Assistant U.S. Attorney 561-209-1047 -----Original Message---- From: Barrett, Wayne (mailto:Wayne.Barrett@newsweekdailybeast.com) Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 4:58 PM To: Subject: Hi 1Phrlititheltt This is Jacob Albert, research assistant for Wayne Barrett, at Newsweek. I know you've said that you wouldn't comment on our questions, but I wanted to give you the chance to hear what we're asking before declining. If you'd rather speak by phone, on or off record, I'm 1) The nonprosecution deal that you worked out specified that Epstein would do 30 months in jail? What's your understanding of why he did only 13 of the 18mo of his jail sentence, and why was he excused from the carrying out the remainder of his sentence? Who approved the sentence reduction, at state or federal level, and why? 2) Do you have any knowledge of how Jeffrey Epstein was able to preserve personal and corporate tax benefits/exemption in the Virgin Islands, in 2009, which requires residency (183 days) that Epstein was unable to meet, as he was under house arrest during that period? Do you know whether VI residency requirements for tax benefits/exemptions are waived if you're in prison or under house arrest in another state? If you still have no comment, please let me know; the article running in Newsweek will state that your office wouldn't comment. Thanks, Jacob Albert Research Assitant for Wayne Barrett EFTA00205940
