U.S. Department of Justice United States Attorney Southern District of Florida 500 South Australian Ave., Suite 400 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Facsimile: December 8, 2008 VIA HAND DELIVERY Ms. Re: Jeffrey Epstein : Notification of Work Release Dear Ms. Smythe: By virtue of this letter, the United States Attorney's Office hereby provides you with notice that the U.S. Attorney's Office has learned that Jeffrey Epstein has applied to participate in the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office's ("PBSO") work release program, and PBSO has granted that application. Mr. Epstein is reportedly working for The Florida Science Foundation at 250 South Australian Avenue, Suite 1404, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. After work each day, Mr. Epstein returns to the Palm Beach County Stockade. While outside the Stockade, Mr. Epstein is electronically monitored via a GPS system and an ankle bracelet. Pursuant to the work release rules, Mr. Epstein is to go directly from the Stockade to his office, remain at the office throughout the work day, and then return directly to the Stockade. We regret that we were unable to inform you of these developments prior to Mr. Epstein's release, but our Office was never notified of Mr. Epstein's application, and we only learned of his release more than six weeks after he began participating in the program. Should have any questions regarding the work release rogram, please direct your inquiries to Captain Palm Beach Sheriff's Office, R. Alexander Acosta United States Attorney By: EFTA00220886
