Epstein also maintains a WM checking account as follows: Account Number 35269691, Open Date: 03/08/2016, registered as Jeffrey Epstein, 6100 Red Hook Qtr, B3, Saint Thomas, United States Virgin Islands 00802-1348. On a monthly basis, Indyke has routinely cashed a S7,500 check drawn on Epstein's WM account at the WM Bank branch located at 345 Park Avenue, New York, NY. Occasionally, Indyke withdraws funds from his own accounts at the same time. DBTCA has previously filed CTRs on the cash withdrawal activities of Indyke exceeding $10,000 on 05/28/2014 and 02/16/2016. Suspicious Activity: According to the WM Bank Teller from 345 Park Avenue, on 07/20/2016, Indyke brought two (2) checks to the teller window: 1) Check number 1054 drawn on Epstein's WM checking account in the amount of $7,500, and 2) Check number 1045 drawn on Indyke's WM attorney business account in the amount of $4,000. Indyke presented the $7,500 check for cashing, and mentioned that he would be cashing the $4,000 check the next business day to "avoid all the paperwork and going over his cash limit." On 07/21/2016, Indyke returned to the 345 Park Avenue Branch to cash check number 1045 in the amount of S4,000 drawn on his business account. Based on Indyke's statement and behavior, it appears that he purposely structured cash transactions in order to avoid the CTR requirement. Based on the activity described above, WM AML conducted a one-year historical review of the activity in Indyke's multi-account WM relationship, and did not identify any other instances of possible CTR avoidance. Further research indicated that Epstein, Indyke's client and source of funds for the $7,500 check, spent thirteen (13) months in a Page 6 The enclosed eformation was colected and disseminated under provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act (the SSA) and U.S. Department of the Treasury regulations implementing the BSA.
