Mrs. Rita Goodman, Owner, 3814 Seagate Ave., was contacted; she would only speak through a closed window. When she learned we were making inquiries about Jeffrey Epstein she called Mark Epstein, applicant’s brother, who lives on the second floor of this private house. As this was an inadvertent meeting, a brief conversation followed.¶
It was learned from Mark Epstein that he and his brother, J were in business for themselves, making and selling silk paintings. (On his application, subject described his self employment as tutoring.) Mark was the designer and painter and Jeffrey handled sales. They were in business about two years, from 1972 to 1973. After the business¶
Recently, Jeffrey Epstein was at the Dalton School, New York City, where he taught. In mid-March 1976 subject went to work for Bear, Stearns & Co.¶
Note: conversation was terminated as Mark Epstein was becoming bored and restless. There was an air of uncooperation and he seemed to resent this inquiry. Mrs. Goodman was also hesitant about releasing information about applicant (See residence report.)¶
