You actually went to see him while he was an inmate in jail? A. Right, yes. Q• Okay.

CRITTON: Form. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. That's the criminal investigation you're talking about, right? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I don't know the full definition of really what happened there.

Were you aware that the allegations revolved around underage girls or girls under the age of 18? MR. CRITTON: Form.

Were you ever questioned by the police? A. I don't know who questioned me, actually. I did have a questioning session, but I don't even remember who questioned me. Q. Where did that take place? A. I don't remember. Q. At your house? A. No. I'm thinking it was Jack Goldberger's office, or it may have been downtown at the Palm Beach County Courthouse or something in that area there. Q. Okay. So it either happened at an attorney's office that represented -- A. Exactly, yeah, I think so. Q. -- Jeffrey Epstein or the other side? A. Yeah. Q. And during that questioning, is that when you turned over the passenger manifest from prior to 2005? A. Yes. Q. And you turned those manifests directly over to Jack Goldberger? A. Yes. Actually, I believe Dave Rogers did that. I wasn't in possession of those records. 3527-003 Page 102 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009777 EFTA00159584

And for the passenger manifest prior to 2005, how far do those passenger manifests go back in time? A. They should go back, I guess, to 1991 or whenever we started existence. Q. And did you turn them over from 1991 all the way through to 2005? A. I don't know. I didn't turn them in. Dave Rogers did. Q. Are you in possession of a copy of any of those materials? A. No. Q. I thought that, you know, ten minutes ago when we were talking about this you said you had them back at an office or -- A. That was the office, the airplane office, which I've given to Bruce, which is the current log. He is in possession of them now. I had possession of them. Q. Okay. What he's in possession of -- just so I know what documents are where, he's in possession of the passenger manifests from 2005 through the present? A. Correct. Q. If I want to obtain the passenger manifests from 1998 through 2005, that's something that I would request from whom? THE WITNESS: Help me out.

You started out by indicating that you sent these passenger manifests, or a copy thereof, to Darren Indyke or someone at NES, LLC; is that correct? A. Correct. Q. If I requested them from NES, LLC, that's somebody at some point in time was in possession of all the passenger manifests? A. Sure. Q. And NES, LLC's address is the one you gave me at A. I believe so. I don't know what address they're using for that. I know that -- Q. But Darren Indyke's the attorney that I would call -- A. Yes, sir.
