Larry Visoski was Jeffrey Epstein’s chief pilot. He was also the person whose signature the Federal Aviation Administration accepted on the registration paperwork of Epstein’s aircraft, and the person named as manager (and in one filing as a member) of the limited liability companies that held them. Three of the corporate offices he signed in are firmly attributed to him; a fourth rests on an attribution the FAA’s own agent qualified.3211 When an FAA special agent traced the registration history of the 2007 Gulfstream G550 for the FBI in August 2021, he wrote of the company that bought it: “The registrant was Lawrence VISOSKI, he signed as Manager… I don’t see EPSTEIN’s name on any of the FAA paperwork. There is open source reporting that VISOSKI was a pilot for EPSTEIN.”3

This page is about that double position: what one salaried employee was hired at, paid, authorised to sign and commit, and what he did on the ground and on paper. It is not about the aircraft. The airframes, their tail numbers, their registration chain and the 2006 FBI interview of Epstein’s previous chief captain are on Epstein’s flight department; the companies themselves are on Hyperion Air, JEGE LLC, Plan D LLC and Thomas World Air.

Nothing on this page is a finding of wrongdoing. Visoski is not charged in any document cited here. The flight records referred to below are passenger manifests; no manifest is reproduced here and no passenger entry from any of them is given.

Hiring and pay

The FBI’s record of his November 2006 interview states that Visoski “is currently employed by Jeffrey Epstein, NES LLC, as chief captain pilot,” that he “was hired by Epstein in 1990 for $55,000.00 a year,” and that before that he “worked as a pilot for Glimcher Real Estate Developer located in Columbus, Ohio,” a firm the document says “was based next door to the Limited Corporation, owned by Leslie Wexner, Epstein’s good friend.”5 The same document records that he had been chief captain “for approximately two years,” having replaced David Rodgers “because, Epstein preferred Visoski’s communication skills and flying techniques.”5 Rodgers, in his own FBI interview three months earlier, described the same change as a demotion and a decrease in pay following a disagreement with Epstein over landing technique; that account is set out on Epstein’s flight department.

Under oath in October 2009 he gave the year as 1991 rather than 1990, and the figure as “[f]ifty-five or 60,000, is maybe what I started.”46 Asked who his employer was, he answered “NES, LLC,” said it had been his only employer and his only source of income since 1991, and said of the company: “I don’t really know. I mean, it’s the company that my check comes from.”4 Asked what he did for it, he answered: “I am chief pilot for the aircraft and helicopters.”4 Asked whether he had “a specific boss or somebody you answer to at NES, LLC,” he did not name one; he answered that “[s]everal people would call to schedule flights from the office.”15 He said he had first heard the name NES, LLC only “[f]ive, six years” earlier and “to this day I couldn’t answer that honestly, what it stands for,” and said of the pay slip itself: “I haven’t seen my paycheck in 27 years.”916

His pay was $200,000 in 2008 and $180,000 by October 2009, after “we all took a 10 percent salary cut” the previous Christmas; asked who told him of the cut, he answered “Darren Indyke,” and said the explanation given was “economic reasons throughout the country.”8 Asked whether he had “also made $200,000” in 2007 he answered “Yes,” and then qualified it: “With a question mark. I’m trying to be as accurate as I can, but yes.”9 Epstein was, he said, “very religious about giving annual increases,” in increments of “five or $10,000 each year.”17 Asked how much the 2007 holiday bonus had been, he answered: “I’d have to ask my wife, to be honest. I haven’t seen my paycheck in 27 years, so I believe it was $10,000.” Of 2008 he said “I think we skipped Christmas bonuses that year” and “[t]he last bonus might have been 2007.”9 The FBI’s 2006 record gives a $15,000 Christmas bonus that year and $10,000 the year before,10 and adds, across the page break, that Visoski “stated he received the monies in cash and later clarified the bonuses came by company check.”1018 The continuation sheet records that he “had only had two disagreements with Epstein and both were over maintenance for the aircrafts.”18

Asked in 2009 whether there had ever been gifts or other compensation, he named two things. One was a pool heater around 1995, after a conversation on board an aircraft.19 The other was land: “I did get land on the ranch to build a house… He deeded me land to build a home,” forty acres at the New Mexico ranch, on which he built a house he said he paid for himself.20 Asked whether Epstein had “ever deeded anyone else in this world land on the ranch to build a home,” he answered “Not to my knowledge.”20 He resisted counsel’s word for it, answering “You’re using the word ‘gifting.’ I paid for the land. I don’t recall what it was,” and, pressed on the sum, said “[i]f there was a sum of money, it was just for, you know, the legal purpose of a transfer of ownership of the land,” that it “was not a substantial amount,” and that “[i]t might have been five dollars.”2122 He also drove a company vehicle, a Hummer garaged at his home in West Palm Beach, whose registration he believed carried the name Zorro Development, and which was “not titled to me or anything like that.”23 The recorded instruments by which he and his wife later granted an undivided seventy-five per cent interest in the ranch tract to Zorro Ranch, LLC are set out on Zorro Trust.

What he signed, and in what capacity

The Federal Aviation Administration’s own reconstruction of the paperwork, prepared by an FAA special agent for the FBI in 2021, records Visoski signing registration instruments in a succession of corporate offices. What is at issue here is the office and not the aircraft; the transactions themselves are set out on Epstein’s flight department.

Four capacities appear across six companies, one of them on an attribution the agent qualified. He signed as Director of Aviation for Air Ghislaine, Inc. on a sale of December 30, 2008; as Director of Maintenance of Freedom Air International, Inc. on a tail-number change of August 2011; and as Manager for Plan D LLC on its purchase of March 29, 2017 and on the bill of sale of December 22, 2020, of which the agent wrote that the company “sold” the aircraft to a buyer who “sold” it the same day, putting the word in quotation marks both times; and for Hyperion Air LLC on its acquisition of June 13, 2019.3211

Two of the six signing events appear on no other page here. On the March 2010 tail-number change he signed as Director of Operations for Shmitka Air, Inc., and that attribution the agent expressly qualified: “On the 8050-64 the signature is not legibile but it looks similar to the signature of Lawrence VISOSKI.”2 Of the May 30, 2013 registration to JEGE, LLC the agent recorded: “The registrant was Lawrence VISOSKI, he signed as Manager.”24

Of the two Hyperion Air companies the agent wrote: “The same players in the Inc and LLC are on the FAA registration paperwork - Darren INDYKE and Lawrence VISOSKI.”25 He also used a fifth style of his own. His email signature block in September 2011 reads “Larry Visoski / Chief Pilot / Freedom Air International, Inc” over a West Palm Beach business address.26 A sixth style is not his own but the Virgin Islands Port Authority’s: writing on September 1, 2011 to a recipient he greets as “Chief,” the Authority’s property management officer described “The Director of Operations of TWA, LLC, Larry Visoski, along with other staff of the company (pilots, etc)” as coming to that recipient’s office about identification badges. That correspondence, and the Thomas World Air hangar tenancy it belongs to, are set out on Cyril E. King Airport and the Virgin Islands Port Authority.27

Two of the companies’ own filings go further than office. The FAA agent records that “[a]ccording to the JEGE LLC, statement in support of registering aircraft submitted to the FAA in 2013, JEGE LLC was established in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands on October 19, 2012 and the members were Jeffrey EPSTEIN and Lawrence VISOSKI.” The same sheet then records a later statement, in the same form of words: “According to the JEGE LLC, statement in support of registering aircraft submitted to the FAA in 2019, JEGE LLC was established in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands on October 19, 2012 and the members were Aviation Development Group LLC and the manager was Thomas H. Huff.” Of that change the agent adds: “I suspect HUFF bought JEGE LLC which included the aircraft.”2 For Plan D LLC the same correspondence records the division the other way: “Jeffrey E. EPSTEIN was a member and VISOSKI was the manager.”3 Hyperion Air, LLC’s operating agreement names him as the company’s initial manager; that instrument is set out on Hyperion Air.28

He also certified a J.P. Morgan Entity Resolution Form for PLAN D LLC. The form’s opening line offers the signer a choice of description, “the Secretary (or duly authorized officer)”; on this sheet the printed word “Secretary” is struck out, so that the certification stands on the alternative. The two authorised signers the form then lists are Jeffrey E. Epstein and Harry Beller. Visoski is not among them. The form is set out in full on Plan D LLC.29

The ceiling

Section V.B of the Hyperion Air, LLC operating agreement, headed “Limitation of Manager’s Authority,” lists eleven acts for which “the written consent of the Sole Member shall be required,” among them the disposal of “any part of the Company’s assets” and any “single expense or combination of related expenses in excess of $5,000.” The clauses are set out on Hyperion Air.12

What that limit looked like in practice is visible in the correspondence. On the evening of December 6, 2018 (Eastern time, taken from the UTC stamp printed on the message’s own sheet and not from its unzoned Sent: header) Visoski wrote to Epstein, copying Richard Kahn, reporting that “Rich was able to negotiate extended GIV insurance for me until Dec 31st,” and went on in the same breath: “This is an insurance requirement, not an FAA requirement, since I’ve attended G550 class 2 months ago., As long as I fly Capt, We are covered.” He had booked recurrent training in Dallas for himself as a “backup Plan,” and then asked: “Should I attend GIV class Dec 17th or wait till after Jan 1st? GIV training cost $19k.”30 The question is put to Epstein to answer.

That autumn he was also carrying the negotiations over the Gulfstream IV. On September 19, 2018, again copying Richard Kahn, he reported: “Wendy called Gary, gave him a verbal $3M offer which includes us being responsible for the veneer repair… Wendy also informed it would be a light PreBuy inspection at Westfield, such as Log and Records research And test flight. All to be spelled out in Purchase agreement. Wendy informs if this is acceptable, she would present an updated LOI. Gary is also working the $3.1M offer as well, with hopes of a deposit by Friday, simple closing like you mentioned.”31 Epstein replied the same day: “did you ask wendy to get us the comlux quotes.”32 Two months later, on the evening of November 16, 2018 (Eastern time again, and read the same way), he reported a separate negotiation: “I spoken to Wendy, she will pass on the $10M+GIV to seller, She didn’t think it would work, she tonight 16M to 16.5M + GIV would be closer, She said her current offer is just below $20M,, I told her, it doesn’t matter what the figure, if the Buyer doesn’t perform, it’s irrelevant.” He added that he had told her “to make sure she passes the offer to the sellers principle.”33 The forenames printed in these messages are not expanded here.

Two years earlier he had stated the agency in terms. Writing on August 23, 2016 to the seller’s representative in a negotiation over a Boeing Business Jet, he answered a question that is not printed on the sheet cited here: “Yes, I represent Mr. Epstein / The purchase company would be Thomas World Airways / I’ll sign NDA and fwd post haste.”34 Two weeks later he sent the signed letter of intent himself, under the subject line “LOI signed Thomas World Airways, LLC” over the message “Please find attached LOI signed, Please confirm receipt” and copying Darren Indyke; the reply came back “Thank you, I confirm receipt of the signed LOI.”35 That transaction is on Thomas World Air.

Ground operations

The chief pilot issued the movement orders. Of the three messages set out below only the September 2011 charter carries the corporate signature block set out above; the two later messages went out from his iPhone, over his forename alone. Where an outside company had to decide whose approval bound the aircraft, it went to him: a representative of the charter operator, Wings Air/Manhattan Helicopters, asked him whether to book the trip and then came back to him to approve the amended price.26 On October 25, 2016 at 9:57 a.m. Eastern he sent a two-line message headed “NY”, reading “Heli on LSJ at 6:15am tomorrow Wednesday” and “Arrival Jet Aviation Teterboro at 10:45am”, to a distribution list of which eight addressees are named on the released page; the first entry and further entries at the end of the line are covered by applied black bars. Among those named are Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn; the others are not named here, and the sheet gives no role for any of them.36 Neither time in the body carries a zone.

On October 22, 2015 Epstein sent him a four-leg itinerary running from New York to Paris and back and then to Little Saint James, across a fortnight; the same message told him to put a person named in it “on notice that she might have to fly up tomorw”, Epstein adding “we will let her know in the morning.” Visoski replied one minute later, “Confirmed Saturday Teterboro,” and later the same evening reported that he and one other person would “arrive in STT tomorrow 3:50pm via JetBlue”, the chief pilot repositioning to the Virgin Islands on a commercial flight.37 The arrival time in the body carries no zone.

He also approved and paid for third-party charters. On September 2, 2011 an operator’s representative asked him at 6:31 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, “Did you want us to book this charter for you?” He answered “Yes trip is approved,” set the departure from the West Side heli pad for the following morning, stated “I will pay for trip,” and gave a card, the number of which is redacted, billed to a St. Thomas address, signing as chief pilot of Freedom Air International, Inc. At 7:12 p.m. the representative came back asking him to approve an amended price, having changed the destination and “edited the passengers to 2.”26

Not all of it was aviation. The FBI’s 2006 record states that “[i]n addition to Visoski’s flight duties, he provided Epstein with advice on home entertainment centers and vehicles,” and that he “installed a home theater system in Epstein’s Palm Beach residence and his ranch in New Mexico.”10 In his deposition he described consulting on boat purchases, “Give my opinion, whether or not whether to buy a certain boat. It’s just a hobby,” and said Epstein “appreciates my opinion on boat purchases,” while adding that what went on with the boats was “not part of my job.”3839 Asked directly whether “you bought boats or you bought cars on his behalf,” he answered: “That is correct.”40

Property in his name

On March 5, 2013 Visoski wrote to a Florida dealership: “I purchased a Dodge Mini Van … two days ago, I want to change the name on the title to a different person… original purchaser was, Lawrence Visoski, see attachment. I would to change the name to my employer: Jeffrey Epstein.” He continued: “I will acquire Power of Attorney to purchase this car is his name and sign paperwork on Wednesday when I return to PBI. Richard Kahn our CFO in NY will wire trnft the funds once corrected title and invoice is fax to him.” The same morning he asked Epstein’s office for a copy of Epstein’s driver’s licence to take to the dealer.4142 A residential address printed on the second of those pages is not reproduced here.

The reverse arrangement was put to him at length under oath. Counsel took him through a 2008 Land Rover, a Mercedes-Benz CLK, a 2005 Mercedes-Benz and a 2005 Jaguar X-Type, each registered in Visoski’s own name and each, he said, a “Palm Beach house car” parked in Epstein’s driveway “for people to use.” Of the Land Rover he said “I put the car in my name, but the funds came from — they were wired to my account from New York,” and, pressed on whose funds they were, “Jeffrey had paid for the car.” Asked why, he answered “I don’t know,” and: “He just says we want to buy an ‘08 Land Rover and put it in my name. So we did. I didn’t ask any further questions.”43444546

Asked whether he knew “of any other employees, friends, agents, relatives of Jeffrey Epstein who he places his property in their names,” he answered: “Not to my knowledge. I don’t know… I’m the only one I’m aware of.”47 Of the three private individuals he had flown for before Epstein, he said none had put vehicles or boats in his name, none had deeded him property, and none had employed his wife.48 His own lawyer at that deposition, he confirmed, was “somebody that is hired by Jeffrey Epstein.”48

Custody of the records

The FBI’s 2006 record sets out the practice: “Prior to the departure of every flight, the captain of the flight filled out the flight manifest log and aircraft log. The individual flight captain is usually rotated between pilots.” The manifests, it continues, were “faxed to” a recipient “in the New York office every two to three weeks,” the recipient’s name being covered on the produced page, and “[t]he aircraft logs are turned in on an annual basis.” It records that Visoski produced the 2005 manifests and Rodgers the 2004, both under grand jury subpoena.10

Under subpoena again in 2009, he was asked who kept the manifests. He answered “Corporate — our corporate office… Up in New York, Darren Indyke,” and when pressed for which corporation said “NES, LLC, I guess”; his own counsel interjected “Do you know for sure?” and the witness answered “I don’t know for sure.”49 After an off-the-record discussion counsel corrected the answer on the record, saying the manifests were corporate documents of either JEGE or Hyperion Air, that Visoski had physical custody of them, and that they were not his documents and were not in New York; that exchange is set out in full on Hyperion Air.50 Visoski added that the ones he had were “at the airport office,” that he had never kept a copy, and that he held them from 2005 onward while earlier years had gone to Jack Goldberger’s office in the criminal investigation.5152

The custody question was still live a decade later. Prosecutors’ notes of a telephone call on July 30, 2019, made in connection with a subpoena to another person, who is neither Visoski nor Rodgers, record that that person “doesn’t keep any records that have passenger information” and “thinks Visoski would have them.”53 Three bullets follow, indented under that line; two of them describe a pilot’s employment as full-time and then contract. They do not name whom they describe, and nothing is taken from them here.

The manifest form itself carries his name in the c/o address block printed for the company. Printed at the foot of the N212JE sheet cited here is “Plan D, llc., c/o Atlantic / Attn: Larry Visoski,” followed by the same West Palm Beach business address as his Freedom Air International signature block.54 The form is a passenger manifest produced under a protective order; nothing on it but that address block is cited here.

His own account

The FBI interviewed Visoski at its Palm Beach County Resident Agency on November 27, 2006, under file number 31E-MM-108062; the FD-302 was transcribed on December 4.5 It records that he “advised that Epstein does not allow any liquor, drinking nor smoking on any of his aircrafts” and that he “has never seen any woman and/or girls under the age of twenty on Epstein’s aircraft.”5 The sentence that follows runs across the page break: he “has never observed any inappropriate behavior or anything of a sexual nature by Epstein.”510 On the continuation sheet the record adds that he “has never seen Epstein with a girlfriend or known him to be romantically involved with anyone.”10 It was Visoski who supplied the Bureau with a roster of Epstein’s current and past employees, running across the New York office, the Virgin Islands, the New Mexico ranch, the boats, the kitchens and the household; on the produced copy several of those names are blacked out. One that is not is the line reading “Ghislaine Maxwell - Business Manager/Best Friend.”18

At the October 15, 2009 deposition, taken in Palm Beach County in a civil action against Epstein whose plaintiff is redacted on the produced copy, he told plaintiff’s counsel that he did not know dates of birth and that he did not “remember anybody transporting on the airplane from the country back into the U.S. that was a minor, to my knowledge”; asked about minors within the country he said “I don’t know.”55 Asked whether over eighteen years he had become personally close to Epstein, he answered: “The same throughout the same year. We never got any closer than 1991 than I am with him now. I’m very professional at what I do and know the line between being professional and thinking you’re somebody’s buddy.”56 Asked to describe the relationship as a job, he said the airplane was “job number one” and that of his role: “Well, that’s chief pilot.”5740

He explained his own view of who employed him when confronted with political contributions on which he had entered a company name that had never paid him: “I represent Air Ghislaine, JEGE and Hyperion as chief pilot, so I consider those really the companies that I work for and never really associated myself with NES, LLC as my realistic employer. So when I go to a convention, an aviation convention, and somebody says who do you work for, I use the name JEGE because that’s the name of the Boeing company.” Asked why he had given a different answer to counsel, he said: “You’re asking for the absolute correct answer, which is where my paycheck comes from, which is NES, LLC. I probably have used that twice in 17 or 18 years as my employer.”5859

He was interviewed again after Epstein’s death. An FBI New York special agent wrote on March 30, 2021 that “[a]fter we interviewed Larry Visoski in November for our case, we have been trying to coordinate with our HSI partners to interview our subject,” describing that subject as “a CBP employee who previously covered St. Thomas airport, and supposedly knew/socialized with Epstein.” The year of the November interview is not stated in the message.14

What the documents cited here do not establish

They do not resolve whether he was hired in 1990 or 1991: the FBI’s record of his own interview says 1990 and his sworn testimony says 1991, and neither is preferred here. They do not establish what NES, LLC was, which he twice said he did not know. They do not establish whether he ever exercised the manager’s powers beyond the instruments named above, or whether the sole member’s written consent was obtained for anything he signed. They do not establish the outcome of the Gulfstream IV negotiation. They do not record any response from him to the Government of the Virgin Islands’ description of him, in its amended complaint against Epstein’s estate, as a manager/member of the aircraft companies; that pleading and its allegations are on Hyperion Air and Plan D LLC.

This is a condensed transcript printing four transcript pages to the sheet, so transcript page numbers below do not correspond to pages of the produced document; each pin gives the sheet and the transcript page. ↩

  14. FBI New York special agent, “C-4 CBP Case,” March 30, 2021. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00038585 p.1, read at the image.

  18. The same interview, continuation sheet page 3, headed “On 11/27/2006,” carrying the bonus figures, the two disagreements and the employee roster. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA01728158 p.64, read at the image at 500 dpi and counted there: the roster holds fifteen entries, of which eleven carry an applied black bar somewhere on the entry line and seven have the name itself barred; Epstein’s cellular telephone number and email address are likewise barred. None of the barred material is supplied here. The FD-302a continues to a page 4 sheet at p.65 which carries the header and nothing else. ↩ ↩2 ↩3

  24. The same correspondence, pp.3–4, read at the image: the registration of the 1988 Gulfstream G-IV, serial 1085, to JEGE, LLC of St. Thomas on May 30, 2013 begins at the foot of p.3 and the line “The registrant was Lawrence VISOSKI, he signed as Manager” opens p.4. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00021666 pp.3–4. The company street address on p.3 is covered by an applied black bar and is not reproduced here. ↩

  25. The same correspondence. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00021666 p.3, read at the image. On the same page the person who signed the 1994 Hyperion Air, Inc. purchase as chief pilot is covered by an applied black bar and is not identified here. ↩

  26. Charter thread, “Re: Charter Quote and Spec Sheet - Sept 3,” September 2, 2011. The sheet carries three messages, read bottom-up: the operator’s question, stamped “9/2/2011 6:31:19 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time”; Visoski’s approval quoted above it, over the signature block “Larry Visoski / Chief Pilot / Freedom Air International, Inc” and a West Palm Beach business address; and at the top the operator’s request that he approve an amended price, stamped “9/2/2011 7:12:09 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time.” The approval therefore preceded the amended-price request. Two of the three stamps carry a zone and only those are printed here; the stamp on the approval itself carries none. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA02183855 p.2, read at the image. A card number, a cellular telephone number and two email addresses on that page are covered by applied black bars and are not reproduced here; the passenger line on that page is not reproduced here. The operating company is named on the next sheet, https://epstein-data.com/EFTA02183855 p.3, read at the image: the forwarded quote request of the same day prints “Customer Service ~ Wings Air/Manhattan Helicopters” over two business addresses, “Manhattan Helicopters | 6 East River Piers, New York, NY” and “Wings Air | 67 Tower Road Hangar T, White Plains, NY.” A name on that page is not reproduced here. The sender’s email address, the addressee entry and a facsimile number in the body are covered by applied black bars on that page, and a block bar stands beneath each of those two address lines; nothing under any of them is supplied here. The extraction of that sheet drops the Wings Air address line altogether and renders the rule in the Manhattan Helicopters line as a digit; the readings above are from the image, taken at 600 dpi. That sheet’s own date stamp carries no zone and no clock time from it is printed here. ↩ ↩2 ↩3

  27. Walter Challenger to a recipient he greets as “Chief,” “TWA, LLC’s tenant approval Middle Bay GA Hangar - ID/badges process assistance,” September 1, 2011, forwarded the same day by Cecile de Jongh to Visoski and copied to Epstein. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00918916 p.1, read at the image. The sheet gives no role or title for the recipient beyond that salutation, and none for Challenger: his description above as the Virgin Islands Port Authority’s property management officer is taken from the documents set out on Cyril E. King Airport and the Virgin Islands Port Authority and not from this sheet. Of the seven email addresses in the two header blocks, six are covered by applied black bars and one is not; none is reproduced here. Both header blocks carry a zone — the forwarded message “September 1, 2011 12:04:20 PM EDT” and the covering forward “Thu, 01 Sep 2011 16:07:26 +0000” — and September 1 is the date in both frames. No clock time is given above. ↩

  28. Operating agreement of Hyperion Air, LLC, Section V (“Management of Business”), subsection A (“In General”), which reads “The Company shall be manager-managed. The initial Manager of the Company shall be Lawrence Visoski.” https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00308263 p.4, read at the image. ↩

  29. J.P. Morgan Entity Resolution Form for PLAN D LLC, page 1 of 2. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA01583454 p.1, read at the image: the certifying officer’s name is entered in hand-lettered capitals, the printed word “Secretary” in the opening line is struck through by a heavy manuscript stroke which, read at 600 dpi, stops short of the word’s final letter, that letter standing clear to the right of it, and the two authorised-signer blocks that are completed carry the machine-printed names Jeffrey E. Epstein and Harry Beller with a pen signature beside each; the third and fourth signer blocks are empty. The year following the printed “20” is a single overwritten manuscript mark and is not resolved here. A date of birth and identity and telephone references printed on that page are not reproduced here. This document is SUPPRESSED in this desk’s registers; citation and quotation are permitted. ↩

  30. Larry Visoski to Epstein, copied to Rich Kahn, “GIV training.” https://epstein-data.com/EFTA02611640 p.1, read at the image. No clock time is given here: the Sent: field carries no zone and gives December 7, 2018. The message’s own plist block, printed on the same sheet, carries date-received 1544153941, which is 03:39:01 UTC on December 7, 2018 and 10:39 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on December 6; the Sent: field, which prints no seconds, agrees with that instant to the minute only if it is UTC, so the message went out on the evening of December 6 in Eastern time. The message carries quoted-printable transmission damage burned into the print (“Thi=”, “at=ended”); the quotation above silently restores those two characters and nothing else. The sender’s email address is covered by an applied black bar in the From line and is not reproduced here. ↩

  31. Larry Visoski to Epstein, copied to Rich Kahn, “GIV update,” September 19, 2018. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA02622552 p.1, read at the image. No clock time is given here: the Sent: field carries no zone. The message’s own plist block on the same sheet carries date-received 1537377470, which is 17:17:50 UTC on September 19, 2018 and 1:17:50 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time the same day, so September 19 is the date in both frames. The message carries quoted-printable transmission damage burned into the print (“respo=sible”, “such=as”, “Purch=se”, “Fri=ay”); the quotation above silently restores those four characters and nothing else. The sender’s email address is covered by an applied black bar and is not reproduced here. ↩

  32. Epstein’s reply the same day, quoting the message above. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA02622533 p.1, read at the image. No clock time is given here: neither the header Sent: field nor the stamp quoted below it carries a zone, and they stand four hours and five minutes apart. The sheet resolves that: it prints date-received 1537377709, which is 17:21:49 UTC on September 19, 2018, fixing the Sent: field as UTC and the quoted stamp as Eastern Daylight Time. September 19 is the date in both frames. ↩

  33. Larry Visoski to Epstein, “Wendy.” https://epstein-data.com/EFTA02616616 p.1, read at the image. No clock time is given here: the Sent: field carries no zone and gives November 17, 2018. The message’s own plist block on the same sheet carries date-received 1542419440, which is 01:50:40 UTC on November 17, 2018 and 8:50 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 16, which is the same reading the sibling message at EFTA02611640 supports; the message went out on the evening of November 16 in Eastern time. The sheet prints “would=be”, “doesn’=” and “it’s=irrelevant”; the quotation above restores a space in the first and the third and a letter in the second, and changes nothing else; “she tonight” is the sheet’s own wording and is left as printed. The sender’s email address is covered by an applied black bar and is not reproduced here. ↩

  34. Larry Visoski to the seller’s representative, August 23, 2016, “Re: BBJ A6-DFR.” https://epstein-data.com/EFTA01784012 p.2, read at the image; that sheet carries the message quoted above and nothing about the letter of intent. No clock time is given here: the Sent: field carries no zone, and August 23 is the date in every zone the correspondence allows. A name on that page is not reproduced here; the sender’s email address and two telephone lines at the head of the sheet are covered by applied black bars. The surname in the From line is broken by the same transmission damage that affects other words on the sheet. The surrounding negotiation is set out with its own pins on Thomas World Air. ↩

  35. Larry Visoski to the seller’s representative, “LOI signed Thomas World Airways, LLC,” September 6, 2016, copying Darren Indyke, with the reply confirming receipt; forwarded to Epstein the next day. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00818820 pp.1–2, both read at the image. No clock time is given here: the Sent: fields on both sheets carry no zone, and September 6 is the date on every reading the sheet’s own zoned stamps allow. A name on those sheets is not reproduced here; email addresses in the headers and a contact line beneath the signature are covered by applied black bars. ↩

  36. Larry Visoski, “NY,” October 25, 2016 at 9:57:33 a.m. EDT, forwarded the same day under a header dated “Tue, 25 Oct 2016 15:14:20 +0000.” https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00437817 p.1, read at the image. Every email address on the sheet, the outer forward’s From line and the whole of its To line are covered by applied black bars, and so are the first recipient entry in the inner message’s To line and two further entries at its end; none of that material is supplied here. The sheet gives no role or description for any recipient. Eight recipient names are printed unbarred; only the two identified in the text above are named here. ↩

  37. Larry Visoski to Epstein, “Re: BBJ,” with three quoted messages of the same evening, RFC header “Thu, 22 Oct 2015 23:04:42 +0000.” https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00631093 p.1, read at the image. No clock time is given here for the quoted messages: none of the three quoted stamps carries a zone. The outer message’s own RFC header is zoned +0000 and falls in the evening of October 22 in Eastern Daylight Time, and the three quoted stamps run in the hour before it and in a single frame, which is how the one-minute interval between Epstein’s message and the reply is read. The sender’s email address is covered by applied black bars and is not reproduced here. Forenames on that page are not reproduced here. ↩

  41. “Fw: Van purchase, Larry Visoski,” March 5, 2013, forwarding a dealership exchange; the quoted message beneath carries the RFC header “Tue, 5 Mar 2013 09:04:13 -0500.” https://epstein-data.com/EFTA02146712 p.1, read at the image. Email addresses in the header blocks and a facsimile number in the body are covered by applied black bars and are not reproduced here. A name on that page is not reproduced here. ↩

  53. Prosecutors’ note, whose header stamps it 1 August 2019 in coordinated universal time — the evening of 31 July in Eastern time — and whose subject line describes it as notes from a telephone call of 30 July about a subpoena; marked CONFIDENTIAL and bearing a 3501 production number. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA01246372 p.1, read at the image. Names on that page are not reproduced here. The From line and five further lines on that page are covered by applied black bars and nothing under them is supplied here. The header block on that sheet stamps its own Date: and Sent: fields “(UTC)”; the 30 July date is the one the note itself gives. ↩

  54. Passenger manifest form for N212JE, PLAN D, LLC, produced under a protective order and bearing an SDNY production number. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA01335282 p.26, read at the image and cited only for the printed address block at the foot of the sheet, which reads “Plan D, llc., c/o Atlantic / Attn: Larry Visoski” over a West Palm Beach business address. No entry in the passenger fields, and no other value on the sheet, is reproduced here. No sheet of that run other than this one has been opened for this page. The extraction of that page renders “llc.” as “Ilc.”; the reading above is from the image. ↩
