On August 18, 2021 an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the [[U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York|Southern District of New York]], preparing the trial of Maxwell, gave the FAA agent a list of search terms: "Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Air Ghislaine, Thomas World Air LLC, Hyperion Air LLC, Freedom Air Petroleum LLC, NES LLC, Maple, Inc., Nautilus Inc." The agent reported "No other aircraft registered to or indexed to" Hyperion, Plan D, Ossa Properties Inc., Epstein, Maxwell, Thomas World Air, Freedom Air Petroleum, NES, Maple or Nautilus. On September 29, 2021 the prosecutor wrote back that "we'd like to learn more about one aircraft in particular," pasted the agent's notes on the Air Ghislaine Sikorsky N750A, later N722JE, and asked for contacts at the title companies that had handled it; the agent, who was retiring the next day, recommended contacting the title company for its file, adding: "They accept summons and subpoenas."[^1]

On September 10, 2021 a paralegal of the Southern District of New York wrote to the FAA that "external mail size constraints" prevented the return of the password-protected registration files the agency had supplied, and listed those the office needed "to be able to print/edit as soon as possible": "188TH-Airworthiness," "188TH-Registration," "550GP-Registration," "N550GP was N212JE was N415LM registration" and "N722JE registration." On September 29, 2021 the paralegal reported that the office had "produced all FAA records," most of the locked files being "duplicates of the certified files," and that the rest had been printed, scanned and stamped for inclusion "with that production."[^6] N550GP was the Gulfstream G550 that Epstein's Plan D LLC had sold in December 2020.[^1]
