Notable Quotes 3
Our client just spoke with Banco Popular in St. Thomas. Banco Popular informed them that they are now up and running. Can we try to re-deposit the check?

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.
Red Flags 3
- The check is related to Jeffrey Epstein.
- The check was initially returned, and there are multiple attempts to re-deposit it or find alternative solutions.
