Illegal Activity
- Severity
- suspicious
- Description
- The document itself does not contain clear evidence of illegal activity being committed, planned, or discussed. However, the fact that these accounts are flagged as 'high risk' and require enhanced due diligence raises suspicion. The incorrect address on the CDD form could be a red flag, but it's not definitive evidence of illegal activity.

Notable Quotes 2
We require SoS extracted from British Virgin Islands website for the account holding entity. We are unable to extract the same as there is a cost involved with the request, so kindly provide the same.
Regarding CDD form, already provided on this account, (also attached in this email for reference), please note that under section c, Jeffrey Epstein's legal address is incorrect. It seems they have provided the entity address here instead of Jeffrey's personal address. I am attaching Jeffrey's driver's license which confirms his personal address. Request you to kindly have that amended by the client & re-send revised form accordingly.
