Notable Quotes 2
We have recently come to understand that Hyperion Air, LLC is an entity associated with Jeffrey Epstein. We therefore wanted to advise your Office of this transaction before it is finalized.
Although my client has no reason to believe that the aircraft may be subject to forfeiture — it was not identified in the forfeiture language of the charging instruments against Epstein, it was not acquired by Hyperion Air until long after the charged conduct, and we have no reason to believe that it was purchased with criminally-derived funds or is otherwise potentially subject to forfeiture — we of course wanted to give the Office the opportunity to take any action that it may deem appropriate, including blocking the transaction or ensuring that the proceeds are deposited into escrow.
