1 just got off the phone with the prosecutors from the Bear Steams case in New York. 
They had seen the NY Post article that claimed that Epstein got such a low sentence because he was cooperating 
with the feds on the Bear Steams prosecution. They had never heard of him. I just told them a bit about how 
things worked out and my theory on how that rumor got started.

We're the prosecutors in US v Cioffi & Tannin (the Bear Stearns case) which is going to trial on October 13. We saw the 
below article from the New York Post and wanted to ask you about this defendant, Epstein, who we had never heard of 
until this morning. We've since learned that he is pretty unsavory. 
Please give us a call when you have a moment. Thanks.

JEFFREY Epstein is a free man. Yesterday, the massage-loving billionaire financier was released six 
months early from his 18-month prison sentence in Florida because he's cooperating with federal 
prosecutors. 
Epstein, who pleaded guilty to procuring teenage girls for prostitution, is helping the feds prosecute 
Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin, the Bear Stearns hedge fund managers who allegedly took him for 
$67 million. Cioffi and Tannin are set to go on trial in Brooklyn federal court on Sept. 28 on charges of 
misleading investors in their subprime mortgage investment fund, which went bust last year. 
Epstein was given work release from his dorm at the Palm Beach County sheriff's 17-acre, 967-bed 
stockade. "He's been visiting the offices of his lawyer, Jack Goldberger,12 hours a day, six days a 
week," said one source. "He was supposedly working on his personal charity, but he was really 
working with the feds." 
Epstein, 56, who used to hobnob with the likes of Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, has a mansion in 
Palm Beach, a ranch in Santa Fe, the largest private house in Manhattan and his own private island in 
the Bahamas he calls "St. Jeffs." 
Investigative reporter John Connolly told Page Six that Epstein was so happy with Goldberger, who 
negotiated his plea deal, he gave the lawyer a brand-new black BMW. 
A friend of Epstein told Page Six, "If Jeffrey is helping the government, the IQ of the government just 
went up." As Epstein prepared to sleep in his own bed, the friend said, "This is a difficult time for him. 
He's looking for a new beginning." 
But he still has his old friends. Jail records indicate he was visited more than 67 times by model Nadia 
Marcinkova, the "assistant" who police say wrangled teen masseuses for Epstein and joined in the 
sordid sex play.
