notes
SURFACED BY FLORIDA OFFICER-NAME INVERSION on INDYKE, 2026-09-06. Nonprofit. Epstein funded science philanthropy heavily. Connection UNVERIFIED but high priority — check ProPublica 990s. | SAC para 31 (USVI v. JPMorgan, Doc 119, filed 2023-04-12): 'Epstein's lawyer, Darren K. Indyke, and accountant, Richard Kahn, now the Co-Executors of Epstein's Estate, authorized or directed many of the transactions in JP Morgan accounts held by Epstein or related entities,' citing USVI v. Indyke, ST-20-CV-14 paras 8-10, 76-117. ALLEGATION, not a finding. | *** UPDATED 2026-09-06 — SEE FINDING-24. FILINGS NOW READ IN FULL: Sunbiz detail page plus the scanned 2008 NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT (filed 2008-09-17), the ONLY annual report ever filed. FEI/EIN shown as 'FEI Number Applied For (X)' a year after incorporation — NO EIN IS EVIDENCED AT ANY POINT, so NO FORM 990 CAN EXIST and the ProPublica route is CLOSED for this entity. Indyke was ADDED as sole officer/director on that report and signed it personally under a certification that his electronic signature 'shall have the same legal effect as if made under oath'. Entity lived roughly 22 months. | NEW INDYKE ADDRESS ESTABLISHED: 457 Madison Avenue, Fourth Floor, New York NY 10022 (2008), predating 575 Lexington Avenue 4th Floor (2017 JSC Interiors letterhead). No significance attaches to both being fourth floors. | LINK TO EPSTEIN — SNIPPET-LEVEL, DOCUMENTS NOT YET READ. DOJ library search returns the same sentence in two independent Bates ranges, EFTA00067463 (DataSet 9) and EFTA01659760 (DataSet 10): 'Epstein stated that he would be working at the Florida Science Foundation'. THE SNIPPET DOES NOT SAY 'WORK RELEASE'. Work-release material exists separately in the corpus (EFTA01250610, EFTA00224912) but has NOT been connected to this sentence. The work-release reading is a hypothesis from public knowledge of the 2008 Florida sentence and MUST NOT BE PUBLISHED AS A FINDING until one of those two documents is read. | EFTA00559409 (DataSet 9): correspondence asking 'isn't The Florida Science Foundation an entity of COUQ'. A question asked, not an answer. The C.O.U.Q. Foundation, Inc. (FL F08000003048) is separately in this register. | Correspondence addressed to 'Florida Science Foundation', with a 'an individual whose person-row is not published (see people.csv working data)', appears 2013-05-12, 2013-05-22 (x2), 2013-08-28 and 2014-05-17 — four to five years AFTER the Florida entity was dissolved. Either the name persisted as a mailbox or trading name, or a registration exists elsewhere. UNRESOLVED. | *** 2026-09-06, SECOND UPDATE — ALL DOCUMENTS NOW READ. SEE FINDING-25. ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION read in full (filed 2007-11-01, signed by incorporator 2007-10-31): INDYKE IS THE INCORPORATOR. He created the entity personally, five weeks after the federal non-prosecution agreement was signed. No directors named in the Articles. | EFTA00067463 (DataSet 9) and EFTA01659760 (DataSet 10) READ IN FULL — the same email in two Bates ranges, from an ASSISTANT U.S. ATTORNEY (name redacted), dated 2008-07-03, subject 'Epstein Agreement', addressed 'Dear Colonel' (Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, which administered work release). THE WORK-RELEASE READING IS NOW ESTABLISHED — the email is expressly about Work Release. It states: 'During the change of plea, Mr. Epstein stated that he would be working at the Florida Science Foundation, located at 250 Australian Avenue, Suite 1400, that the Foundation had been in existence for a couple of years, and that he had been working there every day prior to the plea.' The AUSA answers: 'The Division of Corporations documents show that the Florida Science Foundation was incorporated in November 2007, not a couple of years ago.' 'The address provided for the office of the Florida Science Foundation is Jack Goldberger's office suite, and neither the office building directory nor the office suite door reflects that such a business is located there, and neither the security guard nor any building tenant that FBI questioned knows of the existence of such a business.' 'Mr. Epstein also could not have been working there every day when he hadn't been in Palm Beach County in the past six months.' | SEQUENCE: incorporated 2007-11-01 with no officers of record -> representation to the court at the 2008-06-30 change of plea -> AUSA letter 2008-07-03 -> INDYKE ADDS HIMSELF AS SOLE OFFICER 2008-09-17, ten weeks later, while the sentence was being served -> dissolved 2009-09-25, about two months after release. | NOT ESTABLISHED AND NOT TO BE ASSERTED: that Indyke knew in October 2007 what the entity would be used for; that the AUSA's assertions were adjudicated (though the incorporation date is independently confirmed by the Articles we hold); anything about Jack Goldberger beyond the email's statement that it was his office suite; that the Foundation never did anything. | *** EFTA00559409 (DataSet 9), read in full — email chain 2010-10-27 to 2010-11-01, ending in a forward TO DARREN INDYKE. HARRY BELLER, 2010-11-01 09:08 EDT: 'Florida Science is COUQ. Ask Darren for an explanation of the different names for the same foundation.' Preceded by a question from a redacted sender to Beller: 'Isn't The Florida Science Foundation an entity of COUQ?' and by a correspondent (person-row unpublished) asking (2010-10-27) for the 'vision' of 'the Jeffrey Epstein Foundation' and 'the Jeffery Epstein Florida Science Foundation (or whatever it is called)', wording that 'should have been filed as part of legal documents in setting up these 501 3 (c)s', plus 'a list of NON scientific charities that he has supported, where there funds have not been returned to him'. TREAT AS A STATEMENT, NOT A MERGER. The public record shows TWO DISTINCT REGISTRATIONS: Florida Science Foundation = FL domestic N07000010684, admin. dissolved 2009-09-25; C.O.U.Q. Foundation = Delaware, qualified foreign in FL as F08000003048, revoked 2011-09-23. Beller's sentence is an assertion about how they were regarded. Surviving readings: successor/rename in substance; trade-name continuation; or loose speech describing common control. NOTE THE TIMING: this exchange is 14 months AFTER the Florida entity was dissolved, which fits Beller's phrasing and explains correspondence still addressed to 'Florida Science Foundation' in 2013-2014. NOTE ALSO: no EIN was ever evidenced for the Florida entity, so it could not have been a recognised 501(c)(3) in its own right. RESOLVE VIA DELAWARE FILINGS FOR C.O.U.Q. See FINDING-26.
