Summary

This document is an email chain from March 2020 between the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and the District of the Virgin Islands (USVI). The USVI office informs SDNY that they are opening an investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein Estate and Southern Country International Bank in conjunction with the FBI and IRS-CI. The chain concludes with SDNY US Attorney Geoffrey Berman expressing annoyance at receiving a direct email from a 'line assistant' at USVI regarding coordination, prompting an internal SDNY discussion to resolve the communication channel.
