This document is a chain of emails between the FBI's Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) regarding the technical processing and transfer of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's properties in New York and the Virgin Islands. The correspondence reveals significant technical challenges, including the handling of encrypted devices, the volume of data (terabytes), and compatibility issues between forensic tools and the 'Relativity' e-discovery platform used by prosecutors. It mentions specific evidence including servers, hard drives from a 2007 search, and the inability to link emails to attachments like 'flight records' in the provided data dumps.
