This document contains a series of email correspondences from 2016, likely between Jeffrey Epstein and Leon Black (addressed as 'Leon'), mediated partly through Melanie Spinella. The text reveals significant friction regarding financial management, with the sender (Epstein) aggressively defending his 'high fees' by claiming to have generated billions in value while criticizing the 'outrageous incompetence' of Leon's family office staff (including Alan, Joslin, and others) regarding IRS audits, valuation discounts, and tax planning structures like CLATs and 1031 exchanges. The document includes specific references to Empire Valuation, PWC, BDO, and Akin Gump.
