Notable Quotes 3
The check shows that Jeffery Epstein, made a check out to himself, from a Banco popular account to be deposited in an account in his name at DB. Why would this get returned?
PWM can pass the credit and hold the difference in a suspense account, given the uncertainty as to when the check can be deposited again or Mr. Epstein should explore another option for this transaction. I suggest he call Banco Popular to see if they might be able to wire the funds into his PWM account.
The check in question is drawn on Bank Of America located in St Thomas, US Virgin Island. This is one of the Islands that is affected by the hurricane and it seems that the check did not make it to the bank for payment. I would suggest that the client be debited and maybe the check re-deposited at a later date.
Red Flags 2
- The check was returned by Banco Popular for not authorized.
- The check was made out by Jeffrey Epstein to himself.
