Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley, P.A. 2139 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. West Palm Beach, FL 33409 Re: Jeffrey Ewa Notification of Work Release Dear Mr. Scarola: By virtue of this letter, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida asks that you provide the following notice to your client 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 your client 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 you or your client have any questions regarding the work release program, please direct your inquiries to Captain David Sleeth, Palm Beach Sheriff's Office, 561-688-3595. Sincerely, R. Alexander Acosta United States Attorney By: Assistant U.S. Attorney EFTA00208281
