Summary
This document contains a chain of emails from November 2015 involving Jeffrey Epstein, Melanie Spinella, and an unidentified advisor (likely legal or financial). The emails discuss significant financial matters, including a suspicious $100 million overseas transfer involving Gagosian without a contract, high-interest loans costing $50k/day, estate planning, and trust management with Bank of America. The sender also expresses strong opinions on staffing (suggesting Ada Clapp should be fired) and mentions FBI involvement in a list of agenda items.

1. brad or richard. makes litte difference. 2. gagosian . no written contract??!! fishy to me - who
transfers 100 million dollars overseas without a contract ,- dont want you pulled into a scandal. careful
especially as he is on the tax dept radar, . 3. I would like you to delineate what you would like me to

manpower over the next holiday month, every document needs minute review. . I would like to fix our
fee agreement , in detail no later than this weekend . ie amounts , dates paid . entities paid. any concept
you may have of" after care"? all on the table. .other questions such as how much to leave your

Jeffrey-given the high daily interest cost (50k+/-) on $$ borrowed which you pointed out yesterday, here's
what I'm thinking, but I want to be 100% on the same page as you:
1. Close next monday on the credit line, but don't borrow any $$. (We can, of course push closing back but
my preference wld be to close.)
2. Right now, at barry's request, Irene Steiner, on behalf of the trustees is reviewing apo1 and apo-o1.
While probably not impt on a "substantive" basis it was (a) impt to barry and (b) is likely good for leon.
3. We are hoping to have signature pages to the trustees (and returned to us) by early to mid next week.
(Ada will oversee.)
4. We will then get the new trust to bofa who, moving quickly (according to them), will have an acct open
the following week, 12/7-9.
5. We need to manage execution of paperwork associated with decanting which I assume occurs once apo-
o1 and bank acct are operative. (Ada I'm sure you'll be on top of this).
