Checking in again. I heard that a NYT reporter has a lead on a very wide and expensive UES townhouse coming to market soon, which again made me think of the Epstein property. I would love to get some clarity on the status of this property from you today, if possible, as I don’t want to get scooped.¶
Thanks for your time and help. My cell is¶
Best,¶

Hey¶
I hope you had a great weekend, and apologies again for calling you on your day off.¶
I wanted to check in because you mentioned you might be able to ask around internally today about the Epstein property, to get me some information about its current legal status. It sounds like the estate has been speaking with brokers, and I have read articles saying the property may be coming to the market soon, but I still don’t feel clear on whether that would be possible, given all the legal issues.¶
My main questions are:¶
- A title report I pulled in October showed tha (Epstein’s mansion) has a lis pendens on it from the US government.
EFTA00082101¶
-
Is the lis pendens meant to still be there? (I understand it was from the criminal case that died with Epstein.)
-
If yes, is it now associated with a civil forfeiture action from the government? Or is it still there was associated with the original criminal action?
-
Do the private claims from victims of Epstein have any bearing over whether the property can be sold?
-
(This is a general question): What are civil forfeiture claims from the US government based on? Is there one in place at this particular property? Or will there be?
-
Is the DOJ currently in talks with representatives of Epstein’s estate, including but not limited to Mark Epstein, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, about removing the pendens? Or about reaching an interlocutory agreement that would allow the estate to be sold?
-
Is an interlocutory agreement currently in place?
-
Please provide any additional information into the legal status of this property and the lis pendens that you consider important. I am trying to understand if there are any legal restrictions that would prevent it being sold.
Thanks again. Please feel free to call if you want to discuss.¶
