Who is Nicole Perskawiec in the Epstein files?

Perskawiec was a Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas employee at the bank's 345 Park Avenue branch. Their signature blocks show an Assistant Branch Manager title in 2016 and an Associate title in 2019. The files show them handling day-to-day service for accounts tied to Jeffrey Epstein: cash withdrawals, check cashings, euro purchases and wire references. They also raised some of these transactions with the bank's compliance staff.

What did Perskawiec do about Epstein's cash transactions?

In a June 23, 2017 email titled 'Jeffrey Epstein Transactions [SC]', Perskawiec wrote to the AML compliance inquiries mailbox, copying colleagues. A colleague in the same chain says three consecutive days of cash withdrawals totaled over $22,000 with no CTR (currency transaction report) filed. In July 2016 Perskawiec's emails recorded that Darren Indyke cashed a $4,000 check, and a later email says he declined to cash a personal check 'to avoid the reporting'. The documents show Perskawiec documenting and escalating these transactions. They do not show Perskawiec doing anything improper.

Did Perskawiec have a personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?

The documents do not show one. Perskawiec appears only as a bank employee writing to colleagues about Epstein's accounts. The files include no flight logs, personal correspondence with Epstein or social contact. Where Epstein is named, it is as the account holder, and most of the people dealing with the bank are staff such as Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn's colleagues, not Epstein himself.

Why do Perskawiec's documents carry grand jury and SDNY markings?

Many of the files carry stamps such as 'CONFIDENTIAL - PURSUANT TO FED. R. CRIM. P. 6(e)' and Bates numbers beginning DB-SDNY or SDNY_GM. These show the emails were produced by Deutsche Bank to federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York as part of the Epstein investigation. A bank employee's name on such documents reflects the records the bank turned over. It does not by itself imply wrongdoing by that employee.

Watch: Nicole Perskawiec in the Epstein files

1:16

Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.

Nicole Perskawiec was a Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas employee at the 345 Park Avenue branch in New York. The documents show them handling Jeffrey Epstein-related cash withdrawals, check cashings and foreign-currency purchases from 2016 to 2019, and escalating concerns about those transactions to the bank's compliance staff.

Perskawiec appears as the author or recipient of branch-level bank emails about Epstein accounts and about Darren Indyke, who transacted on Epstein's behalf. Of the 184 documents that mention them, 168 are emails. About half (91) list them in the From/To/Cc header, and the other 16 are Investment Records, which are mostly the same email chains in other forms. In 2016 signature blocks they hold an Assistant Branch Manager title. A 2019 signature block lists them as an Associate in Deutsche Bank Wealth Management. Many files carry grand-jury and SDNY production stamps ('CONFIDENTIAL - PURSUANT TO FED. R. CRIM. P. 6(e)'). Everything in the files is routine bank work and an internal escalation; the documents do not show Perskawiec socializing or traveling with Epstein.

Key Highlights

•On June 23, 2017, Perskawiec emailed Deutsche Bank's AML compliance inquiries address under the subject 'Jeffrey Epstein Transactions [SC]', copying other bank staff and the branch mailbox. In the same chain, a colleague (signing as Cherie) writes that they 'need to file another and raise this issue, 3 consecutive days of cash withdrawals totaling over $22K an no CTR filed.' That remark is the colleague's, not Perskawiec's.
•In a July 21, 2016 email chain titled 'Darren Indyke', Perskawiec tells colleagues that Indyke cashed a $4,000 check for his account and said it was going to his 'cash box'. Another message in the chain says he was going over his cashing limit and came in on 7/21/16 to cash a $4,000 check instead.
•In later emails signed by Perskawiec, 'Darren has opted out from cashing his personal [check] to avoid the reporting.' This describes a customer's choice about a cash-reporting threshold, as relayed by Perskawiec.
•Perskawiec sent a series of tracking emails listing euro purchases for Epstein's account, typically about €6,400–€6,600 (roughly $7,500 each) between 2017 and March 2019. One entry notes a check picked up by Darren Indyke on 6/21/17.
•In January 2018 Perskawiec replied 'on behalf of TheBranch Staff' in an email thread titled 'Epstein Large Withdrawal', with Stewart Oldfield copied. In January 2019 a colleague tells Perskawiec and others in a thread on the Epstein account that a card's daily limit is $12,000, leaving $3,000 for the day.
•In March 2019, Perskawiec was copied on emails with Bella Klein, Firdaus Madiar, Bradley Gillin and Brigid Macias about finding the Fedwire reference for a wire from an account ending 9295.
•Perskawiec's most frequent co-appearances are Martha Stewart (89 shared documents), Stewart Oldfield (83), Bradley Gillin (83) and Firdaus Madiar (76). Jeffrey Epstein shares 77 documents with them. The Martha Stewart overlap presumably comes from other documents that mention both of them, not from a personal connection.
