🚨BREAKING: Deutsche Bank admits to enabling Jeffrey #Epstein in a $150 million settlement. Epstein engaged in suspicious transactions for YEARS—including wiring $ to co-conspirators—even though Deutsche Bank deemed him “high risk” in 2013.

Deutsche Bank allowed #Epstein’s suspicious activity to proceed largely unchecked. Instead of doing due diligence on Epstein and his banking activity, the bank focused on his potential to “generate millions of dollars of revenue as well as leads for other lucrative clients.”🤬

Epstein sent $2.65 million in 120 wire transfers through accounts established in the name of an entity called the Butterfly Trust. Some of those payments—plus money from other accounts—went to 3 co-conspirators related to his 2008 guilty plea in Florida.

In 2015, a specialist in Deutche Bank's anti-#MoneyLaundering department raised concerns about #Epstein, but unusual activity was then flagged only if it was unusual for Epstein. Payments to a #Russian🇷🇺model & PR agent were dismissed because the transactions were “normal."

It's no surprise to anyone that #Epstein was funneling cash to buy off his co-conspirators and silence his victims.

The *real* story that has yet to be told is where did all of #Epstein's money come FROM.

Follow the money, friends.😎
