EFTA01479252 (Dec 9, 2015): AML Compliance Inquiries to Paul Morris, cc Cherie Quigley:
"The above referenced account [JEFFREY EPSTEIN] has had the following recent activity... OUTGOING WIRE sent 8/14/15 to FT REAL ESTATE (FIRSTBANK PUERTO RICO) in the amount of $400,000.00"
Questions: (1) Purpose of wire? (2) Relationship to FT Real Estate? (3) What is FT Real Estate? Where domiciled?
"PLEASE NOTE: YOU ARE BEING CONTACTED BECAUSE YOU ARE LISTED AS THE PRIMARY OFFICER FOR THIS ACCOUNT ON GCIS."
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: Morris was directly questioned by AML Compliance about a $400K wire to a Puerto Rico real estate entity. He was contacted specifically because he was listed as PRIMARY OFFICER in the GCIS system. Quigley cc'd confirms she was monitoring Epstein transactions even in 2015. This documents compliance engaging Morris about suspicious wire activity but does not establish that the wire was improper.
