Scott Denett served as an IT and facilities manager across Jeffrey Epstein's properties, responsible for maintaining the Citrix-based communications infrastructure, procuring technology equipment, and coordinating building systems. He appears in documents spanning at least 2009 to 2018. Denett's most revealing communications involve the Citrix system.
On April 17, 2011, he sent an email to Richard Kahn, CC'ing Lesley Groff, announcing: ‘Per JE, CITRIX IS DEAD. ANY ISSUES LET ME KNOW.’ Groff's reply referenced The Wizard of Oz: ‘I want to see the song from the wizard of oz: the wicked witch is dead!’ The celebration suggests the system's shutdown was welcome news to the staff who had used it. Earlier, in February 2011, Denett and another technician named Jermaine (Ruan) had been troubleshooting Citrix connectivity issues between New York and the USVI, with Denett noting that Ruan ‘is logging into citrix but is slow’ and asking users to limit internet usage ‘for anything but business, as bandwidth and connectivity to NYC is slow.’ Denett also managed security technology.
In a 2012 email, Epstein wrote to Denett: ‘for Wednesday please suggest some web enabled security surveillance cameras?’ This procurement of surveillance equipment is consistent with the camera infrastructure later documented by the FBI on Little Saint James. He coordinated with Rich Barnett (building systems contractor at 71st Street) on Citrix troubleshooting and reported to Epstein and Groff on property maintenance, construction progress, and technology projects.
