Summary

This document contains a printed email chain from March 2016, addressed to Melanie Spinella but clearly directed at a high-net-worth individual, highly likely Leon Black (evidenced by references to 'Debra', 'Josh and Mark', and 'Black family partner docs'). The sender (likely Jeffrey Epstein) harshly criticizes the recipient's estate attorneys ('Alan and Ada') for incompetence regarding succession planning and warns that business partners 'Josh and Mark' (likely Apollo's Josh Harris and Marc Rowan) could disadvantage the recipient's heirs. The emails outline a massive restructuring of the recipient's financial life, including 'airplane restructure', 'Phaidon sale', and establishing new trusts to avoid taxes.

Tenancy in common is a type of shared ownership of property, where each owner owns a share of the property. Unlike in a joint tenancy, these shares can be of unequal size, and can be freely transfered to other owners both during life and via a will. Even if owners own unequal shares, however, all owners have the right to occupy and use all of the property.

The fire drill documents received should be the final nail in the coffin of Alan and Ada, . It is inexcusable, , ludicrous and in brads words "insane "or yours, " unexplainable" that the two people that you refer to as your estate attnys , NEVER EVER took the time to actually read the documents that have the biggest efffect on your family and estate upon death or disablity, its impossible.!!! IMPOSSIBLE . after telling me that they were confident that everything had been read , and after years , of you telling me that Im not an attorney, it is clear that my telling you that you have c quality people was over generous, , I received a first draft of the summary of documents. you should read them for yourself. . executive committee issues. , unclear tax. contradictory provisions,your reps having to rely possibly on a fall back to delaware law to protect your interests, even suggesting that even if they would like to fall back , in some instances - no case law. other crazy- provisions that are personal to you , instead of you and your successor ? two pages of " open to interpretation" .or aha , maybe something is wrong! as ie, your rep, after death has no right for information on BRH? ! if you and another founder are dead , the exec commitee has no decision authority, if josh and mark want to fuck your heirs, its easy, black family partner docs dont deal with successionl YOU deserve better . fyi, after a month of brad ada and alan ,on the project, still not willing to share with me a final, they are all embarassed. and full of excuses .
It will take wendy and a new team 6 to 9 months to put your house in order. , new cash flows. new accounting system, airplane rethought, , you new hires can find deals , they can familiarize themselves with your current investments , but should not be doing the accounting for them, .
your will is still not amended, ?! the tenants in common not even explained to you. if something happens to you and debra, no real direction for the foundation. . etc
