Q. 
Okay. You don't remember?

the drawers that I recall massage lotion. They call it

a personal massage. 
10 
Q. 
And could you describe that?

them in Brookstone's. I saw them.

Mr. Epstein was out of town, right? 
2 
A. 
Right. 
3 
Q. 
And this would either be -- well, it would 
4 
be a situation where you were told that if somebody 
5 
comes over, some certain female comes over, then 
6 
just pay her, right? 
7 
A. 
Right. 
8 
Q. 
Would it be initiated by you in that, you 
9 
know, the person would come to the door, you're not 
10 
expecting them, you call 
and she says just pay 
11 
them? 
12 
A. 
No. 
13 
Q. 
You were always forewarned, hey, this 
14 
person is going to come over, pay them? 
15 
A. 
Right, right. 
16 
Q. 
Do you know whether it was they had a 
17 
scheduled appointment but Mr. Epstein wasn't in town 
18 
and he was saying just pay them anyway, or she had 
19 
performed a massage at some point in time, not been 
20 
paid and was back to receive her money, do you know 
21 
which one? 
22 
A. 
No. 
23 
Q. 
Okay. So, it could have been either 
24 
situation

Q. 
-- to the best of your knowledge? And 
2 
when you would pay these girls or 
would pay 
3 
them or whoever would pay them, would it always be 
4 
in cash? 
5 
A. 
Yeah. I pay them all with cash. 
6 
Q. 
You didn't write checks to them? 
7 
A. 
No, just cash. 
8 
Q. 
Ever wire any money to any of them? 
9 
A. 
No. 
10 
Q. 
Western Union or anything like that? 
11 
A. 
No. 
12 
Q. 
Did you ever withdraw money from the ATM, 
13 
was that one of your responsibilities that would 
14 
later be used to pay the girls? 
15 
A. 
No. 
16 
Q. 
Do you know who withdrew the money? 
17 
A. 
No. 
18 
Q. 
Do you know whose responsibility it was to 
19 
go to the ATM for Mr. Epstein to have cash on hand? 
20 
A. 
Yeah, part was my responsibility. I mean, not 
21 
to withdraw from the ATM. I went to the bank so we have 
22 
cash for spending, household cash. 
23 
Q. 
All right. 
24 
A. 
So, I always kept cash, you know, for myself, 
25

money, I go to the bank to withdraw some money and I 
2 
kept it with me. 
3 
Q. 
Okay. And you just give the receipt to 
4 
somebody so they know how much you took out? 
5 
A. 
Right. 
6 
Q. 
And typically what would you take out of 
7 
the bank in terms of cash to keep on hand? 
8 
A. 
About $2,000. 
9 
Q. 
All right. So, you would go to the bank. 
10 
Is $2,000 an amount that was told to you as an 
11 
appropriate amount to take out? 
12 
A. 
I mean, it was my decision how much money I 
13 
need. But most of the time I withdraw $2,000 and 
14 
whatever I spend, I go and draw another one. 
15 
Q. 
I understand that at some point in time 
16 
you realize that that was a decision that you could 
17 
make. But let's say the first time you go to the 
18 
bank, you don't just make the decision to take out 
19 
$2,000, do you? I mean, somebody gives you some 
20 
guidance? 
21 
A. 
No. 
22 
Q. 
Okay. They give you authority, they say 
23 
go to the bank and get out some money and you decide 
24 
on your own that $2,000 is an appropriate amount? 
25 
A. 
Yes.

Yes.

Do you know where Mr. Brunel generally 
6 
lives? I mean is it New York, is it --
7 
A. 
I know that he spends some time in Florida, in 
8 
Miami, but exactly where he is, I don't know. 
9 
Q. 
But obviously he wouldn't fly here to Palm 
10 
Beach from Miami, right, so he had to be coming from 
11 
somewhere else you would assume? 
12 
A. 
Yes, I assume. 
13 
Q. 
Were you told -- similar to the way that 
14 
you have been describing throughout the deposition, 
15 
you're told who is coming in town. Were you told he 
16 
was going to be at the house? 
17 
A. 
Yeah. Usually he requires to be picked up, so 
18 
I know that he is coming. 
19 
Q. 
Okay. We'll go through some other 
20 
instances where you had occasion to pick him up or 
21 
break plans, but talking specifically about last 
22 
week: When were you first told that Mr. Brunel was 
23 
going to be coming into town? 
24 
A. 
I think Igor told me that he has to go and 
25 
pick him up.

Q. 
How did he --
2 
A. 
It was my day off, I guess, because usually I 
3 
am the one who pick up people. So, I guess it was my 
4 
days off and Igor was working, so he went to pick him 
5 
6 
up.

picking 
7 
him up?
