You would pay the masseuses when they were done; correct? A. Some of them, yes, sir. Q. And the process that you went through for paying the masseuses was, generally, you would pay them by check; is that right? A. Most of the times I would pay them by check. If they request cash, I will go to my petty cash box and find if I had enough. f had $100 or $200, I will pay in cash, otherwise it was a process of making them sign a piece of paper and make a receipt, make the check, send a copy of the check back to the office in New York, and that's how they kept the records. Q. Okay. So the process would be someone would give a massage and sometimes they would come down and say to you, okay, I was there for an hour and you would pay them a check for $100; right? A. Yes. The massage, when I was working with Mr. Epstein, it was $100 flat. I didn't have to tip or no tips. It was $100. And it was on repeat girls that came to the house and they will have -- they didn't want to get paid that night and they -- I just kept they kept a record on it for the amount of times they were there. So if it was five massage, it was $500 check, $600 check, $200 checks. Q. Let's just break it down so we're clear. You would either pay them when they were leaving or they could run a tab; right? A. Yes, sir. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00018202
