Who is Daniel Sabba in the Epstein files?

Daniel Sabba was a Director at Deutsche Bank who was assigned as Jeffrey Epstein's primary capital markets banker. He was formally introduced to Epstein in October 2014 as the new head of Deutsche Bank's Key Client Partners Capital Markets division in the US, specifically tasked with covering Epstein 'directly for all of his activities.' The Epstein documents contain extensive correspondence between Sabba and Epstein spanning 2014-2015, including commodities trading reports, trade ideas, and scheduling for in-person meetings at Epstein's Manhattan residence.

What was Daniel Sabba's role at Deutsche Bank?

Sabba served as head of Deutsche Bank Key Client Partners Capital Markets in the US, a role focused on serving the bank's most important hedge fund and family office clients. In that capacity, he was assigned to cover Jeffrey Epstein directly, sending him daily commodities market reports, forwarding trade ideas, and meeting with him regularly at his 9 East 71st Street residence. He worked alongside colleagues including Paul Morris, Richard Kahn, and Vahe Stepanian, all of whom also appear frequently in Epstein-related documents. Sabba is originally from Brazil, attended Cornell University, and previously worked at Lehman Brothers and Bank of America Merrill Lynch before joining Deutsche Bank.

How often did Daniel Sabba communicate with Jeffrey Epstein?

The documents show frequent and sustained communication throughout 2014-2015. Sabba sent Epstein end-of-day commodities trading notes, forwarded market analysis and news articles, and coordinated multiple in-person meetings through Epstein's longtime assistant Lesley Groff. The meetings took place at Epstein's Manhattan home at 9 East 71st Street, with scheduling emails showing regular visits including one confirmed for 2 PM and another at 4:30 PM on separate occasions. Sabba appears in approximately 1,786 documents, though many reflect routine market reports sent as part of his banking coverage duties.

What is Daniel Sabba's connection to Deutsche Bank's relationship with Epstein?

Sabba was part of Deutsche Bank's institutional team that managed the Epstein account during a period now widely scrutinized. Deutsche Bank maintained a banking relationship with Epstein that later resulted in a $150 million settlement with New York regulators in 2020 for compliance failures. Sabba's role as the assigned Key Client Partners banker meant he was the point person for Epstein's capital markets needs. His frequent colleagues in the Epstein files — Paul Morris, Richard Kahn, Vahe Stepanian, and Ariane de Rothschild — suggest a significant team was dedicated to the Epstein account.

Daniel Sabba was a Director at Deutsche Bank who served as Jeffrey Epstein's primary capital markets coverage banker, regularly sending him commodities trading notes and scheduling in-person meetings at Epstein's 9 East 71st Street residence throughout 2014-2015.

Sabba appears extensively in direct professional correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein and his assistant Lesley Groff, sending end-of-day commodities reports, scheduling meetings at Epstein's Manhattan home, and coordinating through Epstein's inner circle including Richard Kahn and Vahe Stepanian. He was formally introduced to Epstein in October 2014 as Deutsche Bank's new head of Key Client Partners Capital Markets in the US, assigned to cover Epstein directly for all capital markets activities. The emails show a sustained banker-client relationship with frequent in-person meetings at Epstein's 71st Street residence, trade ideas, and market commentary continuing through at least September 2015. Many of his 1,786 document appearances likely reflect the high volume of routine commodities and market reports forwarded to Epstein as part of this coverage role.
