Summary
This email chain from December 2019 between the Kaplan Hecker & Fink legal team and redacted recipients discusses court transcripts and the administration of the Epstein Estate. Key revelations include the confirmation that Mark Epstein (Jeffrey's brother) was identified by Estate lawyers (Bennet Moskowitz) as the sole beneficiary of the estate. The emails also mention that the 'Feinberg draft protocol' (likely regarding the victim compensation fund) was received and considered a 'disaster' by Kaplan's team.

Received, thanks. And Alex, if you have the transcript from the prior proceeding before Judge Freeman, I'd be grateful if you could send it, though no rush at all on that — anytime early next week would be totally fine.

That is what Bennet Moskowitz said (I believe) at the earlier conference before M.J. Freeman
Alex: can you pls check the transcript? I know they have also said it to me directly and he certainly didn't disagree with me when I said it before J Failla.

This is helpful and interesting, thanks very much for sending. Among other things, notable that Judge Failla assumes, even were punitive damages to be excluded, a claim "for millions upon millions of dollars."
Separately, Robbie, I noticed near the end of the conference you mentioned, at p. 27, that: "They [the estate and/or the trustees?] have identified the sole beneficiary as Mr. Epstein's brother." I'm wondering if you might have a recollection of what the estate has said or represented to you about that? And if you recall whether any discussion of beneficiaries was in connection with the will versus the trust versus the estate, etc. Just if you feel comfortable sharing any of that information, of course—no obligation at all. And if it's more convenient to relay in real time, rather than drafting up an email, please don't hesitate to give a call. No emergency or rush, but did want to ask.
thanks,
