FW: Pate 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/nyregion/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 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

Russell,
We saw this exciting news today, an outstanding job by your AGII Bravo for taking the lead here and being instrumental in this important groundbreaking effort. This will really make a tangible difference for Epstein victims worldwide.
We are eager to lend our support in any way possible. I have ct who, as you know, is the thought leader on SOL issues. Child USA can assist with briefing, amicus, and research support.
We should all definitely strategize on coordinated next steps. We will share this information with the victims on our list and look forward to sailing with you once the madness relents. It sounds very nice and my law partners have forbidden me from even dreaming about it! Next year.
James
Great and interesting development. We are here to assist.
If you have a copy of the civil RICO suit, we would be very interested in seeing it. (It didn't pop up on pacer.gov).
Sounds like a wonderful trip ... sigh ...
