Charles Schwab Processed Epstein's Morocco Palace Wires

Documents released by the United States===United States Department of Justice reveal that Charles Schwab Corporation processed approximately $27.7 million in wire transfers for Jeffrey Epstein to a realtor in Morocco in the days leading up to his 2019 arrest. These transactions were part of Epstein's attempt to purchase the Bin Ennakhil palace in Marrakesh. Notably, one transfer of $14.95 million was initiated from an account that lacked sufficient funds at the time. Charles Schwab Corporation opened three accounts for Epstein's companies in April 2019, including Southern Trust, which was involved in the palace purchase. Richard Kahn, Epstein's accountant, was listed as an authorized individual. Charles Schwab Corporation later filed a suspicious activity report (SAR) with the United States===Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) on July 13, 2019, citing concerns about the real estate wires and Epstein being a potential flight risk. The company stated it began investigating the accounts shortly after opening them and decided to close the relationship within 60 days, referring the matter to federal law enforcement. The deal for the palace ultimately fell through, and the property was sold to another buyer. Richard Kahn has been ordered to testify before Congress regarding his management of Epstein's financial affairs.
