Notable Quotes 2
I need to know where these funds originate.
The originating wire came from the client's account called Southern Trust Company, Inc account number 44129244. 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.
