Summary
This document is an email chain from November and December 2019 between the administrators of the Epstein Victims' Compensation Program (Jordy Feldman) and legal counsel for the victims (Roberta Kaplan's firm). The correspondence centers on the victims' counsel challenging the independence of the program, arguing that because the administrators were hired and paid by the Epstein Estate, they cannot be neutral. Kaplan's team proposes adding a fourth administrator selected by the plaintiffs to ensure fairness.
