📧 Communication

This document contains a chain of emails between the FBI's NY Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) regarding the processing of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's properties in New York and the Virgin Islands. The correspondence, spanning February to July 2020, details technical challenges including incompatible file formats, encryption (specifically APFS on Mac devices), and delays caused by FBI network upgrades and COVID-19 staffing reductions. The prosecutors express frustration with the pace and format of data production, eventually proposing to hire an outside vendor (BRG) to complete the work.
