Memorandum seeking Travel Authorization June 20, 2008
Operation Leap Year
TO From
Rolando Garcia, Deputy Chief A. Marie Villaf
Criminal Division Assistant U.S. A
Karen Atkinson, Chic
Northern Division
I. INTRODUCTION
This memorandum seeks travel authorization to travel to New York from June 19 to June 20,
2008, in connection with Operation Leap Year.
II. THE PROPOSED TRAVEL AND ITS PURPOSE
As you know, we plan to present a final indictment to the grand jury in approximately two
weeks. Since our original planned indictment, we have learned about a series of victims in New
York and the ssible involvement of Epstein's two New York-based assistants, and
The inclusion of New York victims would be a great benefit to the indictment, and
we would like to interview some key people in New York in order to include that evidence in the
indictment.
Accordingly, I propose to travel to New York on the afternoon of Thursday, June 19 to
conduct interviews on Friday, June 20, 2008.' FBI Special Agents Nesbitt Kuyrkendall and Jason
Richards also will be traveling, although they may stay longer.
First, we would like to interview She has been identified by two victims
as someone who recruited numerous others to Epstein's New York residence. We know that Lacerda
was going to Epstein's home when she was 14, and it is possible that she was going there as early
as 13. This trip is contingent upon approval from the Justice Department of our immunity request
for Lacerda. Yesterday I spoke with someone at the Witness Immunity Unit who stated that we
'I may decide to stay in New York on Friday night in order to see a college friend. If I do,
I will pay for the hotel room on Friday night and any difference in the airfares.
EXHIBIT B-132
Case No. 08-80736-CV-MARRA P-008379
EFTA00225378
should have the approval by early next week.'
In addition, a witness here in the Palm Beach area came forward recently to inform the FBI
about a link between Epstein and the MC Modeling Agency. The witness stated that Epstein and
the head of MC2, Jean Luc Brunel, worked together to obtain fraudulent visas to bring potential
models to the United States. The witness stated that Epstein selected some of the underage girls to
come to the United States even though Brunel never intended to use them as models so that Epstein
could engage in sexual activity with them. Brunel's name appears on several of the message pads
recovered during the search of Epstein's home. Some of the messages describe young girls that he
would like Epstein to meet (including a I6-year-old who would "teach Russian" to Epstein). The
FBI previously tried to interview Brunel, but he refused to speak with them. The Palm Beach
witness has told the FBI that a former MC2 employee is willing to speak with the FBI about the
fraud.
Yesterday, the FBI in New York arrested two Bear Steams employees for securities fraud
related to Bear Steams hedge funds involved in the subprime loan crisis. Epstein has been reported
as one ofthe creators of those hedge funds in financial news sources. The agents here are contacting
the New York agents to determine if Epstein is a target/subject of the New York investigation and
also to find out whether the two employees are cooperating and would be willing to speak with us.
For the foregoing reasons, I recommend that the Office approve the costs ofa hotel room and
a flight for my travel to New York.
-' Travel plans will not be made until the immunity is confirmed.

Subject: Trip to New York, etc.
We will not be interviewing in New York. Her attorney gave a copy of the grand jury subpoena to
Epstein's lawyers. They, in turn, promptly sent it on to Washington complaining, yet again, about me. So, I do
not want to do an interview with him present, and we will have to put her in the grand jury.
Given that, let's take the New York section out of the indictment so we can present the indictment Tuesday
morning. Then we can do interview in the afternoon with plans to supersede. It probably makes sense
to wait on the rest of the interviews until we hear whadMI has to say, so let's plan to do the New York trip
in a few weeks.
Bob — I will revise everything accordingly and send it down to you. We have another girl from Florida, so I
will replace our New York Jane Doe with her.

I understand that there has been a recent development with respect to Mr. Epstein in that he intends to plead guilty in
Florida state court on Monday pursuant to a deferred prosecution agreement with your office that has already been
executed. Since this would seem to obviate any need for Ms. Lacerda to testify, please let me know what is going on with

Dear Mr. White:
Please feel free to make your own travel arrangements, but if you would like Ms. Lacerda's travel costs to be
reimbursed, they must be made through the government's approved agency on the approved carriers.
Regarding the immunity, at this point, without a written proffer from you regarding the substance of her
anticipated testimony, I believe that the more prudent course will be to question Ms. Lacerda to determine the
limits of her Fifth Amendment exposure and, if necessary, to apply to the Court at that time. If you provide me
with a written proffer that summarizes her anticipated testimony and explains how she will be exposed to
criminal liability, then I can make the motion ahead of time. Your written statement would be treated as an

I've learned from Mr. Epstein's attorney that the plea is scheduled to take place on Monday morning. In understand, of
course, that you need confirmation of this before withdrawing the subpoena, but it might make logistical sense to consider
putting the contingent appearance off for another week at this point, to avoid our having to make an unnecessary trip to
Florida. Although I am confident that things will proceed as scheduled, should there be a problem, we would then be able
to appear at a later date.

I've learned from Mr. Epstein's attorney that the plea is scheduled to take place on Monday morning. In understand, of
course, that you need confirmation of this before withdrawing the subpoena, but it might make logistical sense to consider
pulling the contingent appearance off for another week at this point, to avoid our having to make an unnecessary trip to
Florida. Although I am confident that things will proceed as scheduled, should there be a problem, we would then be able
to appear at a later date.

I understand that there has been a recent development with respect to Mr. Epstein in that he intends to plead guilty in
Florida state court on Monday pursuant to a deferred prosecution agreement with your office that has already been
executed. Since this would seem to obviate any need for Ms. Lacerda to testify, please let me know what is going on

Dear Mr. White:
Please feel free to make your own travel arrangements, but if you would like Ms. Lacerda's travel costs to be
reimbursed, they must be made through the government's approved agency on the approved carriers.
Regarding the immunity, at this point, without a written proffer from you regarding the substance of her
anticipated testimony, I believe that the more prudent course will be to question Ms. Lacerda to determine the
limits of her Fifth Amendment exposure and, if necessary, to apply to the Court at that time. If you provide
me with a written proffer that summarizes her anticipated testimony and explains how she will be exposed to
criminal liability, then I can make tte motion ahead of time. Your written statement would be treated as an
attorney statement made in the course of confidential plea discussions and related negotiations, and would be
governed by Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(0 and Fed. R. Evid. 410.

Hi Jeff and Alex — We just finished interviewing three of the girls. I wish you could have been there to see how
much this has affected them.
One girl broke down sobbing so that we had to stop the interview twice within a 20 minute span. She regained
her composure enough to continue a short time, but she said that she was having nightmares about Epstein
coming after her and she started to break down again, so we stopped the interview.
The second girl, who has a baby girl of her own, told us that she was very upset about the 18 month deal she
had read about in the paper. She said that 18 months was nothing and that she had heard that the girls could get
restitution, but she would rather not get any money and have Epstein spend a significant time in jail.
The FBI's victim-witness coordinator attended and she has arranged for counseling for several of the girls.
Please reach out to Alice to make her decision. These girls deserve so much better than they have received so
far, and I hate feeling that there is nothing I can do to help them.
We have four more girls coming in tomorrow. Can I persuade you to attend?

Hi Jeff and Bob — I am hoping that you have an update from Drew. I wanted to fill you in on recent events.
Yesterday we did the first half of the grand jury presentation on the indictment. Many of the grand jurors
expressed thanks for our return. After a break as 1 walked into the room, I overheard one juror telling another
that he had been concerned that we were going to "whitewash" this case and not charge it.
Epstein's lawyers arc using the civil lawsuits as an excuse to harass a number of the victims. One girl, who is a
scholarship student at a local university, was hauled into the Dean of Students office to be served with a
subpoena for a deposition. It is scheduled for Monday.
A national crime victims service organization has received a grant from the Justice Department to provide legal
representation to victims. They have agreed to provide counsel for our victims. The only problem is that the
lawyers are located in Maryland. But they will try to find pro bono lawyers here to help out.
I also told Bob that one of our victims tried to commit suicide last week. The FBI's victim-witness coordinator
is doing her best to get counseling for all of our needy victims, but I just can't stress enough how important it is

Ili everyone — I just spoke with the subpoenaed victim. The subpoena was issued in connection with the state
criminal case, which, as you know, doesn't involve most of the victims in our case (including the girl who was
subpoenaed). The state attorney's office told us from the beginning that their case has been resolved. He is
going to plead to the solicitation of adults for prostitution charge, so this seems to be a clear effort to find out
about our case through the state case.

Subject: Epstein
Hi all - So sorry to bother you on a Saturday, but I am hoping that I can persuade you to reach out to Drew
about Epstein's investigators harassing the girls. Nesbitt received a frantic call today about Epstein's
investigators bothering the parents of one of the victims. According to the victim, he demanded to see the
victim and when he saw her, he told the victim that they had video of the girl and were planning to put it on the
internet. We don't believe that Epstein actually has video of any of the girls, and Nesbitt has calmed the girl
down, but this activity seems to be getting more aggressive. Remember also that Epstein is using the state
criminal case to subpoena depositions of victims in the federal case (who are not part of the state indictment) to
get information about our investigation. These actions do not seem consistent with what Epstein's attorneys are
supposed to be trying to work out with Drew in DC. Any chance Drew will ask Epstein's people to call off
their dogs until he makes his decision?

Memorandum seeking Travel Authorization June 20, 2008
Operation Leap Year
TO From
Rolando Garcia, Deputy Chief A. Marie Villaf
Criminal Division Assistant U.S. A
Karen Atkinson, Chic
Northern Division
I. INTRODUCTION
This memorandum seeks travel authorization to travel to New York from June 19 to June 20,
2008, in connection with Operation Leap Year.
II. THE PROPOSED TRAVEL AND ITS PURPOSE
As you know, we plan to present a final indictment to the grand jury in approximately two
weeks. Since our original planned indictment, we have learned about a series of victims in New
York and the ssible involvement of Epstein's two New York-based assistants, and
The inclusion of New York victims would be a great benefit to the indictment, and
we would like to interview some key people in New York in order to include that evidence in the
indictment.
Accordingly, I propose to travel to New York on the afternoon of Thursday, June 19 to
conduct interviews on Friday, June 20, 2008.' FBI Special Agents Nesbitt Kuyrkendall and Jason
Richards also will be traveling, although they may stay longer.
First, we would like to interview She has been identified by two victims
as someone who recruited numerous others to Epstein's New York residence. We know that Lacerda
was going to Epstein's home when she was 14, and it is possible that she was going there as early
as 13. This trip is contingent upon approval from the Justice Department of our immunity request
for Lacerda. Yesterday I spoke with someone at the Witness Immunity Unit who stated that we
'I may decide to stay in New York on Friday night in order to see a college friend. If I do,
I will pay for the hotel room on Friday night and any difference in the airfares.
EXHIBIT B-132
Case No. 08-80736-CV-MARRA P-008379
EFTA00225378
should have the approval by early next week.'
In addition, a witness here in the Palm Beach area came forward recently to inform the FBI
about a link between Epstein and the MC Modeling Agency. The witness stated that Epstein and
the head of MC2, Jean Luc Brunel, worked together to obtain fraudulent visas to bring potential
models to the United States. The witness stated that Epstein selected some of the underage girls to
come to the United States even though Brunel never intended to use them as models so that Epstein
could engage in sexual activity with them. Brunel's name appears on several of the message pads
recovered during the search of Epstein's home. Some of the messages describe young girls that he
would like Epstein to meet (including a I6-year-old who would "teach Russian" to Epstein). The
FBI previously tried to interview Brunel, but he refused to speak with them. The Palm Beach
witness has told the FBI that a former MC2 employee is willing to speak with the FBI about the
fraud.
Yesterday, the FBI in New York arrested two Bear Steams employees for securities fraud
related to Bear Steams hedge funds involved in the subprime loan crisis. Epstein has been reported
as one ofthe creators of those hedge funds in financial news sources. The agents here are contacting
the New York agents to determine if Epstein is a target/subject of the New York investigation and
also to find out whether the two employees are cooperating and would be willing to speak with us.
For the foregoing reasons, I recommend that the Office approve the costs ofa hotel room and
a flight for my travel to New York.
-' Travel plans will not be made until the immunity is confirmed.

We will not be interviewing in New York. Her attorney gave a copy of the grand jury subpoena to
Epstein's lawyers. They, in turn, promptly sent it on to Washington complaining, yet again, about me. So, I do
not want to do an interview with him present, and we will have to put her in the grand jury.
Given that, let's take the New York section out of the indictment so we can present the indictment Tuesday
morning. Then we can do interview in the afternoon with plans to supersede. It probably makes sense
to wait on the rest of the interviews until we hear whadMI has to say, so let's plan to do the New York trip
in a few weeks.
Bob — I will revise everything accordingly and send it down to you. We have another girl from Florida, so I
will replace our New York Jane Doe with her.

executed. Since this would seem to obviate any need for Ms. Lacerda to testify, please let me know what is going on with

Dear Mr. White:
Please feel free to make your own travel arrangements, but if you would like Ms. Lacerda's travel costs to be
reimbursed, they must be made through the government's approved agency on the approved carriers.
Regarding the immunity, at this point, without a written proffer from you regarding the substance of her
anticipated testimony, I believe that the more prudent course will be to question Ms. Lacerda to determine the
limits of her Fifth Amendment exposure and, if necessary, to apply to the Court at that time. If you provide me
with a written proffer that summarizes her anticipated testimony and explains how she will be exposed to
criminal liability, then I can make the motion ahead of time. Your written statement would be treated as an
attorney statement made in the course of confidential plea discussions and related negotiations, and would be

I've learned from Mr. Epstein's attorney that the plea is scheduled to take place on Monday morning. In understand, of
course, that you need confirmation of this before withdrawing the subpoena, but it might make logistical sense to consider
putting the contingent appearance off for another week at this point, to avoid our having to make an unnecessary trip to
Florida. Although I am confident that things will proceed as scheduled, should there be a problem, we would then be able

Hi Jeff and Alex — We just finished interviewing three of the girls. I wish you could have been there to see how
much this has affected them.
One girl broke down sobbing so that we had to stop the interview twice within a 20 minute span. She regained
her composure enough to continue a short time, but she said that she was having nightmares about Epstein
coming after her and she started to break down again, so we stopped the interview.
The second girl, who has a baby girl of her own, told us that she was very upset about the 18 month deal she
had read about in the paper. She said that 18 months was nothing and that she had heard that the girls could get
restitution, but she would rather not get any money and have Epstein spend a significant time in jail.
The FBI's victim-witness coordinator attended and she has arranged for counseling for several of the girls.
Please reach out to Alice to make her decision. These girls deserve so much better than they have received so
far, and I hate feeling that there is nothing I can do to help them.
We have four more girls coming in tomorrow. Can I persuade you to attend?

Hi Jeff and Bob — I am hoping that you have an update from Drew. I wanted to fill you in on recent events.
Yesterday we did the first half of the grand jury presentation on the indictment. Many of the grand jurors
expressed thanks for our return. After a break as 1 walked into the room, I overheard one juror telling another
that he had been concerned that we were going to "whitewash" this case and not charge it.
Epstein's lawyers arc using the civil lawsuits as an excuse to harass a number of the victims. One girl, who is a
scholarship student at a local university, was hauled into the Dean of Students office to be served with a
subpoena for a deposition. It is scheduled for Monday.
A national crime victims service organization has received a grant from the Justice Department to provide legal
representation to victims. They have agreed to provide counsel for our victims. The only problem is that the
lawyers are located in Maryland. But they will try to find pro bono lawyers here to help out.
I also told Bob that one of our victims tried to commit suicide last week. The FBI's victim-witness coordinator
is doing her best to get counseling for all of our needy victims, but I just can't stress enough how important it is

for these girls to have a resolution in this case. The "please be patient" answer is really wearing thin, especially
when Epstein's group is still on the attack while we are forced to wait on the sidelines.
Your guidance is needed.
Thank you.

Subject: Victim Subpoena
Ili everyone — I just spoke with the subpoenaed victim. The subpoena was issued in connection with the state
criminal case, which, as you know, doesn't involve most of the victims in our case (including the girl who was
subpoenaed). The state attorney's office told us from the beginning that their case has been resolved. He is
going to plead to the solicitation of adults for prostitution charge, so this seems to be a clear effort to find out
about our case through the state case.

Subject: Epstein
Hi all - So sorry to bother you on a Saturday, but I am hoping that I can persuade you to reach out to Drew
about Epstein's investigators harassing the girls. Nesbitt received a frantic call today about Epstein's
investigators bothering the parents of one of the victims. According to the victim, he demanded to see the
victim and when he saw her, he told the victim that they had video of the girl and were planning to put it on the
internet. We don't believe that Epstein actually has video of any of the girls, and Nesbitt has calmed the girl
down, but this activity seems to be getting more aggressive. Remember also that Epstein is using the state
criminal case to subpoena depositions of victims in the federal case (who are not part of the state indictment) to
get information about our investigation. These actions do not seem consistent with what Epstein's attorneys are
supposed to be trying to work out with Drew in DC. Any chance Drew will ask Epstein's people to call off
their dogs until he makes his decision?

Hi Nesbitt — I contacted Jeff and Bob about the harassment issue and Jeff also recommended calling the police.
When Twiler calls on Monday can she provide the non-emergency police numbers for the local police
departments where the girls are located and ask them to call the police directly if they are getting harassed? I
think we should be documenting this stuff with someone other than you.
Thank you.
