The purpose of these undercover conversations will be to attempt identification of the subject, identification of any co-conspirators, determine if any personal identifying information of the victims has been obtained or posted, and determine if any additional overt steps have been taken by any individuals targeting the victims. Due to the immediate risk to the life of the victims, both named and those unnamed, and the innate difficulties of identifying subjects and conducting information on the Darknet, OCE #10179 will be conducting immediate cameo appearances on the Darknet. In the event that mitigation of the threat or further investigation requires additional contact by the subject, a Group II UCO proposal will be initiated. ♦♦ UNCLASSIFIED 2 EFTA00129369 9A-NY-3144791 Serial 3 UomignDisscnimmonlicocsiate UNCLASSIFIEDHREL TO M, FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION Electronic Communication Title: (U) Date: 08/02/2019 CC: (UC) (UC) From: NEW YORK NY-C19 Contact: Approved By: A/SSA Drafted By: Case ID #: 9A-NY-3144791 31E-NY-3027571 (U) UNKNOWN SUBJECT; victim; AGGRAVATED/OVERT THREATS (U) EPSTEIN, JEFFREY; CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING FOREIGN DISSEMINATION LEGAL STATEMENT (U//FOUO) Pursuant to Attorney General Guidelines, for Domestic FBI Operations (AGG-Dom), Part VI.B.1.d., the dissemination of the enclosed information is in the interest of the national security of the United States.
