Maxwell's Shell Game: The Pot & Kettle Files
Updated: Aug 11
# Maxwell's Shell Game: The Pot & Kettle Files
**How Ghislaine Maxwell moved millions through a web of LLCs, trusts, and a shell company named after a proverb about hypocrisy**
The newly released Epstein files reveal the full architecture of Ghislaine Maxwell's financial shell game - a network of at least seven entities managed by the same two UBS Private Wealth advisors, shuffling millions between accounts while her partner ran a child sex trafficking operation.
And one of those shells? She literally named it **Pot & Kettle LLC**.
The Shell Empire
Documents EFTA00016035 and EFTA00016036 contain a "MAXWELL: Transfer Recap" email from January 27, 2014, showing coordinated transfers between UBS and JPMorgan:
| Entity | UBS Value | JPM Value | Status |
|--------|-----------|-----------|--------|
| Ghislaine Maxwell (personal) | - | $27,047.74 | Completed |
| Ghislaine Maxwell (second account) | - | $3,122,468.82 | In process |
| Max Foundation | $3,517.72 | $3,517.75 | Completed |
| Max Foundation (second) | $17,213.42 | - | In process |
| 116 East 65th Street LLC | $10,731.50 | $30,200+ | In process |
All managed by the same team: **Scott Stackman and Lyle Casriel**, UBS Private Wealth Management.
Pot & Kettle LLC
**EFTA01277379** reveals the UBS account details:
The same advisors. The same bank. A shell company named after the idiom "the pot calling the kettle black" - a phrase about hypocrisy and projection.
**EFTA00022427** shows direct journal transfers from Pot & Kettle to Maxwell's personal accounts:
> "JOURNAL FROM Y1 23679 POT & KETTLE, LLC" - funds moved directly to Ghislaine Maxwell
The Full Network
Seven entities, one advisory team:
1. **Ghislaine Maxwell** (personal accounts) - $3.1M+
2. **116 East 65th Street LLC** - Her NYC townhouse, paying contractors via UBS
3. **Max Foundation** - Charity front
4. **Pot & Kettle LLC** - Miami Beach shell
5. **Terramar Project Inc** - "Ocean conservation" nonprofit (EFTA01276663)
6. **Angara Trust** - Received $14.2M transfer (EFTA01279452)
7. **Montpelier Trust** - Additional trust structure
The $14.2 Million Letter
**EFTA01279452** contains Maxwell's signed authorization to her UBS advisors:
> "Dear Scott and Lyle:
>
> Please use this letter as authorization to transfer **$14,200,000** from account titled Ghislaine Maxwell to account titled **Angara Trust**.
>
> Also, please complete the following transfers:
> Transfer Entire Account Balance (Cash & Securities):
> FROM: Account titled Ghislaine Maxwell
> TO: Account titled Angara Trust"
November 23, 2016 - three years before Epstein's arrest.
The Terramar Front
**EFTA01276663** shows the Terramar Project UBS account - Maxwell's "ocean conservation" charity:
Same address as her personal LLC. Same advisors. The charity that shut down immediately after Epstein's 2019 arrest.
116 East 65th Street LLC
**EFTA00022368** shows this wasn't just a holding company - it had active payroll:
- ACH WITHDRAWAL ADP EEPAY/GARNWC: $1,680.70
- ACH WITHDRAWAL ADP Tax/401k: $802.33
- Checks to William Dailey
- Checks to ADI Enterprises
Staff on payroll. At the same address where victims were trafficked.

The Pattern
Every entity:
- Same two UBS advisors (Stackman/Casriel)
- Same bank (UBS Private Wealth → JPMorgan transfers)
- Same address network (NYC, Miami Beach)
- Interconnected journal transfers
This wasn't wealth management. This was a **money maze** - designed to obscure the source and movement of funds while Maxwell and Epstein operated their trafficking network.
What UBS Knew
UBS Private Wealth Management assigned their advisors to manage:
- A convicted sex offender's partner
- Multiple shell companies at trafficking locations
- A charity that existed only on paper
- Trusts receiving eight-figure transfers
The same compliance failures that led to JPMorgan's $290M settlement and Deutsche Bank's $150M settlement.
**Did Scott Stackman and Lyle Casriel ever file a Suspicious Activity Report?**
The files don't say. But the pattern speaks for itself.
