morning: Mike Tein faxed the following letter to our office at 6:30 last night. It shows that Alex received a copy, but I thought I should scan and share with all of you. Tein claims that it is his "ethical duty" to stay the civil litigation. What I don't understand is how Epstein can perform his contractual obligations with respect to the victim litigation if he intends to stay all litigation until the agreement is fully performed. Indicting him would make our lives so much easier. The Jane Doe suit against us would become moot, we now have a guilty plea that can be used against Mr. Epstein, and if they try to raise the civil suits to impeach our witnesses, we can bring in the fact that he promised to pay them and then reneged. Please advise how you would like to proceed. 256 EFTA00190585
