JPMorgan flagged; 4,725 wire transfers cited | DE NEGATIVE 2026-09-08 (Session 79 phone sweep): an EXACT quoted DE name search for "Financial Trust Company" returns NO RECORDS FOUND. So there is no Delaware entity under that exact name — the register's DE attribution here is unsupported. Combined with the USVI sweep (only FINANCIAL TRUSTEES, LLC 553510 surfaced, NOT Financial Trust Company), the entity is absent from BOTH online indexes. Consistent with Epstein's Financial Trust Company being the historically USVI-domiciled personal holding company (moved to the VI ~1996 for the EDC tax benefit), dissolved/renamed before the post-2019 VI electronic registry — i.e., the pre-2019 VI coverage gap, not nonexistence. It is real and documented (named GP of the verified FAMILY INTERESTS, L.P.; VIEDC beneficiary). Cross-ref the VI row [[FINANCIAL TRUST COMPANY, INC. (VI)]]. Likely the two rows are one entity mis-split DE/VI — flagged to consolidate, not merged yet. Stays verified=NO (registry-unlocated online). | USAO-SDFL PRIMARY SOURCE (added 2026-09-10): named on the U.S. Attorney's own 'list of the entities related to Jeffrey Epstein' in an Aug 27, 2007 letter in the federal grand-jury financial file, Case 08-80736-CV-MARRA (S.D. Fla.), Bates EFTA00227406. Government primary document corroborating the entity's Epstein association. | LITIGATION (expanded 2026-09-10): Plaintiff, with Jeffrey E. Epstein, in Financial Trust Company, Inc. v. Citibank, N.A. and Citigroup, Inc., Civ. No. 2002-108, 268 F. Supp. 2d 561 (D.V.I. June 19, 2003) (Moore, J.); 'FOR PUBLICATION' memorandum opinion also in the production at Bates EFTA00228100-00228105. FTC/Epstein alleged Citibank - Epstein's private bank of ~15 years, via VP Dsyle Davison (New York) - fraudulently induced two $10 million loans ($20 million total: the Aug 2, 1999 '1999 Note' and a June 15, 2000 second note) to invest through Salomon Smith Barney in an AIG Global Investment Corp. collateralized bond obligation and a Mass Mutual-managed fund, and concealed SSB's investment-banking conflict with AIG (Chase Manhattan was fund trustee; AIG held 28% of the income notes). Court retained jurisdiction in the Virgin Islands (transfer to New York denied), sustained the breach-of-fiduciary-duty and negligent-misrepresentation claims under V.I. law, and dismissed the fraud counts under Rule 9(b) with leave to amend. Citibank countersued for default on both notes in S.D.N.Y. (Citibank, N.A. v. Epstein, No. 02-CV-5332-SHS). Reported federal opinion; primary source, non-victim.
