In 2013, Vrablic and two of her Deutsche employees bought a Park Ave apartment for $1.5 million from "Bergel 715 Associates."
On Friday, Jared Kushner for the first time disclosed a stake in Bergel. Sources confirmed to @nytimes that he had the stake at time of the Vrablic deal.

Until now, Deutsche Bank has tried to shield Vrablic from outside scrutiny, presumably in part because she knows *so much* about the Trump and Kushner relationships.

Also, remember what happened with Kushner/Deutsche in 2016.

Rosemary Vrablic has been worried for a long time that @DeutscheBank might throw her under the bus. She took precautions. (From DARK TOWERS)
