Dear Madam, 
As the AUSA assigned to the prosecution of Jeffrey 
E. Epstein, you should be aware of the contents of the 
enclosed documents. They were previously sent to Mr. 
Geoffrey 
S. Berman, the 
FBI 
and many other 
Congressional authorities. They speak for themselves.

RE: JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN 
Dear Sir/Madam, 
Congratulations on the indictment of Jeffrey E. Epstein! 
His prosecution will definitely open a Pandora's Box which will 
surely include Mr. Guy Alan Lewis, ESQ., who orchestrated Mr. 
Epstein's "sweetheart deal" many years ago. His name is hardly 
ever mentioned in the media but an often-used stock photo 
shows him escorting Mr. Epstein and seated with him in court. 
This is my complaint against Mr. Lewis when he served as the 
First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. 
Mr. Guy Alan Lewis is personally responsible for my wrongful 
conviction and more than 24 years of wrongful imprisonment. 
I am both actually and legally innocent but was framed by 
the DEA. Details of my more than 289-month-long ordeal can 
be seen on PACER.gov at www.flsd.uscourts.gov, 
and www.call.uscourts.gov, Case No.: 
tionally, my FOIA cases are published at

In summary, two different persons were 
erroneously assigned the exact same NADDIS number: 
former Senior Radar 
ontroller/Supervisor from Nassau, Bahamas. (See 
Exhibit A.) The other person is 
rom Belleville, 
Illinois, a member of The Wolf Pack, a family of drug dealers. 
(See Exhibit B.) Rather than admit this obvious internal DEA 
bureaucratic error, Guy Alan Lewis personally engineered my 
malicious prosecution and wrongful conviction. 
Now that Mr. Epstein is in your crosshairs, I am certain 
that he will cooperate and divulge the secrets of how he was 
able to elude justice for the past two decades. I am also very 
confident that he will disclose that Guy Alan Lewis, and others, 
were very handsomely paid to make it happen, just like he 
fabricated a case against me and needlessly destroyed my life. 
I trust that you will ensure that this matter is brought to 
the attention of the appropriate authorities. Please be advised 
that this complaint will also be widely distributed to the media. 
Sincerely 
McRae Correctional Facility

The series v 
king — whether Epstein pimped them out to others or not. 
It's still a commercial sex act — and he could have been jailed for the rest 
of his life under federal law," she said. 
It would be easy to dismiss the Epstein case as another example of how 
there are two systems of justice in America, one for the rich and one for the 
poor. But a thorough analysis of the case tells a far more troubling story. 
A close look at the trove of letters and emails contained in court records 
provides a window into the plea negotiations, revealing an unusual level of 
collaboration between federal prosecutors and Epstein's legal team that 
even government lawyers, in recent court documents, admitted was 
unorthodox. 
Acosta, in 2011, would explain that he was unduly pressured by Epstein's 
heavy-hitting lawyers — Lefkowitz, Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, Jack 
Goldberger, Roy Black, former U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis, Gerald Lefcourt, 
and Kenneth Starr, the former Whitewater special prosecutor who 
investigated Bill Clinton's sexual liaisons with Monica Lewinsky. 
`AVOID THE PRESS' PLAN 
That included keeping the deal from Epstein's victims, emails show. 
"Thank you for the commitment you made to me during our Oct. 12 
meeting," Lefkowitz wrote in a letter to Acosta after their breakfast meeting 
in West Palm Beach. He added that he was hopeful that Acosta would abide 
by a promise to keep the deal confidential. 
"You ... assured me that your office would not ... contact any of the 
identified individuals, potential witnesses or potential civil claimants and 
the respective counsel in this matter," Lefkowitz wrote.

Why Judge Denied a Financier His `Gilded Cage' 
.1ULV QC, aO19 
By BENJAMIN WEISER 
A federal judge on Thursday denied 
Jeffrey Epstein's request for bail pend-
ing his trial on sex-traf licking charges in 
Manhattan. As a result, Mr. Epstein, 66, 
a wealthy financier who owns a private 
jet, luxury homes around the world and 
a private island in the Caribbean, will 
have to spend months In a Manhattan 
jail that typically holds accused mob-
sters, drug dealers and terrorists. 
Thejudge, Richard M. Berman of Fed-
eral District Court, agreed with prosecu-
tors that Mr. Epstein was not only a 
flight risk,but posed a threat to others--
particularly teenage girls — if released. 
The judge's strong rebuke of Mr. Ep-
steiirsconduct and request tobeallowed 
house arrest stood in sharp contrast to 
how the authorities in Florida had 
treated the financier in 2007. 
That year, he reached a widely criti-
cized deal that let him avoid federal 
prosecution on charges he sexually 
abused and trafficked minors. Instead, 
he pleaded guilty to state charges of so-
liciting a minor for prostitution and 
ended up serving 13 months in Jail. He 
was allowed to leave the facility six a 
days a week, ostensibly to work. 
Here are five takeaways from Judge 
Berman's opinion. 
Bottomless Checkbook 
Unlike so many people charged In 
state and federal courts, affording bail 
was not a problem for Mr. Epstein. He 
had offered to post a gargantuan bond, 
secured by his S56 million mansion on 
East 71st Street in Manhattan and his 
private jet. 
'I am authorized to say to the court," 
one of Mr. Epstein's lawyers told Judge 
Berman, "that whatever bond you want 
Mr. Epstein to sign — whether it's S100 
million or an amount close totheamount 
of the assets that we have provided —
Mr. Epstein Is prepared to sign it7 
Mr. Epstein provided the court with a 
one-page summary of his assets that 
placed their value as of June 30 at $559 
million. 
His lawyers said he would even pay 
for 24-hour private security to assure 
that he did not flee. The government ar-
gued he was seeking special treatment, 
a "gilded cage: as one prosecutor put it 
in court. 
A Threat to Girls 
Judge Berman's decision portrayed 
Mr. Epstein as sex offender who could 
not be trusted to curb his sexual fixation 
with teenagers. He pointed to the nature 
of Mr. Epstein's alleged crimes and his 
propensity to commit them. 
"The crimes Mr. Epstein has been 
charged with are among the most 
heinous in the law principally, in the 
court's view, because they involve minor 
girls," the judge wrote. 
A federal indictment charged that be-
tween 2002 and 2005, Mr. Epstein and 
his employees paid dozens of underage 
girls — at least one as young as 14 years 
old — to give him massages while nude 
or topless at his residences in Manhat-
tan and Palm Beach, Fla. 
During the massages, he engaged in 
various sex acts with them, the indict-
ment said. Ile also used some of the teen-
agers to recruit other girls to abuse, pay-
ing the "victim-recruiters" hundreds of 
dollars for each girl they brought to him, 
the indictment said. 
"Mr. Epstein's alleged excessive at-
traction to sexual conduct with or in the 
presence of minor girls — which is said 
to include his soliciting and receiving 
-massages from young girls and young 
women perhaps as many as four times a 
day — appears likely to be uncontrolla-
ble," Judge Berman wrote. 
It seems fair to say that Mr. Epstein's 
future behavior will be consistent with 
past behavior, the judge added. 
Flight Risk 
Given Mr. Epstein's wealth, the risk of 
flight was "exceptionally high, the of-
fice of Geoffrey S. Berman, the United 
States attorney in Manhattan, told the 
judge in court papers. 
Besides his New York mansion, Mr. 
Epstein's asset summary listed multi-
million-dollar properties in New Mexico, 
Palm Beach, Paris and the Caribbean. 
Prosecutors have said Mr. Epstein's pri-
mary residence is a private island in the 
United States Virgin Islands. 
Mc. Epstein's assets also included $56 
million in cash and more than $300 mil-
lion in securities and other financial in-
struments. Prosecutors also said his sex 
registration documentation (stemming 
from his 2008 guilty plea in Florida) 
listed no fewer than 15 motor vehicles, 
including seven Chevrolet Suburbans, a 
cargo van, a Range Rover, a Mercedes-
Benz sedan, a Cadillac Escalade and a 
Hummer. 
Then there was a safe that the authori-
ties said they searched in Mr. Epstein's 
mansion in Manhattan, in which they 
found more than $70,000 in cash, 48 
loose diamonds ranging in size from ap-
proximately one to 2.38 carats, and a 
large diamond ring. 
The judge concluded that Mr. Epstein 
was 'a serious risk of flight" and "no con-
ditions can be set that will reasonably 
assure his appearance at trial." 
Troubling Safe Contents 
Inside that safe, the authorities also 
found an Austrian passport bearing Mr. 
Epstein's photograph but another per-
son's name, the judge noted. The judge's 
opinion made it clear that prosecutors 
and Mr. Epstein's lawyers disagreed 
sharply over the passport's significance. 
Prosecutors said the passport showed 
Mr. Epstein knew how to obtain false 
travel documents or assume other Iden-
tities. 
Defense lawyers told the judge that 
Mr. Epstein, whom they described as 
"an affluent member of the Jewish faith," 
acquired the passport in the 1980s 
"when hijackings were prevalent," in 
connection with Middle East travel. The 
passport expired 32 years ago, the de-
fense wrote, and "was for personal pro-
tection in the event of travel to danger-
ous areas, only to be presented to poten-
tial kidnappers, hijackers or terrorists 
should violent episodes occur." 
In the back and forth, prosecutors 
noted that the passport included numer-
ous stamps showing it was used to enter 
France, Spain, Britain and Saudi Arabia 
in the 1980s. The defense said Mr. Ep-
stein was given the passport by a friend, 
the trips were not his and he had never 
used it.. 
The passport was not the only unusual 
item found inside Mc Epstein's mansion. 
The authorities said they found hun-
dreds and perhaps thousands of sexu-
ally suggestive photographs of fully or 
partially nude females, including photos 
that appeared to be of underage girls. 
Some of the photos were discovered In 
the locked safe. 
Protecting Witnesses 
Judge Berman also made it clear he 
thought Mr. Epstein might seek to si-
lence witnesses against him if he were 
granted pretrial release. "Mr. Epstein's 
dangerousness is considerable and in-
cludes sex crimes with minor girls and 
tampering with potential witnesses," the 
judge wrote. 
The judge highlighted the govern-
ment's argument that Mr. Epstein had 
tried to influence possible witnesses 
against him when he wired $350,000late 
last year to two people close to him, 
shortly alter The Miami Herald started 
publishing an expose about him. The 
Herald's series quoted his accusers, de-
scribed how he had sexually abused 
teens for years, and laid out the lenient 
plea agreement he had negotiated with 
the United States attorney In Miami. 
The judge also cited evidence from 
prosecutors that Mr. Epstein or his rep-
resentatives had harassed or intimi-
dated witnesses in civil suits. 
For instance, he quoted a Palm Beach 
police report in 2006 about a threat made 
to one of Mr. Epstein's accusers. The re-
port said the accuser had claimed that 
one of Mr. Epstein's associates had told 
her that those who helped Mr. Epstein 
"will be compensated" and those who 
hurt him "will be dealt with." In another 
case, a parent of one of Mr. Epstein's al-
leged victims had reported that Mr. Ep-
stein's private investigator had driven 
the parent's car off the road. 
"A court may order detention if there 
is a serious risk that the defendant will 
attempt to threaten, injure or intimidate 
a prospective witnessorjuror," thejudge 
noted.

THE CASE 
In 1991 
citizen and resident of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, 
volunteers 
o ecome a con 
en is informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration in NasSau, Bahamas. 
I was a Senior Radar Controller at the Nassau International Airport. I was instrumental in the seizures of 
several large shipments of drugs, for which I was paid by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration). 
I soon became acquainted with the owners and operators of a seafood company in South Florida, two 
brothers, one of whom was a drug-trafficker. As a confidential informant, I sought to but was never able to 
cause a seizure with his organization, which I was to later learn was a tightly knitted family enterprise. When I 
eventually learnt that he and several family members had gotten arrested, my efforts came to a stand-still. I 
then told Agent Shelton that I did not know of any other drug traffickers and I dedicated my free time to 
solely searching for venture capital. I eventually secured U53$ MILLION from "Bancor of Asia/Asian Bancor", 
in Manila, the Philippines, for "Daybreak Enterprises", my start-up, commercial crawfishing business. 
• 
In 1995, I was suddenly arrested by agents of the DEA and FBI in Florida, as I visited with my girlfriend, son 
and niece. I was shocked beyond belief! To my amazement, I had been indicted along with eighteen others, in 
a conspiracy that imported 908 kilograms of cocaine into Fort Lauderdale via Belize! Unbelievable! 
During twenty months awaiting trial, I repeatedly rejected "plea bargains" that began at 30 years, then 12 
years, then 6 years, finally to a proposed dismissal of the indictment if I pled guilty to using a telephone 
Illegally, which carried a maximum of 48 months.

I alone went to trial, was convicted and sentenced to 30 years! Everyone else pleaded guilty and received 
lesser sentences. I vigorously professed my innocence then and continuously throughout the next ten years, 
to now. How could I possibly be charged and convicted for something I knew absolutely nothing about? I was 
a confidential informant for the DEA! A terrible mistake must have been made! 
My "trial" was a complete "rail-road"! The leader of the conspiracy (the drug-trafficker at the seafood 
company) "testified" (in order to reduce his 30-year sentence and free his wife) that I was his partner from 
1987! No matter that when he was arrested, his statements, comprising 33 names, made no mention of me 
whatsoever! His brother, who was only charged with money-laundering, gave statements which made no 
mention of any drug-trafficking activities on my behalf. A DEA Special Agent "testified" that I was given 
instructions which I vigorously denied, whereupon the government magically produced a document, allegedly 
signed by me, that I had never seen in my life, nor since "trial"! 
My defense was known as "entrapment by estoppel, innocent intent or public authority". Simply put, as a 
confidential informant, I was authorized to engage in activities which would otherwise be criminal; exactly 
what I had always done! 
To my surprise, I learnt at trial that I had allegedly been "deactivated" but not informed - a gross violation of 
the Department of Justice's own "Guidelines Regarding the Use of Confidential Informants-. 
To add insult to injury, in 2002, five years after my "trial", I learnt for the first time that the government had 
supressed information which further exonerated  me I had berm  reviously cleared by a joint U.S./Bahamian 
investigation; I had been misidentified with one I 
f Belleville, Illinois, and the mysterious 
document that had been used against me at "trio' , bUUUCIIIy URI not exist! How convenient! 
Despite these very detailed showings of both my actual and legal innocence and the fraud that was 
perpetrated upon me and the court, I remain imprisoned; each and every court that has reviewed my claims 
has denied me relief, ignoring their own laws, the facts and the truth! 
Since 1999, I have been representing myself. I need an attorney to add credibility and supplement 
my pleadings.
