From: Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation@gmail.com> To: Mortimer Zuckerman > Subject: Re: Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:44:44 +0000 mort, I understand the myriad of strains that you are laboring under. To be fair , you first told me to work on your documents and i should feel comfortable that we would reach an agreement. I spent weeks of my time and my teams time. we found and corrected errors that would have cost over 100 million dollars based on faulty drafting. Alan halperin charged you only 34k. You then told me that I should stand down and Ellen had everything under control. However after spending hours with her. She didn't even know the basis in your billion dollars notes. you then asked me to come see you with Terje , and agreed and shook hands with both terje and i a fee of 21 million dollars and argued for Terje to receive a million of it. This is roughly half the fee I told you is my standard. I hired two people , had many meetings, some with Chris to revivew all your documents . again though you had my contracts since september told me that now as the daily news would be merged the post. I should wait another week. I have told you all along that a performance based fee would be a percentage of tax saviings and cost a lot more money. I told you that your trust statements were problematic as they had notes due form the daily news. the statement givein to the bank to support your loans was an issue.. I have repeatedly said there are ways to deal with all these issues. , but this is what I do for a liviing. you are my very good friend and I have given you great advice. I then recievd a call from LEon Black , telling me that you had asked to find a sophisticated tax person, and he also pointed you to me. I am aware of the difficutly you have in paying real money for real advice. I am surprised as when it comes to real esate you have always been the top bidder for A qualtiy property. paying more that others though reasonsoble and with great results. I have been very clear, that your issues required delicate surgery. litigation profile, income tax, real estate trasnfer, sec regualtions as a board memeber of BXP. charitbel contribuiton and pledges. art work that needs to get sold asap. and partnership accountings . A cash flow statment that is dangerous , when combined with 60 million dollars of unfunded capital commitments.. Billoins of dollars of fictional preferred on your balance sheet.. ambiguous settlement language with Marla. Three times now you have agreed to something , and then changed your mind the following week. I only have good feelings towards you, and am torn watching you do yourself financial harm. My offer to work for 20 million is of course no longer in effect. and though I have found hundreds of millions of dollars of issues. you appear to find my best advice too expensive, I an aware of your health issues as you know, and will stand by you as a friend. giving you answers to questions that are the bread and butter of my business , and as of today being out of pocket on your behalf is my act of friendship. that doesn't make it fair.
