From: "Goldstein, Matthew" <matthew.goldstein@nytimes.com> To: < Subject: Epstein financials Date: Tue, 08 Oct 2019 14:15:11 +0000 ICYM missed our story from last week I am sending it to you as we will continue report out the mystery of Epstein's financial operation on the Virgin Islands which benefited from a incredibly lucrative tax break afforded by US and Virgin Islands law. The biggest question remains the $200 million that Epstein's Southern Trust took in as revenue and made in profits -- in the years after his Florida conviction. We remain committed to getting to the bottom of this puzzling influx of cash. Is there any guidance the office can provide that there is interest in the financial issues raised by the Epstein affair, even after his death. Finally we have been told that the offices of Southern Trust were searched on Aug. 12-- the same day authorities search Epstein's island residence. Can you confirm? We also have been told by an eyewitness that two weeks before Epstein's arrest, there were several large garbage bags with shredded documents seen outside the office door to Southern Trust. Do you know anything about this? If nothing else, I hope we can engage some discussion on these issues. As much as we are committed to solving the many mysteries of Epstein's financial business, we want to separate fact from fiction and fact from Internet conspiracies best matt https://www.nytimes.corn/2019/10/03/business/jeffrey-epstein-southern-trust.html Matthew Goldstein The New York Times (w) 212-556-1665 (c) 347-843-9938 @mattgoldstein26 EFTA00091269
