Event Details

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.
