Welcome to my world. I love the way that they want to interpret this agreement. First, during the negotiations, I repeatedly told Jay that we could not bind the girls to Epstein’s desired out-of-court settlement strategy and, therefore, the agreement could not try to bind them in that way.¶
The $50,000/$150,000 thing is a complete red herring, and Jay keeps calling it a “limit,” when it is actually a floor, not a ceiling.¶
It also looks like they are planning to ask for and receive a sentence far lower than the one we agreed to. Has anyone talked to Barry about this? Maybe this is the real reason for the delay in entering the guilty plea? We also have to contact the victims to tell me about the outcome of the case and to advise them that an attorney will be contacting them regarding possible claims against Mr. Epstein. If we don’t do that, it may be a violation of the Florida Bar Rules for the selected attorney to “cold call” the girls.¶
Their complaint about the 24-year-old concerns me only because their continued dragging out of this matter is possibly going to foreclose other girls. The language of the agreement with Epstein and the letter to Judge both refer to persons we have identified as victims as defined in 2255, it says nothing about whether the girls’ claims are necessarily valid. I have no idea whether the girl who currently is 24 either wants to sue Epstein or has any viable state or other federal claims — that is why we are TRYING to get them a lawyer. And they have always known that most of the girls are now over the age of 18 — goodness — the time period of the violations was from 2001 to 2005 and it is now the end of 2007!¶
Why don’t we agree to mutual recission and indict him?¶
