DARREN K. INDYKE Darren K. Indyke, PLLC 575 Lexington Avenue, ilth Floor New York, New York 10022 Telephone: Telecopier: email: January 10, 2014 VIA FACSIMILE ( 1.1.) AND CERTIFIED MAIL. RETURN RECEIPT REOUESTED Alan P. Fraade, Esq. Mintz & Fraade, P.C. 488 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10022 Re: Steven Jude Hoffenberg Dear Mr. Fraade: I represent Mr. Jeffrey Epstein. It has come to my attention that your client, Steven Jude Hoffenberg, has been attempting to gain access to the premises at 9 East 7 is' Street, New York, New York in an unsolicited attempt to confront Mr. Epstein. In the past week alone, Mr. Hoffenberg approached the premises on at least two occasions. On the first occasion, on January 7, 2014 at approximately 8:15PM, Mr. Hoffenberg, accompanied by a large-built unidentified male, rang the doorbell at the premises falsely claiming to be an associate of Mr. Epstein and requesting entry. He became agitated and vocal when he could not gain entry. After continuing to watch the premises from his vehicle for a period of time, he ultimately left. Last night, January 9, 2014, shortly before 9 PM, Mr. Hoffenberg again attempted to gain entry to the premises, this time carrying a suspicious package with him that he sought unsuccessfully to slip under the entry door. As Mr. Hoffenberg's counsel, I am sure you are well aware that Mr. Hoffenberg is a convicted felon, as is Mr. Epstein. I understand that Mr. Hoffenberg remains on supervised release and presume that, consistent with the "standard" conditions set forth in Section 5B1.3(c)(9) of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, his efforts to communicate with another convicted felon are a serious violation of the conditions of his supervised release.
