Hi [Redacted],
I am a journalist that works with ABC News and simultaneously a sociology professor (CUNY / College of Staten Island) doing research on the Epstein case for an academic study in criminology.
Thank you for your email address. Below is a screenshot of a page from the USMS investigation report from 1/8/19 I mentioned on the phone.
[Page 2]
It appears the USAO of the SDNY suspected that Mr. Epstein was not disclosing all his international travel. I would like to ask about that.
-What made the SDNY believe that Epstein may have been violating IML?
-Were there prior reports that he may have violated IML?
-Were there other investigations of Epstein's compliance with his obligations as a sex offender of concern to the SDNY or DOJ over the years?
-In my review of Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs obtained from the FAA, the two flights, one to Vienna, Austria and the second to Monaco, were not logged in FAA records.
-Was there any indication that Epstein took steps to conceal certain flights from being tracked by U.S. authorities? (the Vienna and Monaco flights were picked up from "crowd-sourcing").
-Does the SDNY believe Epstein had advanced knowledge he would be arrested?
-Would the SDNY provide any reports detailing how the FBI and NYPD took him into custody...details about the arrest itself? (e.g., Before or after he went through customs?)
Thank you kindly for your help,
Tom Volscho
