Nina Tona was a Deutsche Bank Associate and Business Control Manager in the Key Client Partners (KCP) Americas division, based in Jacksonville, Florida, who appears extensively in internal Deutsche Bank compliance emails related to KYC (Know Your Customer) reviews and client account management during 2018-2019 — the period when the bank was reviewing and ultimately closing Jeffrey Epstein-linked accounts.
Tona appears in two distinct categories of Deutsche Bank internal documents. In 2018, she is deeply involved in KCP compliance operations — tracking KYC action plans, processing client onboarding documentation, and coordinating with colleagues like Xavier Avila, Davide Sferrazza, and Martin Zeman on cases involving entities such as Southern Financial LLC, MSD Capital L.P., AB Centaurus Capital LP, and West Family Investments. In June 2019, she appears in weekly case management emails alongside Jamaal Bushara, Ellenoi Jarvis, and others, discussing client status changes and account reviews. These emails coincide with the period just before Epstein's July 2019 arrest, when Deutsche Bank was actively closing Epstein-linked accounts after announcing the relationship's termination in late 2018. One document explicitly references her deciding which clients the bank 'no longer want[s] to retain.'

- •Active in June 2019 weekly case review emails just weeks before Epstein's arrest, including discussions about changing client statuses and deciding which clients the bank would no longer retain
- •Deutsche Bank was later fined $150 million by New York regulators for compliance failures related to its Epstein relationship, specifically for inadequate KYC monitoring of over 40 Epstein-linked accounts
- •Worked closely with a consistent team including Xavier Avila, Davide Sferrazza, Martin Zeman, Jamaal Bushara, and Ellenoi Jarvis on client compliance matters
