Document Summary

This document is a chain of emails between the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) and FBI technical agents regarding the processing of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's properties in New York and the US Virgin Islands. The correspondence highlights significant technical challenges, including the large volume of data (terabytes), issues with encryption, network infrastructure problems at the lab, and difficulties ensuring 'load files' are compatible with the Relativity e-discovery platform for 'taint review'. The emails also list specific evidence identifiers (NYC numbers) for hard drives, laptops, and loose media found at the NY mansion. NOTE: While the phrase 'flight records' appears on page 8, it is used as a hypothetical example of a technical error (attachments not linking to emails) and does not contain actual flight data.
