Summary
This email discusses the need to formally escalate Jeffrey Epstein's status as a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) due to his relationships with Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton. Janice Franklin agrees with Gwen Hill's assessment that Epstein should be treated as a Relative or Close Associate (RCA) of a PEP, leading to a "High" risk rating for clients where he is the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) or has a significant controlling role.

Notable Quotes 2
I agree with your assessment that Mr. Epstein should be treated as a RCA. Hence, all clients where he is UBO or has a significant controlling role should be automatically risk rated "High"
Although the PEP status was factored into the prior risk calculator, the client was never formally escalated as a PEP.
Red Flags 2
- Epstein's connections to Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton.
- The fact that Epstein was treated as an honorary PEP in the past but never formally escalated.
