What is document EFTA00029172?

This is an internal FBI/DOJ email chain from October 2021 between law enforcement and banking compliance personnel regarding the exchange of Jeffrey Epstein's account documentation. The emails document the transfer of account records through the DOJ USA File Exchange system.

Who is mentioned in this document?

The document mentions Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, and several Epstein-controlled entities including Hyperion Air (which held Epstein's personal airplane), NES LLC (a Delaware LLC solely owned by Epstein), and JEGE accounts. The names of the FBI agents and banking compliance staff are redacted.

What does this document reveal?

The document reveals that banking records included memos requesting Ghislaine Maxwell's removal as an authorized signer from multiple Epstein-controlled accounts. This shows Maxwell had signatory authority on Epstein's financial accounts—consistent with court findings that Epstein paid Maxwell at least $25 million, including a suspicious $19 million payment. The FBI's interest in account statements and balances after these removal documents suggests investigators were tracing the financial relationship between Epstein and Maxwell.

What is Hyperion Air?

According to court documents, Hyperion Air was an entity that held Jeffrey Epstein's personal airplane. A 2009 due diligence report confirmed the entity was 100% owned by Epstein. Maxwell having signatory authority on this account gave her control over funds related to Epstein's aviation operations.

NES LLC was a Delaware limited liability company where Jeffrey Epstein was the sole member and only fully authorized signer, according to a 2003 JPMorgan internal email. Maxwell later sued NES LLC seeking indemnification for her legal expenses related to her criminal case.
