Assistant United States Attorney 99 N.E. 4th Street Miami, FL 33132 We received notice this morning that Podhurst Orseck, P.A. has filed a civil complaint seeking over $2,000,000 in addition to the $526,000 they have already been paid by Jeffrey Epstein for their work as attorney representatives. As we communicated to you during our February 3, 2010 meeting and both before (January 20, 2010) and thereafter (February 18, 2010) by letter, see appended letters, there exists significant differences between fees that Mr. Epstein and his civil counsel believe are within his NPA obligations and additional amounts which the attorney representative is claiming are due. Mr. Epstein has in the past attempted to resolve issues relating to the outstanding invoices through efforts to review the particulars in the unpaid bills with the attorney representative, through settlement discussions with the attorney representative, and through his signing on February 16, 2010 a Special Masters Agreement which would allow a neutral third party to make a binding determination as to what portions of the invoices at issue were reasonable, non- 201 5.
