FYI. Because Mr. Pate claims to have worked on the USVI attorney general's complaint for the last
4 months, presumably he has some knowledge of the underlying facts. We will make contact and
inquire. Best, Stan

Subject: RE: ['ate Law Firm - U.S. Virgin Islands - USVI Epstein Estate - Victims
Dear Justice Warriors,
I write to put many of the Epstein victim attorneys in the same email. Today the USVI filed a
civil RICO case against Epstein's Estate.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/15/nyiegion/jeffrey-epstein-virgin-islands.html
(I'd been pushing this case for the past four months and working on the Complaint as private
counsel.)
The Virgin Islands Attorney General is very concerned about assisting/helping the victims. She
has taken a bold step; way ahead of the Attorney Generals of Florida, New Mexico and New
York. (Even more so in that she is an appointed — not elected — AG. And the politics of bringing
this lawsuit was tenuous.) I hope all of your will applaud and praise her courage in the media.
Now legally our claims are for the Territory, but in settlement the USVI can be a very big help.
The VI will stand up for full, fair and open settlements for the victims. There is more than
EFTA00104340
enough assets for all claimants. I cannot imagine any Virgin Islands jury leaving a penny to the
Estate.
It would be wonderful if we can coordinate joint-strategies / joint-mediations, etc., to help move
all Epstein Estate claims to fast resolution. Also, if any of your clients/victims were trafficked to
the Virgin Islands, the VI Dept. of Justice investigators would really like to talk to them by
phone — if that can be coordinated with your offices.
Let's all hopefully work together as a Super/Uber team. Perhaps we can coordinate mediations
in the USVI. I used Ken Feinberg on a 9 figure settlement in the VI a few years ago, so he has
been down here recently. Further, I'm more than happy to host anyone who wants to make a trip
to the USVI beforehand sheerly for recreational purposes. (And I have an extra cabin on a
sailing Catamaran charter through the BVI to Anegada Feb 10-15, if anyone and a significant
other wants to join. I'm serious on this offer, charter is already paid for).
Sincerely,
Russell
