CAPTAIN DAVID SLEETH DECEMBER 11, 2008 PAGE 3 through 2/28/07).' These sworn filings show that Mr. Epstein worked for the Foundation for only one hour per week and earned no compensation. See page 6 of each return.) All of these returns were signed under penalty of perjury by either Mr. Epstein or Darren Indyke, who is listed in Mr. Epstein's work release file as Mr. Epstein's "supervisor." Mr. Epstein's representations concerning his prior work duties and salary may violate the salary and employment verification requirements of C.O.P. #926.01(11(C)(7) and (8). In response to your requirement of "a detailed work schedule," Mr. Indyke has provided the following two sentences: [Mr. Epstein's] duties will require him to work six days a week, Monday through Saturday, at the Foundation's office located at 250 S. Australian Avenue, Suite 1404, West Palm Beach, Florida from the hours of 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. As President of the Foundation, Mr. Epstein will be responsible for the general oversight and management of the Foundation, and particularly, to seek out, evaluate and determine worthy charitable causes to which the Foundation may make contributions. Mr. Indyke did not disclose that Mr. Epstein only worked one hour per week prior to his incarceration and has provided no explanation of why Mr. Epstein could perform these duties in one hour per week before he was incarcerated but now needs to spend 72 hours each week to do the same job. Again, this appears to be inconsistent with C.O.P. #926.01(I)(C)(7). Mr. Indyke has signed the "Alternative Custody Unit Program Agreement" as Mr. Epstein's "employer." In that Agreement, Mr. Indyke promises to "notify the Alternative 'The returns are available online at the following public websites: FY2006: http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2007/133/996/2007-133996471-0391c8db-F.pdf FY2005: http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2006/133/9962006-133996471-02c9625e-F.pdf FY2004: http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2005/133/996/2005-133996471-02056acf-F.pdf FY2003: http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2004/133/996/2004-133996471-1-F.pdf FY 2002: http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2003/133/996/2003-133996471-1-F.pdf FY2001: http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2002/133/996/2002-133996471-1-F.pdf FY2000: http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2001/133/996/2001-133996471-1-F.pdf FY1999: http://www.guidestatorg/FinDocuments/2000/133/996/2000-133996471-1 -F.pdf FY1998: http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/1999/133/996/1999-133996471-1-F.pdf EFTA00194095

CAPTAIN DAVID SLEEK DECEMBER 11, 2008 PAGE 2 paperwork, this violation is referred to simply as "prostitution." The charge is not a solicitation of prostitution charge, it is a procurement of a minor to engage in prostitution. Florida courts have defined the offense as "inducing a victim to engage in sexual activity" for money and "persuading, inducing, or prevailing upon a person to do something sexual" for financial gain. In other words, the statute addresses the recruiting of minors who have not previously been involved in prostitution to engage in sexual activity for commercial gain to a recruiter or "pimp"/"madame." The Florida Legislature has acknowledged the significant difference between solicitation under F.S.S. 796.07 and procurement of minors under F.S.S. 796.03 by requiring persons convicted of violating F.S.S. 796.03 to register as sex offenders. The distinction may be meaningful to the victims of Mr. Epstein's offenses, who could feel that they are being stigmatized as "prostitutes." Inaccuracies and Omission in Work Release Application and Related Documents Throughout the records related to Mr. Epstein's work release placement, he is alternatively referred to as working for "The Florida Science Foundation" or "self- employed," and Mr. Epstein lists his salary as $250,000. Mr. Epstein describes himself as "returning to work" and "eligible for re-employment" at The Florida Science Foundation. Please be advised that the only W-2 that Mr. Epstein provided is from Financial Trust Company, Inc., which shows that Mr. Epstein was employed in the U.S. Virgin Islands at a salary of $180,785.62, not $250,000. Mr. Epstein provided to you no documentation regarding his pre-incarceration employment with "The Florida Science Foundation" or its corporate alter-ego, "The C.O.U.Q. Foundation, Inc." As you will see, the Foundation, its offices, and Mr. Epstein's purported job schedule were all created on the eve of Mr. Epstein's incarceration in order to provide him with a basis for seeking work release. The Florida Science Foundation was not registered with the State of Florida and had no office space or telephone number until after Mr. Epstein was already incarcerated. The application filed with the State of Florida and signed under penalty of perjury by Richard Kahn lists Mr. Kahn's and the Foundation's telephone number as "561-659-8300." That is the telephone number ofAtterbury, Goldberger and Weiss—one of the law firms representing Mr. Epstein. Richard Kahn is a partner at the law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell in New York and has no association with the Atterbury firm. Checking public records available on the internet, I located the IRS returns of "The C.O.U.Q. Foundation, Inc." for fiscal years 1999 through 2006 (which covers the period EFTA00194097

Re:
Work Release Application of Jeffrey Epstein
Dear Captain Sleeth:
The U.S. Attorney's Office recently learned that Inmate Jeffrey Epstein applied for
and was approved for participation in the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office's ("PBSO") work
release program. Through a request for public records, I have received a copy of Mr.
Epstein's work release file. After doing some internet research of public records and making
a few telephone calls, I discovered some inaccuracies and omissions in Mr. Epstein's file that
I wanted to bring to your attention. During a recent meeting, Roy Black, one of Mr.
Epstein's attorneys, invited us to share our concerns with PBSO.
eligibility for Participation
I understand that Mr. Epstein would be ineligible for participation in the work release
program if he committed three violations of F.S.S. 796 within the past five years. Mr.
Epstein has been charged with and convicted of a felony violation of F.S.S. 796.07. In order
to be convicted of a felony violation of that statute, one must commit "a third or subsequent
violation." In other words, Mr. Epstein has committed at least three violations of Section
796.07, and in his "Alternative Custody Program Placement Synopsis," Mr. Epstein's charges
are described as "Recommit: Prostitution."
In addition to those three violations, Mr. Epstein also has been convicted of violating
F.S.S. 796.03, procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution. Throughout his

Hi guys — ES and I are having a little "Holiday Happy Hour" at our place tomorrow night. A few people from the office, a few agents, a few stragglers, etc. Any chance you are in the mood for a drive? I promise very festive drinks and yummy food. And we have room for people to crash if you don't want to drive. Our place is NOT along the chauffeur-driven route of Mr. Epstein, so there is no chance for confrontation. On a serious note, should I send a copy of my letter to Mr. Black? A.

Epstein's case has always been in division W which is McSorley and McSorley's order says all division W cases for work release are in the discretion of the sheriff.
