The Lebanese authorities apparently didn’t know that Manoli was the true owner of the Rhosus. In any case, his name doesn’t appear in any of the correspondence, which was voluminous.

Deutsche Bank signed a consent order with the NY Department of Financial Services, agreeing to pay a 150m$ fine, and, as you'd expect, it's a fascinating read. It deals with #Epstein, #Cypriot bank #FBME and #Danske Bank's AML issues in Estonia. A few snippets.
First, Epstein. It's a disgusting read, tbh, where 1 can imagine what's going on behind the scenes (all after Epstein came out of jail.) "Tuition fees" paid to young (adult) women, 800k$ of cash withdrawn, lawyers asking how to withdraw cash wo creating alerts, etc.
trusts being created to continue paying Epstein's co-conspirators from his previous convictions (yes, it does read like a Breaking Bad episode) - wtf was is still paying them, that's what I'd like to know.
