Notable Quotes 2
Epstein is a registered sex offender. Since 2005, there have been multiple allegations against Epstein regarding sexual assault of minors.
From an AML perspective, I approve this account with the condition to mark the relationship as High Risk and the recommendation to be monitored for suspicious activity. However, the material negative information associated with the client's UBO and control person, Jeffrey Edward Epstein, may pose reputational risk to DB. Therefore, I recommend escalating this case to the Americas Reputational Risk Committee for review and decision.
