Summary
This document contains a series of emails from late 2015 and mid-2016, likely written by Jeffrey Epstein to his financial and legal team (Brad Wechsler, Melanie Spinella). The content focuses on high-level financial maneuvering involving 'Leon' (likely Leon Black), including restructuring Phaidon/Art Space to harvest nearly $100 million in tax losses, managing aircraft loans where Leon is a guarantor, and setting up new trusts. It also includes construction updates for Little St. James (LSJ) and Great St. James (GSJ), and a directive to fire multiple associates while retaining 'Heather'.
