Summary
This document is an FBI email chain ending in March 2020, forwarding a detailed technical update from August 14, 2019, regarding video surveillance at the MCC following Jeffrey Epstein's suicide. The report reveals that critical camera feeds were on 'DVR system #2,' which had suffered hard drive failures on July 29, 2019, meaning the cameras were likely not recording during the suicide on August 10, 2019. The FBI outlines a plan to transport the failing system to OTD for forensic recovery, though they note a significant risk that the data is corrupted or unrecoverable.
