Subject: RE: Epstein account openin [I] From: Daniel Sabba Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:05:24 -0500 To: Todd Stevens <a> The issue is that JE was listed as president of Gratitude America Ltd in the entity's original articles of incorporation. Additionally, JE was listed as the source of funds in the initial KYC done by Paul's team. When Ari reached out to Middle Office, they looked at the KYC and flagged the request as "high risk" and asked us to get AML approval. As you recall, we already went to AML (Wayne Salit) to ask whether the account opening could be done. Wayne was the one who referred us to RRC. When we went to the RRC, they requested an external updated Enhanced Due Diligence Report. The entire back and forth over the past week is on the request for this report, which is under Paul's review for sign-off. In summary, first, the KYC does not reflect this is a separate relationship. Second, given the post-facto nature of the changes in the article of incorporation, I think AML/RRC are very likely to still require the due diligence report.

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 Morris EFTA01409573 Managing Director Deutsche Bank Private Bank From: Daniel Sabba Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2016 11:03 AM To: Paul Morris Cc: Todd Stevens; Vahe Stepanian; Ariane Dwyer Subject: Epstein account opening 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 EFTA01409574 Daniel Sabba Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. Email EFTA01409575
