Summary

This document is a printout of an email chain from late 2015, likely written by Jeffrey Epstein (based on style and context of the House Oversight investigation into Apollo/Leon Black) to Melanie Spinella and Brad Wechsler. The sender details extensive financial forensic work they have performed, claiming to have found millions in dormant accounts and 'Eileen's drawer,' while criticizing the incompetence of the recipient's current team (specifically Brad Wechsler, Halperin, and Bronstein). The sender provides a 25-point list of urgent decisions regarding art, trusts, aircraft, and estate planning (mentioning Alex, Victoria, and Debra), and issues an ultimatum to either grant full control to the sender's team or leave the 'huge mess' to the current staff.

okay, its time for you to decide how you would like to move forward. ( fyi get your money from the 1031 . the screw up is only one of many,) If you decide to move foward on decanting. phaidon, note basis estate update , each requires many carefully orchestrated detailed steps. and precision . there are hundreds of millions in saving if done correctly and a huge mess if not. If you want me and my colleagues to do it , oversee it paper it and guide it, you should tell me. It is a big undertaking . If not, ok .. Brad and your crew
