So, I cannot comment with 10% certainty; but did generally want to respond. ' kly, I was shocked that Bob Josefsberg wanted attorneys' fees relating That issue was never discussed with me at anytime from late March up unti I paid the settlement amount to you by hand delivery in my office sometime ago. In exchange for the check, Mr. Epstein received a full release which you gave to me. taken place your was seeking additional monies over and above those paid to You are Ms wyers, and I would have expected some discussions to have completely resolve the case which you never did with me or anyone in my office. I am familiar that your firm has requested over $400,000.00 in fees for representation of various individuals on the list. I also know t at 163,000 plus has been paid. In that no fees were requested on behalf of Ms. t any time to my office, I can only assume that you and your firm considered yourse ully paid from the monies which you have thus far received. I do understand that Judge Davis was chosen to be the special master to select an attorney representative for the alleged victims. I am obviously aware that Bob was selected as that attorney rep. I am not in a position to comment on your unilaterally imposed deadline as to what was or was not agreed between or among the USAO and L •A•W•Y•E• It •S 515 N. FLAMER DRIVE / SIETE 400 / WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 33401 TELEPHONE (561) S42-2320 FAX (561) £144-6929 mailabc1claw.com EFTA00212868 June 11, 2009 Page 2 Mr. Epstein's attorney. I am unaware that Mr. Epstein waived any rights with regard to Bob's role or the payment of fee issue. It seems absurd to me that the attorney rep (whoever that would have been) would have been allowed to prepare their entire case, or a significant portion of it, and expect Mr. Epstein to pay the bill prior to making a demand. That clearly falls well outside of the spirit or the intent of the NPA as I read it. I do know Roy Black offered each of your clients, on behalf of Mr. Epstein, $50,000. It is my understanding he got a blanket, "no takers", to th did receive a call shortly thereafter from Bob Josefsberg who said that as willing to settle for $50,000. From a ractical standpoint, what kind of fees would you have expected to receive from ased on will Epstein has paid to date? The same e question wou e wi regard to Ms who was previously offered $50,000 and she rejected that amount. The fact that she now comes back and says, "Please make me an offer", does not necessarily entitle her to any attorneys' fees. With regard to your remedies' section, I have been advised that a special master, other than Judge Davis, is the mechanism for resolving any fee disputes. So, in fact that may be the best way to handle a fee dispute, as distinct from purported entitlement to fees. I need to consider that aspect. I do not necessarily agree that your clients are third-party beneficiaries of the NPA and the addendum. So that you don't claim some additional waiver, let me be clear, I also do not believe your equitable estoppel theory is valid. Cordially yo Robed . Critton, Jr. RDC/clz cc: Jack Goldberger, Esq.

The Blotter: Millionaire Sex Scandal

The Blotter: Millionaire Sex Scandal Page 1 of 8 Millionaire Employs Legal Dream Team in Sex Scandal July 28, 2006 3:16 PM Maddy Sauer Reports: Though he's only been charged with solicitation of a prostitute, New York financier Jeffrey Epstein has a dream team of lawyers working on his behalf. A lengthy police probe was conducted in Palm Beach to investigate allegations that Epstein paid young and underage girls to massage him and have sex or engage in sexual activity with him. Police had wanted to arrest him on four counts of illegal sexual activity with minors. While that investigation was ongoing, Epstein's lawyers were already hard at work. His defense team includes Alan Dershowitz, Roy Black, Jack Goldberger, and Gerald Lefcourt. Roy Black, whose former clients include Rush Limbaugh and William Kennedy Smith, said that private investigators were used to investigate the claims made by the young and underage girls who told police they were paid to massage Epstein.
