Notable Quotes 2
We would not a rove a KYC where Mr. Epstein had given instructions to add Mr. Indyke to account on the basis that Mr. Epstein does not have authority over her account.
I recommend that Mr. Epstein sends you another letter listing the specific accounts he wants to update or he could broadly write he would like Mr. Indyke added to the accounts in his (Mr. Epstein's) name and where he is the ultimate beneficial owner.
Red Flags 2
- Jeffrey Epstein attempting to add a signer to accounts where his authority is questionable.
- Ambiguity in the initial letter of instruction from Epstein regarding which accounts Indyke should be added to.
