About

Raghu Sud testified for the defense on Day 11 about Shoppers Travel's invoice processing and use of QuickBooks. He said invoices were generally entered on the same day or the next day and that reports could be generated for customer profiles.

Sud identified Defense Exhibit RS-1 as a report he generated for the Epstein file. He described it as reflecting invoice information from roughly January 1999 through December 2006. The court admitted the exhibit temporarily under seal after the parties identified third-party information and agreed that narrowed redactions could be proposed.

On cross-examination, Sud confirmed that the available records for Epstein's office ran from 1999 through 2006. He had no records showing whether Shoppers Travel booked travel for the office before 1999. There was no redirect examination.
