In a federal complaint submitted on Tuesday, United States Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George stated that financial behemoth J.P. Morgan Chase “turned a blind eye” to evidence of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking enterprise.
According to information and belief, JP Morgan ignored signs of human trafficking for more than ten years due to Epstein’s personal financial involvement, the complaint claims.
According to the lawsuit, J.P. Morgan Chase profited from Epstein’s sex trafficking enterprise and assisted in keeping the activities that took place on his property hidden by failing to properly adhere to federal regulations on records and reporting that might have forewarned U.S. authorities about Epstein’s activities before they were eventually exposed.
In the lawsuit, George stated that “financial institutions may connect—or choke—human trafficking networks. Enforcement actions filed and injunctive relief secured by attorneys general are critical to guarantee that businesses like Epstein’s cannot flourish in the future.”
Given that Epstein had pled guilty to a sex-related crime involving a juvenile in Florida in 2008, George contended that J.P. Morgan Chase should have given it some attention before permitting Epstein to become a customer.
The infamous billionaire Epstein is accused of running a sex trafficking business out of his residence on the Little St. James island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. When Epstein was discovered dead in a jail cell in 2019, he was awaiting trial on federal charges stemming from allegations that he ran a sex trafficking operation in Manhattan for three years.
Epstein’s demise was determined to be a suicide. Ghislaine Maxwell, a former partner of his, was given a 20-year prison term this past summer for aiding in the trafficking of minors.
Prior to being dismissed as a customer by J.P. Morgan Chase in 2013, Epstein had been a client of the bank for almost 15 years.
The complaint claims:
JPMorgan (JPM) made too-little, too-late steps to comply with federal law after Epstein was detained on federal sex trafficking charges and soon after his passing, showing that it had been aware for more than a decade that it was not doing so with relation to accounts tied to Epstein.
Following the filing of two civil cases by unnamed plaintiffs against J.P. Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank, George accuses the two banks of aiding and abetting the alleged sex trafficking network run by Epstein.
Epstein’s estate agreed to pay George millions and a portion of the revenues from the sale of Epstein’s private island as part of a $105 million settlement earlier in the month for allegedly breaking the laws of the Virgin Islands against corruption, trafficking, and sexual servitude.
