What a document says he isA Trustee of the Jeffrey E. Epstein 2013 Trust and of the 2014 Trust, and an Executor named in the 2014 will, in each case beside Darren K. Indyke and James E. Staley; “Mitchell Holdings LLC” over a Manhattan business address in his own signature block37

How he appears in the fileAs a party to correspondence throughout the decade before the arrest, as a sender, a recipient and an entry in other people’s day sheets, and as a named fiduciary in the estate instruments. His messages close with a signature block, and that block reproduces in every message that quotes him, in every forward of such a message and in every duplicate scan of both, so the frequency of his name in the release is not a measure of anything he wrote7

David J. Mitchell, a New York property developer trading as Mitchell Holdings LLC, is named in the instruments that would have governed Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. He is one of three Trustees of the Jeffrey E. Epstein 2013 Trust and of the 2014 Trust, and one of three Executors named in the will Epstein executed on 18 November 2014, in each case beside Epstein’s own attorney and a serving bank executive. He is also, through the decade before the arrest, the man running Epstein’s New York property book: a hotel on West 31st Street, a townhouse conversion on East 82nd Street, a floor-area study of Epstein’s own house on East 71st Street, and a rolling account of loans, deposits and lender negotiations reported back several times a week.

Three things printed in the investigation report on which this page was commissioned do not survive the documents. The report says Epstein wired him $580,500; the exhibit it cites puts his name in the payer column of a chart of money coming in, and its total is larger than the rows of that exhibit that carry his name at all.4 The report quotes Epstein telling him “tomorow you must make money. clear that cascade will authorize the payments”; the sheet reads “tomorow you must make it clear that cascade will audit the=payments”.8 And the report presents a run of small March and April 2019 wires as a possible structuring pattern; the file records, in the parties’ own words, a $100,000 short-term advance that had gone overdue and a debtor saying he was selling jewellery to repay it.9 Nothing on this page is a finding of wrongdoing. He has been charged with nothing, and no document read for this page alleges that he knew of any offence.

Identification: two men called Mitchell, and the corpus puts them in one room

David J. Mitchell is not Senator George J. Mitchell. The release documents that distinction rather than leaving it to be asserted. EFTA01755390 is a day sheet sent by Lesley Groff to Epstein on 5 November 2013, setting out the coming days in New York. Under Wed. Nov. 6, 2013 it prints two appointments ninety minutes apart:1

9:00am Appt w/David Mitchell … 10:30am Appt w/Senator George Mitchell

Both lines print w/ on the sheet. The extraction renders the second as Appt iv/, so a page written from the text layer would have quoted a form that is not on the paper. Each of the two entries is followed by a barred value.1

The release carries the surname for a number of other people, and the distinction was made by reading them rather than by inferring it from how often each one occurs. Joy E Mitchell is a name standing in the Cc line of a Deutsche Bank internal distribution list. Nathanael J. Mitchell is an attorney whose name stands beside Paul G. Cassell and Bradley J. Edwards on court filings. Mitchell A. Kline M.D. is a dermatologist. Levin Middlebrooks Mabie Thomas Mayes Mitchell is a Florida law firm inside a repeated case citation. Mitchell Bard is a columnist whose name recurs in a newsletter Epstein received. Zattia Mitchell is a name in the Cc line of Epstein-office correspondence beside Rich Kahn and Darren Indyke.

And the release holds a third man of the name. A newspaper page of 30 July 2020 carries the byline “Bryn Stole and David J. Mitchell”. That is a journalist, and neither the subject of this page nor the Senator.10

The extraction damages his name, and this page does not rely on it for the name. Where a sheet cited here is the evidence for how his name stands on the paper, that sheet has been read at the image and the extraction’s reading is declared beside it rather than carried. No count, query form or retrieval route is published on this page for any personal name.

The instruments

An instrument naming a fiduciary is an act, and these name him four times over.

The 2013 Trust. EFTA00082247, nineteen sheets, opens: “THIS TRUST AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated September 16, 2013, by and among JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN, as Grantor (“Grantor”), and DARREN K. INDYKE, JAMES E. STALEY and DAVID MITCHELL, as Trustees (“Trustees”).” Its first article reserves to Epstein alone the right to amend the agreement, to remove any Trustee, to revoke the trust and to withdraw principal, each by written instrument; Section 1.2 lets the Trustee distribute principal to Epstein at the Trustee’s discretion.11

The 2013 will. EFTA00016876 appoints Indyke, Joseph Pagano and Staley as Executors, and continues: “If any one or more of my Executors fails to qualify or ceases to act, I appoint DAVID MITCHELL as successor Executor.”12

The 2014 Trust. EFTA00082273, twenty-three sheets, is “dated November 18, 2014” and names the same three Trustees.13

The 2014 will. EFTA00016884 is the controlling instrument, and its third article reads:

THIRD: A. I appoint DARREN K. INDYKE, DAVID MITCHELL and JAMES E. STALEY to be the Executors of this Will. If any one or more of my Executors fails to qualify or ceases to act, I appoint LAWRENCE H. SUMMERS as successor Executor. I authorize the last acting Executor to designate his successor as Executor.

Its first article directs that each Executor be paid “the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) … upon the completion of probate”. Between 2013 and 2014 he moves from successor executor to named executor, displacing Pagano, while Lawrence H. Summers takes the successor slot.14

Two details on the face of the will that the extraction destroys. Its second article gives all property to the Trustees of a trust agreement “dated November ___, 2014”: the day is an empty printed rule, not a bar and not an omission, and the extraction closes the gap so that the sentence reads as though no day had ever been contemplated. And the execution clause reads “I have duly executed this Will the 18th day of November, 2014”, the day written in ink over the printed ordinal, with Epstein’s signature in black ink beneath it and the two witnesses’ in blue.14

He swore his acceptance separately, and late, both times. Each trust carries the trustees’ notarial acknowledgements on its closing sheets, and his is on a sheet of its own in both. The 2013 Trust is dated 16 September 2013 and his acknowledgement is sworn 4 November 2013, forty-nine days later, before Harry I. Beller, with the identification blank left as an empty printed rule. The 2014 Trust is dated 18 November 2014; Indyke and Staley swear together on 26 November before one notary, and he swears on 3 December before another, “who is personally known to me or who has produced” the blank being filled in by hand with the words drivers license. The notary who took his 2014 oath is named in the stamp as DOUGLAS BENTON ARNAUDIN. A Doug Arnaudin writes throughout this file from Mitchell Holdings LLC, at Mitchell’s own addresses, and introduces himself to Indyke as “Doug Arnaudin from David Mitchell’s office”. No sheet read for this page states that they are the same man, and this page does not resolve it.1516

By August 2019 he had been moved down the line. The 1953 Trust, made as of 8 August 2019, two days before the death, names Indyke and Richard D. Kahn as Trustees and sets out a successor chain in which he is fifth, after Boris Nikolic, Barnaby Marsh, Anthony Barrett and Kathy Reummler. A successor’s appointment takes effect only when the successor signs an acceptance, and no acceptance signed by him has been located in this release, so nothing here says he ever became a trustee of that instrument.17

Mitchell Holdings LLC, and why the signature block is not a count of his acts

His messages close with a block set in small capitals: DAVID MITCHELL over Mitchell Holdings LLC over a Manhattan street address. That block measures nothing he did. A signature block reproduces in every message that quotes him, in every forward of such a message, and in every duplicate scan of both, so its presence in the release records the circulation of other people’s mail as much as anything he sent.7

The block’s street line dates it, and the line moves four times across the decade: 41 East 60th Street, then 815 Fifth Avenue, then 801 Madison Avenue, then 745 Fifth Avenue. The street line is the only component of the block that changes, which is what makes a reproduced block datable at all, though on many sheets it cannot be read at all.7

What the block does not show

A signature block is not an act, and a name in a file is not a message sent. The same message reaches the release in several export shapes and in duplicate scans, so the sheets carrying his name stand for fewer messages than there are sheets, and a part of them were sent by somebody else entirely. His own correspondence in the release runs from 2009 to 2019 and is heaviest in its last two full years. That is this desk’s reading of the file, and no figure is published for it.

The money, and which way it ran

EFTA00027019 is the document the investigation report treats as its payment ledger: nine sheets of Deutsche Bank transaction tables compiled for the Southern District of New York, set out as five exhibits. His name occurs on two sheets, both inside Exhibit C: Capitalization of Jeffrey Epstein’s Now/SuperNow Accounts.

The exhibit’s five columns are headed Date, Payer, Recipient, Amount and Bates number, and his name stands in the Payer column. On Exhibit A of the same document the recipient column prints in the clear; on Exhibit C every recipient cell is barred, and the exhibit’s own sixth footnote says why, that column holding the account number. The fifth footnote states what the table is: “According to KYC records, Jeffrey Epstein used the Now/SuperNow accounts (also referred to as “Elite Checking with Interest”) for his “personal daily use.” … The attached chart reflects incoming wire transfers from Deutsche Bank brokerage accounts and accounts held at third party financial institutions.”4

So the exhibit records money going into Epstein’s personal spending account, not out of it. The report’s “direct recipient of at least $580,500 in verified wire transfers from Epstein’s Deutsche Bank accounts” has the direction reversed, and its total is larger than the rows of that exhibit that carry his name at all. The rows bearing his name run from 30 March 2018 to 12 April 2019. Where a payer cell on that exhibit is barred, this page names nobody for it, gives nobody a role in it, states no amount for it, and counts it in no total.4

The other direction is documented too, in the parties’ own words

Money moved both ways, and the outbound leg ran through Richard Kahn of HBRK Associates Inc.

  • 5 September 2018. Mitchell to Epstein: “If possible Can I get a short term advance for payroll at the hotel of $46,000 To be paid back next Friday Thank you if you can, David”. Epstein forwards it to Kahn the same afternoon; Kahn replies “please advise on wiring instructions”.18
  • 24 September 2018. Kahn to Epstein, subject David mitchell: “please confirm that i should send david 85,000 wire today”. Epstein: “yes”.19
  • 1 February 2019. Mitchell to Kahn: “Spoke with Jeff this morning and very kindly has agreed to help me with a short term advance of $100,000 which will paid back between the 15 th or the 18th / Please let me know once you have wired so I can track and let you know when it is received”.9

That last one can be watched leaving the account. Epstein’s Deutsche Bank statement for February 2019, for the “Elite Checking With Interest” account which is the same account Exhibit C calls NOW/SuperNOW, opens its transaction detail with a single line for the first of the month: 02-01 # Outgoing Money Trnsf TO FIRST REPUBLIC BANK ▮ ▮ / ▮ DAVID MITCHELL (100,000.00), taking the balance from $3,638,482.16 to $3,538,482.16. The sheet prints his name in the clear; the extraction reads it DAVID NIITCHELL.20

That last one has a sequel, and it is the answer to the report’s structuring theory. The thread’s subject line is Loan repayment. On 12 February Kahn asks “please advise if this will occur on friday as originally mentioned in your email below”. On 13 February he writes “david i would appreciate a reply to my email”, and Mitchell answers “working on getting it by the week end , will know for sure this afternoon”. On 25 February Kahn writes “still waiting to hear when you will be repaying 100,000 which is overdue.. / please advise”. On the morning of 26 February Mitchell replies “it is overdue / I am selling some jewelry pieces and look to get paid this week for them”, and nine minutes later Kahn forwards the entire exchange to Epstein.9

Seven days after that, on 5 March 2019, Exhibit C records three wires from him into Epstein’s account on one day, of $25,000, $14,000 and $4,000, followed by $5,500 on 18 March, $3,000 on 1 April, $7,800 on 11 April and $2,200 on 12 April. The page does not assert that those are the repayment. No document read for this page ties a particular wire to a particular advance, and the bank exhibit carries no instruction field. What the file does establish is that the parties were running a two-way account, with sums going out as short-term advances and coming back as wires, and that the small fragmented payments fall at the end of a documented chase for an overdue loan. Whether that sequence explains them is a reading, and it is this desk’s; the file does not say so.49

A second bank, and a suspicious-activity report

EFTA00151554 is a FinCEN BSAR transcript filed on 19 July 2019, thirteen days after Epstein’s arrest, by FIRSTBANK PUERTO RICO. Its four named subjects are Jeffrey E. Epstein, F T Real Estate Inc, Laurel Inc and Michelles Transportation Company LLC. He is not one of them. He appears once, in the narrative:

two (2) incoming funds wire transfers were processed for $840,000.00. According to our system applications both transactions were originated by David J. Mitchell with address at ▮ USA. No instructions or details were included.

The analyst then records an attempt to work out who that is5: “We performed a search on internet and was found a possible match with David J. Mitchell; Chief Executive Officer and President of CenterPoint Corp. since January 24, 2002 … He has been Managing Partner of Las Vegas Land Partners LLC since June 2004.” That biography belongs to neither the subject of this page nor the Senator; it is a fourth man of the same name. The bank’s own word for it is “a possible match”.

The report concludes: “we will file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) totaling $1,740,000.00 … The period on which the suspicious activity was processed was from June 25, 2018 to March 29, 2019.” The structured block gives the grounds as suspicious wire transfers, source of funds, use of multiple accounts, transactions out of pattern, and “Transaction with no apparent economic, business, or lawful purpose”. The $840,000 is not among the Exhibit C sums, which are a different bank; and the SAR window falls inside the window of the Exhibit C rows. What the two records share is a shape: substantial sums arriving in Epstein accounts under that name, with nothing on the face of either record saying what they were for. Whether the name on the FirstBank wires is his is exactly what this page declines to decide, below. Account numbers on those sheets are not reproduced here.5

The property book

The correspondence is a working account of Epstein’s New York real estate, and it is specific.

2010, an acquisition. On 8 August 2010 he writes: “I think at max 2.20 (with 3 cent leeway) we get the whole thing / They are holding at 2.50 / Need to go back firm to get them to move / What say you”. Epstein answers “doesn;‘t tel me anything.. is this your 51% or your partial , who is the they?” and he replies: “This is for 51 percent / 5-6 groups that make up the 51 percent , depending how you count / Working on the Proxy route as an option as well but that looks like 2.50 and bit more complicated as the Vicis wants a board seat”. The target is not named on the sheet and this page does not supply one. His block at that date reads 41 East 60th Street, 6th Floor.6

2012, a proof of funds. On 15 May 2012: “Dear Jeff / The seller is getting edgy on me and I need to produce this proof funds letter Was the last edition ,ok I would be very thankful if you send it back to me ,I have a noon deadline set by them”. Epstein’s reply, copying Indyke, is “Yes”. A proof-of-funds letter shows a seller that the buyer has the money; the sheet does not say whose money it was, and this page does not infer it.21

2013, Epstein’s own house. On 26 June 2013 he forwards Epstein a zoning study of 9 East 71 Street prepared inside his own office, headed “Ratio of Building SF to Lot SF (FAR)” and giving “Max allowed FAR 4 / FAR as built 3.68 / Maximum usable floor area 20,432 / Usable floor area 18,797”, beneath the question “What is an R8B Zoning District?”. The measurement says the house was built below what the zoning allowed. Nothing read for this page records any application, filing or work following it.22

2017, the Life Hotel. The largest single run in the file is an eleven-sheet chain of 5 November 2017 about the Life Hotel at 19 West 31st Street, forwarded to Epstein the same evening. It carries the closing statement of a $3,500,000 CREDS loan as preferred equity, with fees deducted to $3,393,000 net and a good-faith deposit added back to $3,408,000, distributed to Katsky Korins ($98,000), Arnold & Porter ($30,000), Muchnick, Golieb & Golieb ($25,000) and Life Hotel Pref LLC ($3,236,367.70). Around the statement is a quarrel with the restaurateur Stephen Hanson. Hanson: “seems like another of your stall tactics that I have seen you do with the contractors … I think it best I respond to you through lawyers as it seems I will not be able to proceed for lack of funding … Let’s hear your separation plan on Monday”. Mitchell answers in capitals: “MOST IMPORTANT TWO FACTS ARE: 1.WE NEED TO CLOSE OUT CONSTRUCTION AND GET A TCO SO THAT BOTH OF US ARE OFF ANY CONSTUCTION GUARANTEE FOR COMPLETION 2. MAKE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THE RESTAURANT WORK AS THERE IS NO OTHER SOURCE OF FUNDING AND EVERY DOLLAR IS ACCOUNTED FOR IN DETAIL”, and earlier: “Money is set aside and ready to be released pending a fairly simple outline that gives detail to your budget what is required”.23

Hanson’s complaint about him goes further than that, and his answer sits beside it. In a September 2016 message to his own side Hanson writes “Punch line for me is I knew davids $ was bs +high on hotel so I low balled the restaurant - so we can actually meet these net $ projections”, an allegation that Mitchell’s hotel numbers were inflated. Nothing read for this page records Mitchell being shown that message or answering it; what the file holds instead is the capital stack his own office supplied in the same exchange, which the sheet sets out as a total of $58,000,000 over a senior loan of $28,249,398, a building loan, a project loan and $22,000,000 of equity.24

2019, East 82nd Street, and a denial. On 2 March 2019 Epstein writes: “i dont know the carrying costs on 82 . but even if you found the 10m to servie it would cost 500 -600 k per year. minmum . plus taxes condo etc. i have no problem with you dragging it out making some income. for yourself and wife. . but I ask again that nnumbers give to me be as accurate as possible”. The answer is a denial of the premise: “Understood / There is no income opportunity for me or my wife in this , never has been / The only reason I would do this would be to have a chance ( all be it long term) to return capital to the investors versus letting bank sell this out at this point in the market”. Epstein’s next message reads “hopeless. not worth your time just look at the real numbers. its easy . 19m debt. plus interst , carrying etc.”2

What a working day looked like. On 2 January 2019, answering Epstein’s two-word “hny status , ?”, he files a headed report copied to Richard Kahn: “COOP / Power Mortgage Bank sending loan documents and note / First Republic that was going to modify Heloc ( home equity line ) last week , can’t get my contact today / Art / Reserve on Hercules is still in place / 320 / Two contracts out on 320 , one will have deposit on the 7th / We have not gotten comments on the other / Hotel / nothing to report today”.25

“cascade will audit the=payments”

The investigation report’s headline document is a single-sheet message of 7 November 2017, 12:51 AM, from Epstein to him. The report quotes it as “tomorow you must make money. clear that cascade will authorize the payments. do you have another idea for who can hold the […]” and builds an authorisation chain on it. Read at the image, the sheet prints:8

tomorow you must make it clear that cascade will audit the=payments. . do you have another idea for who can hold the mone=. ?

The report’s “make money” is “make it clear” on the sheet, and its “authorize” is “audit”.8 An audit is a check after the event and an authorisation is a gate before it, so the two readings point in opposite directions. The = characters are quoted-printable damage on the face of the sheet, not an artefact of the extraction, and are reproduced here unrepaired.8

The report describes a single occurrence of the word, and the file holds more than one. Beside the 7 November message, which reaches the release in four copies, there is an exchange four days later reading “Not from m cascade”, also in four copies; a message reading “but i dont knowt the cascade papers it liens etc.”; and, from 1994 to 1995 and nothing to do with either, a conference itinerary listing Boise Cascade.8

The corpus does hold an entity of that name, and this page declines to join them. "Cascade Investment" returns 21 documents: a draft letter agreement between an entity of Boris Nikolic and Cascade Investment, LLC; a bgC3 services description listing Cascade Investment, L.L.C. among an owner’s affiliates; Schrodinger board minutes recording that its consent would be required; and a bank client list. No document read for this page connects Epstein’s lower-case “cascade” of 7 November 2017 to Cascade Investment, LLC or to any other named entity, and this page does not assert that it has been identified. The forms searched were "Cascade LLC", "Cascade Capital", "Cascade Partners", "Cascade Fund" and "Cascade Group", each returning nothing, and "Cascade Investment" and "Cascade Investments", returning 21 and 3.8

What this page does not establish

It does not establish that he acted. Being named executor and trustee is an appointment, not conduct. The test was written before it was run, on the principle that a document recording a step in an estate administration would use the vocabulary of one. The only documents in the release that put his name beside the vocabulary of probate are the wills and trusts already cited here. So nothing read for this page records him signing an acceptance, taking a step in any probate, or receiving the $250,000 the will provides for.

It does not establish what any of the money was for. Exhibit C carries no instruction field on any row, and the FirstBank narrative says in terms that “No instructions or details were included”.5 The three advances are described in the file as advances, and the Loan repayment thread is the only one whose outcome the file follows.

It does not identify the man the FirstBank analyst was looking for, and it does not assert that the David J. Mitchell named as originator there is the subject of this page. The overlap is a name and a date range; the sheet itself offers only “a possible match”, and to a different biography.5

It does not resolve whether the notary who took his 2014 trust oath is the Doug Arnaudin who worked in his office, and no page on this wiki should be read as having done so.

The sheet prints board seat; the extraction reads board scat, and a page working from the text layer would have printed a corruption as the document’s face. The same extraction loses the g from the month and reads Date: Sun, 8 Au 2010 19:11:59 -0400; the month above is the sheet’s, read at the image, and the extraction’s reading is declared here rather than carried. The sheet does print doesn;'t tel me anything.. and 5-6 groups that make up the 51 percent , depending how you count, space before the comma and all, and both are reproduced unrepaired. His own address value is barred in the From: line and his telephone line is barred in both signature blocks; the facsimile line prints in the clear and is not reproduced here. The entity, the “5-6 groups” and “the Vicis” are not identified on the sheet and are not identified here. ↩ ↩2 ↩3

  7. The block is MITCHELL HOLDINGS in small capitals over a street line. The street line is the only component that changes, and it is what makes a reproduced block datable at all; the four vintages, in order, are 41 East 60th Street, 815 Fifth Avenue, 801 Madison Avenue and 745 Fifth Avenue, each a business address printing in the clear in his own signature block. On many sheets carrying the block the street line cannot be read. A specimen block read at the image at 400 dpi is at EFTA00691687 p.1. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4

  8. EFTA02570991 p.1. Read at the image at 400 dpi, 2026-09-13, by this pass. One sheet. From: jeffrey E. <[email protected]>, Sent: Tuesday, November 7, 2017 12:51 AM with no zone, To: David Mitchell with no address value beside it. Nothing on the sheet is barred, and the = characters print on the sheet inside the quoted span. Three further copies of the same message are at EFTA00699005, EFTA00963789 and EFTA02392418. The copies and neighbouring occurrences cited above, by identifier: the three further copies named above; the four carrying “Not from m cascade” of 11 November 2017, EFTA00960870, EFTA00960874, EFTA02569841 and EFTA02569887; EFTA00939348, “but i dont knowt the cascade papers it liens etc.”; and three copies of a 1994 to 1995 conference itinerary naming Boise Cascade, EFTA00072947, EFTA02835304 and DOJ-OGR-00007494. The entity searches were written before they were run: "Cascade LLC", "Cascade Capital", "Cascade Partners", "Cascade Fund" and "Cascade Group" return nothing; "Cascade Investment" returns 21 and "Cascade Investments" 3. Specimens of the 21 read: EFTA01070909 pp.1 and 9, a draft letter agreement with an entity of Boris Nikolic; EFTA00585567 p.1, a bgC3 services description; EFTA00293474 p.6, Schrodinger board minutes; EFTA01362594 p.1, a bank client review list. Text layer, UNVERIFIED, apart from the certified sheet above. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4 ↩5 ↩6

  9. EFTA01032392 pp.1 and 2. Both read at the image at 400 dpi, 2026-09-13, by this pass. Two sheets, subject Fwd: Loan repayment, From: Richard Kahn with the address value barred, To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]>, Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 14:25:52 +0000; the extraction reads that field as Tuc, 26 Feb 2019 14:25:52 4.0000. Beneath it, in order upward: Mitchell of February 26, 2019 at 9:16:43 AM EST, Kahn of Monday, February 25, 2019 1:41 PM, Mitchell of Feb 13, 2019, at 10:10 AM, Kahn of Wednesday, February 13, 2019 10:09 AM, Kahn of Feb 12, 2019, at 10:01 AM and Mitchell of Feb 1, 2019, at 8:07 AM. The 9:16:43 EST message and the 14:25:52 UTC forward are nine minutes apart, which is the internal check on the zones. Epstein’s own address prints in the clear in the top-level To: line; every other e-mail address value on the two sheets is under a bar, and no name is barred on either sheet. The postal address lines in the signature blocks print in the clear and the sentence above is about the header and signature e-mail values only: 575 Lexington Avenue 4th Floor over New York, NY 10022 in Kahn’s block on both sheets, and 745 Fifth Avenue over New York NY 10151 over USA in Mitchell’s on p.2, each with the two or three contact lines beneath it barred. Both sheets were re-read at the image for that point by this pass at 300 dpi over a native raster of 1,501 by 1,056 at 96 ppi, an interpolation of about three. The sheet prints 15 th with a space and which will paid back; both are reproduced unrepaired. Two spans here are reproduced from the image and are carried by neither extraction intact, so they are set out in full. The pinned copy’s extraction closes the space before the comma in week end , will know and damages nothing else in that line; an independently produced copy at EFTA02629535 p.1 carries the space and instead damages the next word, its extraction reading will know for =ure this afternoon. And the pinned copy’s extraction reads Wednesday, February 13, 2019 1a09 AM where the sheet prints 10:09 AM, while the twin’s extraction reads Wednesday, February 13, =019 10:09 AM. In both cases the two productions are damaged in different places and the sheet is read at the image; nothing is repaired from a twin. A further copy of the 1 February request alone is at EFTA01028716 p.1, where Kahn asks Epstein “please advise if ok to send david 100,000” and notes he had found the request in his junk mailbox. ↩ ↩2 ↩3 ↩4

  10. The other bearers of the surname named above were established by reading the sheets, not by inferring them from frequency: Joy E Mitchell at EFTA01357065 p.1 and EFTA01358100 p.1; Nathanael J. Mitchell at EFTA00021442 p.17; Mitchell A. Kline at EFTA00489173 p.1; the Florida firm at EFTA00589617 pp.3 and 9; Mitchell Bard at EFTA00627369 p.1; Zattia Mitchell at EFTA00710863 p.1. The 2020 byline is at EFTA00040903 p.7. Two Epstein reminder runs, at EFTA00738154 p.1 and EFTA00428730 p.1, carry a damaged spelling of the Senator’s forename and belong to the Senator, not to the subject of this page. Text layer, UNVERIFIED, except where a sheet is separately certified elsewhere on this page. ↩

  11. EFTA00082247 p.1. Read at the image at 400 dpi, 2026-09-13, by this pass. Nineteen sheets; nothing on that sheet is barred. The closing acknowledgement sheet of the same run is certified at 15. ↩

  12. EFTA00016876 p.1. Read at the image at 400 dpi, 2026-09-13, by this pass. Eight sheets; nothing on that sheet is barred. The investigation report quotes this clause as naming “DARREN X. INDYKE”; the sheet prints DARREN K. INDYKE. ↩

  13. EFTA00082273 p.1. Read at the image at 400 dpi, 2026-09-13, by this pass. Twenty-three sheets. Nothing on that sheet is barred. ↩

  14. EFTA00016884 p.1 and p.8. Both read at the image at 400 dpi, 2026-09-13, by this pass. Nine sheets. On p.1 nothing is barred, and the Article SECOND date is an empty printed rule, dated November ___, 2014, which the extraction closes to dated November 2014. On p.8 the execution day is written in ink over the printed th; Epstein’s signature is black ink and the two witnesses’ are blue; two residence values are barred and the words St. Thomas, VI 00802 are written in the clear beside each. ↩ ↩2

  15. EFTA00082273 pp.22 and 23, and EFTA00082247 p.19. All three read at the image at 400 dpi, 2026-09-13, by this pass. On EFTA00082273 p.22 both acknowledgements read 26 and November, handwritten in blue ink, before HABIBE AVDIU, Notary Public, State of New York, qualified in Richmond County; the identification blank is an empty printed rule in both. On p.23 the day and month read 3rd and December, and the identification blank is filled in as drivers license, before the stamp of DOUGLAS BENTON ARNAUDIN, Notary Public, State of New York, qualified in New York County, commission expiring February 21, 2016 (the extraction reads that year as 2010). On EFTA00082247 p.19 the day and month read 4 and November, the identification blank is an empty printed rule, and the stamp is HARRY I. BELLER, qualified in Rockland County. Each of the three sheets carries a manuscript notarial signature in ink; nothing on any of the three is barred. ↩ ↩2

  16. EFTA00414835 p.1 carries, of 19 April 2012, “Hi Darren, this is Doug Arnaudin from David Mitchell’s office. I will be coming by today to hand deliver the documents”, over the block Doug Arnaudin / Mitchell Holdings LLC / 815 Fifth Avenue, forwarded on by Indyke with “Please bring upstairs” and answered by Lesley Groff with “it is on your desk”. EFTA00340652 p.1 and EFTA00691687 p.1 carry the same block at 801 Madison Avenue, 4th Floor. The notarial stamp gives a fuller name than any of these sheets does, and no sheet read for this page states that the notary and the employee are the same person. Text layer, UNVERIFIED, except EFTA00691687 p.1, read at the image at 400 dpi. ↩

  17. EFTA00099303. This page does not certify that sheet. The successor chain and the acceptance requirement are taken from the desk’s ruling on that document, recorded by the people/barnaby-marsh writing pass, which read it at the image at 400 dpi at p.25 and reports Article VI §6.1 as naming, in order, BORIS NIKOLIC, BARNABY MARSH, ANTHONY BARRETT, KATHY REUMMLER, DAVID MITCHELL, STEVE HANSON and EVA DUBIN, with §6.2 making a successor’s appointment effective only “when such successor Trustee signs an acceptance of the trust”. ↩

  18. EFTA01024251 p.1, Epstein forwarding to Richard Kahn on 5 September 2018 the message Mitchell had sent him fifteen minutes earlier; EFTA01022717 p.1, the same chain forwarded again on 18 September to Kahn and Mitchell together; EFTA01022866 p.2, carrying Kahn’s “please advise on wiring instructions”. Text layer, UNVERIFIED. ↩

  19. EFTA01022066 p.1, Epstein’s reply “yes” of Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:53:17 +0000 above Kahn’s request of 3:47 PM, above Epstein’s “Ok” of 3:14 PM forwarding Mitchell’s message of the same minute; a second copy at EFTA02621352 p.1, which prints the sum as 85,00O with a capital O for the final zero. The sum is given here as 85,000 on the strength of the first copy; neither sheet has been rendered. Text layer, UNVERIFIED. ↩

  20. EFTA01288228 p.1. Read at the image at 400 dpi, 2026-09-13, by this pass, and the transaction line re-read on a crop of that render. The sheet’s own raster is 816 by 977 at 96 ppi, so a 400 dpi render is an interpolation of about four and a sixth, and the bar count below was taken on the crop rather than on the page view. Eight sheets. Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Americas statement addressed to JEFFREY EPSTEIN, February 1, 2019 to February 28, 2019, account Elite Checking With Interest, Bates DB-SDNY-0008015, stamped CONFIDENTIAL – PURSUANT TO FED. R. CRIM. P. 6(e) with a rule longer than a hyphen. Two extraction faults on this sheet are declared and not repaired anywhere above: the account name reads Elite Checki na With Interest and the stamp reads CONFIDENTIAL - PURSUANT TO FED R CRIM. P. 6(e), losing the stops after FED and R and shortening the rule. The transaction detail’s first line is the one quoted and it occupies two printed lines. Three bars stand inside it: a short one and then a longer one to the right of TO FIRST REPUBLIC BANK on the upper line, and a third short one at the left of the lower line, standing immediately before DAVID MITCHELL. The name itself prints in the clear. The account number in the summary block is barred. Account, cheque and transaction reference numbers print elsewhere on this sheet and none is reproduced here. The Bates number sits one below DB-SDNY-0008016, the 7 February 2019 row of Exhibit C, which is how the two documents can be seen to describe the same account. ↩

  21. EFTA02554189 p.1. Read at the image at 400 dpi, 2026-09-13, by this pass. Two sheets. The quoted request stands as the innermost message of the chain and every one of its five lines is prefixed > on the sheet by the mail client; the prefixes and the line breaks are not reproduced above, and nothing else in the span is altered, including Was the last edition ,ok and send it back to me ,I have a noon deadline. Epstein’s reply is headed Cc: Darren Indyke. The top-level field reads Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 2:24 PM and the quoted reply reads Sent: May 16, 2012 4:21 AM, so the inner message is stamped a day AFTER the message carrying it; neither field carries a zone and no time is given above. Two address values are barred and his telephone line is barred in both signature blocks. ↩

  22. EFTA00691687 p.1. Read at the image at 400 dpi, 2026-09-13, by this pass. Two sheets; From: "David Mitchell" with the address value barred, To: "Jeffrey Epstein" <[email protected]>, Subject: Fw: R8B Zoning, Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2013 19:28:34 +0000. The heading 9 East 71 Street is bold and underlined on the sheet and the four figures stand in a ruled table beneath it. Epstein’s own address prints in the clear in the To: line; every other e-mail address value on the sheet is under a bar, and no name is barred; the business telephone line prints in the clear and is not reproduced here. ↩

  23. EFTA02571059 pp.1 to 7 of 11. From: David Mitchell, Sent: Sunday, November 5, 2017 6:10 PM, To: Jeffrey Epstein, Subject: Fwd: Response,. The closing statement stands on pp.5 and 6, the capitalised reply on p.4, Hanson’s message on pp.2 and 3. The sheet prints CONSTUCTION and life Hotel Pref LLC with a lower-case l; both are reproduced. Text layer, UNVERIFIED. ↩

  24. EFTA00817634 pp.1 to 4, an exchange of 21 September 2016 among Hanson, Doug Arnaudin and others, carrying the projections and the capital stack. Mitchell is not a recipient of the message carrying the “bs +high” line, and nothing read for this page records it reaching him. Text layer, UNVERIFIED. ↩

  25. EFTA01009637 p.1, Date: Wed, 02 Jan 2019 21:31:49 +0000, CC: Richard Kahn, answering Epstein’s 99 of 9:57 PM; a second copy at EFTA02606664 p.1. The “hny status , ?” it follows stands at EFTA02608531 p.1. Text layer, UNVERIFIED. ↩
