As per your previous back/forth with Wayne Salit - each time this
relationship (i.e. Southern Financial) requests a new account, we must get
sign off beforehand. With that said, we wanted to make sure to go through
the proper channels such that risk is mitigated from the bank's perspective.
If RR or Wayne deems this unnecessary, we can proceed without the form.
Ultimately this is a high risk account from an AML perspective.

Paul, thank you for your note. We just double checked and Gratitude
America's formation docs lists JE as president and the entity's KYC lists JE
as source of funds. Please complete the request form whenever possible — Ari
can help. Thank you, Daniel

Daniel, isn't Gratitude America a 501-3c? Epstein is not an officer of this
and don't think was funded with his $. I'll be back in NY Thursday. If we
still need to do the external due diligence on this one let me know and I
can do over the phone with Ari and you can submit. Thanks

Paul,
Per our conversation, the reputational risk committee has requested an
external due diligence report as a step towards the approval for opening an
account for Gratitude America. This report takes about eight business days
to be completed, but we need you to please complete the attached request
form to get it started.
The committee has informed us DB personnel cannot disclose to the client
this matter is being evaluated for reputation matters. They have asked that,
when inquired, we communicate to the client "we are in the process of
internal due diligence to review the opening of this account, as it is done
with all new accounts".
Ari can help fill in any information you need in this form.
Thank you in advance,
Daniel
