An FBI email from March 2020 requesting a 'Keep Open Letter' from USAA bank for accounts held by Ghislaine Maxwell (under alias 'Ghislaine Borgerson') and Scott Borgerson, sent by an FBI Special Agent from the VCAC/Human Trafficking unit in New York.

This document reveals internal FBI coordination to preserve bank accounts belonging to Ghislaine Maxwell and her then-husband Scott Borgerson at USAA bank in early March 2020, approximately four months before Maxwell's arrest. The email chain involves FBI Special Agent communications with USAA's Investigations and Compliance department in Tampa, Florida, requesting account preservation letters. Notably, Maxwell is identified using the alias 'Ghislaine Borgerson,' confirming her secret marriage to Scott Borgerson. The document includes sensitive personal identifiers (DOBs, SSNs, account numbers) which have been redacted, and originates from the FBI's Violent Crimes Against Children/Human Trafficking unit - the team that would later arrest Maxwell in July 2020.
