- On July 20, 2010, Bradley Edwards received a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida - the office responsible for prosecuting Rothstein's Ponzi scheme. The letter indicated that law enforcement agencies had determined that Edwards was "a victim (or potential victim)" of Scott Rothstein's federal crimes. The letter informed Edwards of his rights as a victim of Rothstein's fraud and promised to keep Edwards informed about subsequent developments in Rothstein's prosecution. See Letter attached hereto as Exhibit "TT."
- Jeffrey Epstein filed a complaint with the Florida Bar against Bradley Edwards, Esq., raising allegations that Edwards and others were involved in the wrongdoing of Scott Rothstein. After investigating the claim, the Florida Bar dismissed this complaint. See Edwards Affidavit, Exhibit "N" at 923. Epstein Takes the Fifth When Asked Substantive Questions About His Claims Against Edwards
- On March 17, 2010, defendant Epstein was deposed about his lawsuit against Edwards. Rather than answer substantive questions about his lawsuit, Epstein repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment privilege. See Epstein Depo. taken 3/17/10, Deposition Attachment #1.
- In his deposition, Epstein took the Fifth rather than answer the question: "Specifically what are the allegations against you which you contend Mr. Edwards ginned up?" Id. at 34.
- In his deposition, Epstein took the Fifth rather than name people in California that Edwards had tried to depose to increase the settlement value of the civil suit he was handling. Id. at 37. 38 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_010603
