of donald trump scandals. but donald trump is also turning out to be its own never-entering font of scandals and failure itself, just like this most famous client. i mean, deutsche bank is in the middle of so much trump stuff, but they are a piece of work themselves, particularly right now. just this past week the securities and exchange commission filed this document pursuant to a multimillion dollar settlement agreement with deutsche bank after the which means they were bribing people. quote, between at least 2006 and 2014, deutsche bank provided valuable employment to the relatives of foreign government officials in various parts of the world as a personal benefit to the officials in order to improperly influence them to assist the bank in obtaining or retaining business or other benefits. so they re giving jobs to people s relatives so that those people will give business to deutsche bank, and those people were government officials from other countries.
when comes to particularly vile and grisly high-dollar american scandals, this times it seems you re likely to find a deutsche bank connection there. naturally, of course, their is a deutsche bank connection to the jeffrey epstein catastrophe. quote, as deutsche bank officials scrambled to extricate themselves from a years-long relationship with jeffrey epstein, the wealthy financier charged this month with sex trafficking, they uncovered suspicious transactions in which epstein had moved money out of the united states. who has been a client of its private banking division since at least 2013, years after his conduct became public in a prostitution case involving a teenage girl. at least one other bank dropped mr. epstein as a client in the years after his guilty plea, but not deutsche bank. quote, at least as of late spring, late spring this year, there were still transactions taking place on some of epstein s deutsche bank accounts.
