Ariel,

I’ve attached a spreadsheet that identifies by Bates number(s) the relevant financial records that

relate to Counts 53-100 in the Superseding Indictment. To alleviate any confusion, the category

titled “Location on Relativity” lists the applicable BEGDOC to be used in searching Relativity. Once

you’ve located the correct document, you then use the listed page numbers to find the exact record

at issue. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Andy

Ariel,

First, the financial records underlying SA Thai’s testimony have been produced. We recently reCase 2:18-cr-00422-DJH Document 1966-9 Filed 11/13/23 Page 2 of 5
produced all the financial records (see attached letter dated January 13, 2020). These financial

records were produced in 2018, but we have reproduced them with the following Bates numbers: 

DOJ-BP-0004902872-DOJ-BP-0005068773. We did so for organizational purposes. As discussed in

the letter, we are finalizing a document that will identify all the relevant financial records (by Bates

number) that relate to the money laundering charges in the superseding indictment. We will

produce that to you soon.

Second, I’ve attached 34 draft summary exhibits. The attached exhibits are flowcharts for the

financial transactions that are alleged in Counts 53-100 of the superseding indictment. It is expected

that as the government continues to prepare for trial, modifications may be made to these exhibits,

but if changes are made we will promptly disclose them. 

Finally, we will produce additional draft summary exhibits in the near future. We anticipate the

following categories of exhibits:

- A flowchart outlining how Backpage proceeds flowed through various entities, e.g.,

Website Technologies, Camarillo, Cereus Properties, etc.

- Compensation charts that summarize Defendants’ Backpage-derived compensation.

- Revenue charts based on Backpage’s annual earnings and, specifically, the earnings

from “adult” advertisements.

We reserve the right to prepare, disclose, and use other summary exhibits as well. 

Thanks,

Andy

Subject: Government Expert Disclosure

Kevin,

In the government’s December 14, 2018 initial expert disclosures (attached), with respect to Special

Agent Thai, you state that (1) the “financial records and documents underlying” his testimony have

been produced in discovery and (2) “the summary analyses will be provided through supplemental

disclosures.” As to the first category, can you please identify by Bates number the records to which

you are referring? As to the second category, can you please point us to the summary analyses Thai

intends to present at trial? If those analyses have not been produced, please identify what they will

concern and let us know when you intend to produce them. Given the pending motion in limine

deadline, immediate identification/production of this material is critical.

Thank you,

Ariel
