An email thread from April-May 2016 where Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias 'jeffrey E.') aggressively negotiates his consulting fees with 'Leon' (likely Leon Black). Epstein demands $40 million per year, citing his past success in saving the client billions and managing estate/tax planning, while criticizing the incompetence of the client's family office staff (Joslin, Brad). The thread includes an underlying email from attorney Alan Halperin regarding an IRS valuation discount.
