Podcasts about Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank. Wells Fargo. Both global systemically important banks are sitting here watching their stocks get pounded in the same way as BlackRock or Blackstone. Thankfully, not as bad as Blue Owl. Yet. And it is for the same reason. We know the private credit industry and shadow banks are in really bad shape. Markets are already looking outside of them to who might be next to have pay for really bad decisions. Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van Metre----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Join us for our free webinar Thursday March 26, 2026 at 6pm ET.

Jeffrey Epstein's death inside a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 ignited a chain of suspicion that has never faded, morphing into a narrative where suicide is never just suicide. From Epstein himself to Jean-Luc Brunel in Paris, to former White House aide Mark Middleton in Arkansas, to Deutsche Bank executives and even Ghislaine Maxwell's father decades earlier, each sudden death has been folded into a larger pattern. Official rulings of suicide or accident are met with disbelief, because the timing always feels too convenient, the circumstances too strange, and the institutions overseeing these figures too compromised.Together, these deaths form more than a morbid list—they've become symbols of systemic failure. Each one robs survivors of testimony, erases potential evidence, and reinforces the belief that the powerful never face full accountability. Whether by incompetence, coincidence, or conspiracy, the effect is the same: witnesses vanish, truth is buried, and public trust corrodes. In the shadow of Epstein, bizarre suicides are no longer personal tragedies—they are the story itself, a grim reminder that justice often dies before it can be delivered.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode, Lex chats with Alex Gluchowski — Cofounder and CEO of Matter Labs, about the transformative impact of zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) on blockchain scalability and privacy. They discuss Matter Labs' evolution, the development of zkSync, and how ZK proofs enable secure, private, and efficient blockchain transactions. The conversation explores enterprise adoption, regulatory shifts, and the potential for blockchain to revolutionize global finance by enabling privacy-preserving, interoperable networks anchored to Ethereum, ultimately highlighting the growing role of cryptography in advancing financial sovereignty and innovation. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: Incorruptibility is Blockchain's Core Value—Not Consensus: Consensus mechanisms solve network liveness without central operators, but the guarantee that your assets can't be spent without your permission comes from verification. Bitcoin's “don't trust, verify” mantra is literal: every node re-executes every transaction. Zero knowledge proofs achieve the same incorruptibility without requiring universal visibility—enabling both scale and privacy. The Regulatory Shift Has Unlocked an Entirely New Market: The post-Trump regulatory environment represents a “great divide” for crypto. Banks and enterprises that previously couldn't engage are now actively piloting blockchain infrastructure. Matter Labs is working with Deutsche Bank, UBS, and 35+ global financial institutions through initiatives like Presidio Breakthrough. The focus has shifted from building systems to withstand regulatory hostility to integrating crypto into real business processes. Private Enterprise Chains Settling on Ethereum is the Institutional Path: Banks experimented with consortium blockchains (Hyperledger, Corda, R3) for years but failed due to privacy concerns—participants could see each other's transactions. Zero knowledge proofs solve this by enabling private chains that interoperate trustlessly through Ethereum as a shared settlement layer. Each institution maintains sovereignty over its operations while gaining cryptographic guarantees when transacting with counterparties.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-hosts Telis Demos and Miriam Gottfried discuss why a surge in oil prices following U.S. strikes on Iran is fueling fresh inflation fears, and how the potential for a supply shock at the Strait of Hormuz could tie the Federal Reserve's hands on interest-rate cuts. Next, our hosts analyze why we see some investors rotating back into enterprise software stocks such as Oracle and Adobe, both of which will report earnings in the coming week.  After the break, Marion Laboure, senior strategist and managing director at Deutsche Bank, joins the show to explain why bitcoin and gold are no longer correlated. She breaks down the wishful thinking that drove crypto valuations, explains why she views bitcoin less as a currency and more as an asset, and discusses how investors are viewing digital assets like bitcoin and stablecoins as part of an investment portfolio. Plus, how a new section in the proposed Clarity Act has banks and crypto exchanges debating over stablecoin yields… or “rewards. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, and Miriam Gottfried, WSJ's investing and wealth management reporter, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

¿Sabías que BMW estuvo a punto de convertirse en una simple fábrica de piezas para Mercedes-Benz? A finales de los años 50, la marca de Múnich estaba herida de muerte, al borde de la quiebra técnica y con una oferta de absorción sobre la mesa que habría borrado sus siglas de la historia para siempre. En el vídeo de hoy, analizamos la asombrosa historia de la "Junta de los Cuchillos Largos" de 1959: un relato de traiciones bancarias, balances manipulados, orgullo bávaro y un rescate heroico en el último minuto. Dos mundos tras la ceniza (1945-1955) Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el contraste entre los dos gigantes alemanes era brutal. Mientras Mercedes-Benz se recuperaba con rapidez, ganando en la Fórmula 1 y lanzando el mítico 300 SL, BMW era una sombra de lo que fue. Su fábrica principal en Eisenach quedó en zona soviética (fabricando los "BMW rusos" o EMW) y en Múnich solo quedaban ruinas. BMW sobrevivió fabricando cacerolas y bicicletas antes de poder volver a los coches, pero su estrategia inicial fue un desastre: coches de superlujo como el "Ángel Barroco" (501) que daban pérdidas por cada unidad vendida. La esquizofrenia industrial y la trampa del Deutsche Bank A mediados de los 50, BMW vivía una dualidad insostenible. Por un lado, berlinas de lujo inalcanzables y el precioso pero carísimo 507; por otro, el Isetta, un microcoche bajo licencia italiana que movilizó al país pero con márgenes de beneficio ridículos. No había un término medio. Para 1958, el Deutsche Bank decidió que BMW era un enfermo terminal. Hans Feith, ejecutivo del banco y presidente del Consejo de BMW (un conflicto de intereses flagrante), diseñó un plan para liquidar la empresa y vendérsela a su mejor cliente: Daimler-Benz. 9 de diciembre de 1959: La rebelión de los accionistas En una tensa Asamblea General en el Palacio de Congresos de Múnich, el destino de BMW se decidió en 12 horas de batalla dialéctica. La oferta de Mercedes era una sentencia de muerte: querían las instalaciones para montar carrocerías de la estrella; la marca BMW desaparecería en una década. Sin embargo, tres factores hicieron fracasar el plan: -Los hermanos Reuter: Abogados astutos que descubrieron que el balance estaba manipulado. El banco había cargado todos los costes de desarrollo del nuevo BMW 700 a las cuentas actuales para forzar la quiebra técnica. -El orgullo bávaro: Trabajadores y concesionarios se rebelaron, negándose a ver una estrella de tres puntas en sus fachadas. -Herbert Quandt: El inversor silencioso que, con el 30% de las acciones, iba a firmar la venta, pero al ver el fervor de los trabajadores y el potencial del prototipo del BMW 700, decidió arriesgar su fortuna personal y pedir un aplazamiento. El coche que "engañó" a la muerte Tras frenar la compra in extremis, Quandt tomó el control total. BMW activó un plan de emergencia basado en dos pilares: -BMW 700: Un coche con motor de moto pero estampa de coche real que fue un éxito de ventas instantáneo, llenando las arcas de la compañía. -La Nueva Clase (Neue Klasse): El dinero del 700 permitió terminar el BMW 1500 de 1961, el abuelo de todos los BMW modernos, con su motor inclinado y su enfoque deportivo. ¿Qué habría pasado si Mercedes compra BMW? Si los hermanos Reuter no hubieran detectado el fraude o si Quandt hubiera firmado aquel día, el mundo del automóvil sería hoy mucho más aburrido: -El fin de la berlina deportiva: Sin BMW, Mercedes no habría tenido un rival que le obligara a ser dinámica. Probablemente no existiría el concepto del M3 E30 ni los grandes duelos del DTM. Ingeniería perdida: El motor M10 o el concepto de "placer de conducir" serían solo notas a pie de página en un museo de Stuttgart. -BMW sería hoy una marca olvidada, como Borgward o NSU, absorbida para facilitar la producción del Mercedes W110. Conclusión La historia de BMW es una lección de resistencia. Nos enseña que la identidad de una marca reside en la voluntad de su gente. Gracias a que Mercedes no pudo comprar BMW, hoy existe una alternativa real a la sobriedad absoluta. La próxima vez que veas un BMW, recuerda que estuvo a solo unos minutos de ser una furgoneta Mercedes. ¿Te ha parecido interesante esta historia de "negocios y pistones"? ¿Crees que BMW sería hoy lo que es si no hubiera pasado por este borde del abismo? Cuéntamelo en los comentarios.

John Casmon interviews Ben Kanner, founder of Three V Infrastructure, about the growing intersection between EV charging and multifamily real estate. Ben shares his journey from subprime mortgages to Deutsche Bank portfolio management and eventually into renewable infrastructure, where he identified a major financing gap in EV charging for commercial properties. He explains why EV charging should be viewed primarily as an amenity rather than a direct NOI driver and how operators can use it to attract higher-income renters, increase rents, and reduce turnover. Ben breaks down EV adoption trends, noting that while U.S. penetration still trails global markets, adoption continues to rise—especially with more affordable EV models and a wave of used Teslas entering the market. For multifamily owners, the key isn't just installation, but proper underwriting based on EV registration data, demographic trends, and projected utilization. Three V Infrastructure offers a no-upfront-cost model where they fund, install, own, and manage the chargers, taking utilization risk and only profit-sharing after recouping their capital and a threshold return.

Vandaag bespreken we het boek Geld genoeg, maar niet voor jou van Thomas Bollen. De ondertitel is: Hoe heroveren we de macht over ons geld? Hij werkte korte tijd voor een aantal consultancy organisaties, maar is sinds 2016 werkzaam voor Follow the Money en schrijft daar over geld en woont in de Achterhoek :-) Hij sprak met Martin Wolf, werkte met Karlijn aan het waterwerk van ons geld met Carlijn Kingma en schrijft over de digitale euro. https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-bollen-028596b https://www.ftm.eu/author/thomas-bollen Het boek was voor mij waardevol en gaf veel inzicht in wat er in de financiële en geldwereld speelt. Via Heidi Leenaarts had ik al wat verhalen gehoord over de financiële wereld, dat banken geld creëren met een druk op de knop en 97% van het geld circuleert in de financiële wereld en maar 3% in de echte wereld. https://decideforimpact.com/show464-de-nieuwe-economie-in-de-praktijk-heidi-leenaarts/  In het boek wordt dit allemaal uitgelegd in begrijpelijke taal in gesprekken met verschillende mensen in deze wereld die er wel over durven te praten omdat hun baan/inkomen er niet meer vanaf hangt. Wat me opviel, is hoeveel geld er wordt verdiend in deze financiële wereld, zoals bij banken, maar altijd met een vangnet voor de burger. Als het misgaat, grijpt de overheid vaak in om ze te redden, waardoor de echt vermogenden zich verrijken ten koste van de rest van de burgers. Thomas gelooft in de toekomst van de digitale euro die door de centrale banken wordt uitgegeven en gecontroleerd. Dit zou aanzienlijk in de kosten besparen en de risico's verminderen. Maar de financiële wereld heeft een grote lobby-macht en stagneert dit proces. Je krijgt ook een inkijkje in de cryptowereld, waar ik een soort piramidespelgevoel aan heb overgehouden. Daarnaast heb ik een goed gevoel overgehouden aan de digitale euro. Belangrijke bevindingen van het boek zijn dat als je de (financiële) markten de vrije hand geeft, ze uiteindelijk altijd ervoor zorgen dat ze zelf meer verdienen en dat dit ten koste gaat van de burger. Zeker wanneer het geldstelsel geprivatiseerd is, zoals nu. Private banken creëren geld. Banken hebben duidelijke afspraken nodig om te voorkomen dat ze bij een bankrun de banken ten onder dreigen te gaan en dat de overheid dit telkens moet oplossen. Dus hogere ondergrens van hoeveel van het geld dat ze uitgeven ook zelf moeten hebben als onderpand. Het kritische punt is misschien dat het veel is en dat ik soms het overzicht verloor tijdens het lezen. Dit zie je ook terug in het register van namen die Bollen in het boek noemt, het zijn er veel. Voor iedere persoon die met geld werkt, is dit een belangrijk boek om te lezen. Je leert beslist dingen over geld en de financiële wereld die je nog niet wist. Hopelijk gaat dat helpen om deze wereld te transformeren. Als je, zoals ik, druk maakt over inkomen en vermogensongelijkheid, dan ontdek je dat het allemaal nog veel erger is dan je had gedacht. Het boek geeft me ook een wat mistroostig gevoel. Er verandert weinig. Het is een uitgebreid boek met 300 pagina's. De hoofdstukken zijn kort en goed afzonderlijk te lezen. We kregen het van Follow The Money. Dank daarvoor.  Actueel: artikel FD vandaag 5 feb 2026  ‘Verlaag de Europese kapitaaleisen, de banken hebben hun lesje heus wel geleerd' - Politici en toezichthouders in Europa begrijpen onvoldoende dat een sterke economie een sterke financiële sector nodig heeft, zegt president-commissaris Lorenzo Bini Smaghi van Société Générale. Na het lezen van dit boek kijk ik hier anders tegenaan. Inhoud Woord Vooraf Proloog: Wat rekeninghouders zelden weten In het ‘Fort Knox van Europa Wakker worden in The Truman Show De toren van Basel Wij zijn de 99 procent In de ban van schuld De vergeten wetenschap Buitenbeendjes in actie De saaiste bank van Nederland De grote doorbraak De Europese Doomsday Machine De ontdekking vaan digitaal centraalbankgeld Wat het licht niet verdraagt, woekert in de schaduw De bankiers van de cryptowereld Het antwoord is ‘nee' One coin to rule them all Karaktermoord Publiek geld naar private zakken Chantage door de tech-miljardairs ‘Zeg nee tegen CBDC' De radicale keuze Woord Vooraf De opening van het boek gaat gelijk in op de problematiek in de wereld, zoals inkomens- en vermogensongelijkheid, de concentratie van geld en macht en de afbraak van de democratie. Hierover hebben we al vaker gesproken. Maar wat Thomas dan doet, is de connectie leggen met het geldstelsel.  Dat hebben we nog niet eerder besproken, volgens mij. Hij noemt ook het grootste probleem hierin: de financiële geletterdheid die macht geeft en de financiële macht van de sector. Een van de machtigste en best georganiseerde lobby's ter wereld. De macht over ons geld is de afgelopen 40 jaar steeds meer in private handen gekomen. Proloog: Wat rekeninghouders zelden weten Met een aantal sterke voorbeelden in (extreme) situaties ontdek je ineens dat het geld dat op je bankrekening staat niet echt jouw geld is. Dat is het bedrag dat je van de bank tegoed hebt. De bankruns in crisissituaties laten zien dat banken en de overheid je de toegang tot jouw banktegoed kunnen begrenzen of opschorten. Het geld op jouw bankrekening ligt niet in de kluis van de bank. In het ‘Fort Knox van Europa De titel van dit hoofdstuk is wat misleidend. Dit hoofdstuk gaat vooral over wat er allemaal mis is met het geldstelsel Geld is nooit neutraal of natuurlijk. Ze is altijd onderdeel van een complex sociaaleconomisch systeem van schulen, verplichtingen en vertrouwen. Geld is onderdeel van de politieke economie en dus een politiek onderwerp. Publiek (contant) geld van de centrale bank vormt de basislaag van ons geld. Aan cashbetalingen verdient de bank niets. Centrale banken hebben nagelaten om publiek geld naar het digitale tijdperk te updaten. p22 Het verschil tussen privaat en publiek geld is belangrijk om te begrijpen. Het geld op je bankrekening is privaat geld. Het werd door een private bank gecreëerd. De transitie naar digitale banktegoeden (dus al jouw transacties met geld zonder dat er papiergeld aan te pas komt) is een overgang naar privatisering van ons geld en dat brengt risico's met zich mee. Zoals we de afgelopen jaren hebben ervaren. De risico's en kosten om het bancaire systeem overeind te houden worden grotendeels collectief gedragen (bij dreigend faillissement grijpt de overheid in bijv. ABN), terwijl de winsten onder de financiële instellingen en aandeelhouders worden verdeeld. Hoe groot private equity is geworden in 12 jaar: ze lijken alles op te kopen en dragen bij aan het feit dat diensten die we nodig hebben duurder worden en tegelijkertijd de kwaliteit van de diensten slechter wordt. Denk aan kinderdagverblijven, huurwoningen, verzorgingstehuizen, watervoorziening, tandartspraktijken. In private equity zitten mensen die al geld (veel) hebben en vooral bezig zijn om het rendement te vergroten; ze zijn niet geïnteresseerd in het product of dienst zelf. Als het maar rendement oplevert. De democratie dreigt te vervalen tot een dictatuur van het geld. Als afsluiting lees je over $TRUMP, de cryptomunt van Trump, waarmee vooral de familie Trump veel geld heeft verdient. En de macht van Thiel. Wolf: Willen we de democratie redden, dan moeten we het kapitaal repareren. Wakker worden in The Truman Show Uitleg over bankruns en het probleem dat banken veel minder publiek geld in kas hebben. De regels van het kapitalisme worden opzij gezet tijdens de bail-out door de overheid van private banken. Waarbij de mensen met het meeste vermogen als eerste hun geld terugkrijgen. p39 uitleg over rommelhypotheken - hoge afsluitkosten incasseren en het risico op toekomstige wanbetaling niet in je eigen balans opnemen. Sinds de crisis van 2008 staat de overheid garant voor 100.000 privébanktegoeden. Terwijl de banken worden ondersteund door de overheid, keren de managers en de aandeelhouders forse bedragen uit. Ingewikkeld hoofdstuk De toren van Basel p50 het inzicht van Greenspan tijdens de crisis Internationale bankregels Basel III - belangrijk onderdeel financiering met meer eigen vermogen (Basel II - 2%) - Ackerman, CEO Deutsche Bank, en voorzitter IIF wilden de eisen vooral afzwakken. Ze vonden dat zij er het meeste verstand van hadden en het beste de nieuwe regels konden opstellen. Politici vooral buiten de deur houden en burgers bang maken (tabakpropaganda). Eigen vermogen werd uiteindelijk verhoogd naar 3%. Dit betekent dat je als bank je balans met 97 schuld mag financieren. Het doel was een eigen vermogen van 20-30 procent. Anat Admati -  Dit hoofdstuk leest als achterkamertjespolitiek en strategietruc. Alles om ervoor te zorgen dat de macht bij de private banken blijft. Wij zijn de 99 procent De internationale geldhervormingsbeweging.  Kennismaking met De Waal. Hij wilde een eenvoudige methode om onderling te betalen met een link. De bank leent geen geld uit van andere spaarders op het moment dat ze iemand een hypotheek verstrekken; ze creëren daarvoor nieuw geld. Met een druk op de knop. p62 De vraag waarom zo'n belangrijke maatschappelijke functie niet in publieke handen is. Want het geld scheppen kun je doen voor zaken die goed voor de toekomst zijn en die slecht zijn (fossiele brandstoffen stimuleren, private equity). Het winstmotief van de bank gaat boven het publieke belang. p65 Graeber We are the  99 percent en zijn boek Debt. Het kan wel anders, geschiedenis met een ‘debt jubilee'. Koning of keizer die de mensen hun schulden kwijt schold en weer vrij waren. De Waal: het privilege om geld te schappen is misschien wel het machtigste instrument om een samenleving vorm te geven.

Gold markiert Rekorde, während Aktien unter Druck geraten – besonders Software-Werte, die zusätzlich durch KI‑Disruption und Finanzierungsfragen belastet sind. Der Nahostkonflikt, steigende Öl‑ und Gaspreise und die hohe Unsicherheit treiben die Märkte in den Risk‑off‑Modus. Wie sollten sich Anleger jetzt positionieren?

February 25, 2026: This week Anthropic — one of the companies most associated with responsible AI — gutted the safety commitment it made in 2023. The same week the Pentagon gave its CEO a Friday ultimatum: allow military use of your AI or lose a $200 million contract. Meanwhile Jamie Dimon went on record at a JPMorgan investor meeting and confirmed something most CEOs won't say out loud: AI is already displacing his workers, their redeployment infrastructure can't keep up with the pace of it, and society needs to start thinking seriously about what comes next. I also cover why Big Tech is paying up to $1.2 million for communications talent — and what that says about which human skills are becoming most valuable — plus Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank deploying AI to surveil their own traders in real time, and LinkedIn's 2026 Skills on the Rise report, which tracks which skills are actually converting to job offers. 

Bundeskanzler Merz reist vom 24. bis 27. Februar nach China. Mit dabei eine große Wirtschaftsdelegation mit vielen wichtigen CEOs von Adidas, Bayer, Henkel, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, der Commerzbank und vielen anderen Konzernen. Dahinter stecken natürlich viele Interessen - auch Rohstoffe spielen eine große Rolle. „Tendenziell bin ich ein Freund davon, dass man miteinander spricht statt beleidigte Leberwurst zu spielen. Gerade das Thema Rohstoffe ist ein enorm wichtiges Thema. Da hat China im letzten Jahr schon mal die Daumenschrauben gezeigt. Wir sind - das kann man nicht leugnen - in einem recht hohen Maße abhängig davon, dass wir aus China Rohstoffe wie seltene Erden importieren können. Deswegen ist diese Reise enorm wichtig", erklärt Michael Blumenroth im Rohstoff-Talk. Der Rohstoffanalyst der Deutschen Bank über den Gold- und Silberpreis nach dem großen Knall: „Wir hatten eine Beschleunigung Ende Januar gesehen, die völlig überzeichnet gewesen ist. Auch in Silber irrsinnig der Preis. Dann kam diese Korrektur. Die Problematik war gewesen, dass viele Händler nicht mit diesen hohen Preisen gerechnet hatten. Viele Optionen sind da in Schieflage geraten. Mittel- bis langfristig sehe ich für Gold Potenzial. Alles spricht weiterhin für den Goldpreis. Auf kurze Sicht könnten wir immer mal Rückschläge sehen. Wir haben unsere Prognose auf 6.000 Dollar je Unze bis Jahresende angehoben. Der Investment-Case für Gold ist da." Alle Details gibt es im Interview von Inside Wirtschaft-Chefredakteur Manuel Koch an der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://www.xetra-gold.com

Wer sich als interessierter Laie versucht, einen Überblick über die frei im Netz zugänglichen Dateien zum Fall des mehrfach verurteilten Sexualstraftätesr Jeffrey Epstein zu verschaffen, steht zunächst mal vor einem gigantischen Datenberg aus Millionen Einzeldateien: Dokumente mit Zeugenaussagen, Fotos, Videos – zu viel um sie alle zu sichten. Wie aber finden sich Profis in dem Datendschungel zurecht? Einer alleine könne das nicht bewältigen, sagt Investigativjournalistin Verena von Ondarza vom NDR im Gespräch mit SWR KULTUR: „Deswegen haben wir als Redaktion uns entschieden, die Daten komplett runterzuladen, um sie besser durchsuchbar zu machen“, um gezielt nach wirtschaftlichen Verbindungen zu recherchieren. Besonders brisant ist der rekonstruierte Versuch Epsteins, 2009 über Mittelsmänner seiner damaligen Hausbank JPMorgan Chase die angeschlagene Privatbank Saal Oppenheim zu übernehmen. Zudem war Epstein ab 2013 Kunde der Deutsche Bank – obwohl er zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits verurteilt war – eine Geschäftsbeziehung, die erst nach seiner erneuten Festnahme beendet wurde. Ein Fehler, wie die Deutsche Dank später bekannt gab. Dass sich die Sexualverbrechen Epsteins von seinen Finanzgeschäften trennen lassen, scheint ausgeschlossen: „Nein, also ich würde sagen, auf jeden Fall nicht“, sagt von Ondarza und verweist darauf, dass sein durch Kindesmissbrauch und Menschenhandel aufgebautes Netzwerk für Banken wie die Deutsche Bank offenbar als Türöffner in die Welt der Superreichen galt.

In July 2020, New York state regulators fined Deutsche Bank $150 million for its failure to properly monitor its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, along with other high-risk clients. The New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) determined that the bank ignored clear warning signs while maintaining Epstein as a client from 2013 to 2018, years after his 2008 sex-crime conviction. Regulators found that Deutsche Bank processed millions in suspicious transactions for Epstein, including payments to women with Eastern European surnames and large cash withdrawals that should have triggered scrutiny. The DFS concluded that the bank chose profit over compliance, prioritizing Epstein's business despite internal concerns that he posed legal and reputational risks.The fine was the first major enforcement action against a financial institution for its role in facilitating Epstein's activities. Regulators detailed how Deutsche Bank repeatedly failed to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) despite obvious red flags tied to Epstein's network of shell companies and payments structured to look like consulting or tuition expenses. The settlement required Deutsche Bank to improve oversight and compliance systems, but it also underscored a larger problem: financial institutions were essential enablers of Epstein's empire, allowing him to move money and maintain access to elite circles even after his conviction. The $150 million penalty was significant in size, yet critics argued it was still a slap on the wrist for a global bank that had enabled Epstein's financial maneuvering for years.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/07/jeffrey-epstein-case-deutsche-bank-fined-150-million-penalty-for-relationship.html

‘Europe, seize the moment!'  was the motto of this year's Frankfurt Digital Finance, which took place on 11 and 12 February. As a platform that connects Frankfurt with leading European ecosystems, it provided an ideal stage for our high-profile panel discussion on Open Finance. What exactly is the EU's Framework for Financial Data Access (FIDA) aiming to unlock? Where will future product and service value emerge? And what can the EU learn from other ecosystems already years ahead – such as Brazil, the UK or Singapore? To address these questions, we brought together outstanding voices from regulation, banking, insurance and global open finance experience to discuss the central question for Europe's financial future: How can the EU build an Open Finance framework that is globally competitive, aligned with European values, and both economically and operationally viable? Moderated by Christopher Schmitz, Partner at EY-Parthenon and Europe West FinTech & Open Finance Leader, the conversation went far beyond compliance and technical standards but addressed the fundamental questions. Together with our distinguished guests Alice Guedel, Policy Officer at the European Commission and responsible for FIDA, Verena Ritter-Döring, Partner at Taylor Wessing, Daniel Nestrovsky, Head of Open Finance Regulation at Bradesco, Joris Hensen, Founder and Head of API at Deutsche Bank, and Stephen Voss, CEO & Founder at Neodigital Versicherung, we engaged in a constructive and forward-looking discussion on how Open Finance can become a reality in Europe and what it takes to turn regulation into real value for the customers and the industry. Intro moderated by: Peter Fricke, Associate Director FinTech Business Development.

Today's guest is Jim Reid, Global Head of Macro Research at Deutsche Bank. In today's episode, Jim walks through lessons from his annual report, The Ultimate Guide to Long-Term Investing, which covers over 200 years of market data from 56 countries. He explains why cash is one of the riskiest long-term assets, how inflation quietly destroys wealth, and why valuation is the single most reliable predictor of long-term returns. He also discusses how fiat money has reshaped bonds, gold, and equities since 1971.  To close, Jim reminds us that history consistently rewards investors who buy cheap, diversify globally, and respect long-term market cycles.

Do not miss the first part of Amanda's Epstein files conversation. To listen, click here: THE EPSTEIN FILES, EXPLAINED: Everything You Need to Know. Brad Edwards – who has represented 200 Epstein survivors for almost two decades – is the attorney who sued to expose what was later found by a federal judge to be the federal prosecution's prolonged, coordinated collusion to protect Jeffrey Epstein from facing justice for his crimes.   In this exclusive conversation with Amanda, in which Brad shares experiences during his advocacy for survivors he has never shared before, he walks us through: The incredible courage and resilience of the survivors The secret immunity deal between federal prosecutors and Epstein and the government cover-up How the DOJ seems to be intentionally revictimizing survivors in the way they are releasing the Epstein Files How he secretly worked with the SDNY to finally arrest Epstein in 2019  What the path forward is for accountability.  This episode centers survivors and the people who never stopped fighting for them, and asks what comes next. About Brad Edwards: Brad Edwards is the founding partner of Edwards Henderson and the author of Relentless Pursuit: My Fight for the Victims of Jeffrey Epstein.  He is a nationally recognized Board Certified Civil Trial attorney who specializes in providing civil representation for children, survivors of sexual abuse, and victims of violent crimes. From 2008 through 2019, Brad served as pro-bono lead counsel on behalf of the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein in the seminal case upholding crime victims' rights in this country. In 2019, the Federal Judge on the case ruled in favor of the victims, holding that the government had violated the rights of Epstein's victims under the Crime Victims' Rights Act when Epstein entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement without the knowledge of his victims in 2008. In 2023, Brad spearheaded unprecedented litigation as lead counsel against the banking institutions that facilitated Epstein's sex-trafficking operation for decades. The litigation ended in a $290 million settlement with JP Morgan Chase and a $75 million settlement with Deutsche Bank on behalf of hundreds of survivors from all over the world.

Federal Judge Jed S. Rakoff has accelerated litigation brought by a woman who says she was abused by Jeffrey Epstein, ordering the case against Bank of America (BofA) and The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY) onto a fast track. The plaintiff (referred to as “Jane Doe”) alleges the banks knowingly facilitated Epstein's trafficking operation, pointing to an account opened at BofA at Epstein's direction and alleging BNY processed around $378 million in payments to trafficking victims. The judge set November deadlines for motions to dismiss, demands full discovery by late February 2026, and indicated trials could begin in May or June 2026.The lawsuits bring fresh scrutiny to how major financial institutions may have turned a blind eye—or worse—to red flags around Epstein's operations. In the BofA complaint, the claim is made that the bank failed to file required Suspicious Activity Reports despite multiple warning signs, and profited from Epstein's business. The BNY suit accuses the bank of giving credit lines and processing vast sums tied to Epstein's model-agency front used in trafficking. Both banks say they will defend vigorously. The move follows earlier suits against JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank that settled for hundreds of millions of dollars without admissions of liability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsources:Epstein Victim Lawsuits Against Bank of America and BNY Moving Quickly - Business Insider

After raising concerns internally, Desiree says she was suddenly locked out of the system, publicly smeared, and forced out of Germany — triggering investigations by US and German authorities.
