This document serves as a narrative summary of the tense negotiations between the US Attorney's Office (Acosta, Sloman) and Jeffrey Epstein's legal team (Lefkowitz, Starr) around 2008. It details how Epstein's lawyers aggressively pressured the government to prevent victim notification, leading to a secret non-prosecution agreement while the FBI briefly continued investigating in NY and NM. The text notes that in 2013, the government finally admitted they backed down on victim notifications due to objections from Epstein's attorneys.
