HSBC has made a unilateral decision to close down the French bank account
effective January 21, 2008. Experton has been trying to get an answer from
the Bank for the past couple of days regarding why. The acct never had a
negative balance. Finally, Experton reached the person in charge of the
account today and that person said the reason for the closure was account
activity. When Experton asked this person to clarify, the person would
not. Experton then asked the account rep to tell Experton if the account
rep either was not allowed to tell Experton why or simply refused to do
so. Experton asked if it was maybe an Arab/Jewish thing or something about
Epstein that the bank does not like at which point Experton claims that the bank
representative got nervous but would not confirm either of the two
questions.
Experton wants to know if she should push hard or is there something that
she does not know, so that she should just back off from the bank.
In the interim, for the next 15 days or so, Experton is willing to use her
escrow account to make any necessary payments. She suggests that we wire
the money from HSBC into her escrow account.
Please advise asap. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Darren K. Indyke

HSBC has decided to close down Mr. Epstein’s account (with effect as
from January 21st). There is no reason mentioned in
the letter for this decision. I will call the bank tomorrow to find out more
about it and will have the letter translated into English.
Best regards.
