Individual referenced in CBP FOIA documents related to Epstein
Kati Forsythe (born Kati Wanek) is a member of the billionaire Wanek family behind Ashley Furniture Industries. She appears extensively in Deutsche Bank private banking reports where her family's trust accounts — including the "Kati Forsythe 2014 GRAT" holding millions of dollars — are listed alongside Jeffrey Epstein's Southern Trust Company and other Epstein-linked entities.
Forsythe's name appears across hundreds of Deutsche Bank financial statements and transaction reports (sent via [email protected]) that simultaneously track Epstein-controlled entities like Southern Trust Company and Wanek family vehicles including the Kati Forsythe 2014 GRAT, Shari Wagner 2014 GRAT, Wanek Trust of 2000, and various LLCs (KWF 2007 LLC, CRW 2007 LLC, GEW 2007 LLC). The GRAT accounts show deposits and balances ranging from $249,900 to $5,187,723, and appear on the same reports as Southern Trust Company balances exceeding $40 million. These are banking records from Deutsche Bank's Private Banking and Reporting Division, which was later fined $150 million for its failure to properly monitor Epstein's accounts.
Key Highlights
- •The Kati Forsythe 2014 GRAT held balances up to $5.19 million at Deutsche Bank, appearing on the same account reports as Epstein's Southern Trust Company (which held $40M+)
- •The Wanek family trusts and Epstein's entities were co-clients of Deutsche Bank's Private Banking division — the same banking relationship that resulted in a $150 million regulatory fine
- •Kati Wanek-Forsythe serves as Secretary for Ashley Global Retail, LLC, and is part of the family of Ron Wanek, billionaire founder of Ashley Furniture Industries
- •The documents also reference 'KATI WANEK-FORSY' (truncated), confirming her maiden name connection to the Wanek family
- •Her sister Shari Wagner's matching 2014 GRAT and the broader Wanek Trust of 2000 appear in identical banking reports, indicating this was a family-wide banking relationship
