Summary
An email chain from June 2019 between FBI financial investigators and the US Attorney's Office regarding the ownership history of Jeffrey Epstein's mansion at 9 East 71st St. Investigators discovered that despite public reports that Leslie Wexner owned the home from 1989 to 2011, the deed records show it was owned by 'Nine East 71st Street Corporation' (with Epstein as President) since 1989, and transferred to 'Maple Inc' (another Epstein entity in the US Virgin Islands) in 2011, with Epstein signing for both sides. The US Attorney's Office questions whether Epstein owned the property the entire time rather than Wexner.

There were a couple questions the AUSAs had. See below. Is it possible to get those documents they're looking for?

This is interesting. The mansion was the home of a school until Leslie Wexner bought it in 1989 – at least according to a number of public reports. He remodeled it, and it was featured (as Wexner’s house) in Architectural Digest in 1995. As of 1996, Epstein told the New York Times that the house was his.
But it doesn't look like there's any record of the property changing ownership between 1989 and 2012, and the sale in 1989 is to "Nine East 71st Street Corporation." Then 13 years later, that corporation, with Epstein as the president, transfers title to another Epstein entity. So did he own it that entire time, rather than Wexner, as had been advertised?? Or did Wexner own it through a corporation for which Epstein was the president until 2012?
Can we pull the equivalent documents to these for the 1989 title transfer?
