- 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 forms could be a red flag for potential misrepresentation or concealment.

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.
