Notable Quotes 2
Team, this is not the wire I am asking about. Please see the incoming wire listed below from HSBC. I see the $23,000,000.00 incoming wire from the Private Bank account and that is not/was never in question. I need to know where these funds originate.
The originating wire came from the client's account called Southern Trust Company, Inc account number This wire was not submitted through HSBC but through Bank of New York in order to be placed into their N4G account for the art purchase. The beneficiary is our client Jeffery Epstein as the originating party and the art purchaser.
