🔴An FBI Field Interview conducted as part of a federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein details how a Deutsche Bank compliance officer was terminated after raising flags over cryptocurrency activity conducted by a firm owned by Jared Kushner in 2016. In total, the compliance officer identified over 100 Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) who appeared to be insufficiently monitored by Deutsche Bank, detailing how she was pressured to keep accounts open – including the accounts of Epstein, after finding he had been making payments to young women. The document gives a rare glimpse into the world of so-called relationship managing, in which wealthy individuals are treated favorably by financial institutions even when flags are raised. While regular banking customers fall victim to overly-cautious account closures, the FBI report details how individuals with more substantive financial resources are continuously cut slack in anti-money laundering procedures in order to retain their business.
