Michelle,
As discussed, the initial inflow of $10mm came from BV70 to Gratitude
America in 2015. Gratitude America was set up as a foundation and received
a contribution from one of Epstein's business relationships. They filed tax
forms (attached) publicly to disclose the contribution.
We closed the Gratitude America accounts as part of our relationship exit
(letter attached). Looks like Epstein used the Plan D account to return the
contribution last year to the same BV70 entity.
BV70 was set up by a US person for the purpose of managing some tax matters,
including this contribution to the foundation. Given the public nature of
the tax filing, the entity was used to protect the identity of the person
making the donation. If necessary, I can share that info with you.
Thanks,
Stew
