Deutsche Bank reportedly flagged Jeffrey Epstein's overseas transactions to US watchdog

Deutsche Bank notified U.S. financial watchdogs about suspicious transactions by accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — a customer of the bank — according to a new report Tuesday.

The transactions, which involved Epstein moving money out of the United States, were flagged after Deutsche Bank discovered them while looking for indications that the wealthy financier was using his money for sex trafficking, The New York Times reported.

Epstein had been a client of Deutsche Bank’s private banking division since at least 2013, five years after he pleaded guilty to prostitution-related charges involving a teenage girl filed by Florida state prosecutors, the Times noted.

That guilty plea led to Epstein — a former friend of Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton — being required to register as a sex offender.

5. Bank watchdogs!!

Weren't they all appointed by trump because Obama had put in new ones with regulations, all of which trump abolished, because you know, the black guy? And THEY were warned about trump and Epstien sex trafficking cash? Of course they were going to report that!

2. I'm thinking his sex trafficking went beyond personal use

It's being portrayed as a personal habit but with all the international infrastructure and money involved, it seems like he must have been doing this for profit for other people as well.

6. My my my. It looks like only the best people choose Deutschbank.

I wonder why...

8. This is the private banking division, not the

regular banking division. It's the same one that handled Trump's financial dealings.

9. Deutschbank was also heavily involved in the subprime mortgage debacle of the Bush era.

I just think the whole institution is sleazy as hell.
