Re: I/M Epstein # 76318-054 From To Date Subject: Attachments: Hi All, (b)(6), (b)(7)(C) asked me last week to reach out to his attorneys to find out what they wanted us to do with the funds. I explained to defense counsel that our normal practice was to cut a check to the next-of-kin that we have on-file. However, given the circumstances and the discussion of Epstein's will in the media, I told defense counsel we wanted to make sure we didn't need to do anything differently here. Defense counsel told me they would get back to me. I haven't heard from them yet. Is there a deadline by which we need to release the funds? Thanks, (b)(6), (b)(7)(C) (b)(6), (b)(7)(C) Staff Attorney CLC New York Metropolitan Correctional Center 150 Park Row New York, NY 10007 p: 646-836-(b)(6), (b)(7)(C) f: 646-836-7665 >> (b)(6), (b)(7)(C) 8/28/2019 9:57 AM >>> Good Morning, I/M Epstein # 76318-054 appeared on our SENTRY RELEASE report.
