Description

The urgency and repeated follow-ups regarding KYC compliance, particularly for entities linked to Jeffrey Epstein, could indicate pressure to maintain these accounts despite potential compliance issues. The threat to close the account if KYC information is not provided could be interpreted as a form of leverage.

Stewart last spoke to Rich Kahn on Nov. 8th and told him that if we do not have clarity on whether we will get KYC info for the primary donor to Gratitude, we will begin proceedings to exit the account

Also, do we have an update on Gratitude America Ltd. — are client willing to provide the documents for BV70 LLC — a significant donor in this KYC, or are they going to close the account. Please confirm.

For H erion LLC and 3 Epstein Virgin Islands Foundation Inc in rejected KYC , we require the following items mentioned in red fonts

• Difficulties in obtaining KYC information for entities associated with Jeffrey Epstein.
