Subject: RE: Epstein account openin [I] From: Vahe Stepanian Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2016 17:39:27 -0500 To: Daniel Sabba Ariane Dwyer As per your previous back/forth with Wayne Salit - each time this relationship (i.e. Southern Financial) requests a new account, we must get sign off beforehand. With that said, we wanted to make sure to go through the proper channels such that risk is mitigated from the bank's perspective. If RR or Wayne deems this unnecessary, we can proceed without the form. Ultimately this is a high risk account from an AML perspective.

Epstein is not an officer of this and don't think was funded with his $. I'll be back in NY Thursday. If we still need to do the external due diligence on this one let me know and I can do over the phone with Ari and you can submit.

This report takes about eight business days to be completed, but we need you to please complete the attached request form to get it started. The committee has informed us DB personnel cannot disclose to the client this matter is being evaluated for reputation matters. They have asked that, when inquired, we communicate to the client "we are in the process of internal due diligence to review the opening of this account, as it is done with all new accounts". Ari can help fill in any information you need in this form. Thank you in advance, Daniel EFTA01410547 Daniel Sabba Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. EFTA01410548
