In March 2017, Nili Priell Barak (Ehud Barak's wife) emailed Epstein transfer information for "Co. for the benefit of the Public" (Achrayut Leumit Ltd), signed "EB." Epstein forwarded to Kahn, who executed a $40K wire from HBRK Associates.
DB AML flagged the wire (Case 141374). Kahn's answers via Cynthia Rodriguez: Purpose = "Contributions for public policy organization in Israel." Relationship = "Friend." Entity = "Public Policy Org." No escalation followed.
On March 14, 2019, Epstein confirmed to Indyke that he was "the controlling person of the STC" for Carbyne warrant issuance. STC transferred $2.4M for its share of the additional Carbyne investment. On March 15, 2019, Kahn forwarded Carbyne annual statements and financials to Epstein, noting: "i have not yet reviewed." This occurred two weeks before Kahn's "close accounts as quickly as possible" email, demonstrating simultaneous investment activity and wind-down operations.
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: The documents establish that Kahn executed a $40K wire directed by Ehud Barak through his wife, characterized it to DB compliance as a charitable contribution, facilitated $2.4M in Carbyne investment via STC, and forwarded Carbyne financial statements. The routing -- Barak's wife to Epstein to Kahn to HBRK to Israeli entity -- is notable for its indirection, and the characterization provided to AML was Kahn's own.
