The Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB) is Taiwan's financial regulatory agency that oversees securities firms. It appears in the Epstein documents solely as a regulatory disclosure in Merrill Lynch financial reports.
All 14 mentions of the Securities and Futures Bureau appear in identical boilerplate regulatory disclosures within Merrill Lynch investment strategy reports and financial documents. The standard text reads: 'Merrill Lynch (Taiwan): Merrill Lynch Securities (Taiwan) Ltd., regulated by the Securities and Futures Bureau.' These are standard compliance disclosures listing regulatory authorities for Merrill Lynch's international operations, alongside similar mentions of regulators in South Korea, India, Indonesia, and other countries. The SFB has no substantive connection to Jeffrey Epstein or the investigation.
