Title: (U//FOUO) REQUEST CASE FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $275.00 FOR Re: 72-MM-113327, 03/17/2010 HS,» 2s contacted by ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ, date of birth, ae. EDWARDS was an attorney representing four female plaintiffs who were suing JEFFERY EPSTEIN. RODRIGUEZ was a previous employee of EPSTEIN. EDWARDS deposed RODRIGUEZ and served him with a federal subpoena duces tecum to provide all documents relating to the case. RODRIGUEZ did not turn the documents over but instead tried to sell the documents to EDWARDS, claiming the documents were relevant and important to the civil litigation. EDWARDS explained to RODRIGUEZ that demanding money in return for the documents was illegal and that he was obligated under the subpoena to turn them over. RODRIGUEZ persisted he would only turn the documents over for payment. On November 3, 2009, RODRIGUEZ met with an undercover employee (UCE) in an attempt to sell the documents. Approval was given for $50,000.00 of “show money" for the operation. A $250.00 fee was charged for obtaining the funds in addition to a $25.00 fee for the wire transfer. The total cost for obtaining the show money was $275.00. ** o¢ EFTA00108696
