Email Chain About Penny Pritzker Income Disclosure Error (File 027030)
Email correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein, Tom Pritzker, and colleagues regarding a Washington Post article about Penny Pritzker's $80 million income understatement on her Commerce Department nomination disclosures.
Summary
An email chain forwarding a Washington Post article from May 22, 2013, discussing Penny Pritzker's failure to disclose $80 million in income on her government filing for her nomination as Commerce Department head. The article notes that Pritzker, a billionaire from the Hyatt hotel family worth approximately $1.5 billion, received at least $80 million in consulting fees for trust restructuring work that were not initially reported. Tom Pritzker expresses frustration about the situation in his response to Jeffrey Epstein, while Epstein responds casually about seeing each other more often.

Pritzker, whose family founded the Hyatt hotel chain,is worth about $1.5 billion. So it's easy to see how a few million — or 80 — could go missing.Maybe she left it in the other purse?A spokeswoman told Bloomberg that the $80 million was "a substantial amount" and that Pritzker's adviserscorrected the error as soon as they realized it.Per Bloomberg: "Documents released last week show Pritzker received $32.2 million for a decade's worth ofconsulting on the restructuring of domestic trusts," but new filings indicated she made at least $80 million morethan that.Monice M.
