[GRADE A2 — EFTA01917887 — V7.0 SENDER IDENTIFIED]
The reply reads: "Either one! Whatever works for you guys! You can even let me know that week! Always a table for JE!!" Sent from iPhone. Sender name/email garbled in OCR extraction of EFTA01917887. Epstein had asked: "is the 10 or 11th a better night in montreal?"
V7.0 — SENDER RESOLVED: Bobby Slayton. Adjacent batch analysis (EFTA00721184, EFTA00367448, EFTA00367467, EFTA01917779) identifies the sender as Bobby Slayton, a comedian performing "The Nasty Show" in Montreal, July 9-13 and 24/25, 2014 (Just For Laughs festival). Slayton wrote: "OK so our show - and any of them would be fine, although the first week is a cooler smaller venue and a band accompanies us." He suggested: "the 24th we could go out to Moishes for a steak. Cool Jews own the joint. Been in the family for years." He described Epstein's style perfectly: "I know if JE comes up he will want to hang a bit... Know he likes to get in and get out!" And: "I hate it be trapped in a fucking theater seat for two hours!!"
Groff subsequently booked the Ritz Montreal for July 9-13, 2014 (one suite and one regular room). The rhowardstone copy (EFTA00695325) confirms the same text without OCR redactions.
V7.0 — Bobby Slayton at "The Nasty Show" with Blockstream (EFTA02517872, Jul 24, 2014): A message forwarded from Austin Hill noted: "the bobby Slayton made one of the bitcoin wizards (and a blockstream cofounder) who had dyed his hair blue upon graduation from university the butt of his jokes all night." This places Hill, Blockstream cofounders, and Bobby Slayton together at the Montreal comedy shows — connecting the Hill cryptocurrency network to Epstein's Montreal entertainment circuit.
This resolves Open Question Q11/Q29.
V8.0 — Bobby Slayton LIVED at 9 East 71st Street (EFTA02368915, May 2017):
Groff emailed Epstein on May 24, 2017: "Reminder: Bobby Slayton and his girlfriend in NY for Bobby's birthday May 24-31. Staying in 71." This documents a 7-day stay at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse for Slayton's birthday. But the v8.0 mining reveals this was part of a long-standing pattern of Slayton staying at Epstein's properties:

30 JmailEmails reference Slayton, documenting stays in multiple Epstein properties: "71" (the townhouse at 9 East 71st Street), "11P" (an apartment), "7J" (another apartment/unit), and "8A." Karyna Shuliak (Epstein's girlfriend) is CC'd on several Slayton logistics emails. The April 2016 stay was 12 days (April 3-15). This is not a casual social connection — Slayton was essentially a repeat houseguest at Epstein's Manhattan properties across a 6-year period (2012-2018), with his longest documented stays at the townhouse itself.
