This document is a lengthy email chain between the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) and the FBI's NY CART team regarding the forensic processing of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's properties in New York and the Virgin Islands. The correspondence highlights significant technical difficulties, including issues with Mac APFS formatting, the volume of data (one item with 500k emails), and friction between the agencies regarding the format of data for the 'Relativity' e-discovery platform. The USANYS expresses frustration with FBI delays and errors, eventually seeking budget approval ($85k-135k) to hire an outside vendor (BRG) to process the data instead of the FBI. The documents also mention a previous 2007 search and the deletion of 400TB of old FBI network data during a system upgrade in Feb 2020.
This document is an email chain between the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) and the FBI's NY Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) regarding the forensic processing of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's properties in New York and the US Virgin Islands. The correspondence reveals significant friction caused by technical incompatibility between the FBI's forensic tools and the USANYS's 'Relativity' review platform, exacerbated by delays due to COVID-19 and FBI network infrastructure updates. The document lists specific seized hardware (Dell servers, Sony laptops, various hard drives with NYC serial numbers) and concludes with USANYS seeking funding to hire a private vendor (BRG) to expedite the processing because they have lost confidence in the FBI's ability to deliver in a timely manner. While flight records are mentioned as a type of document contained within the evidence (specifically regarding the inability to link attachments to emails), no actual flight logs are present in this document.
This document is a lengthy email chain between the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) and the FBI's NY Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) regarding the forensic processing of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's properties in New York and the Virgin Islands. The correspondence reveals significant delays caused by technical incompatibility between FBI forensic tools and the US Attorney's review software (Relativity), as well as staffing shortages likely due to COVID-19. Key details include the existence of a specific Mac device containing over 500,000 emails, the seizure of Dell servers and Sony laptops, and the US Attorney's Office eventually seeking to hire a private vendor (BRG) for $85-135k to bypass FBI delays. A reference to 'flight records' on page 14 is a hypothetical example used to illustrate data linkage problems, not an actual flight log.
This document contains a series of email communications between the FBI's New York Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) regarding the processing of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's properties in New York and the Virgin Islands. The correspondence, dating from February to July 2020, details significant technical challenges in processing terabytes of data from various devices (Macs, Windows, servers, loose media) for legal discovery. Key issues include the incompatibility of forensic data with the US Attorney's 'Relativity' review platform, delays caused by COVID-19 and FBI network upgrades, and the need to identify specific device serial numbers for search warrants.
