Attorney General George,

We appreciate your recognition of the critical importance of paying the ongoing maintenance expenses of the Epstein Estate. Because the Estate cannot survive the indefinite “hold” placed on the Estate’s account at FirstBank as the result of the Criminal Activity Lien Notices recently issued by your office, and because FirstBank has informed us that it will maintain that hold absent “an Order from a court of appropriate jurisdiction releasing the [Government’s] lien claims,” the Co-Executors have today sought an order from the Superior Court releasing all funds necessary for the routine administration of the Estate and the preservation of its assets.

We received your communication yesterday afternoon regarding the voluntary compensation program proposed by the Co-Executors and endorsed by the Court and claimants’ counsel at the hearing on February 4. We will consult with our clients and expect to respond shortly.

Best regards,

## Christopher Allen Kroblin
