[GRADE A2 — DB PWM Global KYC/NCA Part A]
EFTA01283935: Complete KYC print. KYC Case #01195100. Status: Approved. Relationship Name: EPSTEIN, JEFFREY RELATIONSHIP:00000013290. Relationship Manager: Paul Morris. Booking Center: New York.
How client was introduced: "Jeffrey Epstein was a client of Paul's at JP Morgan. Paul and Jeffrey Epstein had a mutual friend/colleague who introduced them while Paul was at JPMorgan. Over the course of a few meetings Paul was able to get Jeffrey to bring some of his funds over to Deutsche Bank."
Account list (opening dates):
Expected inflows/outflows: "Roughly 2 inflows & outflows per month ranging from $1,000 to $10,000..."
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: This is the foundational onboarding KYC document — the genesis of the DB-Epstein relationship. It confirms Morris brought Epstein from JPMorgan to Deutsche Bank and that 6 accounts were opened August–September 2013. The $1K-$10K expected flows is low compared to what actually happened ($189M AUM by December 2013). The "mutual friend/colleague" who introduced them remains unidentified. KYC was APPROVED despite everything known about Epstein.
[GRADE A2 — Internal DB email chain — EFTA01458801-829]
November 10–16, 2015 email chain. Morris to Packard: "JE called, he requested coverage change, not working with DS, before I reach out to Todd wanted to discuss, between new investor sales/me/Stew we should be able to cover and increase flow business."
Packard: "Thanks, I am sandwiched today and this needs immediate attention so please take up with Gallivan and keep me in the loop. I am not as confident though that we can handle this through investor sales and you guys as this is non-advised business. Let's think this through carefully."
Packard's instruction: "Please start with Andrew as we should address this soon."
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: Epstein was directing his own coverage model at Deutsche Bank — calling Morris directly to demand changes. "DS" = unknown person Epstein refused to work with. Packard (EXECUTIVE-1) flagged concern: "non-advised business" and "think this through carefully" — awareness of compliance issues. Three senior DB executives (Morris, Packard, Gallivan) all coordinating on Epstein's demands. "Increase flow business" = Morris pitching more Epstein revenue to justify the coverage change. This is 10 months after the January 2015 ARRC home visit — Epstein still firmly in control. This does not establish improper intent — coverage changes are routine.
[GRADE A2 — Internal DB email]
December 13, 2013. Tazia Smith to Caroline Kitidis, cc Morris: "189mm AuM (more coming) / total commission just ~$11k thus far / short yen via zero cost triple one touch (OTC) / long AAL via in-the-money risk reversal (listed) / long DXJ (listed) / long AAPL (listed) / working on: fully funded basket of japanese eq, quantoed (2-3mm notional) / have interest in a european hedge, but we have to get the accounts onboarded in eq derivatives / waiting for FOMC decision before next FX trade (he's bullish euro, does not like latam)"
Kitidis: "Speak to josh about this Tazia and see what we can do."
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: $189M AUM just 4 months after onboarding — confirms Epstein was a major account from day one. Complex derivatives trading: OTC options, risk reversals, equity baskets. "More coming" = expectation of additional funds. Commission only ~$11K despite $189M AUM = they expected much more revenue. Morris cc'd = he was the RM overseeing this.
[GRADE A2 — Internal DB email chain]
August 12, 2014. Morris forwards Epstein's angry email to Caroline Kitidis (MD, Head of KCP) cc'ing Gallivan: "fyi, this is a client that is doing $75mn notional currency trades with us and we can't get the details correct, it is just embarrassing."
Epstein (jeevacation@gmail.com): "you have got to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!"
Kitidis: "Agree - not good enough. Having said that, there are mistakes that are made and we can't nit pick each one of them. Jeffreys experience hasnt been optimal, and with the addition of new coverage, this will change."
Tazia Smith (Director, Key Client Partners) involved in the underlying trade error — $273K premium on $75M USD USDCNH options.
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: Morris was Epstein's advocate within DB, escalating complaints to senior management. Kitidis acknowledged Epstein's experience was subpar. Richard Kahn cc'd on Epstein's original email. "Addition of new coverage" = they were actively expanding Epstein's service team.
[GRADE B1 — Internal DB emails]
Multiple documents showing trade executions directly with Epstein via Gmail:
[GRADE B1 — Internal DB compliance document]
DB's internal form for requesting enhanced due diligence research. Three categories: (1) open source/internet, (2) physical inquiries at public records offices, (3) enhanced inquiries by vendor requiring legal oversight. Shows DB had formal multi-tier EDD procedures — question is whether they were followed for Epstein.
[GRADE A2 — JPMorgan compliance document]
July 13, 2013. JPMorgan's internal Verify & Confirm review for MORT INC (Epstein entity). Final Risk Rating: HIGH. Initial Risk Rating: HIGH. Summary: "Convicted Felon - Several newspaper articles were found that detail the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein in Florida on felony charges..." Banker Attestation: "You are about to approve a high risk client" — Answer: YES.
WHAT THIS SHOWS: JPMorgan was ALSO flagging Epstein as high risk at the same time DB onboarded him. Both banks had the same information. Date coincides with DB onboarding period (Aug 2013).
