MINDSPRING WAS A SERVER AND USED BY EPSTEIN, HIS HOUSEHOLD AND CLIENTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. WHO HAS THE SERVER?

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.447706/gov.uscourts.nysd.447706.1332.1.pdf

As previously recounted, Jeffrey Epstein’s house manager, Juan Alessi testified that

MindSpring account was in daily use by the Epstein household to send and receive messages, a

household to which Defendant belonged:

Q. So when there would be a message from one of them while they were out of town,

they would call you, call you on the telephone?

A. I haven't spoken to Ghislaine in 12 yea

Q. Sorry. I'm talking about when you worked there and you would receive a message that

they were coming into town, would that be by way of telephone?

A. Telephone, and also, there was a system at the house, that it was MindSpring,

MindSpring I think it's called, that it was like a message system that would come from

the office.

Q. What is MindSpring?

A. It was a server. I think it was – the office would have, like, a message system

between him, the houses, the employees, his friends. They would write a message on the

computer. There was no email at that time.

Q. Okay. So what computer would you use?

A. My computer in my office.

Q. And so was part of your daily routine to go to your computer and check to see if you

had MindSpring messages?

A. No. That was at the end of my stay. That was the very end of my stay. I didn't get

involved with that too much. But it was a message system that Jeffrey received every

two, three hours, with all the messages that would have to go to the office in New York,

and they will print it and send it faxed to the house, and I would hand it to him.

Q. Did it look like the message pads that we've been looking at?

A. No, no, nothing like that.

Q. Was it typed-out messages?

A. Yes, typed-out messages.

Q. Just explain one example of how it would work. Let's say that Ghislaine wanted to

send him a message on MindSpring. How would that work?

A. An example?

Q. Sure.

A. It got so ridiculous at the end of my stay, okay? That Mr. Epstein, instead of talking

to me that he wants a cup of coffee, he will call the office; the office would type it; they

would send it to me, Jeffrey wants a cup of coffee, or Jeffrey wants an orange juice out

by the pool.

Q. He would call the office in New York. They would then type it in MindSpring?

Q. He would call the office in New York. They would then type it in MindSpring?

A. Send it to me.

Q. How would you know to check for it? How would you know to look for this

MindSpring?

A. Because I was in the office. I was there. I was there. And we have a signal when it

come on and says, Hey, you've got mail.

Q. Okay.

A. Every day. Every day it was new things put in. That's why I left, too.

Q. Do you know who set up the mind spring system?

A. It was a computer guy. It was a computer guy who worked only for

Jeffrey. Mark. Mark Lumber.

Q. Was he local to Palm Beach?

A. No. He was in New York. Everything was set up from New York. And Mark

Lumber, I remember he came to Palm Beach to set up the system at the house.

Accordingly, mindspring was a domain name set up for Jeffrey Epstein and his household to

communicate with one another, and was, in fact, used in this manner.

The sworn testimony of Janusz Banasiak, another of Epstein’s house managers, from the case

L.M. v. Jeffery Epstein and Sarah Kellen,

2 gives a fuller representation of how Defendant, and

others in Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring, used their accounts on Epstein’s mindspring server:

Q. Okay. Were you aware that Mr. Epstein used a Citrix program to link various computers?

Did you know that?

A. Yeah. I use Citrix too in my computer for exchanging e-mails and get through Internet.

2 Case No.: 502008CA028051XXXXMB AB, In the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial

Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida.

Q. That's not something that you were, you were privy to? You weren't, you weren't in the

loop of the sharing of information in the house in terms of the computers being connected

through any server?

A. I don't really know what, how, how to answer your question because Citrix is for the

whole organization to exchange e-mail between employees.

Q. All right. You used the term?

A. So, even my computer is connected to Citrix. I can receive mail and I can e-mail

information to employee within organization. But I don't know if you can see to each

computer what is going on on another computer.

***

Q. You have used the term organization; you can share within the organization. What do you

– just so I can understand what you're calling the organization, what do you mean by that

word?

A. People employed by Jeffrey Epstein. There are a few groups of people, his office in New

York and I guess –

***

Q. Okay. The other people mentioned as co-conspirators are Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, and

Nadia Marcinkova. So we'll get to them in a minute but first just so we stay on the track of

who was in the organization, is Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross and Nadia Marcinkova all people

that you would also consider within the organization?

A. Yes.

Q. Okay. So, we just added three more names to it. Who else would you consider,

Ghislaine Maxwell?

A. Yes.

Banasiak Deposition at 56:13-17; 57:2-14; 58:1-7; 60:21-61:7 (February 16, 2010) (Emphasis

added) (McCawley Decl. at Sealed Composite Exhibit 2).

As Defendant was a member of Epstein’s household, and claims to have been his

employee (See McCawley Decl. at Sealed Exhibit 3, Maxwell’s April 22, 2016 Dep. Tr. at 10:7-

11:3), it is unlikely that her mindspring account was merely a “spam account” from 1999-2002.

It is much more likely that this account has - or had - Defendant’s communications with coCase 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1332-1 Filed 01/08/24 Page 7 of 42

conspirators Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova, and Epstein. However, it is Defendant’s

representation that this account does not presently have responsive documents and was merely

used for “spam.”
