Deutsche Bank AML Compliance officer on the annual high-risk client reviews for the Jeffrey Epstein relationship, and the author of the written rationale for approving them. His case comment records the review as 'a high risk update' for the Haze Trust, the Butterfly Trust and the 2007 Jeffrey E. Epstein Insurance Trust #3, and sets out why the bank was 'comfortable with approving this KYC'. He holds the compliance slot on both the 2017 and the 2018 review. Named here as a bank employee performing a job function on an internal form. Nothing in the corpus alleges wrongdoing by him.
Key Findings
- EFTA01417521 (2017): the case comment under his name states 'This KYC serves as a high risk update for the below listed clients (together "accountholders")' and lists 1. The Haze Trust, 2. Butterfly Trust, 3. The 2007 Jeffrey E. Epstein Insurance Trust #3, then 'Below are the reasons why we are comfortable with approving this KYC'.
- The same review records the source-of-wealth position: 'The UBO (Jeffrey Epstein) is the founder of Southern Trust Company Inc, which manages client's assets. SOW verification was obtained.'
- EFTA01417330 / EFTA01436214 (25 Sep 2018): holds the AML Compliance slot on the 2018 high-risk review.
- The reviews he approved dispose of the criminal history in terms the documents state plainly: 'Criminal Filings relates to sex offence which is already cleared in the past', and of Darren Indyke's coverage as 'Negative news in Google relates to Jeffrey Epstein's Foundation and are not material in nature.'
- Corpus presence spans DataSet 9 and 10. As with the other signatories some of that is routine internal distribution, but unlike them he authored substantive case comments, which is what this record rests on rather than the raw count.
