Deutsche Bank Ended Its Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein This Year

Deutsche Bank AG severed business ties with Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, just as federal authorities were preparing to charge the disgraced financier with operating a sex-trafficking ring of underage girls out of his opulent homes in Manhattan and Palm Beach.

The German bank, itself a subject of unrelated government investigations, closed Epstein’s accounts over several months, according to a person familiar with the situation, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters.

It’s unclear how much money was involved or how long Epstein was a customer of Deutsche Bank, which maintained the accounts long after he was convicted of sex crimes more than a decade ago. A company spokesman in New York declined to comment.

Epstein was arrested Saturday and charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy by federal prosecutors in New York. The Justice Department is seeking to send him to prison for years and seize his Manhattan mansion. He previously served 13 months in a Florida prison as part of the plea deal, which came under renewed scrutiny after the Miami Herald revisited the case in a November report.

The revelation of the closed accounts adds to the mystery surrounding Epstein’s supposed fortune. Despite his lavish lifestyle and rich acquaintances, the extent of his wealth – and how he acquired it – remains unclear. He left Bear Stearns in 1981 to set up his own firm after a swift rise at the investment bank. While he reportedly managed money for billionaires for decades, his trades, if any, have attracted little attention from most market players despite an outsize lifestyle featuring private jets and luxury homes. He was arrested on the weekend after returning from Paris on his Gulfstream G550.

Still, some details about his business dealings have emerged.

Epstein served as a director to Leon Black’s family foundation from 2001. He resigned in July 2007 at the family’s request and has not been affiliated with or performed any duties for the Foundation since that date,” a spokeswoman for the private equity executive’s foundation said in an emailed statement. His name mistakenly appeared on disclosure forms filed with the federal government from 2008 to 2012, she said.

His Financial Trust Co. had a $121 million investment in hedge fund firm DB Zwirn & Co., which shut down in 2008. Financial Trust also was also a major investor in Bear Stearns’s High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage Fund, whose collapse helped ignite the global financial crisis.

So little is known about Epstein’s current business or clients that the only things that can be valued with any certainty are his properties. The Manhattan mansion is estimated to be worth at least $77 million, according to a federal document submitted in advance of his bail hearing.

He also has properties in New Mexico, Paris and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he has a private island, and a Palm Beach estate with an assessed value of more than $12 million. He shuttles between them by private jet and has at least 15 cars, including seven Chevrolet Suburbans, according to federal authorities.

Sajid Javid takes a swipe at Donald Trump over 'go back home' comments as he delivers speech on 'extremist myths' and calls for leaders to tone down language

😂 Mr Javid called for an honest 'national conversation' about extremism

😂 He challenged anti-immigration rhetoric, which he says is stoking division

😂 Trump sparked racism row when he sent tweets to female Democrat politicians

😂 He told quartet to 'go back' home to foreign countries - three were born in the US

Sajid Javid took a swipe at racially charged rhetoric used by Donald Trump and other populist leaders today as he demands public figures 'moderate their language' to halt the spread of poisonous ideologies.

The Home Secretary called for an honest 'national conversation' about extremism and challenge anti-immigration rhetoric, which he says is stoking division and fear.

It comes after the US president sparked a racism row when he sent tweets telling four female Democratic politicians to 'go back' to the countries from which they came.

The president is facing widespread condemnation over comments widely perceived to be about outspoken critic Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and three other female politicians, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib.

Only Ms Omar, from Somalia, is foreign-born, and she has lived in the US since arriving as a 10-year-old refugee in 1992.

His tweets were followed by a crowd at one his his rallies chanting 'send her back' about Mrs Omar, one of his fiercest critics.

In his speech today in London Mr Javid said: 'I'm from an immigrant family, I know what it's like to be told to go back to where I came from – and I don't think they mean Rochdale.

'To be truly pro-immigration we must be pro-integration too.

'To do this, we must confront the myths about immigration that extremists use to drive divisions.

'We know the scale is exaggerated to stoke up fear and that they use immigration as a proxy for race.

'Sweeping plans to cut immigration as if it's automatically bad can add to the stigma.'

Mr Javid outlined a three-pronged approach of tackling extremism - confronting narratives, strengthening communities' resilience and tackling causes of confronting extremist narratives - in what is being touted as one of the first major interventions since the Counter Extremism Strategy was launched in 2015.

He used the speech to attack the London-based CAGE group, which campaigns for an 'end to the war on terror'.

He said it is one of the most prominent organisations that 'rejects our shared values' and promised to revoke its licence to sponsor people coming into the country.

He also called for further integration within society, more help for people to learn English, greater support for communities and a celebration of national identity.

He said: 'Everyone has a part to play; broadcasters who must not give a platform to extremists, police who must swoop on the worst offenders and public figures who must moderate their language.

'And anyone can challenge the myths peddled by extremists that deepen divisions.

'So tell your friends, shout it loud and proud, people from minority backgrounds did not steal our jobs, they're not terrorists and that there is no global Zionist conspiracy.

'I will not flinch from confronting extremism. I will do everything in my power to stop those who seek to undermine our country,' Mr Javid told civil society groups, charities and academics.

'If we are to stop extremism in its tracks we must have the courage to confront it, the strength to take decisive action, and the foresight to tackle the root causes.

'Public discourse is hardening and becoming less constructive.

'Everyone has a part to play: broadcasters who must not give a platform to extremists; police who must swoop on the worst offenders; public figures who must moderate their language.'

The speech took place following the publication of a poll carried out by the independent Commission for Countering Extremism, which is working on a review of the threat and response to extremism in England and Wales.

Almost 3,000 people replied to the call to share their experience of extremism, the commission said.

The results show more than half (52 per cent) of the respondents have witnessed extremism, with 45 per cent of them saying they had seen it online and 39% of them reporting seeing it in their local area.

Of those, 59 per cent said they had seen Islamist extremism, 37 per cent far right extremism and 29 per cent far left extremism.

Speaking ahead of the Home Secretary's speech entitled Confronting Extremism Together, lead commissioner Sara Khan said: 'I was shocked to see that more than half of the respondents have witnessed extremism in some way, and that two-fifths of those that had witnessed it said they'd seen it in their local area.

'The findings underline the breadth and severity of the concerns we have in 2019.

'People are scared that violent extremists will incite or carry out an attack.

'Communities are also deeply concerned about the impact of groups exploiting local tensions to spread hate and division.'

Jeffrey Epstein Borrowed ‘Tainted Money’ From Deutsche Bank, Says Former Mentor

The origins of Jeffrey Epstein’s financial empire remain a mystery to even billionaires. But the investor’s former Wall Street mentor has one theory about how Epstein amassed his fortune: Fraud.

In a phone interview with Observer, Steven Hoffenberg alleged Epstein participated in a Ponzi scheme the two ran together in the 1980s, before using the ill-gotten gains to launch his investment company with the help of financial loans from Deutsche Bank.

“Its a very simplistic financial fraud that he concealed from everybody that gave him tainted money,” said Hoffenberg. “He never told anybody, and I literally mean anybody, that gave him any money since he left Towers, that he was part of Towers. And that’s a securities fraud because when you take money from people, you have to tell them your history.”

Hoffenberg oversaw Towers Financial, but was sentenced to 20 years in jail in 1997 for defrauding clients out of $450 million. Although Epstein was never charged in the case, a lawsuit filed last year by former Towers investors lists the financier as “an uncharged co-conspirator,” and alleges he “knowingly and intentionally utilized funds he fraudulently diverted and obtained from this massive Ponzi scheme for his own personal use to support a lavish lifestyle.”

“If Jeffrey Epstein was materially involved in the management of Towers Financial, as his former associate Steven Hoffenberg has alleged, or he substantially assisted and had knowledge of the Ponzi scheme through various corporate transactions with Towers Financial, then he would be subject to liability for that Ponzi, and further, may have committed securities fraud on his future clients by not disclosing his prior involvement,” Jeff Sonn, a securities attorney and founder of Sonn Law Group, told Observer. “The problem I see is that Hoffenberg waited some 20 years to come forward with these new allegations, and he may have reduced his 18-year sentence by implicating Epstein in the Ponzi scheme back in 1994 but didn’t do so.”

Hoffenberg said he did not tell prosecutors because he pleaded guilty at the time, but later came forward because he believed Epstein should pay restitution to Towers investors. Hoffenberg also told Observer that Deutsche Bank provided significant financial loans to Epstein.

“His lead bank is Deutsche Bank, Germany, that runs the lead on his financial trust company. They run the platform in the trading of the currencies for Epstein and with Epstein. He’s never disclosed to the investors that provide the money to Deutsche Bank his true legacy, that’s securities fraud,” said Hoffenberg. “And that makes the government available to seize all his money, literally all his money. He’s not going to be able to use his money because it’s got to go to a restitution fund because it’s tainted money.”

Representatives for Deutsche Bank declined to comment. An attorney for Epstein did not respond to Observer’s inquiry.

Long considered an investment platform for the rich and powerful, Deutsche Bank has been plagued with scandals since the 2008 Financial Crisis. In 2017, the bank reached a $7.2 billion settlement with the U.S. Justice Department over allegedly misleading investors on mortgage-backed securities, and was later fined $630 million for alleged involvement in Russian money laundering.

Last week, Deutsche Bank announced it would cut 18,000 jobs and downsize its investment operations.

Anons digg on this trio of massive and expensive paintings…'

Deutsche Bank removes a trio of massive and expensive paintings from its Wall Street lobby

😂 ''Deutsche Bank removed three abstract paintings by German artist Gerhard Richter from its New York office's lobby, Bloomberg reports.''

😂 ''The paintings are estimated to be worth between $12 million and $30 million. A bank spokesman declined to say whether the paintings were sold.''

😂 ''The art's removal follows a "radical transformation" announced by Deutsche to slash about 18,000 jobs and focus more on commercial and corporate clients.''

😂 ''Visit the Markets Insider homepage for more stories.''

Three large abstract paintings by German artist Gerhard Richter were removed from Deutsche Bank's Wall Street lobby, according to a Bloomberg report.

The works were acquired by the bank in the early 1980s and are valued between $12 million and $30 million, Bloomberg reported.

The German bank owns one of the largest corporate art collections, estimated to hold about 55,000 pieces. The collection helps the bank bond with its clients, DB's global head of wealth management, Fabrizio Campelli, told Bloomberg.

"When you share passions, genuine passion with your clients, it can build a much more solid relationship," he said.

The change in lobby decor follows a shakeup for the bank's operations. DB announced earlier in July it would cut about 18,000 jobs by 2022 and eliminate its trading unit in an effort to lower costs and pivot to serving primarily commercial and corporate clients.

The pieces were moved to make room for newer art, bank spokesman Klaus Winker told Bloomberg. He declined to say whether the paintings were sold and where they are currently located.

"We have a special program for the publicly accessible areas in our locations to show young and up-and-coming artists," he said.

Richter is known for his vibrant abstract paintings. Rock legend Eric Clapton sold a painting by the 87-year-old artist in 2012 for roughly £21.3 million — about $34 million at the time.
