Details: 
In October 2009, Miami Division opened an obstruction 
of justice case against 
was the 
previous house manager and butler to Palm Beach County resident 
JEFFREY EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN was the subject of a child prostitution, 
31E matter, worked by Miami Division beginning in 2006. 
Investigation of EPSTEIN revealed that he brought underage girls 
to his home to perform massages and paid them to engage in sex 
acts with himself and one another. The U.S. Attorney's Office 
entered into a non-prosecution agreement with EPSTEIN where 
EPSTEIN pled guilty tO state offenses in Florida state court. 
EPSTEIN was sentenced to a period of state prison followed by 
community supervision as a registered sex offender. EPSTEIN 
completed his community supervision in July 2010. 
EPSTEIN's victims filed suit against EPSTEIN in state 
and federal court seeking damages in civil litigation. During the 
discovery process, 
was deposed by attorney 
who represented several of the victims. After his 
deposition, 
contacted 
and advised that he had 
lists of additional victims that he had not previously disclosed to law 
enforcement during the criminal investigation or after 
being served with a subpoena in the civil case. 
advised 
he would not turn the information over to the attorney but 
instead wanted monetary compensation. In November 2009, 
attempted to sell the information to a UCE for $50,000.00, which 
resulted in the above captioned case. 
Information was recently provided to FBI Miami that 
MICHAEL and 
previously worked for EPSTEIN as 
housekeepers or property managers at one of his properties and 
may have witnessed EPSTEIN's interaction with underage girls and 
criminal conduct. It is unclear at which property MICHAEL and 
worked. EPSTEIN maintained homes and residences 
in New York, New York, Palm Beach, Florida, the U.S. Virgin 
Islands, New Mexico, London, England, and Paris, France. 
It is requested that Los Angeles Division interview
