Type: Drafted memo / email (house oversight committee evidence)
File Size: 3.32 MB
Summary

A drafted memo or email from Jeffrey Epstein (contextually implied) to Leon Black (implied) outlining extensive tax and estate planning tasks, including GRAT issues and estate returns. The document primarily focuses on a fee dispute where Epstein claims he is owed significantly more ($50-60m) than the $20m offered for his advisory work on a transaction involving Phaidon and other entities. Epstein disparages other advisors (Alan, Rick Bronstein) and lists money he allegedly 'found' for the recipient, including $11 million in dormant accounts.
