EDWARDS: We're going to put something on the record about -- well, we'll do it this way -- MR. REINHART: Do it at the end, after we get him -- whatever you want. It's your show MR. EDWARDS: Okay. There were don't even think Mr. Willits is aware of this. There was a subpoena duces tecum for this witness, as well as the previous witness, which was another pilot, Dave Rogers, and that duces tecum was to bring the flight logs related from 1998 through 2005. What was produced at the previous deposition were flight logs from 2002 through 2005, and now Mr. Reinhart has agreed to produce the remainder of the flight logs requested, those going from 1998 through 2002. MR. REINHART: Correct. They're pilot logs, not flight logs. There are other records we indicated are corporate records, and with those you have to deal with Mr. Critton. MR. CRITTON: However, with the proviso, too, 3527-003 Page 4 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009679 EFTA00159486 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 5 that we're going to work out that these records are to be used within the confines of this litigation and not to be spread to the press or anyone else, because they do contain confidential information as to who may have been on the plane and other records of Mr. Rogers, which but for the subpoena would have been only available to the FAA or some other law enforcement agencies. MR. EDWARDS: Okay. Is that all you want to put on? MR. CRITTON: Yes. MR. EDWARDS: I'm not saying I necessarily agree or disagree with you. That's something that we'll deal with some other day. MR. CRITTON: Bruce, you'd better produce these records, but there has to be some sort of understanding before -- MR. REINHART: Correct. MR. EDWARDS: I won't do anything until you file whatever you until we work whatever it is out in court. I'll say that on the record, that I'm not doing anything with the records outside of my office until some judge deals with it. MR. REINHART: And for the record, I'll adopt what Mr. Critton said on this one limited occasion. 3527-003 Page 5 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009680 EFTA00159487 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 6 MR. EDWARDS: All right. Thereupon, (LARRY VISOSKI) having been first duly sworn or affirmed, was examined and testified as follows: THE WITNESS: Yes, I do. DIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Can you tell us your name for the record. A. Lawrence Visoski, Jr. Q. And Mr. Visoski, have you ever had your deposition taken before? A. No. Q. Okay. Here's the process: I'm going to ask you questions. You're going to give us answers. Try to give us answers that we all understand and that the court reporter can take down, such as yes, no, or some other verbal answer that we can understand. It's easy when we get in a casual conversation to nod or shake your head, and the court reporter is not writing pictures or anything else. A. I understand. Q. The other thing is, and I've been accused of this in other depositions -- I don't know if it's true or not -- but I need to wait until you finish answering 3527-003 Page 6 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_0000968I EFTA00159488 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 22 23 24 25 7 the question and you need to wait until I finish asking the question. A. So you're not allowed to interrupt me? Q. And you're not allowed to interrupt me. A. Like I just did? Q. Right. MR. CRITTON: Cara just snickered when you said you've been accused because she recognizes it's true. MR. EDWARDS: I don't know what the meaning of her snickering was. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. But for what it's worth, if you don't understand the question or I've asked a bad question, I don't want you to guess. Give me the best answer to the best of your knowledge and if you need me to rephrase it, I will. A. Okay. Q. A. Okay. Tell me your current address. Q. How long have you lived there? A. Approximately nine years. Q. Okay. Who do you live there with? A. 3527-003 Page 7 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_UXX0682 EFTA00159489 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 S 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 8 Q. A. Q • Who's your employer right now? A. NES, LLC. Q. How long has NES, LLC been your employer? A. I'm guessing. I'd say back 1991. I have to do the math, but 17, 18 years. Q. Has that been your only employer since 1991? A. Yes. Q. And has that been your only source of income since 1991? A. Yes. Q. And what is NES, LLC? A. I don't really know. I mean, it's the company that my check comes from. Q. What do you do for NES, LLC that results in them paying you? A. I am chief pilot for the aircraft and 3527-003 Page 8 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009683 EFTA00159490 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 9 helicopters. Q. And do you have a specific boss or somebody you answer to at NES, LLC? A. Several people would call to schedule flights from the office, being it either Mr. Epstein or, you <now, I would just get a phone call and they would schedule a trip. Q. Okay. Aside from Mr. Epstein, who else would there be that would call to schedule flights? A. Leslie. Q. Leslie who? A. Leslie Gruff. Q. When's the last time you talked to Leslie Gruff? A.

And it's my understanding from other depositions that there are also apartments in that building? A. Yes. Q. And Mr. Epstein either owns or leases or rents certain of those apartments. Is that your understanding? MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation. THE WITNESS: I'm only speculating. I don't -- to my understanding, I don't know. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Do you know other people that live in that building? A. Well, it would be myself, Dave Rogers -- well, when you say "live,' explain. Q. When you're saying yourself and Dave Rogers -- A. See, we don't live there. I mean, we have -- we would stay there when we would have a trip. Q. Okay. When you would fly up to New York and land in New York, the place where you would stay, is that A. Yes, that's correct. Q. That's also a location you've indicated in this deposition that is the office for NES, LLC? A. Yes. 3527-003 Page 10 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTASO009685 EFTA00159492 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 S 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 11 Q. What floor or suite number is NES, LLC in? A. I believe -- well, I don't know that NES, LLC has an office there. I know that's where Leslie has the phone number where I call. So I don't know for a fact If NES, LLC has an office there. Q. And what suite number, then, would Leslie :ruff sit in to answer that telephone number at A. I think it's III. Q. And when you stay at what suite number or what apartment number do you stay in? A. Q. And how about Dave Rogers, where does he stay? A. I'm guessing, because it's been some time since we've been there, 10B, but don't quote me on it. Q. Who are the other people in that building that you know to stay there on a regular -- fairly regular basis? A. I've seen people in the elevator that, you know, have been on the airplane. Case in point, maybe -• but I don't know for a fact that she lives there, or anybody else for that matter. Q. Okay. When you say you've seen on the elevator -- 3527-003 Page II of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009686 EFTA00159493 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 A. I only assume she lives there. I don't know .or a fact. I'm trying to be honest and factual for So I couldn't honestly say if I knew she lived - here or not. O. Where do you think lives? A. I would think she lives there. Q. You don't have a better location? A. I don't have another location. Q. Anybody else? 12 A. Not to my knowledge. I mean, I'd only be guessing that people live in that building that -- you know, I don't have any facts to prove that they actually live there. I mean, I don't think you want me to guess. Q. Well, NES, LLC, would you say that the owner or controller of that company is Jeffrey Epstein? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I don't know that for a fact. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Jeffrey Epstein is somebody you've indicated that you've worked for for 17 or 18 years, right? A. Yes. Q. And over the 17 or 18 years you've become personally close with him as well, correct? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I don't understand how you mean 3527-003 Page 12 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009687 EFTA00159494 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 13 •close." Define that. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Well, more so than just a pilot that takes him from Point A to Point B? A. That is my job. Q. Right. But you know him on a personal level and that you've had personal conversations that don't necessarily deal with flying from Point A to Point B; isn't that right? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: More specific, meaning we talk about cars. I mean, does that make you a personal friends? BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Have you ever gone to his house to eat? A. No. Q. Have you been to his New York home? A. Yes. Q. How many occasions have you been to his New York home? MR. CRITTON: Object to form. THE WITNESS: We normally pick up luggage in the lobby, so it would probably be quite often. Any time we depart out of New York, we stop by the house and pick up luggage and head to the aircraft. 3527-003 Page 13 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009688 EFTA00159495 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 14 BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Other than picking up luggage, have you been to his home to visit or socialize with him? A. Not to socialize, no. Q. Have you been to his Palm Beach home? A. To? Q. To Mr. Epstein's Palm Beach house? A. Right. Q. Have you been there? A. Yes. Q. Have you been inside? A. Yes. Q. And how many occasions have you been inside that home? A. The same, as far as picking up luggage, and that would be on a regular basis, you know, for a Aeparture. We wouldn't always go to the house to pick up luggage, but it made it easier for loading the aircraft, getting it done prior to departure. Q. Is that the only reason that you have ever gone to the Palm Beach home over the last 18 years, is to pick up luggage? A. No. Q. What other reasons have you gone there? A. I've set up several home theater equipments, 3527-003 Page 14 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009689 EFTA00159496 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 15 you know, televisions and such. Q. Is that another hobby or job or something of yours? A. Both. Q. Does he pay you for that? A. Not any more than my salary. Q. What's your current salary? A. At this time, 180,000. Q. And what are you paid $180,000 to do? A. To manage his aircraft. Q. What does that entail? A. Scheduling maintenance. Anything that has to do with any flight, whether it be weather, flight planning, time and distance to and from a location, any logistics involved in running an operation that has aircraft. Q. In addition to the 180,000, does he give you bonuses as well? A. There have been Christmas bonuses. Q. Over the years, you mean, there have been Christmas bonuses? A. Q. A. Q. Yes. Is 180,000 the most he's ever paid you? No. All right. Were you making -- when was the 3527-003 Page 15 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009690 EFTA00159497 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 16 last time that you were making an amount different than 180,000? A. Last year. Q. That would be 2008? A. That would be correct. Yeah, we all took a salary cut, I don't know the exact date. It might have been 2008, last year. It was last Christmas we all took a 10 percent salary cut. Q. Do you know why? A. Economic reasons. Q. And who told you that you were going to have to take the salary cut? A. Darren Indyke. Q. And did you ask for an explanation? A. He explained it was due to economic reasons throughout the country. Q. Okay. So in 2008, how much was -- were you being paid by NES, LLC? A. 200,000. Q. And is 200,000 the most that you've ever made from NES, LLC? A. Yes, sir. Q. And on top of that $200,000, did you get a bonus that year as well? MR. REINHART: Which year are you talking 3527-003 Page 16 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009691 EFTA00159498 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 17 about? MR. EDWARDS: 2008. THE WITNESS: That year, I think we skipped Christmas bonuses that year. The last bonus might have been 2007. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. If you ever got a bonus from Mr. Epstein and I'm only deriving this from you using the term "Christmas bonus." A. Holiday bonus. Q. -- am I correct to assume sorry. Am I correct to assume that if you got a bonus, there was only one and it was at the end of the year, around the holidays? A. Yes. Q. Okay. And how much was the 2007 holiday bonus? A. I'd have to ask my wife, to be honest. I haven't seen my paycheck in 27 years, so I believe it was $10,000. Q. And in 2007 you also made $200,000? A. Yes. Q. Okay. A. With a question mark. I'm trying to be as accurate as I can, but yes. 3527-003 Page 17 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009692 EFTA00159499 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 18 Q. Something pretty close to that? A. Yes, sir. Q. Okay. So with the bonus it was 210,000, roughly? A. Right. Q. Okay. And how long were you making that salary? A. Probably -- he was very religious about giving annual increases, so I would probably say 2006, you know, it was -- we would get increment -- increases of five or $10,000 each year. So I would say 2006. So it graduated, you know, progressive. Q. Okay. Do you remember the progression if we start at 1991? Do you remember roughly what the progression was up through 2007/2008, when you were making $200,000? A. No, I wouldn't know the progression. Q. Okay. Do you remember what you were making from and was NES, LLC the company paying you back in 1991? A. I don't know. I don't remember. Let me say it that way. I don't remember. Q. Okay. When -- how long do you remember NES, LLC being the payer of your check? A. Personally, two years, because I've never seen 3527-003 Page 18 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009693 EFTA00159500 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 19 my paycheck. So I don't even know what's written on the top of it. Q. That would be something that only your wife would see, I'm assuming? A. You're right, since she probably wouldn't know the answer either, because she's looking at the right column and not the top column. Q. Right. When is the first time that you had heard the name NES, LLC, that company? A. Five, six years, and even questioned what it stood for. And I think to this day I couldn't answer that honestly, what it stands for. Q. Okay. But it's your understanding that the NES, LLC is paying you for the work that you do as a pilot or maintain the planes for Jeffrey Epstein? A. To my understanding, yes. Q. And back in 1991, do you know if it was a different company that was paying you or if it was Jeffrey Epstein directly paying you? A. I don't remember. I mean, I don't. Q. Okay. Throughout your career with -- as a pilot for Jeffrey Epstein, since 1991, has there ever been a time when you believe you were paid directly from Jeffrey Epstein personally versus some company? A. Not to my knowledge, no. 3527-003 Page 19 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009694 EFTA00159501 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 20 Q. Okay. So whether it was NES, LLC or some other company, it was all of a sudden a company name, to the best of your knowledge? A. Exactly, yes. Q. And back in 1991, do you remember approximately how much you were being paid that year? A. Fifty-five or 60,000, is maybe what I started. Q. Okay. A. You're going back a long ways. Q. Yes. A. I'm trying. Q. Your relationship goes back that far. That's why I chose that year. A. Right. Q • Okay. Did you get bonuses even back that far? A. Yes, sir. Q. And do you remember what your bonuses were approximately? A. 5,000. I mean, that was kind of the -- the starting point. Q. Okay. In addition to monitary bonuses, were - here ever gifts or any other type of compensation that NES, LLC or Jeffrey Epstein provided you? A. Yes. Q. And is that over the span of the 18 years? 3527-003 Page 20 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009695 EFTA00159502 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 21 A. Yes. Q. Okay. Tell me what some of those items are. A. I remember one specifically was a pool heater. Q. Excuse me? A. A pool heater. Q. When was that? A. 1995-ish. Q. Okay. Why did you get that? A. I had built a pool and I didn't have a heater and he kind of laughed at me saying, "How can you have a pool without a heater?" So he says, "You ought to get a heater.• Q. Where were you when you had that conversation? A. In the airplane. O. How did he know that you had built a pool? A. Just in general conversation. Q. You were having a conversation with Jeffrey Epstein? A. Yes. Q. And this is something that was happening on the airplane, this conversation? A. During the flight. Yeah, it would have been like on cruise or something. Q. Okay.

Again, you're going back a long ways. Q. I understand. We're talking about 1995 right now. A. Yes. Q. You're having a conversation with Jeffrey Epstein. Who is flying the airplane? A. The auto pilot and there's two crew. Q. Okay. So are you back in the back portion or is he up in the cockpit? A. Up in the cockpit. Q. Okay. Jeffrey Epstein sometimes comes up there? A. Just, yeah, in between the two pilot seats. Q. All right. Is that something that was typical, to have conversations like that? A. Mm-hmm. Q. Yes? A. Yes. No nodding. Q. And would those conversations be directed mainly with you or with the other pilots as well? A. Mainly with me. Q. I mean, you've kind of been described as the main guy or the main pilot. Wouldn't you consider that pretty much your role, right? A. Well, that's chief pilot. 3527-003 Page 22 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009697 EFTA00159504 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 23 Q. But more so than that, if there's going to be a casual conversation about a pool or a pool heater or whatever, it's going to be with you most likely if he's going to be talking to pilots, right? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: Right. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. And you feel like over the years your relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been pretty good? A. Yes. Q. And you have been closer to him over the years as you've grown to know him? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: The same throughout the same year. We never got any closer than 1991 than I am with him now. I'm very professional at what I do and know the line between being professional and thinking you're somebody's buddy. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. So that's not something that you think you are? You don't think you're his buddy? A. No, sir. Q. Do you consider yourself his friend? A. I believe so. Q. Do you think he considers you his friend? 3527-003 Page 23 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009698 EFTA00159505 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 24 A. I think so. Q. All right. What makes you think that? MR. CRITTON: Speculation. THE WITNESS: He's always been kind and respectful. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Ever invited you to dinner? A. No, sir. Q. Have you ever associated or socialized with him during the day at any of his homes? A. Only during a business reason. Q. Okay. What are the other -- are the places that you believe that Mr. Epstein owns? I know we've talked about this Manhattan -- the Manhattan house. I've read the articles about it, the Palm Beach mansion. But what other places are you familiar with that Mr. Epstein owns? MR. CRITTON: Form; predicate, speculation. THE WITNESS: To answer it honestly, I don't know specifically that he owns any of the residences, to be honest. I would only assume that he owns. So if you want me to answer honestly, I don't know that he owns any of the other. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. Well, what would be the basis for your 3527-003 Page 24 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_UXX0699 EFTA00159506 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 25 assumption that he owns the home in Palm Beach? A. He goes there, but I don't assume -- you don't have to own a house to go to it. Q. And not only does he go there, you're aware that he spends the night there; he resides there sometimes, correct? A. Yes. Q. When he's in Palm Beach, that's where he A. He sleeps. Q. -- sleeps? Right. When he's in New York, do you know where he sleeps? A. No. Q • But you've been to a particular house in New York that's a very large house that we've all read about that you picked up luggage at, right? A. Yes, sir. MR. CRITTON: Form. BY MR. EDWARDS: O. And that home, do you know that -- I know that you're saying that you haven't done a public record search to make sure that Jeffrey Epstein owns it. A. Yeah. Q. But you assume that he does? A. Assuming. Q. That's where he sleeps when he's in New York? 3527-003 Page 25 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009700 EFTA00159507 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I assume. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. That's where his luggage is when you pick it up? A. Doesn't mean he owns it. Q. Right. But that's where it is? A. Yes, sir. Q. Do you know of anybody else who owns that home in New York? A. No. Q. Okay. Have you been to his ranch in New Mexico? A. Yes. MR. CRITTON: Form. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. How many times have you been to his ranch in New Mexico? MR. CRITTON: Form; predicate. THE WITNESS: A guesstimate, fifty times, only due to the fact that we would fly there. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. And where would you land? A. Depending upon the aircraft, either Albuquerque or Santa Fe. 3527-003 Page 26 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009701 EFTA00159508 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 27 Q.

Q. -- his airplane? A. Yes. Q. Where? A. We have a 4500-foot strip on the ranch. Q. When you say "we," yourself and somebody? A. The company. Q. What company? A. Well, I should say -- I see where you're going with that. The ranch owns -- whoever owns the ranch. The ranch has a runway on it. Q. Okay. And you've landed an airplane on that runway? A. That ranch, yes. Q. How many times do you think you've landed there? A. Ten. Q. All right. And have you been inside his ranch? 3527-003 Page 27 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009702 EFTA00159509 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 28 A. Yes. MR. CRITTON: Form to the last question. MR. REINHART: Can you clarify, the physical ranch or the residences or the structures on the ranch? MR. EDWARDS: I don't have a good visual appreciation for it. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Why don't you describe it in your words what this ranch that we are talking about looks like. And I've heard it referred to as the 2orro Ranch. Have you heard that? A. I've heard that. Q. That's the ranch we're all familiar with, we're talking about where the runway is and everything else? A. Yes. Q. Describe it in your own words, the landscaping of this ranch. What do we have on it? A. There is a house up on the hill, a large house. Q. How big? A. Big. I've read 40,000 square feet in the paper. Q. Have you been to it? 3527-003 Page 28 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_UXX0703 EFTA00159510 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 29 A. Yes. Q. Does that seem like it's feasible, approximately 40,000 -- A. I think so, yes. Q. What else do we have on it? A. There is a compound that has kind of motel room type -- they call it bunkhouse. Q. Where's the bunkhouse located? A. At the entrance to the ranch. Q. Okay. And what is that primarily used for? A. For the people that work on the ranch, they reside there. It's also a place where anybody that traveled on the airplane would stay. It's kind of like, you know, a hotel room. Q • And how far is that from the first house that you described, the 40,000 square foot house? A. It's probably 4 miles. Q. Okay. So the Zorro Ranch is a rather large area of property? A. Yes. Q. And how many times -- I know we just talked about how many times you've been in the house, but how many times have you been on that ranch in New Mexico, the Zorro Ranch? A. Thirty to fifty times over the years. That's 3527-003 Page 29 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009704 EFTA00159511 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 30 a guesstimate. Q. Is that over -- when was the first time that you went to that ranch? A. A guess, I don't know when it was, actually, our first trip, but 1995/'94. Q. Okay. And do you believe Jeffrey Epstein and/or a corporation owned or controlled by him to be the sole owner of that ranch? A. I don't know any of those details. Q. Have you ever talked to Jeffrey Epstein about who owns that ranch? A. No. Q. Do you know of anybody else who may own that ranch? A. Not to my knowledge. Q. Other than Jeffrey Epstein, do you know of anybody else who regularly stays there when they're in New Mexico? A. Not to my knowledge. Q. Does Jeffrey Epstein stay there when you're in New Mexico? A. He has. Q. And he has a key to the place? A. I don't know if there's a key. Q. One way or another, he gets in, right? 3527-003 Page 30 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009705 EFTA00159512 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 31 A. Yes, sir. Q. And he sleeps there? A. Yes. Q. Okay. A. I assume he does. Q. You assume he sleeps? A. I do. I think. Q. Okay. MR. CRITTON: This is really -- BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Other than the pool heater in 1995, have you ever received any other gifts on top of the compensation from Mr. Epstein? A. I did get land on the ranch to build a house. 0. What do you mean you got land on the ranch? A. He deeded me land to build a home. Q. When was that? A. Ten years ago at least. Q. Do you know if he's ever deeded anyone else in this world land on the ranch to build a home? A. Not to my knowledge. Q. Why did he do that? A. We would vacation out there and my wife fell in love with New Mexico and we were looking for property. 3527-003 Page 31 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009706 EFTA00159513 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 32 Q • And did you talk to him about that? A. Yes. He knew I -- he was aware I was looking for a home and he says, "Well, I have so much land, I could give you a spot to build a home on.' So I built a house. Q. So how long has a home actually been on that property? A. Nine years. Q. And that's a home that you own? A. Yes, sir. Q. And that's a home that was -- when I say "you own it,' is there a mortgage on it or did he give it to you free and clear? A. No, no, I paid for the house. I made payments on it. Q. All right. So what did he actually give you? A. 40-acres of land. Q. That you did not have to pay for? A. You know, I'd have to go back and look. I think it was -- I had to pay something for it. I don't remember. Q. How often have you visited that piece -- that home that you own? A. My wife would spend summers out there with the kids. 3527-003 Page 32 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009707 EFTA00159514 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 33 Q. Okay. But that's on the Zorro Ranch? A. Yes. Q. So in addition to the 50 or so times you've been to the Zorro Ranch, you've been to your property that's on the Zorro Ranch? A. Yes, which over the years, it's once-a-year visits. So I mean, it is included in the 50 times that I've been there. Q. Okay. And did you have a conversation with him that led to him giving you or gifting you 40-acres of land? A. We talked about it because he knew I was looking for a home out there. Q. Okay. In gifting you that land, did you consider yourself at that point in time to be more than just his pilot, as more of a friend? A. No. You're using the word "gifting." I paid for the land. I don't recall what it was. But you use the word "friend." I don't know that a -- sure, he was a friend. I mean.. . Q. Well, did he give Dave Rogers any land out on the New Mexico ranch? A. No. Q. Okay. When you say you paid for it, I thought that I asked that question, "Did you pay for the 3527-003 Page 33 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009708 EFTA00159515 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 34 40-acres?" I thought your answer was, "I don't know, I'd have to go back and look." Are you saying now that you did pay for that land? A. I don't remember. If there was a sum of money, it was just for, you know, the legal purpose of a transfer of ownership of the land. Q. Okay. If it was a substantial amount of money, that's something that you would have remembered? A. Oh, exactly. No, it was not a substantial amount. Q. Okay. Do you remember approximately how much money you had to give Jeffrey Epstein for that land? A. I would only be guessing. It might have been five dollars. To my knowledge, I don't remember. Q. Okay. So when I'm saying he gave you the land, he may have actually given you the land? A. Sure. Q. Okay. And to the best of your knowledge, he's never given anyone else land out there? A. Not to my knowledge. MR. CRITTON: Form. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. All right.

Q. Were you ever at that house at the same time when he's at his house that's on that Zorro Ranch? A. Yes. Q. All right. We started back in 1991 with you making around $55,000 a year and that has progressed over time to a point where in 2007 you were making $200,000 a year. I don't want to go through every single year; that would take a really long time. But the progression, was that on a yearly basis normally or after two years or three years? A. Yearly basis. Q. Okay. And would that normally be in increments of? A. $5,000. Q. Okay. You've talked about a couple other gifts that have been given to you from Jeffrey Epstein over the years; one is a pool heater in 1995 and now some 40 acres of land on his New Mexico ranch. Any other gifts you can think about? A. No other gifts. Q. Okay. I don't want to split hairs with you. You obviously thought about that answer before giving it. What other items are you thinking about that he's given to you or cut you a discount on or otherwise that 3527-003 Page 35 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTASO009710 EFTA00159517 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 you feel was compensation for you working for him?

What is Zorro Development? A. I believe that's the ranch, or at least it has the name of the ranch. I don't know what the entity is. Q. And it's your understanding that that's a company vehicle? A. Yes. Q. And where is that vehicle primarily garaged? A. At my home. Q. In or in the Zorro Ranch? A. No, here in Q. All right. And is there only one company vehicle that you're issued? A. Yes, sir. Q.

What documents do you believe exist that indicate names of individuals that have been passengers on Mr. Epstein's airplanes? MR. REINHART: Are we going back all the way from '91 to the present? MR. EDWARDS: Sure. THE WITNESS: You're talking about the Hawker? BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Any airplanes. What documents would there be? A. There would be the same: Flight logs and passenger manifests would exist. Q. And are either of those required? A. The flight log is required for the aircraft to - rack times and landings. Q.

He knew the difference that if he never came up front, he knew who was flying, who landed. Q. And what was the conversation that he had with you that resulted in you becoming chief pilot, switching positions with Dave Rogers? 3527-003 Page 42 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009717 EFTA00159524 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 43 A. Jeffrey would always critique Dave's flying capabilities, and I tried to help Dave and explain to him what Jeffrey likes and doesn't like. And Jeffrey's also conveyed these likes and dislikes. And Dave maintained continuing with certain piloting techniques that were just not comfortable to passengers. And this went on through the years, and Jeffrey just got tired of it one day. Q. What specifically were Jeffrey Epstein's likes and dislikes with respect to the flight of the plane? MR. CRITTON: Let me put in a form here. But I don't know what this has to do with anything in this case. MR. EDWARDS: I understand that, Bob. MR. CRITTON: I want to use this for some other depositions where we -- we've gone beyond the scope. THE WITNESS: The case in point, the last straw was there was a technique called quiet flying where you would retard the throttles well short of the runway and pretty much glide the airplane in. Well, if you don't do that correctly, you have to spool the engines up just prior to touching down that -- because you're losing air speed and it's an uncomfortable sound and feeling for the passengers 3527-003 Page 43 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009718 EFTA00159525 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 44 thinking that you're not going to make the runway. And it was a continuous practice of Dave doing that to be neighbor friendly as opposed to being passenger-comfort friendly. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. A. Hence, the transfer of power. Q. Has he ever discussed with you where he wants you to be, whether that is "stay in the cockpit when I have people on the airplane," or don't intermingle with the passengers or anything else? A. He's never stated that to us. MR. REINHART: Could you clarify which "he" you're talking about? MR. EDWARDS: I'm talking about Jeffrey Epstein. MR. REINHART: Okay. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. You understood that? A. Yes. Q. It's my understanding that in the -- well, tell me other than the Hawker, what other airplanes have you flown for Jeffrey Epstein? A. A Gulfstream. Q. Does he still have that plane? 3527-003 Page 44 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009719 EFTA00159526 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 45 A. Yes, sir. Q. How big of a plane is that? A. Large corporate jet. Q. How long has he had it? A. Fourteen years; 13, 14 years. Q. And other than the Gulfstream, what other airplanes does he have? A. When you say 'he," obviously, these are company-owned -- Q. Jeffrey Epstein or his companies. A. A Boeing 727. Q. Well, I know that's a very large airplane. think that's been described by other people, so I'm not going to have you do that. But there's partitions in that airplane -- in the back rooms of that airplane, right? A. Yes. Q. Several different partitions to where if the pilot comes out of the cockpit, you don't necessarily see all the passengers? A. Yes. Q. That's true? A. Yes. Q. Okay. MR. REINHART: Keep your voice up so she can 3527-003 Page 45 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009720 EFTA00159527 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 46 hear you. THE WITNESS: Oh. MR. REINHART: And so Mr. Willits can hear you. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Other than the Gulfstream and the Boeing and the Hawker, what other airplanes has Jeffrey Epstein owned over the years? A. That is it. Q. And currently still owns -- or the companies associated with him own the Gulfstream and the Boeing? A. Yes. Q. And in the past two years, have you flown those two airplanes? A. Just for routine flights to keep them loose or, you know -- you know what I mean. Q. Have those two airplanes been flown by anyone else in the last two years? A. No. Q. Have those two airplanes been flown in the last two years for any reason other than routine maintenance-type flights? A. We've had one -- two flights I think in the past two years. Q. And what were the purposes of those flights 3527-003 Page 46 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009721 EFTA00159528 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 47 and who was on the flights? A. One flight I believe we went to Sebring and another flight we went to Nassau, Bahamas. Q. And who did you go to Nassau, Bahamas with? A. I'd have to look at the flight log, but I think it was , I believe. I think that was the three passengers, to the best of my knowledge. Q. And it's my understanding that little St. James is an island that Jeffrey Epstein owns or controls? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I don't know that he owns it. BY MR. EDWARDS: O. Has he ever been to an island called Little St. James? A. Yes. Q. And have you been there with Jeffrey Epstein? A. I've been there when he was there. Q. Have you flown on an airplane with him to that destination? A. No. Q. All right. When you say you've been there when he was there, how did that come about? A. We flew into St. Thomas and then we flew to 3527-003 Page 47 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009722 EFTA00159529 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 48 Little St. James in a helicopter. Q. And do you fly the helicopter as well? A. Yes. Q. How many helicopters are owned or controlled by Jeffrey Epstein and/or corporations associated with him? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: At this time, one. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. And has that helicopter been flown in the last two years? A. Just for routine maintenance. Q. And when you and -- let's say when and and flew to Nassau, do you know the purpose of that trip? A. No. Q. How long did you stay? A. Five hours. Q. Did you pick anybody up there? A. No. Meaning passengers? Q. Yes. A. No. Q. What happened? You landed the airplane and then what? A. The passengers left. Dave and I went and had 3527-003 Page 48 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009723 EFTA00159530 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 lunch. The passengers showed up and we came back. Q. Have you ever stayed at the home that is on Little St. James? A. No. Q. home? 49 Have you known Jeffrey Epstein to stay at that A. I don't know that for a fact. Q. Okay. Do you believe that he is the owner or controller or has some interest in the home or the island of Little St. James? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I have no knowledge of that being a fact. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. And you have no belief that that is a fact? A. Exactly. Q. When you say you've been there when he was there, how many times has that occurred? A. Estimating, a hundred times. Q. Okay. A. Trying to give an honest answer. Q. Okay. And in the approximate -- I'm not going to hold you to a hundred times, but in the approximately hundred times -- A. Sure. 3527-003 Page 49 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009724 EFTA00159531 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 50 Q. -- for what period of time are we talking about? A. During what period of time? Q. Right. A. Let's see, when did all this happen? What, 2007? So eight years prior to whenever he stopped flying. Q. '98/'99? A. Yeah, I guess, yes. Q. I mean, that sounds like a right A. Sounds about right, yeah. Don't hold me to it again. Q. All right. A. You're going back a long way. Q. So from approximately the '98/'99 time frame when Jeffrey Epstein would fly to Little St. James, would you be the pilot? A. Yes. Q. Okay. And you say that you've been there -- I thought that you just told me that you've been there the same time he was there, but then I thought the subsequent question was well, were you on the flight with him, and I thought your answer was no. Maybe I misunderstood that. A. No, you said the question "Have you ever flown 3527-003 Page 50 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009725 EFTA00159532 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 51 to his island?" We never landed on his island. We landed in St. Thomas. Q. Got it. A. I was just trying to be exact. Q. Thank you. A. It's a small island. Q. Okay. So how is it that when Mr. Epstein "ants to go to Little St. James, what is the path that take to get actually to the island of Little St. James? A. I don't understand the question. Q. Well, you just told me you fly the airplane to St. Thomas? A. Right. Q. And then what? A. Then sometimes I would go get the helicopter or he could also take a boat to the island. But normally the helicopter's located on St. Thomas. I'd fire up the helicopter, come pick him up, drop him at the island and I come back to St. Thomas. Q. And when he stays on St. James, you drop him off on St. James. I suppose you're going to tell me you don't know if he stays there or not? A. Exactly. Q. But do you stay -- 3527-003 Page 51 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009726 EFTA00159533 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 A. I don't. I mean -- Q. Well, he either stays there or someone else picks him up in a helicopter or he swims away? A. Correct. Q. Okay. You stay on St. Thomas? A. Yes. Q. Okay. Is there a place that you've stayed on St. James, ever? A. No, I've never. Q. So in the hundred or more times that you've been to the island, is it my understanding that each of those times you've been there to drop off Jeffrey Epstein and/or any passengers and you've immediately left and gone to St. Thomas? A. Yes, sir. Q• 52 You never been inside that home that's located on St. James? A. Yes, I've been inside the home. Q. How many times have you been inside the home? A. I mean, ten, fifteen times. Q. And for what occasion? A. I've set up the theater system that's in the living room. Q. Okay. A. So it would be there to work to hook up a TV 3527-003 Page 52 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009727 EFTA00159534 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 22 23 24 25 or a stereo. Q • And do you know Les Wexler? A. No, I don't. Q. Have you ever met him before? 53 A. I have met him. Q. Do you know of any relationship between Les Wexler and Jeffrey Epstein? A. I don't know what -- to what extent they have a relationship, no. Q • Do you know if they know one another? A. I don't know that for a fact. They talk to one another, so I would assume. But I don't know to -- Q • How do you know they talk to one another? A. I've seen them speak to one another at the foot of the airplane. Q. All right. Have you ever flown the airplane any of the airplanes with Les Wexler as a passenger? A. No. Q. Have you ever flown the airplanes with - as a passenger? A. Yes. Q. And do you know A. Yes. Q. And for how long have you known 3527-003 Page 53 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009728 EFTA00159535 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 54 A. I'm guessing, six years. I mean, don't hold me to it. I'm not the greatest on length of times, but six, seven years, I think. Q. How did you meet her? A. I guess I was introduced. She was on a flight of ours Q. You were introduced to her by whom? A. She may have introduced herself. I mean, you're going back a ways. I don't know the official introduction, how it went. Q. And to your knowledge, what is her -- is she associated or affiliated in some way with Jeffrey Epstein? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I would assume so. I don't know to what level or what actually her job description is BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. All right. Well, how many flights have you flown where she and Jeffrey Epstein have been passengers together on one of the airplanes that we've been discussing? A. I'd only be guessing again. Q. We're talking hundreds of flights, though? A. Sure, sure, a lot of flights. 3527-003 Page 54 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009729 EFTA00159536 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 55 Q. It seems to be -- I mean, you seem like somebody who has common sense. It seems like somebody that knows Jeffrey Epstein? MR. CRITTON: Form. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Correct, A. Yes. Q. All right. And do you believe that there is a business relationship there or a personal relationship there, from your observations? A. I'd only be speculating. When they get on the airplane, my focus is forward and flying safely. So I don't -- you know, I'd only be guessing at either one of those two. Q. Okay. Have you ever socialized with A. No. Q. Other than speaking with her on the airplane, have you spoken with her elsewhere? A. Over the phone, in passing, I mean, walking down the street in New York. I mean, yes. Q. Why would you call or why would she call you? A. She would call me to schedule the aircraft for a departure. 3527-003 Page 55 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009730 EFTA00159537 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 56 Q. And have you ever called her? A. Yes. O. When's the last time you talked to A. A week ago. O. What was the occasion? A. We were discussing carpet for one of the aircraft. Q. And where was she when you were talking with her? for? A. I don't know. It was over the phone. Q. Did she call you or you call her? A. No, I called her on her cell. Q. Okay. And that's a New York number? A. I don't know. It's on speed dial. Q. Do you have your phone with you? A. Yes. Q. Could you tell me what that number is? A. Sure. Q. Thanks. A. Sure. Q. Which airplane were you discussing carpeting A. Was actually -- actually, it was for the helicopter. Now that I'm thinking about it, the 3527-003 Page 56 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009731 EFTA00159538 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 57 helicopter. Q. In the last two years, did you tell me the helicopter has flown? A. Yes. O. And where to? A. I have flown the helicopter to Fort Lauderdale on several occasions for maintenance. I've flown it to Miami. And I try to fly the helicopter at least every two weeks just either by myself to run it up to its -- it's important that it keeps moving. Q. Other than maintenance-type flights, have you flown the helicopter in the last couple of years? A. Yes. Q. And who was on the helicopter? A. I flew to Miami with Mr. Epstein. Q. When was that? A. It was a couple weeks ago or a month ago, I think. Q. For what? A. Sorry? Q. For what occasion? A. I think he had a meeting with his attorneys in Miami. Q • Today is October the 15th. Is this during the month of October that you had this flight in the 3527-003 Page 57 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009732 EFTA00159539 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 helicopter with Mr. Epstein? you. A. I'd have to look at the book to be exact for Q. 58 Okay. But it's either the end of September or the beginning of October? A. Yeah. Q. How do you know that he was meeting with his attorneys? A. I believe that he had mentioned that he was meeting his attorneys. Q. Did he tell you why? A. No. Q. Why did he tell you he was meeting with his attorneys? Did you ask him? A. No. Q. Okay. That's just something that he said to you in conversation? A. Yes, sir. Q. Was there anyone else on the airplane besides you and Mr. Epstein? A. Yes. Q. Who was that? A. Q. who? A. 3527-003 Page 58 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009733 EFTA00159540 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Q. How long have you known A. I don't know, five years. A guess again, four, five years. Q. Do you know what her relationship is, if any, with Jeffrey Epstein? A. I do not know. Q. Do you know if she knows Jeffrey Epstein? A. I would assume so. They talk. I would imagine she knows him. Q. And how many times has she been on the airplane or the helicopter on flights at the same time as a passenger with Jeffrey Epstein? A. Many. I'd have to look at the logs. Q. Hundreds of times? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: Sure. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. If you were going to, as somebody who has been Jeffrey Epstein's pilot for 18 years, tell me today who the five closest people are to Jeffrey Epstein, would be one of them? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I'd only be guessing and speculating. I have no idea. 59 3527-003 Page 59 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009734 EFTA00159541 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 60 BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. Well, as his pilot and the person who travels with Jeffrey Epstein on the majority of his flights, who are the people who travel most frequently with Jeffrey Epstein? A. I'd have to look at the logs. MR. REINHART: Can we get a time period? BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. In the last ten years, which people travel most frequently with him? A. I'd have to look at the flight logs to give you an accurate answer. Q. You can't give me one single name of somebody who you would say is a frequent flyer? A. Q. A. Yes. Q. Anybody else? A. Q. A. Yeah. Q. Okay. Anybody else? A. Just mainly those two. Q. How about Ghislaine Maxwell? A. Not for some time. 3527-003 Page 60 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009735 EFTA00159542 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 61 Q. What's your understanding between the relationship of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein? A. I don't really know. Q. All right. So when you say you're guessing that and know or are associated with Jeffrey Epstein, that guess is being made on the -- with the observation that they have been frequent flyers with Jeffrey Epstein on more than hundreds of flights on his private plane? A. Yes, that's what I'm basing it on. Q. And do you know where is staying these days? A. No. Q. Do you know what car she's driving these days? A. No, I don't. Q. Okay. Do you know if she's living with Jeffrey Epstein these days? A. I don't know that. Q. Do you know how met Jeffrey Epstein? A. I don't. Q. Were you on an international flight bringing her into the country from some other country at any time? A. I don't know. 3527-003 Page 61 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009736 EFTA00159543 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 62 MR. REINHART: Can we clarify? You mean with Mr. Epstein or -- MR. EDWARDS: No. BY MR. EDWARDS: 0. Did you ever bring from some foreign country into the United States? A. I'd have to look at the log books, honestly. Q. That's not something you remember? A. No. I mean, she -- I think she's been on Europe trips with us, and I think she's returned from Europe with us, but I could not say that honestly. Q. On this recent helicopter flight with and Jeffrey Epstein, did you talk with them during that flight? A. No. Q. Where did the flight go from? And obviously, it landed in Miami, but where did you leave from? A. West Palm Beach. Q. And did and Jeffrey Epstein arrive together? A. You know, I don't remember. I was out at the helicopter and I think they both started walking up. So I don't know if they came separately or not. I was already at the helicopter. Q. How long is that flight from Palm Beach to 3527-003 Page 62 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009737 EFTA00159544 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 63 Miami? A. Twenty-five minutes. Q. And did they talk to one another during that flight? A. No. Q. They were both completely silent during that flight? A. Yes. Q. Okay. Is that typical when they are on flights together, especially with the helicopter, where you're in pretty close quarters, that they would abstain from speaking to one another? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: Yeah, it would be typical. It's very noisy and communicating in a helicopter is, you know, not that comfortable. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Over the last five or six years that you have known or been familiar with , have you heard her and Jeffrey Epstein conversing with one another? A. I've heard them conversing, but if you ask me what they had said, I could say it -- I wouldn't even know what they had said to each other. I've seen them talking to each other. 3527-003 Page 63 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009738 EFTA00159545 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 64 Q. But you don't remember a single specific conversation between Jeffrey Epstein and A. An honest answer, no. Q. Okay. And the same for ; have you seen or have you seen Jeffrey Epstein speak with A. I've seen him speak with her, yes. Q. Can you tell me a single specific conversation that you have overheard between Jeffrey Epstein and A. One thing that comes to mind would be make sure we have Oreo cookies on the airplane. It would be something completely nonchalant. Q • Okay. And do you know or have reason to know of any employment relationship between and Jeffrey Epstein? A. I have no knowledge of any of that. Q. Do you know if works for Jeffrey Epstein? A. I do not know. Q. Do you know if schedules massages for Jeffrey Epstein? A. I have no idea. Q • Has Jeffrey Epstein ever indicated to you that 3527-003 Page 64 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009739 EFTA00159546 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 65 he is fascinated or infatuated or appreciates or loves or likes massages? A. I have no knowledge of that. Q. All right. How about Ghislaine Maxwell, has she ever talked to you about massage therapy or have you ever overheard her talking about that? A. No. Q. You certainly read the papers over the last couple of years, correct? A. Not on my top ten list. I mean, I've read a couple articles, but I'm not one to focus on that so much as some people would. Q. Okay. When the investigation about Jeffrey Epstein came about, the criminal investigation -- you're aware that's what I'm talking about, right? A. That was last year? Q. Well, it was a couple years ago. A. Right, okay. Q. Did you speak with Jeffrey Epstein about that investigation? A. No. Q. Were you told not to speak with him about that investigation? A. I think we knew ourselves that we weren't -- it wouldn't be proper to even bring it up. 3527-003 Page 65 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_OYX0740 EFTA00159547 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Q. All right. When you read in the newspapers ehe allegations that Mr. Epstein was involved with numerous underage girls for sexual reasons, were you surprised? A. I didn't believe it. Q. Do you believe it today? 66 A. I don't believe it. Q. You don't believe that Jeffrey Epstein was involved with underage girls in a sexual way? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: You're asking for my opinion, and I don't think my opinion is relevant in that matter. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. I think it's relevant. Can you just tell me whether today you believe that Jeffrey Epstein has engaged in sex with underage girls? MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation, irrelevant, always. THE WITNESS: It's irrelevant. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. I need an answer. A. I don't believe he had sex with underage women. Q. Or engaged in any sexual acts with underage 3527-003 Page 66 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009741 EFTA00159548 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 67 women? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: No. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. You think that this is just a story that a bunch of underage women have made up? A. Speculation. MR. CRITTON: Objection. Now it's argumentative. Who gives a darn what he thinks one way or another? If he has personal knowledge -- MR. EDWARDS: You're objecting to the form? MR. CRITTON: It's argumentative. MR. EDWARDS: You're objecting to the form? MR. CRITTON: Yes. MR. EDWARDS: Okay. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Is that something that you believe that a bunch of women -- some of which know each other, some don't, some of which have been on the airplane and some which haven't -- made this up, that Jeffrey Epstein engaged in some sexual conduct with them? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: What I believe doesn't matter in this case, does it? 3527-003 Page 67 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009742 EFTA00159549 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 68 BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. I need an answer. Do you believe it? Do you believe these girls made this up? MR. CRITTON: Form. MR. REINHART: I'm going to instruct him not to answer. Move on. MR. EDWARDS: Is there a privilege that we're asserting? MR. REINHART: No, it's irrelevant. It's harassment and not likely to lead to discoverable evidence. MR. EDWARDS: I'm going to put on the record right now that it is -- we are allowed discovery into a RICO count. We are also allowed discovery into the intent of Mr. Epstein in developing a criminal enterprise designed to sexually exploit and sexually abuse underage girls. We believe that in doing so, he associated intentionally with people of similar beliefs that sex with underage girls is okay, and that there have been many discussions with this witness, as well as many other witnesses with -- to insure his protection from law enforcement that they not answer these specific questions. And thus, the opinions and beliefs of all of these witnesses that we are 3527-003 Page 68 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_UHK0743 EFTA00159550 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 69 alleging associated with this criminal enterprise are certainly reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. And if you're still instructing the witness, based on that proffer, not to answer any of these questions, I'm going to continue to ask the questions and you can instruct him not to answer and we can go to the Court. MR. REINHART: My response is to his opinion whether people making allegations in this case are colluding or making up a story is irrelevant to what you just said. So I am going to instruct him not to answer any question that goes to his opinion of someone else's motivation or the truth of facts to which he has no knowledge. So yes, I'm instructing him not to answer. MR. CRITTON: Let me add in my part, is that I think -- you're certainly not only capable to ask questions with regard to what his personal knowledge is, and if he knows something or he has reasonable basis for it; certainly you are entitled to that information. I think you've asked those questions and he's given you straightforward answers as to what he knew or what he didn't know under those circumstances. And as to what his 3527-003 Page 69 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009744 EFTA00159551 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 70 thoughts are on something which he has no factual basis or even an assumption to know one way or another is irrelevant. That's ultimately for a fact-finder in this case. While it's interesting, it's argumentative and I don't think he's -- I mean, do it on a question-by-question basis. If he has knowledge, that's great, but to argue your case with this witness or any other witness doesn't serve a purpose and I think is, you know -- I think it's not a good use of our time, I'll put it that way. But you know, you can go ahead and ask. MR. EDWARDS: I can ask the question and if the witness is being instructed not to answer, we'll let a judge decide whether he needs to answer the question and whether it's discoverable or not. MR. REINHART: Absolutely. Make your record. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Do you have any reason to believe that Jeffrey Epstein engaged in sexual activity with underage women? A. I have no reason to believe. Q. Okay. So as you sit here today, based on your 18 years of knowledge, experience and observation of Jeffrey Epstein, is it your belief that he has not had sex or engaged in sexual activity with underage women? 3527-003 Page 70 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009745 EFTA00159552 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 71 A. It's an opinion, and I believe that he has not. Q. Okay. Isn't it true that at some point in time you learned that Jeffrey Epstein has -- strike that. MR. CRITTON: When you ultimately get to a good place to break, will you let us know? MR. EDWARDS: Let's break now. (A break was had at 11:28 a.m.) BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. All right. Eighteen years of being a pilot for Jeffrey Epstein and in terms of being able to name somebody that you would say you've observed with Jeffrey Epstein and would classify that person as Jeffrey Epstein's friend, can you name anybody? A. ; just people that we see routinely on the airplane. Q. That's people you see routinely in the last five to ten years, right? A. Yes. Q. Prior to that time, anybody that you've noticed as Jeffrey Epstein's friend may be Ghislaine Maxwell? A. What time frame? Q. Is that a person that at some point in time 3527-003 Page 71 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_ONX0746 EFTA00159553 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 72 would classify as Jeffrey Epstein's friend? 2 3 4 5 A. I would classify it. I don't know if it's true. Q. But that's only because they were on the airplane together? 6 I A. Yes. 7I Q. Do you know what Jeffrey Epstein does for a 8 living in your 18 years of observing and talking with 9 Jeffrey Epstein? 10 A. No. 11 Q. No idea? 12 A. No. 13 Q. Ever asked him? 14 A. No, actually. 15 0. Ever been curious? 16 A. Sure. 17 Q. Ever done anything to satisfy that curiosity? 18 A. If you mean Google it, not really, actually. 19 I mean, I really have not. 20 Q. Okay. So in 18 years of traveling and being 21 the pilot and driving -- and taking this person, Jeffrey 22 Epstein, from one property in New York to New Mexico and 23 Florida and around the world, you have no idea what he 24 does in terms of how he makes money? 25 A. No, sir. 3527-003 Page 72 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009747 EFTA00159554 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 73 Q. I was produced this flight log -- tell me if I'm using the wrong term. What is this called, this book that I've been provided by Dave Rogers? A. I've never seen that book. Q. I'll let you see it. I don't know that it was always in a book, so maybe that's why you haven't seen it. Tell me what we're looking at. A. Well, judging with the name at the bottom, I believe this is Dave's flight log, log book. Q. I didn't know if it was called a flight log. A. Pilot log book, how's that? That's the appropriate name. Q. It was marked as Composite Exhibit 1 in Roger's deposition, as indicated by the exhibit sticker. We'll mark it the same in your deposition as well. MR. CRITTON: Why don't you refer to it as his? MR. EDWARDS: Fine. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. It's the pilot log book of Dave Rogers? A. Yes. Q. And the years provided in this book are 2002 through 2005; I can represent that to you. I'm going to ask you about certain people that David Rogers wrote down as being on the airplane and I want to ask you if 3527-003 Page 73 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009748 EFTA00159555 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 74 you know who they are. This person right here is It seems like she flew on numerous flights. Do you know who that is? A. No. I heard the name, but I don't know who that is. Q. All right. Is that somebody that you remember seeing on any of the flights that you were on? A. What year are we talking about here? I don't remember. Q. Well, this is January 2002. You'd probably know how to read this book a little bit better than me, so I don't know. A. He keeps his a lot more current, so I know the name. If she walked in here right now, I would probably look right through her, to be honest. Q. Do you know what affiliation or relationship she had with Jeffrey Epstein? A. No. Q. Okay. There are various -- each row I'm told by David Rogers is a different flight and it indicates where it takes off from and where it lands, et cetera. There's a lot of other information, especially over on this side of the page that I'm not familiar with, nor do I need to be. A. Right. 3527-003 Page 74 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009749 EFTA00159556 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 75 Q. But it's evident that the plane is being used, at least for this time period, January of 2002 through 2005, on a fairly regular basis. I mean, we're looking at January 6th, 11th, 13th, 13th, 14th, right? A. Uh-huh. Q. I mean, is that something that you would say accurately reflects the amount of use of Jeffrey Epstein's planes? A. Yes. Q. So he travels quite frequently? A. Yes. Q. right? And he travels with many different people, MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: Yes. MR. CRITTON: Can I ask one question? I was wondering what happened, who has possession of now what's the original Exhibit No. 1 of Mr. Rogers' deposition? Did you retain it? MR. REINHART: The actual book itself? MR. EDWARDS: The court reporter took it, right? MR. CRITTON: The one marked as an exhibit, did you keep that? MR. REINHART: This is it. 3527-003 Page 75 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009750 EFTA00159557 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 $ 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 76 MR. EDWARDS: This is it? MR. CRITTON: Who took it from the deposition the other day? MR. EDWARDS: I have this one right now. MR. REINHART: That's the only copy? MR. EDWARDS: Okay. MR. CRITTON: So you took the original? MR. EDWARDS: Apparently. It has the original sticker. MR. CRITTON: When I say "the original," the original copy. Would you have someone recreate what you've got and send it to us so we have it? MR. EDWARDS: Sure. In fact, why don't I wait until I get the whole thing and I'll copy all the pages and send it to you instead of piecemeal. MR. HOROWITZ: You mean before the transcript comes? MR. EDWARDS: We can copy it. MR. CRITTON: If you give it to me, I'll copy it and send it back to you. MR. REINHART: I have a copy. It just doesn't have the exhibit sticker on. MR. EDWARDS: That's what was told to me the other day, that's why I took it. MR. CRITTON: I want something -- I just don't 3527-003 Page 76 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009751 EFTA00159558 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 77 want to -- if you give me a copy, I'll put a sticker on it. MR. REINHART: Or just copy the page that has the exhibit sticker on it. MR. CRITTON: Sorry. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Like on this flight, we have "JE." I'm assuming that's Jeffrey Epstein, correct? A. Yes, I'll assume. Q. "GM," Ghislaine Maxwell, right? A. Yes. Q. , A. I would assume. Q. I mean -- okay. And then this name, do you recognize that person, A. Never heard it. Q. And then A. Yes. Q. You've heard that name? A. I've heard the name. Q. Not sure who that is, though? A. No. O. There's only one, two, three, four, five, six people on that flight? A. Uh-huh. 3527-003 Page 77 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009752 EFTA00159559 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 78 Q. That's pretty typical of the amount of passengers that you would have on a flight? A. It varied, sure. Q. Okay. But it varied between -- if we look a few lines down, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were the only two passengers. Certainly there were flights like that as well, right? A. Mm-hmm. Q. And so it varied from having one or two people to six or seven people, right? A. Yes. Q. What's the most people that you remember traveling on any of Jeffrey Epstein's airplanes? A. Twenty-five. Q. Okay. That would be a rarity, wouldn't you say? A. Oh, yeah. Q. Because I've looked through this log. I haven't seen any place where there were 25, but there are lines that have maybe eight or nine people listed. A. Right. Q. Let's see. There's a flight from January 15th sorry, January 17th, January 20th and January 22nd of 2002 that all had . That doesn't serve to refresh your recollection as to who 3527-003 Page 78 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009753 EFTA00159560 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 that is, does it? A. No. Q. Okay. Do you know what the purpose of her 79 being on the airplane flight along with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and would be? A. No. Q. Okay. Do you know how it comes about that gets on that flight? How does she even know there's a flight available? A. I don't know. Q. All right. Well, let's go down to somebody that we may all know a little bit better. February 9th, 2002, there's a flight that has Bill Clinton, four Secret Service agents and then instead of listing names or initials or anything else, it's just listed as two males, one female, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and I forget who Dave Rogers told me "AP" is. Do you remember who that is? A. No. Q. Okay. Either way, how is it that someone like Bill Clinton gets on a Jeffrey Epstein flight? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I don't know. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Do you know before the flight takes off that 3527-003 Page 79 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009754 EFTA00159561 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 80 Bill Clinton's going to be a passenger on the flight? A. Yes. Q. And how do you know? How do you get that information? A. The day before I'd get a phone call from, say, saying we're leaving tomorrow going to wherever, and sometimes she'll say who's going, sometimes she won't. On a case where President Clinton would be on board, we would put a little extra catering on board or do that little extra TLC to the aircraft. Q. If it's leaving -- this says it's leaving from MIA and where is it landing? A. HPN I believe is White Plains. Q. Okay. Do you remember that flight? A. I remember being on it. Q. Well, I mean, if you look through here, obviously you had Bill Clinton on the airplane ten or twenty times, right? A. Yeah. He's my main focus. I remember him being on the aircraft, sure. Q. Do you remember him being on the airplane with younger girls? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: No. 3527-003 Page 80 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009755 EFTA00159562 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 81 BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. Do you know what his relationship was with Jeffrey Epstein? A. No. Q. Do you know if they were friends? A. Assuming. Q. But you're assuming why? Just because he's on his plane? A. Yeah. Q. Okay. So you assume that the people that are listed on here are friends of Jeffrey Epstein's and that's why they are riding on his plane? A. I'm speculating. Q. I'm just not familiar with the -- because I've never been on a private flight -- with the manner in which you go about getting on one of these flights. I mean, you have to, I guess, know that Jeffrey Epstein has a plane, that it's going from a destination that you are at and want to go to, and that it's available and those kind of things. Can you tell me, enlighten me -- A. Well, it's not publicly offered, no. It would be no different than you jumping in your car and knowing you're going to the mall. I mean, it's not public information, you know, where planes are coming to and from, and you don't put your name out there to get 3527-003 Page 81 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009756 EFTA00159563 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 82 onboard a flight. Q. Does Jeffrey Epstein charge these people as passengers? A. I don't know. Q. Okay. Are these people such as Bill Clinton, does that mean that Bill Clinton called or somebody affiliated with Jeffrey Epstein to get on the plane or that Jeffrey Epstein called Bill Clinton and asked do you want a ride? MR. CRITTON: Form; predicate. THE WITNESS: I have no idea. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. No idea? A. No idea whatsoever. Q. Joe Pagano, do you know who that is? A. Yes. Q. What's his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, or what was it back in February -- sorry, March 17th of 2002, when he and and Jeffrey Epstein and Todd and one female were on this flight? A. I don't know to what extent or what his relationship is. He just was a passenger on the airplane. Q. Okay. And the next day -- sorry, two days later on the 19th of March, Bill Clinton flies again, 3527-003 Page 82 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009757 EFTA00159564 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 83 this time with Doug Band, three Secret Service agents, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and . Do 3 you remember that flight? 4 A. Where did we go? 5 0. Starts in JFK. 6 A. Right. 7 Q. Where is that? 8 MR. CRITTON: Do you have a date? 9 MR. EDWARDS: March 19th, 2002. 10 THE WITNESS: EGGW I believe is Luton, 11 England. 12 BY MR. EDWARDS: 13 Q. Okay. Do you remember flying to England? 14 A. I do remember flying to England. I just don't 15 remember that trip. What airplane were we in? We were 16 in the Boeing. 17 Q. Do you remember the purpose of the trip? 18 A. No. 19 Q. Do you know who Doug Band is? 20 A. I heard he's Clinton's, how would you say, 21 assistant. I mean, I've seen that in the newspaper, 22 seen it on CNN. 23 Q. Okay. Did you ever hear that Doug Band and 24 Ghislaine Maxwell were together, even for a day or a 25 night? 3527-003 Page 83 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009758 EFTA00159565 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 .7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 84 A. No. Q. Did you ever hear that Doug Band and Ghislaine Maxwell were the people attributed to introducing Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I don't know. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. All right. There's another flight here on January -- I can't read this upside down. Maybe it says May A. Looks like. Q. 22nd, 2002. Again, with President Bill Clinton, Can you tell me who and are? A. I don't remember. Q. Would you know them if you saw them? A. Probably not because the names don't even ring a bell. Q. All right. And then there are plenty of flights, many of flights where Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and are the primary passengers, or at least are some of the passengers on the flights, correct? A. Mm-hmm, yes. Q. And still, as you sit here, you being the 3527-003 Page 84 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009759 EFTA00159566 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 85 pilot of these flights, you're not sure what their relationship is or whether any of them were socially connected in any real way? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: No. When you're flying the airplane, there's a lot more going on than passengers' relations. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q • All right. You remember this person, , are you familiar with her at all? A. I remember the name, that's it. Q. What do you think her relationship is to Jeffrey Epstein? A. No idea. MR. CRITTON: What date are you on, Brad? MR. EDWARDS: Oh, sorry. I am at June 21st, 2002. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. That's not somebody that you specifically remember? A. Mm-mm, no. Q. No? Is that somebody that you think was a regular flyer for any period of time in Jeffrey Epstein's life? A. Not a regular. 3527-003 Page 85 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009760 EFTA00159567 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 86 Q. Okay. Jean Luc Brunel, is that a name that you know? A. Yes. Q. How do you know that name? A. Only because it's a unique name and his attire is very unique. So you remember certain things. So I know he who that is. Q. Do you know what he does? A. No. Q. Do you know his association with Jeffrey Epstein, if any? A. No, I don't know what the relationship is. Q. Have you ever heard of him owning or running or managing a modeling company? A. I have seen that in the paper a few years back. Q. Okay. Other than seeing it in the paper, have you ever talked to Jean Luc Brunel or Jeffrey Epstein about owning or running or managing a modeling company? A. No. Q. Do you know if Jeffrey Epstein's affiliated with the modeling company that's owned, run or managed by Jean Luc Brunel? A. No, I have no idea. Q. And seeing that this is a flight now, that 3527-003 Page 86 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009761 EFTA00159568 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 87 we're referring to the same flight on June 21st of 2002, that includes Jean Luc Brunel, , Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, -• those are the passengers of this flight, does that serve to jog your memory as to who is? A. No. I mean, you see how frequently we fly. I mean, it's -- the passengers in the back are so far removed from an operation of commanding an airplane like that, it's nothing that sticks in your head. Q. And you as the pilot, is there any way that you would know what's going on in the back of the airplane? A. No. My concerns are all on the cockpit. MR. CRITTON: Brad, the last one that you mentioned, was that the same date, June 21st, '02? MR. EDWARDS: Yes. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. There's another name here that I was going to ask you do you know. June 23rd, 2002, are you familiar with that name? A. No. Q. Also on the same flight with Jean Luc Brunel. That doesn't help to jog your memory either, right? A. No. Q. That's somebody that you remember as a 3527-003 Page 87 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009762 EFTA00159569 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 88 frequent passenger? A. Who are you referring to? Q. A. No. Q. Dr. Jarecki, is that somebody that you remember flying? A. I know the name. He may have been on the airplane once or twice. I'm guessing only. Q. Do you remember meeting him? A. Yes, I have met him. Q. Do you remember his purpose for being on the airplane? A. No, sir. Q. Amanda Venaro, do you remember her purpose for being on the airplane? A. No. MR. REINHART: Can we get a date? MR. EDWARDS: I was asking him if he remembered Amanda Venaro. I wasn't referring to a specific flight. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. You don't remember her being on the flight? A. I don't remember the name. Q. Me showing you the flight isn't going to jog the memory? 3527-003 Page 88 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009763 EFTA00159570 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 89 A. No. The name that would launch it first -- MR. CRITTON: Could I ask you a question? You have the original exhibit marked at the deposition. It looks like it's been highlighted. MR. EDWARDS: I highlighted it. MR. CRITTON: Oh, okay. So you've highlighted the original exhibit that's marked for the deposition? I just want the record to reflect that. MR. EDWARDS: Yeah. MR. CRITTON: Okay. Thank you. MR. EDWARDS: At the time I highlighted it I didn't realize I was holding on to the original exhibit. I didn't realize that until you just pointed that out. MR. CRITTON: I've noticed that. MR. EDWARDS: So now when I give it to you, I'm giving you my work product as well. I don't see how this works against you, but anyway. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Melissa Stall, is that a name that you remember? A. No. Q. Okay. And then Jean Luc Brunel is somebody who I noticed flew relatively frequently, so is that why 3527-003 Page 89 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009764 EFTA00159571 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 90 you -- that name jogs your memory a little better than some of these other people? A. He dresses uniquely. Q. In what way? A. Just loud clothes, so something that you would remember, that's all. Q. Do you know his role in Jeffrey's life? A. No. Q. Ever heard that he is affiliated with Jeffrey Epstein because they both have a sexual attraction to underage girls? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: You're making an assumption on that. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Have you ever heard that? MR. REINHART: He's asked you if you ever heard that. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. If your answer is no, it's no. A. I'm sorry, I thought you said they did. No, I have not. Q. Okay. I keep highlighting this name, , just because it looks like somebody that's regularly flying on the airplane. But the more that you 3527-003 Page 90 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009765 EFTA00159572 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 91 see her name, that doesn't change your opinion as to whether or not you remember her or what -- A. I remember the name, you know, that's all. Q. Do you remember about what age she was when she was flying on the airplane? A. No. Q. This could be somebody who is 50 years old or ten years old, for all you know? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: Yes. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. A. I mean, I would only be guessing at an age. Q. Yeah, but I mean, you don't remember her at all. So you don't -- A. I remember the name, exactly. Q. Other than the name? A. Right, yes, sir. Q. But you can't even come close to putting a face with that name? A. I mean, no. I mean, if you said draw her picture with -- I couldn't come close to even getting it. Q. Okay. You remember this flight where President Clinton, Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker, 3527-003 Page 91 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009766 EFTA00159573 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell? A. Yes. Q. From JFK to what is this, LPAZ? A. LPAZ, that is -- Q • South Africa or something? 92 A. No, it's the Azores Islands, Santa Maria. Q. Do you know the purpose of that trip? A. That was a fuel stop. Q. Okay. And do you know why Chris Tucker and Kevin Spacey were on that airplane? A. No. Q. Did you talk to them? A. They came up in the cockpit and said hello. So they conversed, nothing more. Q. Another name that is on here a few times, I'm specifically referring right now to the dates of September 23rd and 24th of 2002, is Ron Burkle. Do you <now who that is, Ron Burkle? A. I know what that is, yes. I didn't realize he was on our airplane. Q. Right now that is the first time that you remember Ron Burkle being on your airplane? A. Yeah. Q. You don't know the purpose for him being on that airplane? 3527-003 Page 92 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009767 EFTA00159574 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 A. No. Granted, I'm seeing this for the first time, so I'm trying to -- Q. Let me ask you that. Because this was given to me at a deposition of Dave Rogers, who I understand was the chief pilot for Mr. Epstein, and now you're the cheap pilot, but you always kind of worked in tandem, correct? A. Sure; we complemented each other. Q. And you both worked for the same company that 93 flies Jeffrey Epstein's airplanes, right? A. Yes. Q. So I was of the presumption, which may have been -- I may have been misled here, or I may have, you know, misunderstood the purpose behind this book or how it was created. I thought that you had probably seen this before at some point in time? A. Oh, no. Q. Did you know that Dave Rogers was keeping this book? A. No. I know he keeps a pilot log book. Q. Okay. But you didn't know he was keeping the names of the people who were on the airplane? A. No. It's not required, so I mean, it's.. . Q. So today is the first time that you are learning that the names of the people that are on the 3527-003 Page 93 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009768 EFTA00159575 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 94 airplane was kept by Dave Rogers? A. Yes, in his log book. Q. Okay. And it's my understanding when you fly back into the country through Customs, you have to report the people that are on the airplane, right? A. Yes. Q. And who would create that document or call that information into Customs? A. Whoever the captain was for the day. Q. At times would that be you? A. Yes. Q. Okay. And at times when you would come into the country with passengers -- well, not at times. Didn't you also have to report their date of birth? A. Sure. Q. At times weren't there also people that you would bring in from other countries into the United States that were under the age of 18? A. Yes. Q. And at some times those were flights that included Jean Luc Brunel and girls that were under the age of 18, right? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I don't remember those flights. 3527-003 Page 94 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009769 EFTA00159576 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 95 BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. You don't remember which flights it would have been where there would have been girls under the age of 18? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: Well, I would have to look at the flight logs. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. It's not illegal to have somebody under the age of 18 on a flight anyway, right? A. No, not at all. Q. Were you ever aware that you, as pilot, were transporting girls under the age of 18 who were supposed to be models? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I had no knowledge. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. You never knew who the people on the airplane were, what their purpose was, their role with Jeffrey A. Q. A. Q. A. Epstein or Jean Luc Brunel? No. All right. Do you know No, I don't remember that name. I remember the name. 3527-003 Page 95 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009770 EFTA00159577 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 96 Q. She flew frequently at least for a period of time. Do you remember that? A. Yes. Q. Is that somebody that you thought was familiar with the modeling industry or related to the modeling industry? A. No. Q. Okay. And these people, did Jeffrey Epstein ever tell you how he was associated with any of them? A. No. Q. Did you ever wonder how he was associated with any of them? A. No, never interested. Q. And on several of these -- on most of these, the names or initials of the people that are on the flight are listed. Do you know on the occasions where it lists generically two females or three females or six females, do you know why that was done? A. Just because we didn't know our -- the person's name. We tried to do the best we could to keep the records. Q. When you say "we tried to do the best that we could" -- A. Dave and I. Q. Okay. But the first time that you learned 3527-003 Page 96 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_0000977I EFTA00159578 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 97 that he kept anybody's names was today, right? A. Well, I didn't know he kept them in his log book. We would fill out the passenger manifest as we're -- having passengers' names in your pilot log book, he's probably the only person in the world that does that. Q. Okay. A. So when you were mentioning putting the names down, when you said female or male, you know, I was referring to the passenger manifest. Q. For each of these same flights, then, that we're referring to out of this log book that was marked as Composite Exhibit 1 in Dave Rogers' deposition, am I understanding you correctly, then, there would also be a passenger manifest for each of these flights? A. Yes. Q. Now, where would I find the passenger manifest? Who keeps that documentation? A. Corporate -- our corporate office. Q. Which is whom? A. Up in New York, Darren Indyke. Q. At what corporation is that, though? A. NES, LLC, I guess. MR. REINHART: Do you know for sure? THE WITNESS: I don't know for sure. I mean, 3527-003 Page 97 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009772 EFTA00159579 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 when you say -- we would just send them up to New York. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Did you ever keep a copy of them? A. No. Q. Why did you keep a passenger manifest? 98 A. Just for tracking of -- to have the times on there for -- MR. REINHART: Can I confer with him on one thing before you ask a question? MR. EDWARDS: Yeah, yeah. (Off the record discussion.) MR. REINHART: Mr. Edwards, let him amend his prior answer. I think he misunderstood the question. MR. EDWARDS: I don't know what question we're amounting the answer to. MR. REINHART: Let me clarify this way: As the passenger manifests, they are corporate documents of either JEGE or Hyperion Air, whatever company owns the plane. Mr. Visoski has physical custody of them. He retains them but they're not his documents. They're the corporate documents. So they're not in New York. THE WITNESS: Those are the ones that I have 3527-003 Page 98 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009773 EFTA00159580 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 99 at the airport office that I had turned into counsel that has the passenger names on them. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. A. It's called a passenger manifest. Q. Okay. MR. REINHART: Right. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. The passenger manifest, just so I understand exactly what that is, tell me. Tell me in your own words. A. It's departure time, the city, the landing time exactly and the passengers that would have been on that flight. Q. And at times on that passenger manifest would you list also generically female or male? A. Yes. That was the document I was referring to stating that if we didn't know a person, we did not go out of our way to find out a name. We just put in to account for how many people were on the aircraft at that time. Q. Who is currently in the custody or control -- sorry. Who currently maintains or has possession of the passenger manifest from 1998 through the present, through today for those airplanes that you flew related 3527-003 Page 99 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009774 EFTA00159581 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 100 to Jeffrey Epstein? A. I currently have, which counsel has now, 2005, I believe, until the present time. And the records previous to that I believe were turned into counsel with the previous investigation with Jack Goldberger's office, I believe. I believe they maintain those records. Q. When you say "turned into counsel," there are a lot of counsel involved here. A. Jack Goldberger's office, I believe. Q. When you say "the previous investigation," you're talking about the criminal investigation? A. Exactly, yes, sir. Q. And you're aware in that criminal investigation, obviously, that Jeffrey Epstein pled guilty to certain charges, correct? A. From what I read, yes. Q. Well, you did visit him in jail, right? A. Yes. We didn't talk about that. Q. Okay. You know in order to go to jail, though, you have to be convicted of some crime, right? MR. CRITTON: Form; argumentative. THE WITNESS: Yes. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. It wasn't like he was visiting the jail and 3527-003 Page 100 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009775 EFTA00159582 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 you were visiting and you happened to bump into each other. You actually went to see him while he was an inmate in jail? A. Right, yes. Q• Okay. So when we're talking about the 101 criminal investigation, we're talking about the criminal investigation revolving around the allegations of Jeffrey Epstein engaging in sex acts with minors? MR. CRITTON: Form. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. That's the criminal investigation you're talking about, right? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I don't know the full definition of really what happened there. I know that it was something to do with solicitation of prostitution. That's all I read. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. Were you aware that the allegations revolved around underage girls or girls under the age of 18? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I was aware it revolved around it, yes. 3527-003 Page 101 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_UXX0776 EFTA00159583 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Who first made you aware of that? 102 A. The newspaper. Q. Were you ever questioned by the police? A. I don't know who questioned me, actually. I did have a questioning session, but I don't even remember who questioned me. Q. Where did that take place? A. I don't remember. Q. At your house? A. No. I'm thinking it was Jack Goldberger's office, or it may have been downtown at the Palm Beach County Courthouse or something in that area there. Q. Okay. So it either happened at an attorney's office that represented -- A. Exactly, yeah, I think so. Q. -- Jeffrey Epstein or the other side? A. Yeah. Q. And during that questioning, is that when you turned over the passenger manifest from prior to 2005? A. Yes. Q. And you turned those manifests directly over to Jack Goldberger? A. Yes. Actually, I believe Dave Rogers did that. I wasn't in possession of those records. 3527-003 Page 102 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009777 EFTA00159584 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 103 Q. And for the passenger manifest prior to 2005, how far do those passenger manifests go back in time? A. They should go back, I guess, to 1991 or whenever we started existence. Q. And did you turn them over from 1991 all the way through to 2005? A. I don't know. I didn't turn them in. Dave Rogers did. Q. Are you in possession of a copy of any of those materials? A. No. Q. I thought that, you know, ten minutes ago when we were talking about this you said you had them back at an office or -- A. That was the office, the airplane office, which I've given to Bruce, which is the current log. He is in possession of them now. I had possession of them. Q. Okay. What he's in possession of -- just so I know what documents are where, he's in possession of the passenger manifests from 2005 through the present? A. Correct. Q. If I want to obtain the passenger manifests from 1998 through 2005, that's something that I would request from whom? THE WITNESS: Help me out. That's -- 3527-003 Page 103 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009778 EFTA00159585 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 104 MR. REINHART: If you know. THE WITNESS: I don't know who possesses them right now. They were turned into Jack Goldberger's office a year and a half or two years ago. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. You started out by indicating that you sent these passenger manifests, or a copy thereof, to Darren Indyke or someone at NES, LLC; is that correct? A. Correct. Q. If I requested them from NES, LLC, that's somebody at some point in time was in possession of all the passenger manifests? A. Sure. Q. And NES, LLC's address is the one you gave me at A. I believe so. I don't know what address they're using for that. I know that -- Q. But Darren Indyke's the attorney that I would call -- A. Yes, sir. Q. -- and he could probably steer me in the right direction? A. Yes. MR. CRITTON: Form. 3527-003 Page 104 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009779 EFTA00159586 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 BY MR.

I mean, you do know that these people are somehow involved with him, whether socially or business-wise or otherwise, and during the course of your years, you've made telephone calls on his behalf or to coordinate things with them right? A. Right. MR. CRITTON: Object to the form. You said 'these people.' BY MR. EDWARDS: O. I'm talking about . That's somebody you called before, right? A.

What would be a reason you called MR. CRITTON: Object to form. Probably the same reasons he said two hours ago, for scheduling purposes. But you've covered that. Go ahead and answer it again. THE WITNESS: For scheduling purposes, would be my only reason to call her. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. That's funny that you used the exact same words that Mr. Critton wants you to use. MR. CRITTON: It's what he said two hours ago. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. What would be the reason why you would call Ms. Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell? A. Same reason. Q. That's not somebody you call these days, though, right? A. I haven't seen her in some time. Q. What made you stop calling Ghislaine Maxwell where you thought at one point in time you thought she was a person to call related to your job? A. Just was no reason to. Q. Is that somebody who you think is still affiliated or associated with Jeffrey Epstein or his -- 3527-003 Page 117 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009792 EFTA00159599 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 118 whatever he does?

The first one is dated March 5th, 2005. Do you remember making this telephone call? And just for the record, this looks like a message that's being taken relative to a phone call that you made. MR. REINHART: So the question is does he remember making the phone call? 3527-003 Page 118 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009793 EFTA00159600 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Do you remember making that phone call after reading the message? A. Let me look at the date here. Okay. March. MR. REINHART: The question is, do you remember making the call? THE WITNESS: Okay, let me. "Person for the car will be here in 15 minutes to drop off foam and papers." I don't know. MR. EDWARDS: BY 119 Q. That doesn't mean anything to you? A. That doesn't -- I mean, you're talking four years ago. I can't answer that accurately. I mean.. . MR. REINHART: So the answer is you don't recall? THE WITNESS: Yeah, I don't recall. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. If you don't remember, that's fine. (Plaintiff's Exhibit Nos. 2 AND 3 were marked for identification.) BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. So I'll show you Exhibit 3, the same type of document, and I can make the representation that this was message pads provided by the state attorney's office relative to the criminal investigation revolving around 3527-003 Page 119 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009794 EFTA00159601 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 120 Jeffrey Epstein. So that's how I have these documents. I'm not trying to pull out old documents. MR. CRITTON: What's the date? MR. EDWARDS: March 19th. MR. REINHART: The question is, do you remember the call? THE WITNESS: "Tom from Midnight Express is at" -- help me out -- "convention center with new boat. They are two points -- two parts of this." BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. "Show"? A. "Show up the water" MR. REINHART: "On the water." THE WITNESS: "On the water and at the center." BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Do you remember making that call? A. No. I mean, "Tom from Midnight Express is at convention center with new boat. They are two parts of" -- I mean Q. But as Jeffrey Epstein's pilot, why would you be leaving such a message about Tom from Midnight Express relative to boats and a boat show? A. I help out with boat purchases or, you know, anything to do with, you know, that moves. So I mean, 3527-003 Page 120 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009795 EFTA00159602 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 121 Q. Okay. When you say "you help out with boat purchases," what do you mean? A. Give my opinion, whether or not whether to buy a certain boat. It's just a hobby. I have knowledge on boats. Not only just airplanes but, you know. Q. You give your opinion to whom? A. To Jeffrey. Q. Okay. And Jeffrey Epstein obviously, at least in your mind, you believe he wants your opinion? A. Yes. Q. Okay. So boats is another thing that the two of you have discussed? A. Yes. Q. All right. And so this a conversation or at least some evidence that a conversation existed between yourself and Jeffrey Epstein relative to a boat or a boat show? A. Correct. Q. Do you remember having that conversation? A. We've had many conversations about boats and different boat shows. If you're referring to this one in '05, I don't recall this one. Q. Okay. So aside from being a pilot -- which throughout this entire deposition I believe your 3527-003 Page 121 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009796 EFTA00159603 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 122 testimony has been, you know, you're just the pilot for him -- it looks like there's some other role that you're playing here in his life. I'm not suggesting that you are or you are not. I'm just saying from the appearance of this, it looks that way. Is there anything else that you want to tell me or that you want to clarify in terms of the role that you play in Jeffrey Epstein's life outside of being just his pilot? MR. REINHART: Let me object to form. He also told you he installs the audio and video equipment before. MR. EDWARDS: Correct. THE WITNESS: I have an interest in boats. You know, with the island, I don't think I bought any boats, you know, for the company, but he appreciates my opinion on boat purchases. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. A. Having the knowledge of aviation and things that move quite fast. So I have consulted with him on boat items. Q. How many boat purchases are you aware of Jeffrey Epstein making in the time period that you've known him? A. Two or three. 3527-003 Page 122 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009797 EFTA00159604 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 123 Q. And has he consulted with you on each of those purchases? A. Not every one of them, no. Q. Does he own any boats now that you're aware of? A. I don't know if he owns them or not. Q. Okay. Do you know of any boats that he controls or maintains? A. Himself or? Q. How about this -- I'll ask you this way. I don't want to split hairs with you here: I know we've been talking about corporations and things like that. A. Yes he. Q. Do you know of any boats that he is the person with the most control over? A. Yes. Q. Okay. Where would those boats be located and what kind of boat are we talking about? A. St. Thomas is the location. It would be a 34-foot inflatable boat. I know that one specifically. Q. Okay. Do you know when he made that purchase? A. Eight years ago, seven years ago. It was a while ago. Q. Is that something you had had input in? A. Not on that one specifically, no. 3527-003 Page 123 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009798 EFTA00159605 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 124 Q. Is there any other boat that you know of Jeffrey Epstein being the primary user of or the primary controller of? A. I mean, there's boats in St. Thomas. I mean, it's not part of my job, you know, what goes on with the boats or who controlled them. It's more of an opinion of what horsepower should be on the back of the boat, hull designs. It's out of my area. Q. But your sole responsibility or your sole obligation that you have ever had with Jeffrey Epstein relative to boats is just giving some opinions about the boat? A. Mm-hmm. Q. Is that yes? A. Yes, yes. Q. Okay. All right. Has he ever given you his opinions about boats? A. Sure. We've discussed it back and forth. Q. Other than boat conversations, have you ever talked other conversations, such as A. Cars. Q. Okay. How about such as -- have you ever known Jeffrey Epstein to have a girlfriend, somebody you consider a girlfriend? A. No. 3527-003 Page 124 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009799 EFTA00159606 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Q. 125 In the 18 years and all the travels you had with him, do you know anything about Jeffrey Epstein's sex life?

I have no idea. Q. That's something that you just wouldn't know because you're up in the cockpit? A. That is correct. THE WITNESS: Could I take a two-minute bathroom break just to lose my coffee? MR.

I'm going to let you elaborate on who these people are that you believe may have been under the age of 18 and why you think they were on the airplane? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: We've had younger people on the airplane that have been, you know, with their family members, like you said. I don't remember transporting anybody that was of questionable age. I'm not -- I'd only be guessing at somebody's age if I didn't ID them at the foot of the airplane. So I can't guess to their age. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. All right.

A. (Witness shakes head.) Q. You have to a yes or no. A. I'm sorry, no. Q. "Each time they would travel to one of these destinations, the same pattern of sexual abuse would occur, often with a vast array of aspiring models, actresses, celebrities, and/or other females, including minors from all over the world." Again, that's something you have no personal knowledge of? A. No. Q. Has anybody ever indicated that if you did have personal knowledge of some of these things, then you could also have been implicated in some form of a crime? Has any law enforcement or anybody ever indicated that to you? A. No. Q. Okay. Is that something you've ever worried about? A. No. Q. All right.

Did you ever leave in one of his airplanes out of Turkey? A. I'd have to look at the records. I don't recall Turkey. O. Do you ever remember taking any minor girls out of Turkey? A. No, I don't remember. Q. What records would you have to look at to see if you took people out or left out of Turkey? A. I'd have to look at the flight logs, but I personally don't remember flying into Turkey. Q. And would the flight logs coming into the United States from Turkey indicate the names of the people on the plane? A. They might. Q. Okay. Where would I get those particular flight logs that would have that information? A. Depended upon what year you're talking. Q. We're talking in this particular complaint between 1998 and 2002. A. I'm not -- I don't possess those passenger manifests. Q. Do you know who would possess those? A. That would be I guess -- MR.

BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Who did you give them to? A. Actually, I didn't give them to anybody. Dave Rogers was in possession of those logs. So I don't know where they are right now. Q. You're still thinking that the best evidence of that, any flight that may have left out of Turkey, would be in the flight logs that's marked as Composite Exhibit 1, or are we talking about the manifests that we've been referring to? A. I don't know how accurate that log book is or even how accurate the passenger manifest is. Q. Okay. So there may be no actual documentation indicating a flight leaving out of Turkey when, in fact, a flight may have left out of Turkey? A. Correct. Q. Okay. The Czech Republic is the next place listed. Is that a place you've flown to or from in a Jeffrey Epstein airplane? A. More specific, could you name the city? Q. I can't name the city, at least the complaint doesn't name the city. But I've been to the Czech Republic before.

CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: No knowledge of that. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Ever picked up girls that looked young, many of whom who spoke no English? Do you ever remember that? A. Zero, do not. Q. All right. The complaint goes on to say, "Plaintiff was required to be sexually exploited by defendant's adult male peers, including royalty." So I'm going to talk, do you have any familiarity with Prince Andrew? A. I know who he is. Q. Was he ever on the airplane? A. He may have been on the airplane. Q.

A. I don't remember. I know that happened, but I couldn't be accurate. Q. Has Prince Andrew ever been on the airplane at the same time as a young girl, to the best of your memory and knowledge? A. To the best of my knowledge, no. Q. This also says politicians, talking about local or U.S. politicians. Do you remember certain politicians being on the airplane? A. No -- I mean yes, I do. Q. What politicians would that be? A. President Clinton. Q. Okay. Who else? A. Former president of Israel -- help me out with the name, Barak? Q. Ehud Barak? A. Yes, those are the two that I remember.

Where is Teterboro? A. In New Jersey. Q. And what was the purpose of that flight, do you know? A. I don't know. Q. Was Jeffrey Epstein on the flight? A. I'd have to look at the flight logs to guarantee. Q. Anything about that flight stick out in your mind? A. None. Q • Such as a fine needing to be paid because it left after 10:00 p.m.? A. For that was the flight, yes. Q. You remember that? A. It's coming back to me. Q. And do you remember young girls being on that flight? A. No. Q. All right. A. I remember the fine. Q. Do you remember who paid the fine? MR. CRITTON: Hold on. Let me object to form of the question. 'Do you remember' it suggests that there were.

EDWARDS: Q. Okay. Do you remember who else was on that flight that left after 10 p.m.? A. No, I do not. 0. Do you remember why it left after 10 p.m.? A. No, I do not. Q. Do you remember Jeffrey Epstein instructing you to wait until after 10 p.m. to leave? A. No. Q. Would you have listened to him if he had told you -- if he had instructed you to do that? A. I don't understand the question. Q. Well, if he told you wait until after 10 p.m., I realize there's going to be a fine, but wait until after 10 p.m. to leave, intentionally leaving after 10 p.m., do you remember that instruction ever -- A. No, I don't remember that instruction. Q. Okay. A. I mean, it just happened to be departing after 10 and there is a penalty for leaving after 10 for noise. So there was no intention to.. . Q. All right. This also talks about this particular person 15 years old being sexually exploited by businessmen and/or other professional or personal acquaintances. Are you aware of other personal or 3527-003 Page 155 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009830 EFTA00159637 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 156 professional acquaintances of Jeffrey Epstein also sexually abusing or exploiting little kids or underage girls on your airplane? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: No. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. If you had been aware that Mr. Epstein was -- and by this -- this is more in the form of a hypothetical, and that I'm not going to suggest to you it's a fact that he was. But if you had been aware that every single day Jeffrey Epstein's goal was to locate underage girls for the purposes of sex, and either have sex with them on the airplane or at some other designation that you were destination that you were traveling him to, would you have continued to pilot those planes? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: You said it was hypothetical? BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Right, it is a hypothetical. A. Why would I want to answer that? Because you're being hypothetical. I mean, it would obviously be wrong. Q. Sure. Well, a hypothetical question is a legal question that I'm allowed to ask. 3527-003 Page 156 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_UHK0831 EFTA00159638 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 157 A. Okay. Q. And I'm just asking you if you did have knowledge that Jeffrey Epstein was having sex with little girls either on the plane or at a place that you were taking him to or from on a daily basis, that's what he did, would you have continued to be his pilot? MR. CRITTON: Let me object. Object to the form. It's argumentative. It has no more value than assuming he was chopping up bodies or anybody was chopping up bodies in the plane you're flying. What difference does it make? Form. MR. EDWARDS: What difference does it make in a case about him having sex with little girls? I'm not going to argue with you about it. You've stated your objection. MR. CRITTON: Exactly. It's an argumentative question. MR. EDWARDS: I'm not going to argue with you about it. MR. CRITTON: You're arguing with him about now. MR. EDWARDS: No, I'm asking him the hypothetical. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Can you answer that? Would you have continued 3527-003 Page 157 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009832 EFTA00159639 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 158 to be a pilot for somebody who's traveling to and from destinations with the goal of having sex with underage girls? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: It could be any person. It doesn't have to be Jeffrey Epstein, then, right? BY MR. EDWARDS: Q • True. A. No, I wouldn't pilot an airplane if there was wrongdoing going on. Q. That you knew about? A. That I knew you about, sure. Q. Me reading this complaint to you, is this the first time you've heard these allegations -- A. Yes. Q. -- against Mr. Epstein? A. Yes. Q. It goes on to say, "On one of Epstein's birthdays, a friend of Epstein sent him three 12-year-old girls from France who spoke no English for the purpose of -- for defendant to sexually exploit and abuse. After doing so, they were sent back to France the next day." Are you familiar with that occasion? MR. CRITTON: Form. 3527-003 Page 158 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009833 EFTA00159640 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 THE WITNESS: Never heard of such a thing. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Do you know of any friends that he has in France that would send him birthday -- a birthday present? A. No. Q. Do you know of him receiving any birthday 159 gifts or birthday people from anyone? A. Never. Q. This particular person that filed this complaint, Jane Doe 102, indicates "Defendant and Ghislaine Maxwell acknowledged and celebrated plaintiff's 16th birthday." Do you remember them celebrating somebody who you flew on the airplane's 16th birthday? A. I don't recall. Q. Any of this jog your memory as to who is? A. No. Q. "From the age of 15, plaintiff" -- this Jane Doe 102 -- "was sexually exploited and abused by defendant on a daily basis and often multiple times each day." So going back, was there ever a day where you were with Jeffrey Epstein where you could observe him 3527-003 Page 159 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009834 EFTA00159641 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 160 and during an entire day? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I don't remember , so I couldn't answer the question. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. "In September 2002, Defendant Epstein purchased a commercial round-trip airline ticket and provided a passport, U.S. currency and accommodations for plaintiff to fly to Thailand." Do you remember him doing that for anybody around that time period? A. No, sir. MR. CRITTON: What was the date? MR. EDWARDS: September 2002. MR. CRITTON: Okay, thanks. MR. EDWARDS: I have here -- and this is actually my only copy, so I don't mind marking it as a composite exhibit, but we'll either have to copy this while thing or we'll have an agreement of counsel. It's the visitor inmate log from when Mr. Epstein was in jail in Palm Beach. MR. CRITTON: Well, before we get started, it is now 1:15. We started at 10:00. MR. EDWARDS: We didn't really start at 10:00. MR. CRITTON: Shortly thereafter. I was here 3527-003 Page 160 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009835 EFTA00159642 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 161 pretty much after 10. But we've been here since 10:00. I want to take a lunch break. MR. EDWARDS: Let's do it. MR. CRITTON: For an hour? MR. EDWARDS: Sure. (A break was had at 1:15 p.m.) BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. All right. I looked through the inmate log of the visitors who visited Jeffrey Epstein and your name appears one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight times. A. Okay. Q. Seem to be accurate in terms of how many times you went to visit him? A. I thought six, but yes, that's.. . Q. I'll let you review the records and tell me if you dispute any of that record. And I'll go ahead and mark that as Composite Exhibit 5. (Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 5 was marked for identification.) MR. REINHART: It's two pages. MR. EDWARDS: Two pages. MR. REINHART: Okay. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Seem accurate? 3527-003 Page 161 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009836 EFTA00159643 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 A. Yes. Q. 162 Okay. Jeffrey Epstein's plea, I believe, was June 30th, 2008. I think that's when he was taken in custody from there. Your first visit is July 3rd, 2008. And the other name on that visit is Igor 2inoviev. Did you go with Igor to visit Jeffrey Epstein? A. Yes. Q. Why did you go with Igor? A. It just happened he wanted to see us both at the same time. There was no apparent reason. Q. you? How did you know that Jeffrey wanted to see A. I don't recall who called and told me that he wanted to see me. I couldn't give you an accurate name, whether it was, you know, his attorney, Darren. And actually, I would put a lot weight to I think it was Darren, his attorney said Q. That would have made a phone call to you that A. Yeah, to Q. go. And what did you talk about with Jeffrey Epstein four days after he pled guilty to offenses that landed him in jail? A. I think the first visit was how disappointed or how scared he was, you know, being inside there. We 3527-003 Page 162 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009837 EFTA00159644 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 163 just talked about general happenings that go on in there. Q. What did he say? A. It's terrible; it's cold; he can't sleep. They wake him up every two hours. You know, just items like that, uncomfortable things. We talked about the airplanes a great deal. You know, we got major maintenance on the big airplane, so we discussed that a little bit. And then it was really just how uncomfortable he was there. Q. How long did you visit with him on that first visit, July 3rd? A. I think we stayed the full hour. was? Q. All right. Is that what the time allotment A. I believe it is, yeah. I don't think you could leave early, or I'm not aware that you could leave early, until later on we found out you could stay for five minutes or longer. But I don't think any of us knew that was -- once you got in there, you stayed there for the hour. Q. Okay. So you talked to him for an hour and for the most part it was just about the conditions and his disappointment with the conditions? A. Sure, yeah, absolutely. 3527-003 Page 163 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009838 EFTA00159645 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 164 Q. And did Igor talk to him as well? A. Briefly. I mean, not that much. You're going back a little ways again to remember exactly what was discussed. You know, he asked how his family was doing. I guess Igor's got a son, I think he asked how his son was doing. You know, just general questions like that. Q. Did you ride to the jail that day with Igor? A. I believe we did. I believe I met Igor probably at Jeffrey's house and picked him up, or if not, we may have met at the airport and drove together. But we did drive together on that occasion. Q. In what vehicle did you drive? A. The Hummer. Q. That's the vehicle you described earlier as the company vehicle? A. Yes, sir. Q. Is that a vehicle paid for by Jeffrey Epstein? A. Meaning? Q. Well, is that a vehicle paid for by you? A. What do you mean "paid for"? Q. Did you purchase the vehicle with your money? A. I didn't purchase that one, no. Q. Do you know if it was purchased by Jeffrey Epstein or a corporation of Jeffrey Epstein's? A. Probably a corporation. 3527-003 Page 164 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009839 EFTA00159646 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 165 MR. CRITTON: Form; move to strike. Sounds like a guess. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. To the best of your knowledge, that's how most of the items that you've discussed -- that being the Boeing and the Gulfstream -- they were usually held in corporate names, to your knowledge? A. To my knowledge, exactly, yes. Q. And so when you're saying the -- when you're calking about the Hummer vehicle and you're stating that it's likely a corporate entity, is that just something that you're guessing about, or do you have knowledge? A. No, I'm just guessing. Q. Okay. A. I have no proof -- Q. -- of ownership of who it's registered to or anything like that? A. Exactly. Q. Is it registered to you? A. No, no. Q. So it's registered to somebody other than you? A. Exactly. Q. Okay. A. I just drive it, I guess. Q. Okay. So on July 5th, 2008, you go back to 3527-003 Page 165 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009840 EFTA00159647 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 166 see him in jail again, and again, Igor Zinoviev is listed as a visitor. Did you go with him together on that occasion? A. I didn't even realize it was two days after the first visit. Q. Well, I mean, you see where this is going? A. Yeah, I do. It gets further apart, yeah. Q. Do you remember what the discussion was on 7/5/DS? A. No, because it's probably similar to the first one. I mean, we talked -- actually, one of the visits we talked about fishing and just trying to -- you know, we were talking about things that would just occupy his mind with intelligent conversation that he probably wasn't getting there. So for that hour of the day, I tried to give my best of intelligent conversation to him. Q. Okay. On his visitor log you were the first one to go visit him. Did you know that? A. I did not know that. I wasn't aware of that. MR. CRITTON: Let me just object to form to the last question. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Well, at least if these records are accurate, which are the records that were provided to us by the 3527-003 Page 166 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009841 EFTA00159648 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 .7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 167 facility that was holding Jeffrey Epstein, they're accurate, your name is the first one listed on the top of the sheet? A. Right. There may have been earlier dates. I have no idea. Q. Well, you know, the first date that he could have been in there it looks like was 7/1/08 and then, you know, so I guess somebody could have seen him 7/1 or 1/2, but those records were never provided to us. You see we were provided a whole big stack. A. I understand. Q. The next date I'm going to talk to you about is 7/12/08. A. Uh-huh. O. It looks, again, like it's yourself and Igor Zinoviev? A. Mm-hmm. Q. And that's something we talked about in this deposition. I'm going to ask you again, I don't know that you elaborated last time, what is your understanding of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein? Is that a friend of his? A. I don't know his job description. I mean, he's somebody that's around a lot, but I don't know his exact job description. His English is, to say, not 3527-003 Page 167 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009842 EFTA00159649 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 168 100 percent, so conversation with somebody that doesn't fully understand you, you know, you get lost in translation a little bit. So I don't Q. So on these three visits to the jail, the first three that we're talking about that we've talked about so far, each of those times you traveled to and from the jail with Igor? A. Mm-hmm. Q. Yes? A. Yes, yes. Q. And each of those time, is it fair to say you had some form of communication either on the way to the jail or A. Sure. Q. -- to the jail? A. Yeah. Q. Since you're going to see an inmate in the jail, is it a safe assumption a portion of that conversation was about the person that you're going to see and possibly the crime that was committed? A. Yes, that would be a good assumption. Q. Okay. And what was the form -- what was the substance of that conversation that you can remember related to Jeffrey Epstein and the location you were going to visit him? 3527-003 Page 168 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTAJW0009843 EFTA00159650 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 169 A. I think Igor and I discussed on trying to be upbeat and not look at the position that he's in sitting across the table from us, to be upbeat and uplift his spirits. Q. Did you and Igor discuss whether or not you were going to talk to him about his plea of guilty or the fact that he's not registered as a sex offender? A. No. Q. Or whether you were going to stay away from those topics? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: We never -- we don't discuss that amongst ourselves and/or with Jeffrey in any way, form. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. But that's not -- I realize you didn't discuss that. You've told me that. A. Right, but we didn't discuss that even prior to going in, as you asked. Q. Okay. So your discussion was mainly hey, let's be upbeat? A. Yes. Q. And that was to, in essence, maintain his spirits or raise his spirits? A. Exactly. 3527-003 Page 169 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009844 EFTA00159651 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 170 Q. Okay. And you were doing that as a friend of his, not just his pilot, right? A. I felt honored that he asked me to come and give support like that, because prior to him going away, it was known to us that there was going to be no visitors, because I had offered to him that I would be happy to come and visit him if he deemed it necessary, and he says no, I'm not going to have anybody. Q. So -- A. I guess it was so bad there, that he may have changed his mind and wanted to have some visitors. Q. When did you have this conversation with him where he indicated he was not going to have visitors while he was in jail? A. I don't exactly remember. It may have been on the trip heading to Palm Beach, the last flight. Q. From his island, from St. Thomas I guess it would be from? A. I forgot where it started from. It might have been New York or the island, one of the two. I don't remember the last flight. Q. And I mean, did at least the fact come up that hey, this a person who you're is going to be in jail for some time? A. Mm-hmm, yes. 3527-003 Page 170 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009845 EFTA00159652 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 171 Q. And in the course of that conversation, again, the allegations and the unusual I'll call it case against him, that didn't come up between you and Mr. Epstein? A. I never talked about it with him. Q. And at that point in time, what were you aware of in terms of the number of girls that he was alleged to have had sexual some sort of sexual relationship with him at his Palm Beach house? A. What was the question? How many girls? Q. Yeah, how many girls were you -- A. Aware of? Q. -- aware of? A. None. I wasn't aware of any, to be honest. O. The next visit is on 7/17/08 and it's Igor Zinoviev and somebody named Jean Rene and then yourself. Do you know who Jean Rene is? A. No. Q. Do you think that that visit, that you visited him at the same time that Jean Rene visited? MR. CRITTON: What's the date? MR. EDWARDS: It's 7/17/08. THE WITNESS: No, I don't know a Jean Rene, unless somebody came after. I mean, I don't -- I don't know a Jean Rene. 3527-003 Page 171 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009846 EFTA00159653 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 172 BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. And then before you visited him again, the visitors are listed as or A. Mm-hmm. Q. Mainly those two individuals. And they list as addresses, A. Uh-huh. as their residence? Q. Given your previous testimony, does that surprise you that they list those that address as their residence? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I've seen them there, so I mean, I'm not surprised. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. Did you know that they were visiting him in jail? A. No, I didn't know who was scheduled to see him or whatever. Q. Did Jeffrey talk to you at any point in time about or A. No, not at all. MR. REINHART: Can we get a time frame for that? Ever? MR. EDWARDS: Oh, no, well, I was talking -- 3527-003 Page 172 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009847 EFTA00159654 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 173 I'm sorry. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. I was talking right now about in the conversations that you had with him that we've discussed with you and him in the jail facility. Did he discuss with you A. No, no. Q• or Did he talk to you about whether or not you should talk to anybody about his criminal investigation or possible litigation? A. No, not at all. Q. The next time you see him is on August 9th, 2008, at the jail. In that occasion it mentions as his visitors that day and Larry Visolli. Did you go to the jail with and that time? A. No. Who was on there? Which one are you referring to? Q. The next one, I tried to highlight them just that A. Right, that one. MR. REINHART: 8/9. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. 8/9/08? A. One of those two we all drove together. I 3527-003 Page 173 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009848 EFTA00159655 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 174 don't remember which one it was. It was either the 9 or the 16, and then the other one I met everybody there. So I can't be accurate on which time we all drove together. Q. How did you coordinate driving together? A. I don't exactly remember now. I mean, I think and I may have conversed on the phone and said do you want to meet at Jeffrey's house and we all drive together? Does it make sense to get together and drive one car. Q. Is that jail visit the result of Jeffrey Epstein requesting your presence there, or is that the result of you wanting to go see him as a friend in jail? A. A combination of both. I'm sure if I said, Hey, I'd like to come to jail and visit you, that he would either say yea or nay. Q. Okay. And you said at least on one of those occasions you rode to and from the jail with and A. Yes. Q. And during any of obviously, when you're in the car together -- well, who's driving the car? A. I was driving, I believe. Q • And that's the Hummer again? A. Actually, I think we take one of the suburbans 3527-003 Page 174 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009849 EFTA00159656 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 at the house. Q. Those are cars that Jeffrey Epstein owns, to your knowledge? A. I don't know who owns them. Q. What cars are there that -- I know with this 175 case we're dealing with a lot of corporations and it's not like asking me, Hey, what car do you own? But what cars are you aware that are -- that you believe are used primarily by Jeffrey Epstein? A. Used primarily by Jeffrey Epstein, a Mercedes S500 sedan. I don't remember the year on that one. Q. Okay. A. There's a Cadillac Escalade. Q. Okay. A. Those are his two main cars that he would be driven in Q. What are the other cars that you regularly see parked at his Palm Beach mansion, if there are any? A. It would be a whole array. Half the time the parking lot is full because of construction workers, yards keepers. Q. Okay. Fair enough. What vehicle does drive or drive when they're down here, if you know? A. I mean, anybody has a choice to pick out a car 3527-003 Page 175 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009850 EFTA00159657 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 176 or whatever there. I've seen driving a Mercedes convertible. Q. Is that different than the Mercedes S500 sedan? A. Yes, I think it's different. Q. When you say they have basically a choice of cars to drive -- A. Well, there's cars in the lot there. Q. Obviously, they can't get in one of the construction workers' cars? A. No. MR. REINHART: Let him finish his question. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. So that's kind of what I'm getting at. What other cars do you think that Jeffrey Epstein has -- whether it's titled, I don't know -- A. Right. Q. but he is the person in control of that vehicle? A. Right. Q. What other vehicles do you think he's controlling in Palm Beach? A. In Palm Beach? Q. We've named the Mercedes S500 sedan, Cadillac Escalade? 3527-003 Page 176 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_UXX0851 EFTA00159658 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 177 A. Right. Q. And I've identified a Mercedes convertible? A. Right. Q. In addition to that, are there any others that you're aware of? A. That he's in control of? Q. Yes. A. No. Q. And does the conversation come up between and and yourself about the reason why Jeffrey Epstein is in jail? MR. REINHART: Can we get a time frame? MR. EDWARDS: At any time. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. At any time have you ever had that exact conversation ever come up? A. No, we didn't talk about that among ourselves really. Q. And have you ever been told that provides the role of a sex slave to Jeffrey Epstein? That's just her role in life? MR. CRITTON: Form. MR. REINHART: That's just have you been told that. THE WITNESS: No. 3527-003 Page 177 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009852 EFTA00159659 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 178 BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Have you been led to believe that by anybody? A. No. MR. CRITTON: Form. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Do you have any -- based on your observations, do you have any other opinion as to what role she plays in Jeffrey Epstein's life, if any? A. I don't have an opinion on what the role is. Q. Do you agree with the criminal statutes that are in place to protect young children from sexual predators? Do you agree with those statutes? MR. CRITTON: Form. MR. REINHART: I'm going to direct him not to answer the question. It's irrelevant and it's not likely to lead to discoverable evidence what his opinion is on a law that's been passed by the legislature of Florida. MR. EDWARDS: Just so the record is clear, I don't know that we did this last time, but it's been alleged in the complaint it has been alleged in several complaints that Jeffrey Epstein particularly prays on vulnerable disadvantaged females, underage females, and that in order to gain access to the multitude of underage females, 3527-003 Page 178 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_UHK0853 EFTA00159660 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 179 he utilizes various people, schedulers, pilots, handlers and other associates and co-conspirators that have a similar mentality; that is, people that do not agree with laws related to sex abuse and abuse of children. And that's why this line of questioning regarding whether or not this witness has a motive or a bias or was involved in conversations related to his motive or bias, to continue to work for Jeffrey Epstein or believed the same beliefs of Jeffrey Epstein, is at least reasonably calculated to the lead the discovery of admissible evidence, and that is the argument at least along those lines being made to the judge regarding these questions. MR. CRITTON: Can we talk for just one minute? Because maybe -- can I talk with -- well, I know I can talk with Bruce. Let's just take a break. (A break was had at 2:45 p.m.) MR. EDWARDS: We're back on the record. Do you have the same position? MR. REINHART: Let me say this: He previously said he would have never allowed anything on the plane to be done illegally. If you want to ask if he agrees with the law applied by the legislature -- do you agree the law passed by the 3527-003 Page 179 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009854 EFTA00159661 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 180 state of Florida should be complied with? THE WITNESS: I don't know what the law is. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. The laws in place to protect children under the age of 18 from being sexually touched, fondled, molested by people over the age of 24, do you agree with those laws? A. Yes. Q. And you agree that persons who commit a violation of those laws should be prosecuted? A. Persons that do that. MR. CRITTON: Form. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Yes, persons that do that. A. Persons that do that, absolutely. Q. And if you were to receive confirmed -- what you would perceive as confirmed information that Jeffrey Epstein was one of those persons, would you continue to be employed by or alongside of Jeffrey Epstein? MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation. THE WITNESS: You're assuming that there's quilt. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. No. I'm saying, hypothetically, if you were convinced that Jeffrey Epstein was guilty of those acts 3527-003 Page 180 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009855 EFTA00159662 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 181 which he pled guilty to MR. CRITTON: Form. MR. REINHART: Can we -- for purposes of your hypothetical, what facts do you want him to assume are true? You said the facts to which he pled guilty, but the witness already said he doesn't know what he pled guilty to. He knows the charge he doesn't know the facts. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Solicitation of prostitution of a minor, somebody under the age of 18. MR. EDWARDS: That's the charge, right, solicitation of prostitution of a minor? MR. CRITTON: No. I think you've got it wrong. I'll object to the form. MR. EDWARDS: Okay. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Then we'll handle the question this way: If you were to believe based on information and evidence that Mr. Epstein engaged in sex or some form of sex acts with people of the age range of 12, 13, 14, 15 years old, would you continue your employment with Mr. Epstein? MR. CRITTON: Form; speculation. THE WITNESS: I would certainly be speculating 3527-003 Page 181 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009856 EFTA00159663 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 182 and I have to discuss it with my wife long and hard. I don't think I could give you a correct and honest answer at this time. BY MR. EDWARDS: O. Okay. Given the allegations that have been made in this case, is this something that you have discussed with anyone other than your attorney? A. No, not really. Only from the fact that they're allegations and there's still a lot more work, I 'm sure, to be discovered. MR. CRITTON: Let me put on there, for the -- if this deposition is not typed -- and we request it -- I'd like at least this portion where Mr. Edwards' last question back about five pages worth, so just if you could mark it from this page back about five pages. If nobody requests the deposition, I'd just like those five pages. MR. EDWARDS: I'm going to request the deposition, so.. . MR. CRITTON: Okay. We'll mark this then, so you could tell me where it is, approximately. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Is there a reason why you have not discussed with Jeffrey Epstein the allegations that have been made 3527-003 Page 182 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009857 EFTA00159664 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 183 against him and the allegations contained within many of these civil complaints on behalf of girls who were under the age of 18? Is there any reason why you haven't discussed that? MR. REINHART: If that's based on conversations you had with your lawyer, then don't disclose what you and your lawyer talked about. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Correct. A. I have not spoken to Jeffrey about any of this, and it was my understanding that is illegal to have conversation about this. So I've never presented any questions to him reference this case or any others. Q. It was your understanding that it was illegal to talk to Jeffrey Epstein about the allegations made against Jeffrey Epstein? A. Yes, or anything to do with the case. That's why we never discussed any portions of it. Q. Okay. So -- A. I may be wrong in that assumption, but I don't -- Q. So the reason why you haven't discussed this with Jeffrey Epstein is you believed it was illegal? A. Correct, yes. Q. Who led you to believe that it was illegal? 3527-003 Page 183 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009858 EFTA00159665 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 184 MR. REINHART: Again, if it was a discussion you had with any lawyer, then you can just give a name, don't give a discussion of the conversation you had. THE WITNESS: It was my own assumption. mean, just basic criminal knowledge of knowing you're not supposed to -- you know, if somebody's in trial or in a deposition or whatever, I don't -- I didn't think it was appropriate to discuss the matter with them. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. So the next two visits and I think the last two visits we'll talk about are on 9/6/2008. Actually, it looks like you visited him twice in one day; is that right? A. I don't think that's possible. I mean, that will show how accurate the court record is. There's no way. Q. You wouldn't have visited him twice in one day? A. No. I think there's only one visitation per day. Q. Okay. And it looks like the same visitors each time, except that it says for period three and then the next one's for period four. So there are two 3527-003 Page 184 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009859 EFTA00159666 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 different periods. Was there ever a time when they 185 allowed you to stay for more than an hour? A. No, not to my knowledge. Q. Okay. So again, it's and , same questions: Did you ever ask them their involvement with Jeffrey Epstein? A. Absolutely not. Q. And again, what was the discussion with Jeffrey Epstein along with and A. On the last visits, it was mainly airplane stuff and later on in the visitations, we were advised that you could leave early, so I would only stay for maybe 30 minutes and then, you know, Jeffrey would continue his conversations with them and then I would just wait outside. Q. Okay. A. So I would do my business with him talking about airplanes or whatever I had coming up and then exit. Q. And then why did you stop visiting him in jail after that September 6th, 2008, visit? A. I was never called back to visit. Q. Okay. Well, shortly after that then he was on work release? 3527-003 Page 185 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009860 EFTA00159667 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 $ 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 186 A. Well, that's true. Q. Right? A. Yeah. Q. So the next times you would have gone to see him would have been at the Florida Science Foundation, where we talked about earlier? A. I've seen him there, yes. Q. Okay. And in fact, I think you said you saw him 20 or 30 times -- A. Sure. Q. -- over the last two years, last year and a half or so? A. Yes. Q. And how long would you stay each time at the Florida Science Foundation and talk to him? A. Like my original answer, ten, fifteen minutes. Q. Okay. And how frequently would you talk to Jeffrey Epstein while he was at the Florida Science Foundation? MR. REINHART: I'm sorry, you're talking in person or all conversations?

The question dealt with the structural architectural changes you're aware of. A. There has been a kitchen extension, but when you asked the question, I was unaware of when that actually took place. So to be accurately answering your question, I know there's been a kitchen extension. don't exactly know when that transpired, but... Q. How do you know about the extension? How do you know this happened? A. I knew what the kitchen looked like before and after the extension and I don't -- I thought it was during the hurricane season when they actually did that extension. Q. Who made you aware of it? A. Nobody. I just walked in the kitchen and noticed a bigger room than what it was. Q. All right. Do you know who Martin Nowack is? A. No. Q. Do you ever remember him being on your airplane, or that name of somebody being on your airplane? 3527-003 Page 190 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009865 EFTA00159672 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 191 A.

All right. And were you deeded the property that we spoke about earlier on the New Mexico ranch? Is that deeded to you? A. Yes. O. And has it been since back in, I think you said 1998 or 1999 or whenever it was? A. Yes. Q. Okay. And do you know -- and did you build a house on it then? A. Yes, I did. Q. Okay. And that's a property that I think you said you have a mortgage on it, that's a property that you pay mortgaged that property? A. Yes, sir. Q. All right. And as well, the home you own here, you have a mortgage on that property as well? A. That is correct. Q. All right. Are you familiar with a vehicle, a Chevy Suburban 1500, year 1999? A. Do you have a color? Q. No. I can tell you the plate. I could tell you the VIN. Chevy Suburban -- Chevy Suburban 1500, registered to Larry Visoski? A. That would be mine. That's a white one, then. Q. Okay. When did you get it? 3527-003 Page 193 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009868 EFTA00159675 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 194 A. I'm guessing. It was probably two years old when I got it. Maybe '99. Maybe '01, '02. Q. Something you still drive? A. Occasionally. It's kind of a beat up car now, so it's kind of a knock around. Q. Best of your knowledge, it stays parked at your house? A. Recently it's been in Jeffrey's driveway, but.. . Q. Why? A. Just for an extra car to use. Q. For Jeffrey to use? A. No. I mean, for anybody that would come to the house to help out. Igor I think has driven the car before. Q. How did it come about that you began to park the Chevy Suburban, the 1999 car that we're talking about, at Jeffrey's house? A. When there was more activity here in West Palm Beach. We were never usually coming here that often, and now with all this going on, with Jeffrey being in town longer, we needed more cars and transportation. So my car was just sitting in the driveway at home while I was driving the Hummer. So I decided to let them use the Hummer at the house. 3527-003 Page 194 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009869 EFTA00159676 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 195 Q. Well, we've just described this wide array of cars that Jeffrey had for people to use -- A. Well, you said for him to use. MR. CRITTON: Hold it. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Is there a reason why? MR. CRITTON: Wait. You guys are both talking over one another. You need to let him wait and finish his question because if I want to assert an objection, neither one of you gives me a chance, which may be the plan. Form. MR. EDWARDS: Yeah, we have a conspiracy against you. MR. CRITTON: I knew it. I'll take that as an admission. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Is there any reason -- did Jeffrey say that he wanted that vehicle to use or to be parked at his house? A. No. Q. Then how did it come about that you started parking that vehicle at his home? A. I think the origination of that came when I started using the Hummer, that the Suburban was parked in my driveway and I wanted to get it out of my driveway as an eyesore. So hence, I decided to let people at the 3527-003 Page 195 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009870 EFTA00159677 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 196 house drive it as a grocery shopping car or something, or just as extra transportation. Q. Okay. But when you go to park the car at somebody else's house, you have to let them know, Hey, I'm giving you the keys? A. Mm-hmm. Q. Who did you give the keys to? A. I don't know if I gave the keys to anybody. I may have just left them on the counter there and told Yanush this is an extra car if you guys needed it to run around because it was an eyesore at my driveway. Q. Are you familiar with a Mercedes-Benz SUV 1999? now? A. Say that again. Q. Mercedes SUV, 1999 registered in your name? A. Yes. Q. And what car is that? A. That's my car -- my wife's car. Q. Does that stay at your house? A. Yes. Q. And that's the car that's parked at your house A. Yes. Q • Are you familiar with a Land Rover, Range Rover Sport 2008? 3527-003 Page 196 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTASO009871 EFTA00159678 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 197 A. Yes. Q. Registered in your name? A. Yes. Q. And whose car is that? A. That's another extra car for the household to use at Jeffrey's house. Q. And when was that car purchased? A. Last year. Q. And who purchased that car? A. It was purchased in my name. Q. By whom? Who purchased the car in your name? A. Well, I put the car in my name, but the funds came from -- they were wired to my account from New York. Q • From whom, though? A mysterious source just sent funds? We know that didn't happen, so I'm just trying to elaborate here. A. Jeffrey had paid for the car. Q. Okay. And why did Jeffrey pay for a car and put it in your name? A. I don't know. Q. I mean, you had to agree for this to happen. So what was the conversation between you and Jeffrey that resulted in Jeffrey paying for a Land Rover, a 2008 Land Rover and putting it in your name? 3527-003 Page 197 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009872 EFTA00159679 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 198 A. I don't recall exactly how the conversation came about. He just says we want to buy an '08 Land Rover and put it in my name. So we did. I didn't ask any further questions. Q. Did this conversation happen when he was in jail or after he was out? A. Meaning out on house arrest? Q. Right. A. When you say "out" I think of the Science Foundation. On work release, so you have to be more specific. Q. You tell me what happened, when the conversation happened relative to where Jeffrey was at the time. A. I'd only be guessing again. I would say this probably happened a year ago, maybe less than a year ago. I'd have to look. I don't remember exactly the -- Q. So it was either at a time when he's at the Florida Science Foundation or possibly on house arrest? A. It was -- no, it was definitely before house arrest. It was probably during the time of the Florida Science Foundation, to be accurate. Q. Okay. Are you aware -- A. About eight or nine months ago. Q. Okay. Are you aware of a Mercedes-Benz CLK 3527-003 Page 198 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009873 EFTA00159680 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 199 2005 registered in your name? A. Yes. Q. And whose car is that? A. That car also is a Palm Beach house car to be used at the house. Q. What does that mean, 'a Palm Beach house car'? A. It's a car that we park in Jeffrey's driveway for people to use. Anybody that comes to the house can select a car to go anywhere. I mean, run errands, go shopping, do whatever they need to do. And that was purchased the same way. It was in my name. Q. And the funds came from Jeffrey Epstein? A. They were wired to my account. I don't know exactly what account they came from. O. Again, that's a conversation that has to take place before -- that you have to agree to put a car in your name? A. Yes, yes. Q. And is that a conversation between yourself and Jeffrey Epstein that takes place? A. Yes. Q. And what is the substance of that conversation that results in a Mercedes-Benz 2005 being placed in your name? A. He just said we need a fun car for the house 3527-003 Page 199 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009874 EFTA00159681 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 in Palm Beach.

I forgot about that one, yes. Q. Whose car is that? A. That's a Palm Beach car. Q. What do you mean "a Palm Beach car"? A. It's the Palm Beach house car, another run around for people to use. Q. And again, that's a conversation that has to take place that results in a car being placed -- registered in your name? A. Yes. Q. here? Okay. Now we're talking about several cars A. Yes. Q. That are all being placed in your name? A. Yes. Q. You never at any time ask any questions to Jeffrey Epstein why are you placing these cars in my name? 3527-003 Page 200 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009875 EFTA00159682 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 A. I did not. Q. So your suspicions were never -- your 201 curiosity was never piqued at all as to why these cars are being placed in your name? A. My curiosity was piqued. Q • You never asked him the question, you just agreed to do it? A. That's correct. Q. That goes for the Jaguar X-Type? A. Yes. Q. Are you familiar with a motorcycle, Big Dog Chopper Motorcycle, 2003? A. That is mine. Q. Yours? A. Yes. Q. Registered in your name for a good purpose, right? A. Yes, it is. Q. At your house? A. Yes. Q. You use it? A. Absolutely. Q. All right.

Okay. So if that's registered in your name, that would be a shock to you? That would be a surprise to you? A. Yes, it would be. Q. There should be no documentation from you where you would be the registered owner of the Ford F-250? A. What year? Q. 2008. A. I remember buying that car. I just -- that shouldn't be in my name. Q. What do you mean you remember buying that car? A. I do a lot -- I do all the car purchases for Mr. Epstein. I'm a car fanatic, so for years I've been the car-shopper. I'm the car fanatic. Q. Okay. But these cars aren't classic vehicles. These are vehicles that are not being refurbished or anything, they're being driven around town? A. No, but they're fun. The new Range Rover is a nice car. Q. This Ford F250, that's a car also that's Palm Beach -- as you would say a Palm Beach car? A. No. Q. That's a car that stays at your house? A.

Q. And that's a corporation? A. Yes. Q. Your understanding is that's a corporation affiliated with Jeffrey Epstein? A. I know it's a corporation. I don't know its affiliation to Jeffrey. Q. At this point in time, the way that this car comes about is through a conversation with yourself and Jeffrey Epstein? A. Yes, yes. Q. So to make some representation that this -- that this corporation LSJ, LLC, you're not sure if that has any affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein? A. I don't have any facts to tie the two together. Q. Common sense would dictate? A. Yes. Q.

REINHART: Be careful to answer his question. I think his question is, is it on St. Thomas or Little St. James island? Where physically is the car, if you know. THE WITNESS: I don't know for a fact. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. It's your understanding it's on St. Thomas? A. Yes. Q. And when you say "the workers," what's going on on St. Thomas to where there's workers that need an F-250? A. Just moving sand. I don't know the exact detail for it. Q.

They need a work truck. Q. To do what? A. I don't know what the detail or the -- you know, what the job detail was for the truck. They just needed a work truck. Q. So Jeffrey Epstein tells you they need a work truck on St. Thomas and that's the only description that you're given? A. Yes, to go purchase and get the best deal I can on a pickup truck, and that's what I did and for some reason it got put in my name. (Off the record discussion.) BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Whose money was used to purchase the truck. You say you purchased the truck. I want the record to be clear whether you're purchasing it with your money? A. No, this was wire-transferred. It was a -- I don't remember how that -- I think it was a wire transfer or a check was FedExed from the New York office to pay for that. That should not be in my name, is what I'm getting at. I'll certainly change that, but I thought you were -- Q. I understand that. A. No, I'm being -- yeah, I didn't. MR.

Any reason why the car is registered in your name and the asking price is $159,000 being sold in New York? A. That car is not registered in my name. Q. If it's registered -- A. The ad is in my name.

Why would he put his pilot in charge of selling his Ferrari? A. Because I bought it. Q. How much did you buy it for? A. 179,000. Now, when I say "I bought it," it was his money. I was the one that negotiated it, to be clear. It was his car for use in New York. Q. Are you aware of the Zorro Trust winning an 85 million-dollar Power Ball lottery in 2008? 3527-003 Page 208 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009883 EFTA00159690 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 209 A. No. MR. CRITTON: Say that again. MR. EDWARDS: The 2orro Trust winning an 85 million-dollar -- claiming the ticket for 85 million-dollar Power Ball ticket in 2008. THE WITNESS: No. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Have you ever listed your employer as Ghislaine Air in making political contributions? A. I may have. Q. Did you know that you had made political contributions -- A. Yes, I have. Q. -- listing your -- A. I needed a company name for that event, and I had put Air Ghislaine. Q. And NES, LLC wouldn't do? A. I didn't think of it at the time. Q. Did somebody tell you to use Air Ghislaine rather than the company that has been paying you? A. No. Q. You just chose to use an employer that isn't actually your employer, nor have they ever been? A. I represent Air Ghislaine, JEGE and Hyperion as chief pilot, so I consider those really the companies 3527-003 Page 209 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009884 EFTA00159691 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 210 that I work for and never really associated myself with NES, LLC as my realistic employer. So when I go to a convention, an aviation convention, and somebody says who do you work for, I use the name JEGE because that's the name of the Boeing company. Q. But when I sit here and ask you who you work for, you give me a different answer. A. You're asking for the absolute correct answer, which is where my paycheck comes from, which is NES, LLC. I probably have used that twice in 17 or 18 years as my employer. Q. Do you know A. I know the name, yes. Q. How do you know her? A. I've seen her on the airplane a couple times. Q. Somebody that you know to be involved romantically or sexually with Jeffrey Epstein at any time? A. I don't know that. Q. Are there any other cars, vehicles, items, other things that are registered in your name that are actually Jeffrey Epstein's? A. No. You've actually covered them all and actually shed light on some that I did not realize, like that Ford. 3527-003 Page 210 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009885 EFTA00159692 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 211 MR. REINHART: Mr. Edwards, he needs to expand upon one earlier answer he gave when you asked him if he knew anybody else who worked at the Florida Science Foundation. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Okay. A. My wife worked there. When you used the words "worked there" -- or not referring to her as a past tense, but she worked there when it first opened answering the phones. Q. What's your wife's name? A. Eileen. Q. How does she spell that? A. E-I-L-E-E-N. Q. Same last name as you? A. Yes. Q. How long did she work there? A. A month, maybe. Q.

A. No, because she doesn't. Q. She doesn't know what it does either? A. We never talked about it. Q. You never talked to your wife about what she did? 212 A. No. MR. CRITTON: He knew she was answering phones. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. Do you know of any other employees, friends, agents, relatives of Jeffrey Epstein who he places his property in their names, registers them in his names or anybody else? A. Not to my knowledge. I don't know. Q. To your knowledge, you're the only person? A. I'm the only one I'm aware of. Q. And with respect to minor girls being on the airplane, that being under the age of IS, how many times would you say that you have flown girls into the country, into the United States where you have given a date of birth to Customs of somebody on the airplane that is under the age of 18? A. I'd have to look at flight records to verify or give you a correct answer. I don't know any to my 3527-003 Page 212 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009887 EFTA00159694 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 213 knowledge at this point. Q. What flight records would you have to look at? A. The passenger manifests. Q. Passenger manifests would have the date of birth on it? A. No. It would have a name, but I don't have -- Q. But at some point in time you remember people, minor date of births, coming into the country and that being turned over to Customs? MR. CRITTON: Form. THE WITNESS: I don't remember anybody transporting on the airplane from the country back into the U.S. that was a minor, to my knowledge. BY MR. EDWARDS: Q • Okay. Within the country, minors flying A. I don't know. Q. -- on a plane? A. I don't know dates of birth. Q. And any people that you knew to be minors on the airplane, were they always accompanied by parents or were there minors on the airplane that you're aware of that were not accompanied by parents? A. I didn't know either way. I mean, people would get on the airplane and get off the airplane. could tell you there were times people would get on that 3527-003 Page 213 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009888 EFTA00159695 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 214 I didn't even know were on the airplane. Our focus is up front. Q. Was there a massage table on the airplane? A. Which aircraft? Q. On any of them? A. The Boeing used to have a table on there, but it stayed in the same spot and appeared to be never used. Q. Okay. So to the best of your knowledge, you have no knowledge of that massage table on the airplane ever being used? A. Correct. MR. EDWARDS: I don't have anything else. CROSS (LARRY VISOSKI) BY MR. CRITTON: Q. Mr. Visoski, I have just a few questions. You were just asked about a massage table on the -- any of Mr. Epstein's airplanes and you said there was a massage - able on the Boeing? A. Yes. Q. Okay. Was there always a massage table on the Boeing or just for a period of time? A. Just for a period of time. Q. All right. And who's responsible for cleaning up the airplane after Mr. Epstein and/or the guests 3527-003 Page 214 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009889 EFTA00159696 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 215 leave? A. Us as the crew. Q. Okay. So if a massage table had ever been used, it would have been you and the crew who would have been responsible for either taking towels or doing something with the massage table? A. Absolutely. Q. And if I understood your testimony, you never saw a circumstance where it appeared to you that the massage table had been used in any manner; is that correct? A. That is correct. It stayed in the same location since the day it was put on there. Q. You were asked a bunch -- a number of questions about Mr. Epstein, I'll use this -- Mr. Epstein is the person who directed you generally unless one of -- someone else who worked on his behalf called you and asked you to, say, set up a time to leave or pick up luggage, et cetera. My question to you is this: Have you flown in the past for other private individuals like Mr. Epstein, i.e., as distinct from a commercial? A. Yes, I have. Q. And approximately have you flown for four, five, six other private individuals over the years? 3527-003 Page 215 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009890 EFTA00159697 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 216 A. Three. I had a short career as far as transferring of owners. Q. In terms of transferring to the other owners, separate and apart from Mr. Epstein, again, every individual is different, but was your relationship really any different with any of those other individuals? That is, you were in essence -- you were hired to perform a specific task: Fly an airplane to get from Point A to Point B and get the people there safely? A. My first job, corporate-wise, was for an owner in Miami and I was hired as a pilot, but yet, I would go to his house and maintain a boat that was in the back of his house above and beyond my call of duty because I had an interest in boats. It's just something I like to do. But I always treated Mr. Epstein like any of the other prior clients that I had as owners. I knew that I was not afraid to work for a living, and they understood that. Q. And it sounds like at least the first owner that you worked for asked you to do similar things that you've done for Mr. Epstein, such as take care of a boat or purchase a boat or maintain the boat? A. Sure, absolutely. Q. So your relationship with Mr. Epstein with 3527-003 Page 216 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009891 EFTA00159698 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 217 regard to if you bought boats or you bought cars on his behalf, that's very similar to your prior experience with working with another private individual? A. That is correct Q • In terms of the records, the manner in which you flew the plane or I don't want to say flew the plane, but in which you operated and maintained the plane for Mr. Epstein are substantially the same you've done with other private individuals? A. Right, exactly the same. We wouldn't treat Mr. Epstein any different than any prior -- previous jobs that I had. It's the same routine we carry over and that's why we're good at what we do. We take care of the airplanes to the best of our ability. Q. Is your focus as the pilot, as the captain of both of the airplanes when you took over that responsibility a number of years ago, is it your obligation to get the passengers there safely -- onboard and safely to the destination and then return? A. Yes, that was always job number one. Q. And most of us have had I'd say a much more substantial experience in flying commercial planes and I rarely see -- in fact, I can't remember the last time particularly after 2001 I saw the pilots coming back into the cabin shaking hands and helping distribute the 3527-003 Page 217 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFFA_00009892 EFTA00159699 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 218 snacks or liquids. Maybe I'm not on the same flights that some of the other lawyers here are, but I assume you fly commercial from time to time? A. Sure. Q. Do you ever see the pilots interacting with the people who are in the back of the airplane? A. No, not at all. They stay at their station up front. Q. You got -- as the captain of the planes, when you're flying, you have substantial responsibilities not only to the people on the plane, but as well to the air space which you're flying? A. Yes. Q. Okay. By the way, we've been here about for about an hour and ten -- we started about ten. It's now 3:30. Did you ever hear the name L.M.? Has Mr. Edwards ever asked you one question about MR. EDWARDS: Is the question have you ever heard of her or did I ask any questions about her, or did you ask both questions and give the same answer? MR. CRITTON: I'll break them down. MR. EDWARDS: It doesn't matter to me. BY MR. CRITTON: Q.

No, I have not. D. Did Mr. Edwards, in approximately four hours, little over four hours of questioning, ever ask you one question about that you can recall? A. Not that I recall. Q. Have you ever heard the name III.? Did you ever know someone named A. Never heard that name. Q. In approximately four-and-a-half hours of questioning by Mr. Edwards, did he ever ask you about A. No, he did not. Q. In approximately the -- are you familiar with an individual by the name of Jane Doe( A. I never heard that name. Q. In approximately four-and-a-half hours of questioning by Mr. Edwards, did he ever ask you questions about Jane Doe(_)? A. No, he did not. MR. CRITTON: That's all I have. MR. EDWARDS: I only have two questions based on what your testimony just was to Mr. Critton. 3527-003 Page 219 of 227 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00009894 EFTA00159701 Larry Visoski October 15, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 REDIRECT (LARRY VISOSKI) BY MR. EDWARDS: Q. You said you had three other people that you've flown for? A. Three other previous jobs. I'm trying to be as accurate. Q. Those are private individuals? 220 A. That is correct. Q. And who are those people? A. Herb Glimpsure in Columbus, Ohio, and Edward Seltzer in Miami. And then the other was Tom Boyd, and that was more of a Learjet charter, but he was the owner of five Learjets. Those are my only three jobs in my life. (1 • Also wealthy individuals? A. Big time. Q.

Okay. Any of those people ever deed any property or acres or anything like that to you? A. No. Q. Did any of those people ever hire your wife for employment? A. No. Q.
