In a CNN interview, former Sports Illustrated model Stacey Williams recounted her experiences with Epstein and now President Trump in the early 1990s. "I dated Jeffery for a period of ... 4 or 5 months. The only friend that he mentioned every time we saw each other or had phone conversations was Donald ... That was his bro, that was his wingman." Williams describes an assault that she says she experienced in 1993 at the hands of Trump. Williams said Trump groped her and Epstein was present. "They were back and forth smiling and grinning and carrying on a conversation while Donald ran his hands all over me ... When that happens in broad daylight in someone's office and an assistant is walking back forth, you're in shock ... You go into shock ... I froze." Trump has denied the allegation. CNN says they talked to three friends of Williams who confirmed to them that Williams told them of the assault over decades. Williams says that journalist Michael Wolff has hundreds of hours of interviews with Epstein and she believes Epstein confirmed the incident during those interviews. Wolff told The New Yorker that he does have lengthy interviews with Epstein. "The men were "probably the closest friend either of them ever had," Wolff said of Trump and Epstein.

BaFin to Deepen Deutsche Bank Money Laundering Investigation (Feb 2019)
www.financemagnates.com
...Deutsche Bank released a statement on Friday saying that BaFin, the German financial regulator, has extended the remit of an independent auditor examining the lender's role in the Danske Bank money laundering scandal.[emphasis mine]
The case stems from an ongoing investigation into the Danish bank's Estonian division.
After a whistle-blower sounded the alarm about the activity of certain customers, most of whom were from Russia and the former Soviet Union, in late 2018, it became apparent that Danske Bank's Tallinn-based operations were doing business with some less than scrupulous individuals.
It is alleged that the bank laundered around $225 billion from 2007 to 2014. If that is the case, it would potentially be the largest instance of money laundering ever uncovered.
Deutsche Bank falls into the mix as it acted as Danske Bank's main correspondent bank. According to the Financial Times, the German bank was responsible for facilitating $180 billion in suspicious transactions....

Lyrics excerpt ...
...
[Verse 1: Murray Head]
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean Spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue?
It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or--
Or this place!
[Chorus: Anders Glenmark]
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel slidin' up to me
