- Description
- The statement by John Purcell to Jeffrey Schantz could be interpreted as an attempt to control Epstein's actions by leveraging his trust in Citibank, potentially to conceal undisclosed interests.
Evidence:
- In August 2001, in an effort to dissuade Epstein from seeking to remove AIG as the manager of the AIG Investment, John Purcell, a Citibank representative, told Jeffrey Schantz, a lawyer for Epstein, that Citibank was acting in Epstein's interests and that Epstein should trust Citibank rather than talk about actions which would run counter to Citibank's undisclosed interests.
