Legal counsel

Partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP and former Chief of the Criminal Division at the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. Alongside Brad Karp, directed Nardello & Co. to conduct covert one-party-consent recordings of Leon Black's meetings with women at upscale NYC restaurants (Four Seasons, Le Bernardin, The Modern, King Cole Bar) in August-October 2015. Transcripts were routed to Epstein, who asked for 'sureveillance report also bill to date.' Epstein referenced Reisner's SDNY connections in emails about having Guzel Ganieva arrested: Karp said 'I'll check again with Lorin... Especially with the referral coming from the most recent head of the sdny usao.' Also handled a $2M escrow fund request from 'Leon' that Epstein intermediated. 18 documents in EFTA releases.
