Good morning
FinCEN received an Egmont Request from their counterpart in France trying to track down a financial transaction
between a USVI company (Gratitude America LTD) and a former French Ministry. It turns out that Gratitude America is
owned by Eptstein. FinCEN found three SARs related to Gratitude America.
Please let me know if you have any objections to FinCEN providing their attached response and spreadsheet which was
attached to one of the SARs to the French FIU.
Please let me know if you have any other questions/concerns.
Thanks,

Hello,
Attached for your review/comment/approval please find FinCEN's response to an Egmont information request received
from the France FIU. TRACFIN is currently looking into the relationship between ASSOCIATION POUR LA PROMOTION DE
LA POLITIQUE CULTURELLE and the US Virgin Islands company GRATITUDE AMERICA LTD. The French account of
POLITIQUE CULTURELLE received 50,000 Euros from the Deutsche Bank account of GRATITUDE. The transaction was
EFTA00153570
flagged because it lacked a clear purpose and suspicions are it may be funds from illicit activities. Furthermore, the
request indicates that the association between the two entities may be linked to "a former French Ministry".
FinCEN research revealed that GRATITUDE AMERICA LTD's beneficial owner was the high profile Jeffrey Epstein (now
deceased), who was accused of the sex trafficking of minors and misappropriating funds while employed as a money
manager. SARs identified Epstein as a "PEP" due to his ties to high-level (current/former) USG officials.
Research identified three SARs and commercial records.
Thanks,
EFTA00153571
