Hi Jeff – Sorry, I wasn’t clear. The notice to the victims doesn’t say anything about the story, it is just the standard notification letter. Goldberger gets a copy of all the letters and I wondered whether, in my cover letter to him, I should say something.

Then, Epstein’s folks will either file that response in federal court to show that the federal criminal action is still pending or they will file a motion for return of property in federal court and when we say, “no,” then they will claim that the federal criminal action is still pending.
