It shows massive auction proceeds flowing into Epstein-controlled accounts in a single calendar year: Date Payer Recipient Amount ------ ------- ----------- -------- 6/19/2017 Christie's Inc The Haze Trust Checking $7,725,000 9/25/2017 Sotheby's The Haze Trust Checking $11,536,544 10/24/2017 Sotheby's The Haze Trust Checking $11,249,417 TOTAL $30,510,961 The Haze Trust subsequently moved these funds through a network of accounts: 3/10/2017: $36M from Haze Trust Brokerage to Checking, then $35.999M to DBAGNY 3/27/2017: $15M from Haze Trust DBAGNY to Plan D, LLC Checking 9/26/2017: $15M from Haze Trust Checking to DBAGNY 10/26/2017: $13M from Haze Trust Checking to DBAGNY Subsequent large transfers to Southern Financial LLC totaling tens of millions (2018-2019) What sold: The specific artworks generating these proceeds have not been identified in the document corpus. Given the dollar amounts ($7.7M at Christie's, two payments of $11.2M and $11.5M at Sotheby's), these were major auction consignments — likely Old Masters, Impressionists, or Modern works. --- Leon Black's $2.7 Billion Art Collection This is the single most significant art-world connection to Epstein. The DOJ files reveal Epstein was the central figure managing Leon Black's art investment machine from 2012-2017. The Apollo Conflicts Committee / Dechert LLP Report EFTA02730996 — The report states Epstein advised Black on "myriad esoteric issues" including: (i) managing Black's artwork, (ii) advising on issues relating to Black's yacht, and (iii) advising on issues relating to Black's airplane Section titled "Managing Black's Artwork": "Family Office witnesses generally agreed that Epstein advised Black in a few areas related to Black's artwork, including: (i) the formation of a new art partnership, (ii) the contested ownership of a Picasso sculpture, (iii) Black's art loans, (iv) like-kind exchanges, and (v) obtaining a potential advisory opinion from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance regarding a contemplated transaction involving Black's art." "Although Family Office employees generally agreed that Epstein was not an expert in art management or art law, witnesses also opined that he was helpful in the formation of the art partnership and was fairly involved in assisting Black in connection with the sale of certain pieces of artwork." Senate Finance Committee (Sen. Ron Wyden) — Interrogatories EFTA02731023 — Senator Wyden's letters to Leon Black include: "In a briefing with the Committee on August 1, 2022, your outside counsel indicated that Epstein provided substantial advice related to your private art collection, which is worth over $1 billion. This advice reportedly included helping you form a new art partnership as well as assistance in connection with the sale of certain pieces of artwork." Sub-questions demanded: (a) Purpose of the new art partnership and Epstein's role (b) Details on art loans involving Epstein (c) List of like-kind exchange transactions for pieces valued over $1 million, with tax benefits obtained (d) List of art sales valued at over $1 million Epstein assisted with From the same document: "Committee staff submitted a second set of questions regarding Epstein's compensation scheme. These questions also inquired about advice Epstein provided in relation to your private art collection, which your outside counsel confirmed in a briefing has a value of more than $1 billion. Again, you refused to provide answers to those questions." Key Facts Collection size: 935 artworks valued at $2.7 billion (2016 Christie's appraisal) Payments: Black paid Epstein $158 million for "tax and estate planning services" between 2012-2017 Senate investigation: Evidence indicates actual payments were "significantly higher than previously known" and money "was used to finance Epstein's sex trafficking operations" Settlement: Leon Black agreed to pay $62.5 million to settle USVI Epstein-related claims Leon Black Art Gallery for a Woman EFTA02731697 — Email from Jeanne M. Christensen (Partner, Wigdor LLP) dated June 7, 2021: "I made some progress on one of the women that allegedly had a relationship with Leon Black for whom he helped start an art gallery (at least he told my client that he had done so)" Entity details: 237 Lafayette Street #6E, New York, NY 10012.

"My father did mention in passing the presence of young girls with Jeffrey Epstein and had he not sadly died I expect my father would have reported his concerns to the relevant authorities." This establishes that Epstein employed professional art historians to source and dispose of art, owed substantial fees, and that an art consultant personally witnessed abuse-adjacent behavior. --- Stuart Pivar Co-founded NYAA with Andy Warhol in 1982; served as Warhol's art buyer Self-described as Epstein's "best pal for decades" Noted Epstein had a "preference for owning fake paintings" Friendship ended 1996, when Maria Farmer informed Pivar about her abuse Sources: Artnet --- Eileen Guggenheim Redaction Database EFTA Number Context ------------- --------- EFTA01652757 Named Epstein associate (alongside Trump, Andrew, Dershowitz, Wexner, Dubins, Branson, Maxwells) EFTA01652995 Same list EFTA01653060 Same list Dean of Students at NYAA when Farmer introduced to Epstein; later Board Chair Urged Farmer to sell Epstein/Maxwell a painting at half price Organized "boundary testing" dinner at Zorro Ranch with Epstein and Maxwell Online petition called for removal as Board Chair Several female board members resigned August 2020 NYAA issued "profound apology" to Farmer --- Gagosian 414 mentions of Gagosian in released DOJ documents 119 mentions of Larry Gagosian specifically Epstein claimed no personal relationship: "no, why?" when asked "Are you buddies with Larry Gagosian?"

Unresolved Questions Who is Epstein's unnamed "art guy"? The advisor who assessed the Salvator Mundi as "only worth 1.5m." Full 2017 auction consignments: What specific works generated the $30.5M at Sotheby's and Christie's? The dollar amounts suggest major works. Prytanee LLC investments: What specific art was purchased through this vehicle? Only $197K remains on balance sheet despite $1.4M reportedly deposited. Art on the island: Is there a complete inventory from Little Saint James in the files? Art insurance policy details: What was the total insured value? Which specific works were covered? Additional art-holding LLCs: Beyond Narrows/AP Narrows/Narrows II/Friends Ventures, were there others? $139M Cezanne/Picasso 1031 exchanges: What were the specific capital gains deferred? Free port storage: Did Epstein or entities he controlled use art free ports? Origin of townhouse art: Which pieces were Wexner's originally vs. Epstein additions? "Brinsley and Julie": Who are these painting donors/sellers? "Brinsley" is distinctive. Complete art appraisal: The estate "Fine Arts" line was never publicly valued. Has an internal appraisal ever been disclosed? Rothko painting provenance: What is the specific Rothko in EFTA01786553? Is it connected to the $46M Rothko exchanged for Black's Picasso, or a separate work? "Hangar Painting": Referenced three times — what is this work and where was the hangar? Acquavella Gallery: Web sources suggest possible transactions but no documentary evidence found. Ocean's Bridge reproduction: What famous painting was reproduced? EFTA01779110 has "photos of your painting" but the original is unidentified. --- --- FULL CORPUS REVISIT INTEGRATION (2026-02-12) The following findings were identified through revisit against the full text corpus (1,380,937 docs, 2,731,796 pages, all 12 datasets) and represent corrections or expansions to the original report. Collection Value Upgrade The original report estimated the collection in hundreds of millions based on partial documentation. The full corpus reveals the collection was insured for $1.6 billion via a 16-layer fine arts insurance tower (EFTA00607435), with documented appraised values exceeding $1 billion across all entities. Named insureds include Leon D. Black, Debra R. Black, Pent Holdings, Narrows Holdings LLC, Narrows Holdings II LLC, Black Family 1997 Trust, Black 2006 Family Trust, and LDB 2011 LLC. Annual premiums totaled $724,250. Complete Art Inventories Discovered At least 5 separate comprehensive inventories are now documented: EFTA00592228 (ALL ART 3/19/17, Christie's 5/11/16 values), EFTA00592858 (ALL ART WITH BASIS 7/15/16), EFTA00592899 (APO-01 at Christie's values: $396M), EFTA00593106 (APO-01 Art to AP Narrows: $183M), and EFTA01084294 (Sotheby's 2013/2014 comparison with Munch at $135M). Top 10 Artworks by Value Per EFTA01084294: Munch "Stream" (The Scream) -- $135M (Narrows II) Turner "Seascape Folkestone" -- $80M (Pent Holdings) Cezanne "Le Marin" -- $55M (Narrows) Matisse "Nu de Dos" -- $50M (Black 2008 Family Trust) Raphael "Head of a Young Apostle" -- $50M (Narrows) Raphael "Head of a Muse" -- $48M (Narrows) Kirchner "Berliner Strassenszene" -- $45M (Narrows, 50% interest) Monet "Nympheas" -- $45M (Narrows) Beckmann "Selbstbildnis mit Horn" -- $42.5M (Narrows, 50% interest) Picasso "Portrait de Mateu Fernandez de Soto" -- $37.5M (B Fam 1997 Trust) 2016 Purchases ($286.6M) EFTA00792629 documents total 2016 art purchases of $286,605,000 with Christie's 2017 appraised value of $242,284,000 (unrealized loss of $44,031,000).

BV70 LLC (181 documents -- new finding) BV70 LLC is an Epstein-controlled entity managed by Elysium Management at 445 Park Avenue. EFTA00583120: Epstein personally guaranteed BV70 obligations. EFTA00585854: $8M promissory note from Plan D LLC to BV70 at 1.11% interest. EFTA00587879: BV70 donated $10M to Gratitude America Ltd.

Epstein's Direct Advisory Role -- Additional Evidence EFTA01042767: Epstein email from Paris (07/07/2017): "im in paris. use your judgement, it could be a rodin or a brancusi. it should be an outdoor piece, i think that i can use inside 15-20 fot high?" -- personally selecting monumental sculptures for the collection. Kirchner Clarification 166 documents mention Kirchner. Many hits in the EFTA00261xxx series are false positives from unrelated Australian complaint documents mentioning a "Roger Kirchner." Core Kirchner art holdings confirmed: "Berliner Strassenszene" (Narrows, 50% interest, $45M), "Stehender Madchenakt" (AP Narrows), and "Steigendes Pferd mit Reiter" (LDB, purchased 3/31/2016 for $150K). Christine Gibbons Correction 3 documents. EFTA01785536: Gibbons was a real estate broker at Sotheby's International Realty for the "El Brillo" property in Palm Beach, not an art contact. Minimal art relevance. Negative Findings The following individuals referenced in web sources returned zero results in the full corpus: Hela Fox, Tom Otterness, Jorge Alvarez. John F.
