Evidence:

Blackmail Indicators
- Likelihood
- possible
- Description
- The statement 'Some of these requests seem unreasonable, and AML should already have a lot of this info, particularly anything relating to Jeffrey Epstein personally (since we have so many accounts for him)' could indicate a reluctance to scrutinize Epstein due to his wealth and influence, which could be a form of subtle coercion.

Notable Quotes 3
This is hysterical. Private Art collectors are constantly buying and selling art work. They do whatever they please with it...put it on the wall, loan it to museums, keep it in the shipping box it came in. Artwork and cash to purchase the artwork are the only assets.
Jeffrey Epstein met with Stew Oldfield on 3/7/17 to open new acct for other entity. This is in the introduction field. RM has known the client for 4 years
Let's set up a time to discuss when Brad is back next week. Some of these requests seem unreasonable, and AML should already have a lot of this info, particularly anything relating to Jeffrey Epstein personally (since we have so many accounts for him).
Red Flags 3
- Difficulty in obtaining necessary documentation for KYC compliance.
- Reference to Jeffrey Epstein's past conviction.
- Concerns about the reasonableness of some KYC requests.
