An email from November 15, 2016, likely from Jeffrey Epstein to Leon Black (addressed as 'Leon'), forwarded to Melanie Spinella. The sender aggressively criticizes the management of Leon's family office, specifically disparaging employees Brad Wechsler and John Castrucci, while demanding payment for past and future work. The email outlines a restructuring plan involving tax strategies (CLATs, GRATs), the sale of assets (Artspace, boat, Miami property), and the shutdown of Regan Arts, while referencing the impact of 'Donald' (Trump) on foreign funds repatriation.
