“If she does not respond to his email and shops for attnys telling each one a horror story, he will be a target for a long time. in many of the cases that i have read, two things pop out, some survive a MTD . bad for leon. and some if not most all claim she has filed suit beacuse i refused to be extorted,” Epstein wrote on 16 August 2015. “I think the extortion claim AFTER a filing is fairly weak. and would be seen to be an intimidation tactic from a powerful man, if you think you are being extorted ( like the two jills in miami ) , they went right to the police. . and the dynamic and energy is on the side of teh good guys.”
Two minutes later, Karp responded: “I’ll check again with lorin, but my strong belief is that the answer is yes. Especially with the referral coming from the most recent head of the sdny usao.”
/.../ At one point of this conversation, the John Doe addresses the other speaker as “Guzel”. He tells the other speaker that her request for $100m is “extortion” and says the outcome of their dispute can “go in three directions”.
“We can come to a mutually satisfactory, um, economic solution, um, number one. Uh, number two, urn, you can file a suit and you go public,” the man says in this conversation. “Number three, um, you know there can be, um, you know, possible other consequences of that.
“And the last thing you should know – and it’s – I want to underscore this – it’s not a threat – um, but, you know, if you do take this frivolous case public … it will give me no choice but to, you know, go to the authorities and pursue a criminal case ... against you,” the John Doe said. “And you’ll likely end up in jail.

Jeffrey Epstein plotted with lawyer to try to have woman deported, documents reveal

Wall Street attorney Brad Karp, who represented Epstein’s business associate, Leon Black, also coordinated surveillance on the woman
Jeffrey Epstein plotted with a high-powered Manhattan lawyer to try arranging the deportation of a woman who was an inconvenience to someone in his social circle, newly released documents reveal.
While their efforts were unsuccessful, emails also reveal that this Epstein associate, Wall Street attorney Brad Karp – who represented the late financier’s business associate, Leon Black – coordinated surveillance on the woman.
This correspondence, made public in the justice department’s recent disclosure of 3m Epstein investigative files, suggests that Karp was trying to use a Manhattan US attorney’s office connection in the disgraced financier’s push to have her charged with a crime.
Emails from 2015 show that Epstein and Karp – who resigned from his top role at the white shoe firm Paul Weiss last week as their correspondence went public – discussed whether law enforcement could be used to expel this woman from the US, or jail her. Karp did not respond to multiple requests for comment. A spokesperson for Paul Weiss also did not respond to multiple inquiries.

In August, Epstein and Karp discussed keeping an eye on the woman’s whereabouts.
“Did we get a report on where she went after lunch. ? details ?” Epstein asked Karp on 23 August 2015.
“To the Cielo apartment bldf on 83rd and York where she stayed until she traveled to JFK . She was snuck out through the [garage], in a car with tinte windows, and we have license plate numbers,” Karp said.
About a month later, Epstein asked Karp: “Is she still being surveilled. Is she still in [london] leon wants to nail down the fact that she is a pro. Have [unclear] use russian contacts or.”
“Sorry for the delay. We stopped the surveil=ance on Friday. She was in London then, and were not aware that she[unclear]left,” Karp said, adding they could follow up on a suspicion, but “haven’t found any evidence yet”.
The emails show them continuing to discuss legal options against her.
“Can you have lorin or someone actually determine the likelihood of bringing a real case against her in London or New York So far I have not seen anything concrete. Leon thinks a case [is] viable in London, too much riding on the fact for it to be non feasible though technically possible,” Epstein wrote.
“We can’t bring a private case against her in=ny, only in London. And even in London, it’s very tricky. Our London lawyer says she likely will lose a criminal trial for blackmail, though it’s certainly not my (or your) preferred outcome,” Karp said.
