Notable Quotes 3
Client is a billionaire. It's not like this is a specific $6mm of his. Most of his wealth comes from investments and advisory fees.
Please specify the originating account so that I can confirm this transaction, after searching PRIME and DB FORCE (our PB systems, I am unable to locate the transaction). Also, any idea as to why, if this is an internal transfer, that funds are being sent through HSBC?
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.
Red Flags 5
  • Multiple requests for information from AML compliance
