To: Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation@gmail.com <mailto:je=vacation@gmail.com» To: Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation@gmail.com> Transaction complete ! <=1" When we had our m=eting in your home in Bedford</=pan>. You asked for my help. I told you multiple times that i =hought it a bad idea, i preferred to have no financial interaction.=C2 I dont have many f=iends and didnt want mon=y to interefer with ours= For five years you had only Eileen Alexandersson managing your accounting , lega=, investments. reporting, trusts etc. When I told you in no un=ertain terms that i thought she was incompetent you admonished me fo= " speaking out of both sides of my mouth " . With r=gard Brad, there i no " both sides. ". I have maintained s=nce day one that he was unsuited for the job. When you asked me to h=lp convince him to take the role , promising him a postion to manage investments I sent you a=note saying pay up and get first class people. I have reieterated the same message for over = year now. . Brad , not me was tasked with hiring new people a=d you wanted him to take ownership of the staff, in may you told hi= in my presence that he had had six months and had not hired anyone. . With Brad out of the office and u=able to run his usual interference , the level of his utter =AO incompetence was brought clearly, front and center. He may=be a step up from Eileen, but if he is , then it is certai=ly not by much, A m=gjor difference is Eileen knew she was over her head. =AO Though you and I have spe=t many many hours discussing the importance of details and mechanics. =ith regard Phaidon =1 was not shown one document , not one.!! Brad wanted to keep =t private between he and his so called " advisors " however as he w=s out of the office during the most important transaction of the year, =AO I did get to spend time with jos=in Joe and john, - the situation in your office=C2 is totally ludicrous - to summarize - the list I =rovided to Brad last December - of things I th=ught were a priority to get done - still remains =n the whole unresolved. THE IT, is still desperately n=eded- reporting flawed cumbersome and inaccurate . all done by hand =s one -off exercises , - airplane: re structure, (my only =uggested priority in june<Apan> ) is really ,no further ahead, consultants EFTA_R1_01589826 EFTA02476371 up the kazoo but nothing =t all done.( the office was told by Brad not to share the outsie proposals with me =AO - brad has no idea even as to what questions to ask. he knows little of=finance, is bullshitted over by almost everyone in the office. he is=a little man , using your power, to appear larger . Eileen was self aware =nough to know she was over her head , that is a huge difference. =AO bad info is rampant a simple emblematic example- 3 mi=lion in deductions Imwer taken fo= art space but on closer examination it turns out they cannot =e used at all. ( ZERO benefit ) though you will be told yes they wer= deducted on the return they said that is the question you were focu=ed on ! " were they deducted " not -" is =here a benefit " !! I asked for the balance sheet =nd P and L for =span>Regan arts , a basic first step in order to=check your financials. "sorry we never got one?" th=ugh 9.8 million invested, no p&I, nothing!, a constructio= project run amok, no budget, the coo fired after only 3 mont=s. , no clue . fyi<=span> artspace finan=ials are also a total mess. ( no receivables ??) =AO As in your words probably your closest friend and in order =o turn the page. I hope the following to be constructive He=e is a list of things I think would be in your interest=C2 to get done asap .but definitely not by me . =A0i suggest you form new grats. , hire a high level tax p=rtner. use your trading accounts as they remain a =aramount requirement 16 months after i emailed you re their importan=e. THe Phaidon transaction papered and =A0 structured as contemplated DOES NOT WORK , its as simple as that. =DOES NOT !! I suggest again that you re-do =bank loans. no need to pay interest at higher rates on boat or plane= . as Richard is now no longer trustee. re- do will, =AO make <=pan>suydam=/span> executor , with Barry, and john as back up. =AO pay 1 million a year for executor role. get rid of Judy=/span> Black trust, deal with gifts and their tax returns, . review amount= to kids at fixed ages. put more protections in for AlexVictoria. , distribute some money to k=ds let them make decisions. , decide art division with c=ildren in attendance . have fire drill done on estate. fill out estate returns as if you and Debra died today, choose advisers - rick=bronstein said the only 1040 he ever filled out was his own. Halperin ha= a conflict that should be addressed., A strategy of the use of art =hould be implemented.. you have tax consultants it consultant=. plane operation consultant.. boat consultants. architects, =ighting , art, legal, . foundation , deal with TRA , BRH , rationalize i=vestments. cash flow. reporting, gaming disclosures. foreign, gift. = prepare tax projections for 15 and 16, . deal with neg basis ( tufts gain= debt financed. art partnership, pledges. sell stock , art, de=l with phaidon debt.=C2 athene,? =income , capital , foreign , exit, corporate, insurance regs, out and inbo=nd issues, basis, appropriate discount rates. ? =AO terminations. control. , qualified dividends. corporate tolls, =AO inversion rules. , grat</=pan> issues, short swing and other sec disclosures, I s=ill think you might consider a Rothshcildr/span> bank transaction they have 150 b and =AO a distribution network with no products , private bank Rockefeller Rothschild. financial service. deal with UK visa issue sooner rather than=later. we can talk about Rowen request re Athene , complex =A0 2 billion in taxes on transaction. ?! =C2 the facts as i see them in June and then again Sept,=C2 we both agreed to a 50% of phaidon<=span> payout., then only after weeks, when=you delayed any detailed discussion of money wanting to give the iss=e a thoughtful response ( which I fully understand ) . you uniraterally changed changed our agreement.. 5m would be reserved=for the future ? . and out of the remaining 15m ,? i would receive o=Iy a third. ( note : I'm confident that both the deb= , and the artspace =nvestment will also lead to a write off of another 30 m. plus=C2 ) In my dining room ,you were surprised when I said that i req=ire most people to pay their advisory fee up front so th=t I am assured that I will be properly compensated for my work when =trategies are implemented . you may recall that you appeared o=fended and said " are you suggesting that i would =o back on my word " I said no , of course not ! you are my clos=st of friends ,but my experience is that when amounts get largr, people tend to get unhappy when it actually comes time for them to pay <=r> I included in this letter the email i rent to you on April 15, the day i was examining your ret=rns It laid out my understanding of the compensation for a transacti=n of the magnitude to the penny of the one just completed. though th= number was great it was clear. When it appeared that the details co=ld now be worked out I was the first to say, it is too much money,=C2 however. 2 EFTA_R1_01589827 EFTA02476372 From day zero I proposed to disc=unt to 50 - 60 million the fair price of the transaction=just completed . including Phai.on. . though this amount was already substantial'= less than our agreed and negotiated formula. - I was n=ver told that this was out of range. in fact, =AO alternative methods of payment . plane, or an -in-kind payment w=re discussed ( ie=C2 including keeping the 30m portion of fee outstanding til= March ) ,I provided as you specifically requested a detailed =C2 step by step execution plan and reviewed all documents that i =as given access to. Phaidon</=pan> was not forthcoming ) in order to make my many cor=ections . I was then told that Alans involvement warranted a discount .=C2 Even in the best of light , though it is beyond question=that not one time in the three years of his retainer ha= he ever =roposed a unique idea. (including any wayt to deal with the use issue o= debras death ,or even t=e most basic review of your largest asset by far , the BRH agreement. ) O.K. - lets say=he made a contribution to the plan and stretch reality beyond the pa=e and say it was 50 %. though no one could posit such a large =mount unless they were wearing a brightly colored clown suit. , =AO the payment associated with the deal was known . It had bot= sent in writing and spoken about on the phone numerous times = a detailed execution plan was provided . then and only=then after all was laid out for the group I was told that after a nu=ber of conversations with brad eileens drawer.. went through cash flows for phaidon showing that john murphy is not an accountant. redid your gagosian contract , . organized structure in case of divorce. set up gift trust. stopped ada from including multiple times things not in your interest. dealt wit= bad sales tax use tax income tax . created 8 millino in deductions ,500k in mistakes , found bank of scot=and fbar problems= .. reorg bad art purchases , funds taken, charitable decisions , helped with fincancial statements, gaming commission</=pan>.. boat deductions, rescued stock from grats.. =AO may 1 after months of brad not finding anyone i sent an email saying you would have to pay more.. on april 15.
