Summary
This document appears to be the back cover or flap of a book (evidenced by the ISBN and narrative style) submitted as an exhibit to the House Oversight Committee (Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022186). The text is a first-person narrative from a Palm Beach resident questioning how Jeffrey Epstein made his fortune, why local police were slow to act, why his jail sentence was light, and whether his 'powerful friends' secured his freedom. It highlights the social proximity between the author and Epstein within the 'tightly knit' Palm Beach community.

Palm Beach, where we both live... we knew some of the same people.
Epstein had powerful friends. Were his connections the reason that Epstein was now a free man?

“I HAD BEEN HEARING HAIR-RAISING STORIES about Jeffrey Epstein for a couple of years. Our interests could not have been more different, but Palm Beach, where we both live, is small and tightly knit, and we knew some of the same people. So I had followed Epstein’s case in the media and talked about it over dinners with friends. I wondered why it had taken so long for the Palm Beach police to catch up with Epstein. And, once they did, why he had served so little jail time. Those were the obvious questions, but there were others: How had Epstein made his money, possibly billions? No one seemed to know.
Epstein had powerful friends. Were his connections the reason that Epstein was now a free man? I wanted to know.”
