illustrations will demonstrate that Epstein’s claim that he need not produce even a single
document is vastly overbroad.
a. Records Reflecting Communications with Maxwell
One simple example is the request for records reflecting communications between
Epstein and defendant Maxwell, including cellular telephone records. See Subpoena, § 7, 13.
Cell phone records, which would obviously have been sent to Epstein by his carrier, can be
easily authenticated by people other than Epstein — including representatives of the carrier or
others knowledgeable in cell phone records, See Sallah, 855 F. Supp, 2d at 1374 (requiring
production of contracts because “any contracts could be authenticated by someone other than

regularly-sent business records for which act of production claims are regularly rejected, See

company statements and bills would not cause Doe to incriminate himself”).
b. Bank Records Reflecting Payments
Another similar example is the request for financial records involving payments made to
defendant Maxwell. See Subpoena, 21. Here again, the simple act of producing the bank
records involved in such payments cannot be recorded as either testimonial or incriminating.
This is a case where it can be shown “with reasonable particularity that, at the time that the act of
production was sought to be compelled, . . . the materials were already known of, thereby
