An email chain from James C. Lee (IRS-CI Chief) to Douglas O'Donnell, dated April 27, 2022 (forwarding an original email from April 22, 2022), providing an update on coordination with the Puerto Rico government for a press event with OCIF. Target coordination dates were June 6 or 7, with the event potentially held at the Governor's Mansion with the Governor's participation. OCIF had been working with the US Federal Reserve, which was actively de-risking several Puerto Rico banks for activity related to South American countries. The original email from Lee introduces a one-pager recommending IRS participation in a media event with OCIF's Director related to Euro Pacific Bank and Operation Atlantis—the J5's first major outward-facing enforcement item—following a coordinated Day of Action where all 5 countries participated in enforcement, interviews, and subpoenas on the same day.
