RE: Epstein
EFTA01399508
Classification: Confidential
Jeffrey Epstein has been a client since 2013 — which is after his conviction in 2008 for which he was sentenced to 18 months in prison and served 13 months. At the time he was onboarded, the potential reputational risk concerns were escalated to regional management by Chip Packard, Head WM Americas, including John Caruso, Head AML Compliance Americas. Chip was given the go ahead to proceed "so long as nothing further is identified through KYC and AML client adoption". Email from 2013 is attached.
A number of KYC updates have been processed for Mr. Epstein since 2013 and all alerts have been cleared — often relying on the original clearance by Chip Packard and John Caruso. Sample of an RDC clearance from 2016 is attached.
If you let me know the exact date of the alert I can see if I can find the clearance.

Articles in the Miami Herald by Julie K. Brown which have been mentioned in a lot of the recent news articles:
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article220097825.html
The week after Thanksgiving, a package published by the Miami Herald made
national headlines. Julie K. Brown, an investigative journalist at the
paper, reported that, in 2007, lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein—a super-rich New
York financier accused of cultivating a network of underage girls and
coercing them into sex acts at his Palm Beach mansion—cut an extraordinary,
secret plea deal with federal prosecutors in Miami: in return for a mere 13
months in the county jail (with work-release privileges), the government
would grant Epstein immunity from federal charges and effectively curtail an
FBI probe into his potential accomplices. Epstein's victims would be kept in
the dark about the deal until it was too late for them to appeal it; one
official even offered to help Epstein's team "avoid the press." Allegations
against Epstein have long been newsworthy, but Brown's reporting added a
fresh new angle. The plea deal was signed off by Alexander Acosta: then the
US attorney in Miami, now Trump's labor secretary.
