Re: July 11, 2019 Subpoena to Deutsche Bank

Dear [Redacted]:

On behalf of our client, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch and its affiliates ("Deutsche
Bank" or the "Bank"), we write in further response to the grand jury subpoena dated July 11, 2019
(the "Subpoena"). This letter and the enclosed document production represent the eleventh
submission in our client's rolling response to the Subpoena.

Enclosed with this letter is an encrypted file labeled DB-SDNY-PROD011 containing
documents responsive to items I, 4, 7, 9, 12, 19, 20, and 27 of the Subpoena. As described in the
enclosed production index, labeled Appendix A, today's production contains the following
categories of documents responsive to the Subpoena:

• DB-SDNY-0028783 to 0031309: Bank records and electronic
communications related to the following topics:

o The Bank's decision to onboard the Epstein Relationship
(designated as "Onboarding" in Appendix A);

o In-person meetings between Bank personnel, Jeffrey Epstein, and/or
his associates (designated as "Meetings" in Appendix A);

o The transfer of Jeffrey Epstein's assets from JP Morgan to Deutsche
Bank from 2013 through 2014 (designated as "Transfer" in
Appendix A);

o The Bank's policies and procedures related to its Americas
Reputational Risk Committee from 2013 to 2018 (designated as
"ARRC" in Appendix A);

o Certain revenue-sharing accounts opened by the Bank in connection
with the Epstein relationship (designated as "Revenue Sharing
Accounts" in Appendix A).

• DB-SDNY-0031310 to 0031643: Bank records related to wire transfers
from Jeffrey Epstein’s charitable entity, Gratitude America, Ltd., to the
[Redacted] Foundation (designated as "[Redacted]" in
Appendix A).

• DB-SDNY-0031644 to 0033038: Bank records, including emails, related
to large, routine cash withdrawals made by Jeffrey Epstein's attorney,
[Redacted], and accountant, [Redacted] (designated as "Cash
Transactions" in Appendix A).

• DB-SDNY-0033039 to 0033067: Bank records, including emails, related
to certain large wire transfers involving Jeffrey Epstein's U.S. Virgin
Islands-based attorney, [Redacted] (designated as "[Redacted]" in
Appendix A).

• DB-SDNY-0033068 to 0033069: A September 2013 email from Jeffrey
Epstein's accountant, [Redacted], to [Redacted]s assistant,
[Redacted], attaching a list of Epstein's JP Morgan accounts (designated as "JPM
Accounts" in Appendix A).

• DB-SDNY-0033070 to 0037559: Check images written from over twenty
Epstein-affiliated accounts (designated as "Checks" in Appendix A).

Today’s production also encloses as Appendix B a set of five supplemental exhibits that
we have prepared in response to questions raised in our prior discussions. The supplemental
exhibits relate to the following issues:

• Wire Transfers Related to Epstein Investments: Supplemental Exhibit
A identifies wire transfers to third party bank accounts that appear to relate
to investments in hedge funds and other private investment vehicles.

• List of Payees of LSJE, LLC Account: Supplemental Exhibit B provides
background information on the recipients of payments from an Epstein-
controlled account, LSJE, LLC. KYC records indicate that Epstein planned
to use the LSJE account as a "[c]hecking account for the daily expenses
associated with running one of Jeffrey Epstein's private homes." KYC
records do not specify which private home. The transactions reflected in
Exhibit B suggest that LSJE was used, at least in part, to manage Epstein's
Palm Beach estate.

• Butterfly Trust Account Transactions: Supplemental Exhibit C
identifies all incoming and outgoing transactions involving the Butterfly
Trust money market account.

• Timeline of Active/Capitalized Accounts: Supplemental Exhibit D
provides a timeline of the openings and closings of Epstein's capitalized
Wealth Management accounts.

• Payments to Certain Beneficiaries of the 2013 Butterfly
Trust: Supplemental Exhibit E identifies payments to or on behalf of
certain beneficiaries of the 2013 Butterfly Trust, as well as their family
members. The Bank did not open an account for this entity, but received
trust documents in the course of its due diligence on a separate Epstein-
settled trust, "The 2017 Caterpillar Trust." The Bank previously briefed the
SDNY on payments to the majority of the beneficiaries of the 2013
Butterfly Trust, with the exceptions being [Redacted], [Redacted], and [Redacted]. Supplemental Exhibit E contains
this additional information.

The decryption password for the production will be provided by separate email. As we
have discussed, we continue to collect relevant information related to the Subpoena, and expect to
make additional productions shortly.
