From document audit:
- Butterfly Trust opened at DB: 10/9/2013 (checking account)
- Butterfly Trust trustee changes (Feb 2015): Indyke/Kahn resign; replaced by Erika Kellerhals (USVI) and Harry Beller (NY)
- Butterfly Trust statements (May-June 2016): $2.98 balance, Paul Morris still listed as contact post-departure
- Consent order: $2.65M in Butterfly Trust wires to co-conspirator beneficiaries
- ⚠ TEMPORAL GAP: Flight logs end ~2005; Butterfly Trust/DB relationship begins 2013. Direct flight-wire correlation not possible for same time period. However, the USVI address (6100 Red Hook Quarter B3, St. Thomas 00802) on Butterfly Trust statements matches the geography of Maxwell/Kellen/Marcinkova USVI flights — same operational theater.
Co-conspirators (Maxwell, Kellen, Marcinkova) flew to USVI hundreds of times across 1996–2004. The Butterfly Trust was later established at Deutsche Bank with a USVI address. This suggests the USVI infrastructure (property, contacts, banking) built during the flight-log era became the foundation for later financial structures.

From prior analysis (SVE-13 gaps):
- "FirstBank Puerto Rico appears as intermediary in nearly every USVI wire"
- First Bank USVI entities identified: Thomas West Air, FSF LLC, Link Squash, Freedom Air Petroleum
- These are aviation entities — should cross-reference with Hyperion Air LLC (SVE-12)
- Post-arrest (July 2019+): Indyke as co-executor conducted extensive First Bank USVI closures
- 622 hits for "FirstBank Puerto Rico" in Epstein files index — confirming ubiquity
- Content primarily from aggregate analysis documents, not individual EFTA records
FirstBank Puerto Rico served as the primary banking intermediary for Epstein's USVI operations. The aviation-named entities (Thomas West Air, Freedom Air Petroleum) suggest it was used to bank aircraft-related shell companies. No FinancialTransaction records exist in Neo4j linking FirstBank directly — the evidence is documentary (EFTA mentions) rather than structured data. The consent order and NYDFS files do not mention FirstBank by name.
Evidence Grade: B (multiple documentary references, no direct wire records in structured data)
