Notable Quotes 2
Mr. Epstein's debit card 4734070000028868 has already been upgraded to $12,000 without our approval. Why are we being notified only now?
The reason for the increase is due to the closing of the teller services. The client use to come in on a regular basis to get cash, which is no longer feasible.
Red Flags 2
- Debit card limit increase for Jeffrey Epstein without prior approval.
- The reason provided for the increase (closing of teller services) seems unusual.
