This document contains a chain of emails from July 2019 between Jeffrey Epstein's defense attorney, Marc Fernich, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. The correspondence primarily concerns the coordination of returning personal items (cash, effects) seized from Epstein during his arrest, while the government explicitly states they are retaining his electronic devices pursuant to a search warrant. The emails also reference the submission of a government bail memorandum to Judges Pitman and Berman.
