EFTA00193544

Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS)

From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 10:35 AM To: Acosta, Alex (USAFLS), Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS); Senior, Robert (USAFLS); Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS) Cc: Kuyrkendall, E N. (FBI); Richards, Jason R. (FBI) Subject: RE: Letter from Michael Tein

Right now I am digesting something filed in a new federal civil lawsuit against Epstein. Bruce Reinhart is listed as counsel of record for Sarah Kellen, and a deposition transcript attached to the removal petition includes questions from Mike Tein to G. implying that Jeff and I both went to her house and promised her compensation after the end of the criminal case.

Karen and I put a call in to Dexter about the Bruce issue and we are waiting to hear back.

I recommend sending a letter telling them that their position makes it impossible for Mr. Epstein to fully perform his contractual obligations and that, coupled with Mr. Rubinstein’s denial that C.W. was a victim, places them in breach of the agreement and we intend to proceed.

We may want to use that opportunity to put them on notice that Bruce Reinhart cannot represent Ms. Kellen in connection with the criminal litigation.
