Extraction Summary
Document Information
This document is a chain of emails between the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) and FBI technical agents regarding the processing of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's properties in New York and the US Virgin Islands. The correspondence highlights significant technical challenges, including the large volume of data (terabytes), issues with encryption, network infrastructure problems at the lab, and difficulties ensuring 'load files' are compatible with the Relativity e-discovery platform for 'taint review'. The emails also list specific evidence identifiers (NYC numbers) for hard drives, laptops, and loose media found at the NY mansion. NOTE: While the phrase 'flight records' appears on page 8, it is used as a hypothetical example of a technical error (attachments not linking to emails) and does not contain actual flight data.

"Relativity is NOT a forensic tool. It is incapable of dealing with many things that are found forensically on a computer like free space, slack space, and system files..."Source
"We have gotten past encryption on multiple devices."Source
"There were 9 IDE hard drives found in the Manhattan apartment, they turned out to be 3 copies of 3 drives (9 drives in total) from a July 2007 search on one of his properties."Source
"Sorry for the delay, they reduced us to 1 day a week, so things have been stretched out by a factor of 5."Source
"The CDs from NY only contained pictures, no documents."Source
"So if an email says, 'see the attached flight records,' for example, we have no way of linking that up with the records themselves."Source
