HOUSE OVERSIGHT 023229 Subject: Fwd: To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, Mark was here this morning , the proposed transactions are extremely complex. and would take a great deal of detailed time. I do not know how, and if ,to move forward - our last transaction. a transaction which you saved 600 million in tax. even if as you say it could be 20 years away, ( i hope longer) discounted to today is a savings of 300 million . for some reason you chose to ignore our agreements, verbal written and emailed -and decided that it was only worth 8 million dollars to you. .

I have reiterated the same message for over a year now. . Brad , not me ,was tasked with hiring new people, according to his biz
