to minors, the first federal charged brought against him. The indictment alleges the acts took place between 2002 through

JEFFREY EPSTEIN, 66, is charged with one count of sex trafficking of minors, which carries a maximum sentence of 40
years in prison, and one count of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minors, which carries a maximum sentence
of five years in prison.

FX WIRE RESEARCH:
Per notes in MyQ the purpose of the outgoing wire to MARC LEON on 06/26/2019 for -$12,708,324.00 was for real estate
purposes. The client was sending euros in which trades were placed. The following day, 06/27/2019, Richard Kahn called
into Schwab asking if it's possible to stop and terminate the wire.
Why does he want to cancel?
Kahn states "for a concentrated real estate transaction, and uh, what uh, terms we were told we had on uh an
agreement, were uh, not, were reneged on this morning. So uh we are hoping it still can be a deal, but at this point
the terms that I accepted are not agreeable to him I want to retract the wire ..."
Schwab agrees to attempt to recall the wire on a best efforts basis with the understanding that there might be financial

consequences and Richard Kahn agreed to assume any losses.
Schwab successfully recalled the wire, converting the EU back into USD, the loss Richard Kahn absorbed was -$113,527.80
• Additional calls identified the following statements:
• Wire was sent prematurely, but will need to send a wire for even more to a different escrow account
• If the EU goes in our benefit, do we get the profit?
• Kahn asked on 07/10/2019 if the wire request requires more than one signature ... asked to check as he needs to send
a few more wires out.
?
WHO IS MARC LEON:
Google search of MARC LEON identified a real estate company, KENSINGTON MOROCCO, where MARC LEON is listed
as a partner, working for pharmaceutical, real estate businesses, etc.
The address provided on the outgoing wire matches with the address listed on Kensington Morocco's website.
Appears customers have the ability to research luxury properties in the countries MOROCCO and FRANCE.
On 07/04/2019 a secondary wire request was submitted for a -$14,950,000.00 wire to be remitted to a different account for
the benefit of MARC LEON.
However, on 07/09/2019, Richard Kahn secure messaged Schwab asking to have the wire canceled.
The wire request form was signed by both KAHN and EPSTEIN on 07/05/2019.
Proposed Decision:
Investigator determined to file a SAR reporting the outgoing international wire attempts for real estate purposes in light of
the negative media in which articles indicate EPSTEIN is a possible flight risk. While source of funds do not appear of
concern, the narrative will detail how the funds came to Schwab.
