(FBI) Sent: Tue Jul 22 09:29:37 2008 Subject: Letter from Michael Tein Good morning: Mike Tein faxed the following letter to our office at 6:30 last night. It shows that Alex received a copy, but I thought I should scan and share with all of you. Tein claims that it is his "ethical duty" to stay the civil litigation. What I don't understand is how Epstein can perform his contractual obligations with respect to the victim litigation if he intends to stay all litigation until the agreement is fully performed. Indicting him would make our lives so much easier. The Jane Doe suit against us would become moot, we now have a guilty plea that can be used against Mr. Epstein, and if they try to raise the civil suits to impeach our witnesses, we can bring in the fact that he promised to pay them and then reneged. Please advise how you would like to proceed. <<080721 Tein Ltr to Villafana.pdf>> A. Marie Villafana Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S. Australian Ave, Suite 400 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 EFTA01659944
