Australian Ave, Suite 400 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Phone 561 209-1047 Fax 561 820-8777 From: Plagenhoef, Ruth (OPR) Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 3:00 PM To: A (USAFLS) Subject: RE: OPR matter Thank you!! From: ES. (USAFLS) (rnailto: i | Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 2:58 PM To: Subject: RE: OPR matter At this time, the Epstein matter is essentially resolved. Pursuant to a confidential Non-Prosecution Agreement with our Office, Mr. Epstein entered a plea to state charges, and is currently incarcerated on those charges. An addendum to the Non-Prosecution Agreement was signed, which provided that an independent Special Master, acting pro bono, would select an attorney to represent those victims who wanted assistance in making claims against Mr. Epstein. The Special Master selected one of the five firms that I had proposed to Mr. Epstein’s attorneys. The selected firm is not the one that employs Mr. Ocariz. There have been no judicial findings regarding the matter. I do not know of any additional accusations made by Mr. Epstein’s attorneys or any further investigation by the Justice Department. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you. Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S. Australian Ave, Suite 400 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Phone 5 EFTA00216271
