This document contains a series of email correspondences from 2016, likely between Jeffrey Epstein and Leon Black (addressed as 'Leon'), mediated partly through Melanie Spinella. The text reveals significant friction regarding financial management, with the sender (Epstein) aggressively defending his 'high fees' by claiming to have generated billions in value while criticizing the 'outrageous incompetence' of Leon's family office staff (including Alan, Joslin, and others) regarding IRS audits, valuation discounts, and tax planning structures like CLATs and 1031 exchanges. The document includes specific references to Empire Valuation, PWC, BDO, and Akin Gump.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023323.jpg

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023322.jpg
An email dated November 15, 2016, from 'Larry' (likely Jeffrey Epstein) to Leon (likely Leon Black), forwarded to Melanie Spinella. The sender harshly criticizes Leon's management of his family office, specifically disparaging employees Brad Wechsler, John Castrucci, and Joslin. The email outlines a massive 'clean up' operation involving estate planning, selling assets (Artspace, Regan Arts, boats), and restructuring trusts, while referencing Donald Trump's impact on foreign funds repatriation.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023321.jpg
This document contains a heated email chain involving Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias jeevacation@gmail.com) and likely Leon Black ('Leon'). Epstein demands an annual fee of $40 million for his services, citing past financial benefits of $1.5-2 billion he secured for Leon, while heavily criticizing the 'incompetence' of Leon's family office staff (Joslin, Brad). The chain includes a forwarded email from attorney Alan Halperin regarding an IRS response and a valuation discount from Empire Valuation, as well as a note about a GIV aircraft being 'completed'.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023319.jpg
This document contains a series of email fragments, primarily from Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias jeevacation@gmail.com) to Melanie Spinella, likely as a conduit for 'Leon' (presumably Leon Black). The emails detail significant friction regarding financial management, payment disputes, and staffing decisions involving Brad Wechsler and others. Epstein warns against giving the law firm Paul Weiss access to the 'entire story' and defends the financial structures he set up for Leon's protection.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023311.jpg
A highly contentious email sent to Jeffrey Epstein (jeevacation@gmail.com) on January 6, 2016. The sender (likely a high-level financial advisor or associate like Leon Black, though 'Leon' is addressed in the text, creating ambiguity) complains bitterly about a fee dispute, claiming to have saved Epstein over $600 million in taxes while only being offered $20 million in compensation. The document details complex financial maneuvers involving entities like Phaidon, BRH, and Athene, and harshly criticizes Epstein's staff, specifically Eileen Alexandersson and Brad Wechsler, for incompetence.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023309.jpg
A letter from Jeffrey Epstein to 'Leon' (likely Leon Black) expressing grievance over a fee dispute. Epstein claims he is owed 50-60 million dollars for financial services, including tax strategies and the 'Phaidon' transaction, but was only offered 20 million after intervention by Brad Karp. Epstein lists numerous financial successes he achieved for the client, including finding millions in dormant accounts and drawers, fixing tax issues, and restructuring contracts, to justify his higher fee.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023307.jpg
This document contains a series of emails from Jeffrey Epstein (alias 'jeevacation') detailing high-level financial interventions and tax strategies. It includes a draft letter, likely intended for Leon Black, in which Epstein claims to have saved $600 million in taxes while heavily criticizing the incompetence of staff members Brad Wechsler and Eileen Alexandersson. The documents also track large payments to 'Gratitude America' and the FTC, along with the discovery of millions of dollars in overlooked assets and deductions.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023304.jpg
The document contains a detailed list of financial, legal, and administrative tasks regarding trusts, investments, and office management, followed by two emails mainly criticizing the management of a family office.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023299.jpg
This document contains a fragmented email chain involving Jeffrey Epstein and Leon (likely Leon Black), sent via Melanie Spinella. Epstein aggressively critiques the management of Leon's $6 billion family office/corporation, citing a lack of oversight, excessive bank accounts (managed by 'Eilleen'), and low overhead relative to income ($250-500M/year). Epstein demands a fee structure, suggests 'creative ways' to characterize payments, and asserts that the family office 'needs a daddy' to manage the chaotic financial operations.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023296.jpg
This document contains a series of emails from late 2015, seemingly written by Jeffrey Epstein (implied by context and associates), directing his staff and advisors on complex financial, legal, and estate matters. The emails detail a 25-point restructuring plan involving art collections (Gagosian, Phaidon), aviation assets, trusts, and 'foreign Apollo' interests, while frequently mentioning 'Leon' (likely Leon Black). The sender expresses significant frustration with advisors Brad Wechsler and Joslin regarding their understanding of a '180 million dollar number' and the quality of their financial presentations.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023295.jpg
This document contains a series of emails from November 2015 involving Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias jeevacation@gmail.com), Melanie Spinella, and advisors. The correspondence details complex financial maneuvers, including high-interest loans ($50k/day interest), the creation of trusts ('apo1'), and asset transfers involving 'Leon' (likely Leon Black).

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023294.jpg
This document contains a series of emails from November 2015, likely written by Jeffrey Epstein to Melanie Spinella and other associates of Leon Black/Apollo Global Management. The emails discuss complex financial restructuring involving Phaidon, Art Space, and various trusts, as well as the payoff of a 'Leon note' accumulating $50k/day in interest. The sender expresses concern over a $100 million overseas transfer involving Gagosian, demands a formalized fee agreement, and suggests removing 'Debra' from access to a private plane.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023292.jpg
An email from Jeffrey Epstein to 'Leon' (via Melanie Spinella) dated February 24, 2015. Epstein critiques the management of Leon's family office, describing it as a $6 billion corporation with insufficient oversight. He quotes a previous memo from February 2014 where he suggested hiring Larry Delson to manage the office ('needs a daddy') and warned about the increasing public profile.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023291.jpg
This document is a printout of an email chain originating in October 2015, forwarded by Jeffrey Epstein to himself in 2018. It details a comprehensive 'constructive list' of 25 action items regarding the restructuring of Epstein's assets, including the sale of a plane and boat, estate planning involving 'Alex' and 'Victoria', tax strategies involving Apollo and Phaidon, and the consolidation of bank accounts. Epstein instructs his assistant Lesley Groff to format this list specifically for 'Leon' (likely Leon Black) to review line by line.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023286.jpg
This document is a fragment of correspondence, likely an email from an advisor named Heather, discussing high-value art transactions with a client named Leon (likely Leon Black). The text details Leon's preference for using a specific commercial exchange agent rather than a gallery to maintain strict confidentiality during the purchase of Cezanne paintings and a previous purchase of a Calder. The author discusses the sales tax implications, the agent's New York resale certificate status, and plans to verify audit risks with a lawyer from the firm Herrick.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023284.jpg
This document contains a series of emails, culminating on October 26, 2015, from Jeffrey Epstein (implied by context and tone) to Melanie Spinella and Brad Wechsler. The emails aggressively advise on the restructuring of Leon Black's family office ('Elysium'), recommending the firing of almost all staff except Heather, selling the publishing company Phaidon, and addressing significant financial issues regarding a private jet and art loans. Epstein criticizes the current management as a 'failed experiment' and a 'mess,' specifically mentioning Leon Black's decisions and suggesting Brad Wechsler replace a manager named Richard.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023281.jpg
This document contains a series of emails from 2015, primarily involving Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias 'Jeffrey E.' and email 'jeevacation@gmail.com'), Melanie Spinella, and attorney Brad S. Karp. The correspondence details a strategy to hire former law enforcement (FBI, Scotland Yard) to investigate and intimidate an unnamed woman in London or New York, discussing 'presenting terms' and checking if she has contacted authorities. It also references business matters involving 'Leon' (likely Leon Black) and concerns about email security on an 'Apollo server.'
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023276.jpg
This email from Heather to Brad, Jeffrey, and others, dated May 11, 2015, discusses a proposed change to a Picasso agreement by Gagosian regarding the liabilities of Narrows/AP Narrows if the agreement is assigned. It addresses concerns about assigning to entities without assets and proposes solutions involving Leon's guarantee to the bank and side agreements with trusts. The email also briefly mentions funding an art partnership with $100 million in unencumbered art and an additional $20 million investment.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023274.jpg
This document contains three emails from April and May 2015, sent to Melanie Spinella, likely from Jeffrey Epstein (based on context clues like 'Bedford', 'Mark', and the authoritative tone regarding high-level finances). The emails reveal significant tension regarding financial management, specifically questioning 'bidco bank accounts,' loan documents, and a 'third year' of payment for services the sender considers 'rarefied art.' The sender expresses frustration over 190 million dollars sitting unused in cash and criticizes associates named Brad, Ada, and Leon for negligence and lack of answers.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023271.jpg
This document contains a series of emails from March 2015 involving Melanie Spinella and a sender signed as 'leon' (likely Leon Black) and another sender (contextually Jeffrey Epstein) negotiating significant financial fees. The text outlines a demand for $50 million for the year (or $30 million for a partial year) in exchange for advisory services related to tax, art partnerships, and estate management. The correspondence includes specific references to 'Phaidon sale', 'Carlyns art partnership', and building a family office from scratch, alongside flight arrival details at White Plains airport.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023266.jpg
This document contains an email chain involving Jeffrey Epstein and associates of Leon Black (addressed as 'Leon'). The text includes a 2016 email from Alan Halperin to Epstein regarding a valuation discount, and a lengthy, contentious 2015 email from Epstein to Leon (via Melanie Spinella). In the 2015 email, Epstein characterizes Leon's family wealth as a '$6 billion dollar corp' with massive income but insufficient overhead/oversight, defends his 'high fees' by claiming to have generated billions in benefits, and aggressively criticizes Leon's office staff and financial management decisions.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023264.jpg
This document is an email (likely from Jeffrey Epstein to Leon Black, forwarded to Melanie Spinella) dated November 15, 2016. The sender harshly criticizes the recipient's management of their family office, estate, and staff (specifically naming Brad Wechsler, Joslin, and Josh Castrucci), while referencing complex financial strategies involving tax planning, art foundations, and a 'foreign funds repatriation plan' potentially impacted by 'Donald' (likely Trump). The text includes a list of high-level financial action items at the top and uses offensive language to describe the recipient's children and the state of their affairs.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023256.jpg
This document contains an email chain ending in March 2017 where Jeffrey Epstein ('jeffrey E.') requests various financial and legal documents regarding his assets, including Phaidon, Art Space, Regan Arts, and an L.A. house. The chain includes a forwarded email from December 2015 containing a severe critique of an associate named Brad (likely Brad Wechsler), accusing him of incompetence, mismanagement of financial details, and obstructing access to information about Phaidon and tax deductions. The 2015 email also disparages the office staff as 'Elysium misfits' and highlights significant operational failures in IT and financial reporting.
