Hi Dexter – Jay’s complaint was that we were “advertising” the fact that the victims are now entitled to see the agreement, and he saw that as a breach of the confidentiality clause. I agree with you that this is just an extra step that the victims have to take to get the agreement, but I think it balances Epstein’s complaints with the Court’s desire that we inform the victims.

Does Epstein’s lawyer not want the victims to know that an agreement exists? It seems they are imposing an additional barrier, since the victims’ lawyer will be able to review the order signed by Judge Marra. Once the attorney does that, I’m certain the attorney will want to obtain a copy of the Agreement. I’m not sure how this achieves any objective for Epstein, but if they’re satisfied with that language, that’s fine. As long as the victims know there is an agreement between Epstein and the U.S. Government, I believe we have complied with Judge Marra’s order.
