The Notification specifically provided that each victim would receive a copy with the names of all other victims redacted. We also have provided the list only by hand delivery to counsel for Mr. Epstein with a cover sheet advising them that disclosing the names to anyone could violate federal and/or state law. That cover sheet will accompany the victim notification even when it is sent to the victims themselves. A. Marie Villafaña Assistant U.S. Attorney 561 209-1047

Kim, The consensus is that there’s nothing to talk to Edwards about because the agreement has been signed and the federal case is over. We will not be reaching out to Edwards to get an extension. As to the draft notice, Epstein’s lawyers raised a similar concern. Dexter

208 EFTA00190552 Our concern is that the list of individuals contains the names of minors. Have you thought about just listing initials? Or not providing the entire list to each victim? Also – any word from victim counsel on an extension?

Hi Alex and Dexter – Here is the proposed notification that was provided to Epstein’s counsel last week. << File: Victim Identification and Notification Final with Goldberger sig revised.wpd >> Assuming that they don’t sign it tomorrow, I would remove the bottom portion that calls for Epstein’s signature and incorporate some instructional language along with notice that Jack Goldberger is the contact person for any civil litigation.
