Source of Wealth: The source of wealth is Jeffrey Epstein as the sole shareholder. Jeffery Epstein began his financial career in 1976 as an options trader at Bear Stearns and became a partner in 1980. In 1982, Epstein founded his own financial management firm, J. Epstein & Co., managing the assets of clients with more than a billion in net worth. In 1996, Epstein changed the name of his firm to The Financial Trust Company and based it on the island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, which merged into Southern Financial LLC. All of his clients were anonymous except for the very wealthy businessman Leslie Wexner. His wealth has come from his days at Bear Stearns and his financial management firms.

Hence green. Nina — was NCA completed? We can't see it reflected in dbCAR (still appears delinquent) but I know that is part of the broader conversation that Julia is having with Paul Chapman.

In these instances, the GM products will not be offboarded if another business has asked to retain and the KYC/ACO responsibility sits with that business. However, please also be aware that this is a High Risk client which is KYC deficient and was last reviewed in 2015. Please let me know if any other questions.

Bu you explain to me that the Red might be only when it comes to your ICG world. Can you pls clarify if this client is Red for everyone including KCP and if so how do we turn it Green, as discussed this is an example of a KCP Americas account that is ACOed by us, in this case myself.
