Summary

This document contains a series of emails from 2016, likely written by Jeffrey Epstein to 'Leon' (presumably Leon Black), sent via Melanie Spinella. The emails reveal Epstein's deep frustration with Leon's 'family office' and accounting teams (Deloitte, PWC), criticizing their incompetence regarding financial transactions, IRS responses, and valuations (specifically a CLAT and a $5 billion spreadsheet). Epstein justifies his 'high fees' by claiming his advice has generated benefits between 1.5 and 2 billion dollars and kept Leon's finances 'safe' without disasters.

Leon, I am on the verge of giving up. sorry. I cannot deal with the major incompetence of your family
office. I have been vocal about change. you have made none. john castrucci, still involved etc. the
bullshit corporate speak, of -our accounting dept , our bookeeping dept our finance dept, the comptroller
. now gives me responses that --we have heard from Deloitte , I ask, who at Deloite?. -- dont know ,
the new team at Deloite says the old team was wrong ! what new team? what old team? -- dont know. .
Pwc agrees who at PWC , ? ? I ask ,- dont know. BDO is almost finished - who, ? dont know; .
akin gump agrees. . Fenn? - not sure.
I have spoken to each of karp, pezner, fenn, brad. joslin, bodian. multiple times . like your office
no one in charge with knowledge. so rudderless hysteria . silly beyond belief as this issue is a non
event. other issues have been shunted aside that have real consequences. I know you are jet lagged. I
am schedule tightly today , but can free myself for 15 minutes if you want . if so have melanie talk to
lesley

alan told me you are going to meet tomorrow morning . He has asked me to review the presentation. I
suggest you see for yourself . since you argued that he was partial architect of the big transaction. you
will see. -- bad numbers. unclear assumptions. opaque presentation. no alternatives. no review of
agreements. standardized schedules without names , handed out to the dentists. . NOT even up to date
inputed numbers , why in the world would they present numbers 4 months old. ??!!/ it is only imputs.
dividend assupmtions. a mix of silliness. ( art given to museums is listed as cash out ). discount rates of
13.05 %. what type of number. . 100k for illness expense and funeral, in a spread sheet of 5 billion
dollars.? insurance numbers left out. says debra owns half the boat? taxes? all a waste of time
A clat probabaly makes sense. however who runs it, if interest rates change. did you give them the
assunptions on growth?

Leon please read the attached proposed response to the IRS , see if you can understand it !!!. Ive asked
for a re-do. and given prelimiary directions to Alan to have it edited over the weekend
. If you are quarterbacking ,ok with me. just please let everyone know. you must deal with the
outrageous incompetence in your family office .. Alans words " but i was told that.. , but I was told by
the office (sic) that ... , BUT i was told by joslin,. , but I was told by . " why is leon blaming me for .."
I ve have always given you my best advice, If you reflect on your financial life , you have been kept safe ,
had remarkable results and no disasters. I have repeatedly urged you to get rid of the people in your
office. , you have repeatedly chosen to ignore my advice , you told me last week that the emotional
reason was in order to be weaned off my group and not have to pay my high fees. ( though ignoring
the benefit of between 1.5 and 2b to the better. ) . and no explosions. You have email after email
,where i remind you that I am not your bookkeeper or accountant ( in brads corporate speak his" finance
dept ??!!) that it should be redone .I have reviewed a multitude of the silly reports given to you and
have pointed out the continued numerous inaccuracies . your question " so what if the numbers are off ,
so what if the categories are off. whats the big deal??. I suggest you de risk you finances and make the
tough decisions necessary - pay the right amounts ( high) to get the work done properly or , you are , Im
afraid, certain to get an unhappy answer.. tom will be back from vacation. this week.
