BaFin (Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority) appears exclusively in regulatory disclaimers on Bank of America Merrill Lynch research reports, indicating that the Frankfurt branch is regulated by BaFin—standard compliance language with no connection to Epstein.
All 15 mentions are identical boilerplate text stating 'Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited, Frankfurt Branch (BAMLI Frankfurt) distributes this report in Germany and is regulated by BaFin.' These appear in the regulatory disclosures section of financial research reports covering topics like investment strategy, earnings previews, and quantitative analysis. One additional mention appears in a fund prospectus noting that the fund 'has been notified to BaFin for marketing' in Germany. None of these mentions relate to Epstein—they are standard regulatory compliance statements required on financial documents distributed in Germany.
Key Highlights
- •All mentions are regulatory boilerplate in Merrill Lynch research reports
- •No substantive connection to Epstein—BaFin appears because German law requires financial institutions to disclose their regulatory authority
- •Documents containing BaFin mentions cover mainstream financial topics (earnings, strategy, quantitative analysis) unrelated to Epstein's activities
