On March 18, 2019, a Deutsche Bank banker named Stewart Oldfield signed a letter addressed to Bank Leumi in Tel Aviv. It said Southern Trust "has been an account holder at Deutsche Bank since 2013 and we are not aware of any problems relating to the operation or use of its accounts."
Southern Trust was Jeffrey Epstein's company. His lawyer, Darren Indyke, asked for the letter. Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019, less than four months later.
Sen. Ron Wyden said Monday that if "three Wall Street banks" had followed the law, "we could have stopped Epstein cold." Democrats are vowing to probe JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America once they take their majorities in January, The Hill reported Wednesday. No subpoena has been issued.
The list has three names. The Epstein files add at least five, and the first bank on the list answers for three more.
