I hope you are well. We have completed our review of videos from the Epstein Estate and flagged some additional videos
that could be potential CSAM. I know that you are visiting Patterson Belknap next Tuesday. Are you available to come
Hughes Hubbard's office again next Wednesday or Thursday?
Thanks very much,

Mr. Ruzumna,
Thank you for reaching out regarding the potential discovery of CSAM. I have some questions and I'd like to

you? I'm available the rest of today and pretty open tomorrow. My cell, , is the best way to

Subject: [EXTERNAL EMAIL] - Epstein Estate
Dear Special Agent
As you have apparently heard from AUSA we represent one of the two co-executors of the
Estate of Jeffrey Epstein. Hughes Hubbard & Reed represents the other. Recently, we have been responding to
requests/demands for documents in connection with a settlement that the Estate entered into with the
Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands and in response to subpoenas issued in litigations pending before the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Estate is not a party to the SDNY litigation.
As part of the Estate's document production obligations, we are reviewing approximately 1,100 videos that
were pulled from Epstein's emails and other files. Because of the potential existence of child pornography in
those videos, we worked out a protocol with the parties to whom we owed document production obligations,
and that protocol gave our reviewers protection and comfort in undertaking the review. The protocol was
submitted to the SDNY Court (Judge Jed Rakoff), who signed the "Order regarding Review of
Videomaterials." (Attached).
During the review yesterday, our co-counsel at Hughes Hubbard came across a video that may contain child
pornography. Apparently the relevant video was shared with Epstein by an individual who was convicted of a
child pornography-type offense and it.ac one or two topless women. In an abundance of caution we
halted the review and reached out to . Co-counsel at Hughes Hubbard (Dan Weiner and
McDonnell) can correct any misstatements in my description of the review since I heard the account
secondhand.
We would appreciate any guidance that you may have. We have been careful not to download videos to the
respective law firms' servers, but the videos were processed (without review) by a document collection vendor.
Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Daniel Ruzumna
