Also in Fall of 2006 Acosta is U.S. Federal SDFL Prosecutor and despite his federal judicial office 52 page report against Epstein which Acosta ignores and bargained a slap on the wrist for Epstein

The case’s lead prosecutor, A. Marie Villafaña, wrote to Mr. Epstein’s lawyer at one point: “I can file the charge in district court in Miami which will hopefully cut the press coverage significantly. Do you want to check that out?”nytimes.com/2019/07/07/nyr…

Acosta could have filed the 53-page indictment his prosecutors prepared against Epstein, Krischer said. “No matter how my office resolved the state charges, the U.S. Attorney’s Office always had the ability to file its own federal charges,” he said.

Instead, Acosta and his staff opted to engage in “secret” negotiations with Epstein’s high-powered legal team, which included famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz, former Solicitor General Ken Starr and New York lawyer Jay Lefkowitz, Krischer said.
