John — I agree and will have the banker update the Hyperion Air KYC to document the cash withdrawals and flag as high risk.

This is a better fact pattern than I thought. JE and I spoke about his pattern of cash withdrawals. His answer was “fuel payments in foreign countries”. Some of the countries were OFAC listed. Sounds like I still need to speak with him, however I did ask him to withdraw this cash from his aviation account for these payments. Clearly he is doing this. Perhaps the best next step is for us to speak with Harry, who we know, and ask Harry about the cash withdrawals. Agree? Concerns?

John —

I conducted a deeper dive last night. The original cash report I ran was off of Jeffrey Epstein’s SSN. Previously cash was taken from his personal accounts, which was why I only got the 2/21 hit. That CTR was filed under his SSN. The rest of the cash has been filed under one of Jeffrey Epstein’s non-individual entities TIN, Hyperion Air Inc., or in one instance on the SSN of Harry Beller who is an authorized signer on the Hyperion Air Inc. account.

All of the cash is being taken from the account associated with “Hyperion Air Inc.”. Per the DDR Hyperion Air is an entity that holds Jeffrey Epstein’s personal airplane. I looked at all other checks written against the account and they appear to be legitimately related to fees etc. associated to an aircraft.

In summary checks were written for “cash” on the following days out of the Hyperion Air Inc. account. Typically $100k is transferred into the account from Jeffrey Epstein’s personal DDA 1 or 2 days prior to checks written for cash. All of the checks are signed and cashed by Harry Beller:

8/5/11 - $40k 10/6/11 - $30k 12/13/11 - $30k 2/21/2012 - $30k 3/19/12 - $30k

Regards,

Bonnie
