I'm copying who is the lead case agent for the Epstein matter and who can better address your questions. Best regards, From: Sent: WednescnthDecember 22, 2021, 22:57 To: El=, (NY) (FBI) Subject: Fwd: The Dancing Hare I'm the current ALAT covering the Compact States for Legat Canberra. Physically I'm sitting in Koror right now and the below referenced ship was brought to my attention by a Palau official. I have no idea if you care about this or not but I thought I'd bring it to your attention just in case. If you need to search it, seize it, have someone talk to the crew or whatever, just let me know and we can probably facilitate things here on the island. If you don't care, that's fine too, I'll just pass along to the government that we don't have any interest. Just let me know what you need.

(CN) (FBI) Subject: RE: The Dancing Hare Hey I've learned more than I've wanted to know about yachts today. If the site I've linked below is to be believed, this yacht is RMI flagged and spend most of the past year docked in Westhaven, NZ, on the outskirts of Auckland. It may have arrived in Noumea in approximately mid-August 2021, but the tracking data is inconsistent so not sure how much movement there was in and out of Palau. A second site claimed that the ship last arrived in a Palan port on 15 December, where it remains. EFTA00155983 https://www.myshiptracking.com/vesselsidancing-hare-mmsi-538071262-imo-1002378 Other open sources corroborate that the ship spent a lot of time since at least the beginning of 2020 docked in various ports throughout NZ. Other reports mention the vessel being docked in Sydney for some period of time prior to arriving in NZ. The ship has been tracked with enthusiasm by conspiracy theorist-types due to its association with Ghislaine Maxwell (the ship used to be named after her prior to its name change). The current owner of the ship is a little murky, but I can chat with you about the phone if you're interested and have any time. https://www.stuff.co.nzinational/300040154/superyacht-with-connections-to-jeffrey-epstein-in-auckland In terms of the case agent, I think the best place to start would be with who appears to be the relevant case agent in New York who should be in a position to answer any questions about the case or about any relevant seizure orders. Let me know if you want to chat. a • Assistant Legal Attaché - Intelligence Legat Canberra Desk: + AUS Mobile: US Mobile: From: Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2021 11:48 AM To: Cc: (IOD) (FBI) ca (CN) (FBI) <->; (SD) (F8l) Subject: The Dancing Hare Hi M, I'm not sure you are in the office this week but if so, could I ask you to do a quick search for me? Jeffrey Epstein's yacht is parked down here in Palau. Apparently they've changed the name of it to The Dancing Hare. Below are the particulars: The Dancing Hare KK Super Yachts MMSI: 538071262 IMO: 1002378 Moonstone Enterprises LLC Not sure if the Case Agents care or if there is any kind of seizure order floating out there. Even if you could tell me a POC for the case I can send it their way. Thanks • EFTA00155984
