"If and when the Epstein files are released, an as-yet-unseen cache of documents describing Deutsche Bank's relationship with the late financier will likely be among them. The records are currently sealed by a protective order in civil court-but that won't shield them from the Department of Justice. Other documents reviewed by Fortune shed light on how the relationship evolved. In early 2015, Deutsche Bank employees trekked to Jeffrey Epstein's gargantuan Upper East Side mansion."
"During the 15-minute meeting with Epstein, the bankers were quickly ushered into the financier's in-house conference room, where they sought to communicate the seriousness of the allegations. "He lied about everything," one of the bankers told Fortune under the condition of anonymity, due to fear of reputational and professional retribution. Epstein insisted the new claims against him were bogus. Legal filings in an Epstein victim lawsuit against Deutsche Bank corroborate this account."
Sealed records likely include documents detailing Deutsche Bank's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and those records remain accessible to the Department of Justice. Bank employees visited Epstein's 28,000-square-foot Upper East Side townhouse in early 2015 to confront him about a Florida sexual abuse lawsuit alleging child sexual exploitation and trafficking by him and associates. Epstein had been a registered sex offender since a 2008 conviction, a fact Deutsche Bank knew yet continued to manage his money. Bankers reported that Epstein lied about the allegations. Lawsuits allege Deutsche Bank managed Epstein's accounts through mid-2018 and opened more than 40 accounts from 2013 to 2018.
