Paul Morris, a private banker with ties to Jeffrey Epstein, has left Bank of America’s Merrill wealth management division.
Paul V. Morris, a former private banker at JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank who previously worked with Jeffrey Epstein, has exited Bank of America’s Merrill wealth management unit. The departure was reported on Monday and follows Morris’s role in managing Epstein’s accounts at prior firms.
Morris joined Merrill as a wealth adviser, though details of his tenure or reasons for leaving remain undisclosed. His association with Epstein has drawn scrutiny in the past, particularly amid legal and regulatory investigations into financial institutions linked to the financier.
Bank of America has not commented on the departure, and no immediate market reaction was observed.
