Notable Quotes 2
Yes. This a trust with several of Epstein's employees as beneficiaries, and him as grantor. He will have trading authority along with the trustee, but the assets are no longer his since the trust is irrevocable.
So Zia felt we could not combine with his other assets to get to the KCP standard.
