Event Details

This document is a chain of emails between the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) and forensic/technical teams from February and March 2020 regarding the logistical chaos of processing digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's New York mansion and Virgin Islands property. The correspondence highlights significant technical failures, including the inability to link emails to their attachments (using flight records as a specific example of this failure), the discovery of hard drives from a previous 2007 search, and the processing of over 1.3 million documents. The prosecutors express frustration over the disorganization ('dumped into one big pile') and the lack of proper labeling (CART numbers) needed to prepare for discovery and defense counsel review.
