Summary
This document is an email thread between the FBI's NY Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) and the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) regarding the processing of massive amounts of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's properties in New York and the Virgin Islands. The discussion highlights technical difficulties in transferring terabytes of data, issues with file compatibility between forensic tools and the 'Relativity' review platform, and delays caused by FBI network upgrades. It lists specific hardware seized, including servers, laptops, and hard drives (some dating back to a 2007 search), but does not contain actual flight logs or passenger manifests.
