This document is an email chain from July and August 2020 between the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (USANYS) and another party (likely defense counsel or a technical vendor) regarding the status of evidence in the Epstein case. Key issues discussed include the discovery of approximately 71,000 'zero byte' (empty) files, the physical failure of hard drives requiring specialist recovery at HQ, and discrepancies between evidence spreadsheets and the actual files provided on discs. Specific evidence items are referenced by 'NYC' numbers (e.g., NYC024328, NYC027913).
