HODGE & FRANCOIS August __, 2012 Honorable Vincent Frazer Office of the Attorney General of the Virgin Islands Department of Justice St. Thomas, VI Via Hand Delivery and Email Re: Waiver/Adjustment of Travel Notice for J. Epstein Dear Attorney General Frazer: Thank you for your letter of August 14 confirming your decision to shorten the notice period applicable to Mr. Epstein, and to modify other conditions applicable to his travel pursuant to your department's authority under Act No. 7372. Your favorable consideration of our requests is appreciated. In reply to item #2 in your letter, and your advice that Mr. Epstein will be allowed to continue to notify your department when he is staying at one of his stateside homes, I enclose as you requested, a current list of Mr. Epstein's stateside homes, with the address for each. We also confirm that, in response to item #3, when Mr. Epstein is staying at the home of an associate, he will notify your department of the city and state or country in which he is temporarily staying, and of his period of stay in that jurisdiction. This adjustment in the reporting requirements is also appreciated. Finally, in response to your request #5(a), I enclose a copy of Mr. Epstein's only driver's license issued by any jurisdiction, namely his U.S. Virgin Islands Driver's license. In response to your requirement #5(c), I enclose a photocopy of Mr. Epstein's U.S. passport, which is the only passport issued to him. Finally, in response to #5(b), I am informed he has no other government issued identification cards, beyond the driver's license and passport, for which copies are enclosed. I hope the enclosed are satisfactory, and close with thanks for your efforts to insure that reasonable standards are applied to the notification process under the law, and to the exercise of discretion by you and your department as conferred by the Act. Sincerely, Maria Tankenson Hodge Ends. ATTORNEYS AT LAW 1340 TAARNEBERG, ST. THOMAS, VIRGIN ISLANDS PHONE: 340-774-6845 FAX: 340-776-8900 EMAIL: EFTA00584520 of the 21-day prior notice requirement under that Act with respect to Mr. Epstein's travels outside of the Virgin Islands, and I have shared it with my client. We appreciate the consideration given to Mr. Epstein's frequent travel requirements. However, we still have serious concerns regarding what we believe are undue restrictions placed on Mr. Epstein's travel and the conduct of his business and professional activities by certain of the specific conditions imposed as part of this waiver, and we respectfully request that your office reconsider those specific conditions.
