Seized financial records inside the DOJ's Epstein archive show **Ghislaine Maxwell** holding a **$128 million portfolio** at Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management — routed through a Virgin Islands shell entity — while federal investigators were closing in on her and Epstein's network.
The records, drawn from Volume 10 of the Epstein Financial Trust Archive (EFTA), are stamped SDNY_GM — the Southern District of New York's Ghislaine Maxwell case file.
They reveal a layered financial structure: three personal UBS accounts totaling nearly $5 million, and a separate Deutsche Bank account of more than $128 million held under Southern Financial LLC, registered at 6100 Red Hook Quarter, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.

The Deutsche Bank Account
A December 2014 Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management statement (EFTA document vol00010-efta01288520-pdf) shows Southern Financial LLC's portfolio valued at $128,056,222.31 at the start of the period, closing December 31, 2014 at $126,714,293.02.
The account was managed by client advisor Daniel Sabba at Deutsche Bank Securities, 345 Park Avenue, 26th Floor, New York. The portfolio held:
USD Equities: $54,126,544 USD Fixed Income: $18,177,455 USD Cash and Bank Deposits: $44,273,984
Southern Financial LLC's registered address — 6100 Red Hook Quarter B3, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands — places the entity within the same island jurisdiction where Jeffrey Epstein maintained his Little Saint James compound.
Three UBS Accounts in Maxwell's Name
Separate from the Deutsche Bank portfolio, three personal UBS Resource Management accounts held in Maxwell's name appear in the archive. All three are managed by advisors Scott Stackman and Lyle Casriel at UBS Financial Services, 299 Park Avenue, New York.
A February 2014 statement (EFTA document vol00010-efta01273308-pdf) shows one account closing the month at $1,981,915. A second account (EFTA document vol00010-efta01274387-pdf) closed February 2014 at $1,806,597. A third (EFTA document vol00010-efta01274073-pdf) closed the same month at $1,033,286.
By April 2014, a consolidated UBS statement (EFTA document vol00010-efta01274941-pdf) shows a single account — also managed by Stackman and Casriel — valued at $4,800,158. The statement lists Maxwell's home address as 116 East 65th Street, New York, NY 10065.
The Deutsche Bank Connection
Deutsche Bank's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has already been the subject of federal enforcement. In 2020, Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $150 million to New York regulators for compliance failures related to Epstein's accounts — a settlement that specifically cited the bank's failure to flag wire transfers connected to Epstein's network.
The Maxwell-linked Southern Financial LLC account at Deutsche Bank, valued at $128 million and held through a Virgin Islands entity, surfaces separately within the same EFTA archive — filed under the SDNY's Ghislaine Maxwell case materials and marked confidential pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e).
An October 2015 UBS statement (EFTA document vol00010-efta01274717-pdf) shows Maxwell's personal UBS account valued at $1,214,522 as of October 30, 2015 — with year-to-date net deposits of $287,579 and the same 65th Street address. By this point, Maxwell had been publicly named as a subject of interest in multiple civil depositions.
What the Records Show
The EFTA archive holds financial records for multiple individuals in Epstein's orbit. Lesley Groff appears across 62,331 documents. Bella Klein across 9,377.
The Maxwell records in Volume 10 add a distinct layer: not contact logs or emails, but bank statements — specific account numbers, portfolio balances, and advisor names — seized from Epstein's financial operations and filed under the SDNY's Maxwell case.
Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 on five counts including sex trafficking of minors. She is serving a 20-year federal sentence. The financial records in the archive document the years between Epstein's 2008 Florida conviction and his 2019 federal arrest.
