They were previously sent to Mr. Geoffrey S. Berman, the FBI and many other Congressional authorities. They speak for themselves. Sincerely, McRae Correctional Facility P. O.

EPSTEIN Dear Sir/Madam, Congratulations on the indictment of Jeffrey E. Epstein! His prosecution will definitely open a Pandora's Box which will surely include Mr. Guy Alan Lewis, ESQ., who orchestrated Mr. Epstein's "sweetheart deal" many years ago. His name is hardly ever mentioned in the media but an often-used stock photo shows him escorting Mr. Epstein and seated with him in court. This is my complaint against Mr. Lewis when he served as the First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Mr. Guy Alan Lewis is personally responsible for my wrongful conviction and more than 24 years of wrongful imprisonment. I am both actually and legally innocent but was framed by the DEA. Details of my more than 289-month-long ordeal can be seen on PACER.gov at www.flsd.uscourts.gov, and www.call.uscourts.gov, Case No.: tionally, my FOIA cases are published at EFTA00074106  In summary, two different persons were erroneously assigned the exact same NADDIS number: former Senior Radar ontroller/Supervisor from Nassau, Bahamas. (See Exhibit A.) The other person is rom Belleville, Illinois, a member of The Wolf Pack, a family of drug dealers. (See Exhibit B.) Rather than admit this obvious internal DEA bureaucratic error, Guy Alan Lewis personally engineered my malicious prosecution and wrongful conviction. Now that Mr. Epstein is in your crosshairs, I am certain that he will cooperate and divulge the secrets of how he was able to elude justice for the past two decades. I am also very confident that he will disclose that Guy Alan Lewis, and others, were very handsomely paid to make it happen, just like he fabricated a case against me and needlessly destroyed my life. I trust that you will ensure that this matter is brought to the attention of the appropriate authorities. Please be advised that this complaint will also be widely distributed to the media. Sincerely McRae Correctional Facility P. O.

It's still a commercial sex act — and he could have been jailed for the rest of his life under federal law," she said. It would be easy to dismiss the Epstein case as another example of how there are two systems of justice in America, one for the rich and one for the poor. But a thorough analysis of the case tells a far more troubling story. A close look at the trove of letters and emails contained in court records provides a window into the plea negotiations, revealing an unusual level of collaboration between federal prosecutors and Epstein's legal team that even government lawyers, in recent court documents, admitted was unorthodox. Acosta, in 2011, would explain that he was unduly pressured by Epstein's heavy-hitting lawyers — Lefkowitz, Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, Jack Goldberger, Roy Black, former U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis, Gerald Lefcourt, and Kenneth Starr, the former Whitewater special prosecutor who investigated Bill Clinton's sexual liaisons with Monica Lewinsky. `AVOID THE PRESS' PLAN That included keeping the deal from Epstein's victims, emails show. "Thank you for the commitment you made to me during our Oct. 12 meeting," Lefkowitz wrote in a letter to Acosta after their breakfast meeting in West Palm Beach. He added that he was hopeful that Acosta would abide by a promise to keep the deal confidential. "You ... assured me that your office would not ... contact any of the identified individuals, potential witnesses or potential civil claimants and the respective counsel in this matter," Lefkowitz wrote. https://www.miamihcrald.cominews/local/article220097825.html 12/4/2018 EFTA00074110  Why Judge Denied a Financier His `Gilded Cage' By BENJAMIN WEISER ing the "victim-recruiters" hundreds of large diamond ring.

A Threat to Girls Judge Berman's decision portrayed Mr. Epstein as sex offender who could not be trusted to curb his sexual fixation with teenagers. He pointed to the nature of Mr. Epstein's alleged crimes and his propensity to commit them. "The crimes Mr. Epstein has been charged with are among the most heinous in the law principally, in the court's view, because they involve minor girls," the judge wrote.

(Florida) i=m Federal Correctional Complex P. 0. Box 1031 Coleman, FL 33521-1031 USA DOB THE CASE In 1991 citizen and resident of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, volunteers o ecome a con en is informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration in NasSau, Bahamas. I was a Senior Radar Controller at the Nassau International Airport. I was instrumental in the seizures of several large shipments of drugs, for which I was paid by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration). I soon became acquainted with the owners and operators of a seafood company in South Florida, two brothers, one of whom was a drug-trafficker. As a confidential informant, I sought to but was never able to cause a seizure with his organization, which I was to later learn was a tightly knitted family enterprise. When I eventually learnt that he and several family members had gotten arrested, my efforts came to a stand-still. I then told Agent Shelton that I did not know of any other drug traffickers and I dedicated my free time to solely searching for venture capital. I eventually secured U53$ MILLION from "Bancor of Asia/Asian Bancor", in Manila, the Philippines, for "Daybreak Enterprises", my start-up, commercial crawfishing business. • In 1995, I was suddenly arrested by agents of the DEA and FBI in Florida, as I visited with my girlfriend, son and niece. I was shocked beyond belief! To my amazement, I had been indicted along with eighteen others, in a conspiracy that imported 908 kilograms of cocaine into Fort Lauderdale via Belize! Unbelievable! During twenty months awaiting trial, I repeatedly rejected "plea bargains" that began at 30 years, then 12 years, then 6 years, finally to a proposed dismissal of the indictment if I pled guilty to using a telephone Illegally, which carried a maximum of 48 months. hup://www.iippi.org,/inmates/florida/j ul 1/9/2007 EFTA00074112 Jesse Dean Page 2 of 6 I alone went to trial, was convicted and sentenced to 30 years! Everyone else pleaded guilty and received lesser sentences. I vigorously professed my innocence then and continuously throughout the next ten years, to now. How could I possibly be charged and convicted for something I knew absolutely nothing about? I was a confidential informant for the DEA! A terrible mistake must have been made! My "trial" was a complete "rail-road"! The leader of the conspiracy (the drug-trafficker at the seafood company) "testified" (in order to reduce his 30-year sentence and free his wife) that I was his partner from 1987! No matter that when he was arrested, his statements, comprising 33 names, made no mention of me whatsoever! His brother, who was only charged with money-laundering, gave statements which made no mention of any drug-trafficking activities on my behalf. A DEA Special Agent "testified" that I was given instructions which I vigorously denied, whereupon the government magically produced a document, allegedly signed by me, that I had never seen in my life, nor since "trial"! My defense was known as "entrapment by estoppel, innocent intent or public authority". Simply put, as a confidential informant, I was authorized to engage in activities which would otherwise be criminal; exactly what I had always done! To my surprise, I learnt at trial that I had allegedly been "deactivated" but not informed - a gross violation of the Department of Justice's own "Guidelines Regarding the Use of Confidential Informants- . To add insult to injury, in 2002, five years after my "trial", I learnt for the first time that the government had supressed information which further exonerated me I had berm reviously cleared by a joint U.S./Bahamian investigation; I had been misidentified with one I f Belleville, Illinois, and the mysterious document that had been used against me at "trio' , bUUUCIIIy URI not exist! How convenient! Despite these very detailed showings of both my actual and legal innocence and the fraud that was perpetrated upon me and the court, I remain imprisoned; each and every court that has reviewed my claims has denied me relief, ignoring their own laws, the facts and the truth! Since 1999, I have been representing myself. I need an attorney to add credibility and supplement my pleadings. Intp://www.iippi.org/inmates/floridi ht nil 1/9/2007 EFTA00074113
