FORENSIC ACCOUNTING REPORT NO. 3

INTER-ENTITY FUND FLOWS: EPSTEIN SHELL COMPANY NETWORK

Classification: Forensic Financial Analysis
Database: the primary document text database (1,808,915 redactions; 107,422 extracted entities; 39,588 reconstructed pages)

Subject: Jeffrey E. Epstein -- Deutsche Bank Relationship Manager Code 82289


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Analysis of text extracted from the DOJ Epstein files reveals a sophisticated multi-entity financial architecture maintained at Deutsche Bank under a single Relationship Manager code (RM 82289). At least 19 entities operated as an interconnected fund pool (the original count of 18 has been revised upward with the identification of Jeepers, Inc. as a significant entity in the DS11 revisit), managed by bankers Jj Litchford (primary) and Paul Morris (secondary), with day-to-day operations handled by Stewart Oldfield and Bradley Gillin. The entire structure was organized under the umbrella designation "SOUTHERN FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP" -- meaning Deutsche Bank treated all sub-entities as a single client relationship.

Key findings:
- Total consolidated assets exceeded $110 million across all entities at peak. CORRECTION (Revisit): DS11 email from Richard Kahn (EFTA02671293) shows the top 3 entities alone held $159,125,000 as of October 2015 (Southern Trust $82.5M + Haze Trust $47.375M + Southern Financial $29.25M). A June 2013 master valuation (EFTA02678941) shows total portfolio of $319,455,302 including partnerships and investments. The original $110M estimate was based on incomplete DB balance reports and significantly understated actual holdings.
- THE HAZE TRUST alone held $49.5 million at peak in its DBAGNY sub-account (Account N4G024943), plus investment positions in a separate Brokerage sub-account
- SOUTHERN TRUST COMPANY, INC. held $82.5 million at peak (10/31/2015 per EFTA02671293). The original report identified only $45.15M (09/30/16), which was 11 months later and reflected intervening disbursements
- Inter-entity DDA-to-DDA fund transfers occurred via account 739110438 (Epstein personal) to at least three subsidiary accounts
- Book transfers moved funds between entities without external wire activity
- A derivatives overlay ("Harvest Collateral Yield Enhancement Strategy") operated through the structure
- The "2017 CATERPILLAR TRUST" appears as an additional entity with returned funds generating compliance concern

CRITICAL OBSERVATION: Multiple entities (Haze Trust, Southern Financial, Southern Trust, Darren K. Indyke PLLC, Gratitude America) appear TWICE in the same report with different account categories (D vs M, or two D accounts). This means each entity maintained multiple accounts at Deutsche Bank -- e.g., The Haze Trust had at least two accounts, one showing $2.5M and another showing $40.6M.

3. INTER-ENTITY FUND FLOW ANALYSIS

3.1 DDA-to-DDA Internal Transfers (Fedwire Range EFTA01482000-01530000)

The personal Epstein account (DDA# 000000739110438) served as the central hub for inter-entity transfers:

EFTA# Transfer Description From Account To Account
EFTA01482909 Funds Transferred From DDA 739110438 (Epstein) [destination redacted]
EFTA01482935 Funds Transferred From DDA 739110438 (Epstein) [destination redacted]
EFTA01482950 Funds Transferred From DDA 739110438 (Epstein) 739123130
EFTA01482967 Funds Transferred From DDA 739110438 (Epstein) 739121472
EFTA01483039 Funds Transferred From DDA 739110438 (Epstein) 739474340

Additional flow: An asset account transfer was also observed:
- EFTA01483035: "From Asset Ac# Q30171005 To DDA Ac# 000000739110438"

CRITICAL: Asset account Q30171005 is confirmed as belonging to SOUTHERN TRUST COMPANY, INC. (Source: EFTA01583582, EFTA01584675, EFTA01584982 -- Morgan Online Administration Tool records). This means Southern Trust Company liquidated assets and sent proceeds to Epstein's personal account.

Account 739121472 appears in multiple records with "LETTER FROM CLIENT" and "AS REQUESTED" notations (EFTA01497326, EFTA01497327, EFTA01497375), suggesting this was a managed account where transfers were made at the client's direction.

3.2 Book Transfers (Internal Bank Movements)

Book transfers -- movements within the same bank that bypass the wire system -- were documented:

EFTA# Description Counterparty/Detail
EFTA01483362 03/30 Book Transfer A/C: Zorro Trust, New York, NY
EFTA01527665 11/16 Book Transfer Zorro Trust
EFTA01482759 Book Transfer NC: STRANGHAYES HOLDING
EFTA01483094 Book Transfer NC: Banc[o...]
EFTA01483269 10/28 Book Transfer MC: Banco
EFTA01483341 Book Transfer A/C: The[...]
EFTA01524814 05/30 Book Transfer NC: Samantha K Harris, New York, NY
EFTA01528492 06/14 Book Transfer A/C: Gulfstream A[erospace]
EFTA01437262 BOOK TRANSFER D[ebit] [In context of OUTGOING MONEY from entity account]
EFTA01482368 Book Transfer Debit [Multiple]
EFTA01482375 Book Transfer Debit [Multiple]
EFTA01524219 Book Transfer Debit [From entity account]

Key observation: Book transfers to ZORRO TRUST appear in both the Epstein personal account statements and the Zorro entity statements, confirming bidirectional money flow. The Gulfstream book transfer connects to aviation operations (JEGE, LLC / HYPERION AIR).

3.3 Internal Transfer of Funds / Automatic Transfers

EFTA# Description
EFTA01482260 03/18 Internal Transfer of Funds, As Requested
EFTA01482271 04/05 Internal Transfer of Funds, As Requested
EFTA01482474 Internal Funds Transfer
EFTA01482494 Internal Funds Transfer
EFTA01482500 Internal Funds Transfer
EFTA01482650 Internal Funds Transfer - JEFFREY E EPSTEIN
EFTA01528427 Internal Transfer of Funds
EFTA01528444 Internal Transfer
EFTA01414982 SOUTHERN FINANCIAL LLC $1,132,731.96 -- AUTOMATIC TRNSFR C

CRITICAL: The AUTOMATIC TRNSFR notation on the Southern Financial LLC entry (EFTA01414982) indicates a standing automatic sweep -- likely a cash management arrangement where funds were automatically transferred between Southern Financial and another entity (probably Epstein personal or Southern Trust) on a scheduled basis.

3.4 Fedwire Transfers to/from Entity Names

EFTA# Wire Description Entity Referenced
EFTA01482283 05/29 Fedwire Debit Via: Wells Fargo NA/121000248 NC: Zorro Development Corp.
EFTA01482300 07/03 Fedwire Debit Via: Mfrs Buf/022000046 NC: International Jet Interiors -- Ref. Jege
EFTA01524478 Fedwire Debit Via: Citibank West Nes LIc [NES LLC] / Direct Debit
EFTA01482300 Fedwire Debit to Firstbank Puerto Rico Fao Lsje, LLC
EFTA01527665 Fedwire Debit Via: multiple banks A/C: Lsj LLC [LSJE]

3.5 The "SOUTHERN FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP" Structure

A critical recovered record (EFTA01427242) explicitly identifies the hierarchical structure:

Stewart Oldfield
SOUTHERN FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP -- Darren K. Indyke PLLC
                                    DARREN K. INDYKE PLLC

Stewart Oldfield
SOUTHERN FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP -- JEGE, Inc
                                    JEGE, INC -- 6100 [Red Road address]

This confirms that SOUTHERN FINANCIAL LLC was the parent/umbrella relationship under which other entities were nested. Additional records confirm:
- JEGE, LLC was added to the SOUTHERN FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP on 2/17/2015 (EFTA01398741), managed by Paul Morris
- GRATITUDE AMERICA was part of the "SOUTHERN FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP" (EFTA01477330)
- The relationship was activated 10/19/2015 (EFTA01477330)

4.17 HELICOPTER 1029 LLC

4.18 AVILOOP LLC


5. DERIVATIVES AND STRUCTURED PRODUCTS

5.1 Harvest Collateral Yield Enhancement Strategy (CYES)

Assessment: The Harvest CYES was likely deployed on the SOUTHERN TRUST COMPANY or HAZE TRUST portfolio (the two largest accounts), using Deutsche Bank's advisory infrastructure. The strategy appears to have been a collateralized options overlay generating yield on the multi-million dollar holdings.

7. KEY FORENSIC FINDINGS

7.1 The Haze Trust Rapid Drawdown (June-November 2018)

The most striking fund flow pattern is the $46.96 million drawdown of The Haze Trust in approximately 5 months:

Date Haze Trust Balance (Primary) Change
06/21/2018 $49,460,098.13 --
08/17/2018 $40,583,100.79 -$8,876,997
08/28/2018 $35,583,100.79 -$5,000,000
10/03/2018 $12,690,279.36 -$22,892,821
11/14/2018 $2,503,667.84 -$10,186,612

Total drained: ~$46,956,430

This drawdown coincides with the period when Deutsche Bank was preparing to exit the Epstein relationship. The $5,000,000 exact round-number drop between 08/17 and 08/28 suggests a single large transfer. The massive $22.9M drop in October 2018 could indicate bulk asset liquidation and transfer.

7.2 Caterpillar Trust -- Returned Funds Compliance Issue

Multiple email chains discuss "returned funds to Caterpillar" -- funds that were sent to the Caterpillar Trust but were returned/rejected. Key participants:
- Brigid Macias (DB operations)
- Bradley Gillin (DB compliance/operations)
- Richard Kahn (Epstein CFO)
- Darren Indyke (Epstein attorney)

The Caterpillar Trust had 2 accounts (confirmed: "The 2017 Caterpillar Trust 2 accounts") and was subject to a separate KYC review (Case#13959886). The returned funds suggest either the receiving bank rejected the transfer or compliance holds were placed.

7.3 Neptune LLC Wire Anomalies

The "$1200 and $1000 wires" from Neptune LLC (EFTA01425378, EFTA01426627, EFTA01435069) are unusually small for a corporate account. These small, round-number wires from an entity holding $100K-$366K could indicate:
- Test transactions before larger transfers
- Regular small payments (rent, services)
- Structuring to avoid reporting thresholds (though at $1200/$1000, this would be far below the $10K CTR threshold)

7.4 LSJE Wire Emergency

Three separate email records document a frantic "HELP TO STOP WIRE FROM LSJE TO [destination]" message involving Richard Kahn and Bradley Gillin. The urgency and the fact that it was copied to multiple people suggest either:
- A wire was sent to the wrong recipient
- A compliance hold was being triggered
- Funds were being redirected at the last moment

7.5 The Indyke PLLC Nexus

Darren K. Indyke PLLC maintained two separate accounts at Deutsche Bank:
1. A "D" category account (balance: $116K-$440K)
2. An "M" category account (balance: ~$268K, very stable)

The stable M-account suggests a trust or escrow function. The volatile D-account suggests an operating account receiving and disbursing funds. Indyke was explicitly placed under the "SOUTHERN FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP" alongside JEGE, INC -- confirming his accounts were treated as part of the Epstein entity network, not as an independent law practice account.

7.6 Bank Accounts Closing (2018)

Multiple references to "bank accounts closing" (EFTA01376270, EFTA01387487, EFTA01430770) involving Darren Indyke, Stewart Oldfield, and Bradley Gillin suggest a coordinated closure:
- "Re: 2 bank accounts closing" (EFTA01387487)
- "accounts closing [C]" marked as confidential (EFTA01430770)
- "Securities offered thro[ugh]" in same email context -- suggesting securities were being liquidated as part of the closing process

7.7 Consolidated Financial Position (Estimated Peak)

Entity Estimated Peak Balance
THE HAZE TRUST $49,460,098
SOUTHERN TRUST COMPANY, INC. $45,151,615
SOUTHERN FINANCIAL LLC $7,013,128
GRATITUDE AMERICA, LTD $2,075,025
JEFFREY EPSTEIN (personal) $4,378,298
PLAN D, LLC $789,558
BUTTERFLY TRUST $734,175
LSJE, LLC $501,906
NES, LLC $563,000 (est.)
JEGE, LLC $463,079
DARREN K. INDYKE PLLC (combined) $708,659
ZORRO MANAGEMENT, LLC $464,683
HBRK ASSOCIATES, INC $418,599
NEPTUNE, LLC $366,478
PLAN D, LLC $326,685
CRW 2009 LLC $251,903
PRYTANEE, LLC $197,000 (est.)
HYPERION AIR, LLC $147,204
ESTIMATED TOTAL $113,000,000+

Note: Not all entities reached peak simultaneously. This represents aggregate maximum across all observed accounts.


8. COMPLIANCE AND REGULATORY FLAGS

8.1 AML Investigations

8.2 The 25-Subject SAR Filing

The SAR at EFTA01656524 named 25 subjects in a single filing -- an extraordinary scope that indicates Deutsche Bank's compliance team ultimately viewed the entire network as suspicious. The SAR notes:
- "debits to account"
- "consist of two checks totaling $100"
- Reference to "Case LLP" -- possibly a legal matter

8.3 Daily Deposit Reports

RM0082289 Daily Deposit Reports were generated and sent to Stewart Oldfield, Bradley Gillin, Robert Dicerbo, and Arthur Tremblay (EFTA01413851) -- indicating the account activity required daily monitoring.


9. ASSOCIATED INDIVIDUALS AND EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS

9.1 Key Personnel at Deutsche Bank

9.2 Key Personnel at Epstein Organization

9.3 External Connections


10. CONCLUSIONS

10.1 Entity Structure and Opacity

The Epstein financial network at Deutsche Bank was a hub-and-spoke structure with multiple structural layers:

  1. Layer 1 (Hub): Jeffrey Epstein personal account (DDA 739110438) served as the central clearing account
  2. Layer 2 (Primary Holdings): Southern Trust ($45M) and The Haze Trust ($49M) held the bulk of assets
  3. Layer 3 (Operating Entities): ~12 entities with $100K-$7M each handled specific functions (aviation, real estate, legal, property management)
  4. Layer 4 (Trust/Charitable): Butterfly Trust and Gratitude America functioned as charitable/trust vehicles
  5. Layer 5 (Additional vehicles): Caterpillar Trust, Prytanee LLC, Aviloop LLC, and others served specialized purposes

All entities were managed by the same banker team, nested under a single "Southern Financial Relationship," and appeared on a single consolidated balance report -- meaning Deutsche Bank was fully aware these were not independent entities but a single coordinated operation.

10.2 Money Movement Patterns

10.3 The 2018 Wind-Down

The data strongly suggests a coordinated wind-down in 2018:
- The Haze Trust was drained from $49.5M to $2.5M between June and November 2018
- "Bank accounts closing" emails in 2018
- "Securities offered through" references in closing context
- Southern Trust declined from $45M (2016) to low millions by late 2018

This wind-down preceded Epstein's July 2019 arrest by approximately 6-12 months, raising the question of whether the drawdown was in anticipation of legal exposure.

ADDENDUM: DS9/DS11 REVISIT FINDINGS (2026-02-12)

Jeepers, Inc. -- The 19th Entity (Glenn Dubin Conduit)

DS11 reveals Jeepers, Inc. as a significant entity with $22-28M in assets and a direct financial connection to Glenn Dubin. Under an "Assignment of Economic Interest Agreement dated August 1, 2011," Dubin assigned his Fortress Value Recovery Fund interest to Jeepers (an Epstein entity). Kahn managed ongoing distributions: "per agreement all money goes to [Dubin] until he receives back the 4,375,302 he just sent to jeepers thereafter jeepers keeps 100% of all distributions" (EFTA02359292). EFTA00165822 (DS9) confirms JEEPERSINC alongside other Epstein entities on Deutsche Bank trading authorization with account N4G024935.

Multi-Bank Architecture (5+ Banks)

EFTA02711200 (DS11) reveals the entity network operated across at least 5 banks: Deutsche Bank (majority), First Bank (Puerto Rico), UBS, BNP Paribas, and Wells Fargo. Southern Trust held $70.8M at Deutsche Bank and $828K at First Bank. Jeepers held $22.7M at Deutsche Bank. The original report focused exclusively on Deutsche Bank.

Haze Trust: Giacometti Sculpture ($18-27.5M)

DS11 reveals the Haze Trust also held a Giacometti sculpture ("Figure moyenne II") with a Christie's auction estimate of $18-25M (EFTA02654666) and a guarantee offer of $20M (EFTA02389513). A Braque and the Giacometti were purchased for $30M total but estimated at only $19-22M at resale, generating a $7-10M non-deductible personal loss (EFTA02654984). Leon Black personally advised on Paris storage at Chenue warehouse (EFTA02350093). His art advisor Heather Gray (Elysium Management) managed the sales.

Caterpillar Trust: 2-Year GRAT

DS11 and DS9 reveal the Caterpillar Trust was a 2-year grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT) established January 3, 2017, with Lesley Groff and Daphne Wallace as trustees. Groff asked: "What is the Caterpillar Trust for?" Klein replied: "Asset that we should sell and need a bank account to park money" (EFTA02238206). At closure (March 2019), $2.16M was moved to a new Butterfly Trust account at Morgan Stanley (EFTA02636559). Trust instrument (EFTA01255393) confirms termination clause directing balance to The 2013 Butterfly Trust.

LSJE LLC: Personal Spending Vehicle

DS11 reveals LSJE was heavily used for personal purchases directed by Karyna Shuliak: Chinese furniture ($4,850 + $15,300, Heshan Ruihui), Balinese art (Miroku/Nikini Art Indonesia), Swiss finishing school tuition (Institut Villa Pierrefeu, 34,510 CHF), rattan furniture for St. Thomas, a pool for the USVI property, and a wire that bounced through Alfa Bank Russia (EFTA02629919).

Ariane de Rothschild: Contingent Fee to Southern Trust

EFTA02493823 (DS11): Epstein negotiated a contingent fee with Ariane de Rothschild: "ariane pays southern trust (my co). based on final settlement with DOJ. payment between 150-200 -- 5 million, 100-150. 10 million, under 100 25 million." Kathy Ruemmler (former Obama White House Counsel) provided legal advice on the structure. The reference to "rothschild baer" and a "liquidity event" suggests Epstein was advising on restructuring of the Edmond de Rothschild Group.

Aviloop LLC: Nadia Marcinkova Financial Support

DS11 documents regular Aviloop wires from JEE personal accounts, a $50K furnished apartment (EFTA02726121), income classification discussions ($43,876 since February 2018), and consideration for involvement in a Gulfstream IV sale (EFTA02617189, November 2018).

Payroll Analysis: 116+ Employees, $9.5M/Year

EFTA02397369 (DS11): "JEE 2010 Payroll & Benefits Analysis" shows 12 entities employing 116+ people at $9.5M total. Island Grounds Inc. was the largest (69 employees, $2.8M). DKI PLLC (Darren K. Indyke) paid 2 employees $1.66M (averaging $832K each).
