[GRADE A1 — EFTA01346187, EFTA01346192 (Deutsche Bank internal)]
STC/SFL wire transfer records document outflows to multiple recipients:
EFTA01346187: Deutsche Bank internal email from JJ Litchford reporting:
"Southern has wired $20MM out to Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin PLLC... they had a big deal closing."
Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin is Erika Kellerhals' law firm. A $20 million wire from STC to its own attorney's firm, described as a "big deal closing," represents the single largest documented outflow to a non-investment recipient.
January 8, 2016 (EFTA01346192): A separate wire chain documents the routing: Haze Trust → Jeffrey Epstein personal account → Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin Trust Account. The wire was requested by "Bella" (Bella Klein, Epstein's associate) and cc'd to both Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn.
This wire chain is structurally significant: funds moved from a grantor trust (Haze) through Epstein's personal account into a law firm trust account — three entity layers in a single transaction. The involvement of all three signatory-triad members (Kahn, Indyke, plus Bella Klein) on a single wire to a law firm trust account suggests this was not routine legal fee payment.
| Recipient | Amount | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin PLLC | $20,000,000 | EFTA01346187 |
| Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin Trust Account | Undisclosed | EFTA01346192 |
| LSJ Employees LLC (Little St. James) | $800,000 | Deutsche Bank records |
| Alostar (intermediary bank) | Undisclosed | Deutsche Bank records |
| Sberbank Irkutsk | Undisclosed | Deutsche Bank records |
The Sberbank Irkutsk wire is notable: Sberbank is Russia's largest state-owned bank, and Irkutsk is a city in Siberia. A wire from a USVI shell company described as a DNA database to a Russian state bank in Siberia falls well outside the entity's declared business activities.
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: The wire records establish that STC/SFL moved tens of millions to Kellerhals' law firm and smaller amounts to diverse recipients including a Russian state bank. The Haze Trust → Epstein → Kellerhals routing chain demonstrates multi-layer fund movement. This does NOT establish that any wire was illegal — law firms routinely receive large wires for deal closings, trust account deposits, and escrow services. The Sberbank wire context is unknown.
