An email between Jeffrey Epstein and a billionaire shrink pal runs through options for avoiding trouble with the law — including steps such as wearing disguises or undergoing plastic surgery, documents released by the Department of Justice show.
A May 1, 2009, email from his longtime friend and confidante, Gramercy Park psychiatrist Dr. Henry Jarecki, titled “What If I Get Caught,” contains a long list of items essential to escape law enforcement.
The email, fired off by an assistant, purportedly was sent because the doctor — who made his money trading commodities — was interested in writing a book on the topic.
“Dr. Jarecki asked me to send you the following notes, along with the statement, ‘I’m thinking of writing a new book, and I need a co-author,’” it reads.
At that time, Epstein was nearing the end of his 13-month Florida prison sentence for solicitation of prostitution as part of his 2008 non-prosecution “sweetheart deal.”
The note lays out a 7-point plan to live on the lam, starting with items like “don’t use credit cards” and “computer security” for “trouble avoidance” — and ends with mentions of going “in hiding” or “overseas.”
