Summary
This document contains a chain of emails between the FBI's NY CART team and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) regarding the technical processing of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's properties in New York and the Virgin Islands. The correspondence highlights significant technical challenges, including the incompatibility of forensic data with the 'Relativity' review platform, the massive volume of data (terabytes), and delays caused by FBI network upgrades and COVID-19 remote work. The US Attorney's office expresses frustration with the organization of the data, specifically requesting better linkage between emails and attachments and clearer identification of seized devices by serial number.
