Virgin Islands and JPMorgan blame each other for aiding Jeffrey Epstein in court filings.
The U.S. Virgin Islands and JPMorgan Chase Accuse Each Other in Jeffrey Epstein Case
The U.S. Virgin Islands and banking giant JPMorgan Chase have recently filed court documents accusing each other of enabling Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious sex trafficker.
The filing from the Virgin Islands references alleged communications between a former and current JPMorgan executive which appears to show that they knew of Epstein’s ties to “nymphettes,” while the filing from JPMorgan says that the Virgin Islands was trying to shift blame for allowing Epstein’s sex trafficking to the bank.
JPMorgan, in a legal filing on Monday, stated, “This is not a case about Jeffrey Epstein’s victims. This is a case in which a complicit governmental actor, the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), knowingly used its sovereign powers to enable Epstein’s sex crimes…”
The bank further added that it will prove that the Virgin Islands “created a haven for Epstein’s criminal activity.” JPMorgan recently settled with Epstein’s victims for $290 million.
In its 148-page filing, the Virgin Islands alleged that JPMorgan was deeply tied to Epstein and facilitated his sex-trafficking operation. The government accused JPMorgan of facilitating millions of dollars in payments to Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators, settlement payments, legal expenses, and suspicious cash withdrawals.
One message included in the filing from former JPMorgan CFO David Brigstocke to JPMorgan executive Mary Erdoes in September 2012 seems to indicate the executives knew that all was not right with Epstein.
“Reminded me of JE’s house, except it was more tasteful, and fewer nymphettes,” Brigstocke allegedly wrote. “More like the Frick [museum]. Art was fabulous.”
The filing also points to alleged communications between Epstein and Jes Staley, a former banking executive for JPMorgan and Barclays. Staley has been sued by JPMorgan, who blames the bank’s connection to Epstein on him.
Alleged emails between Staley and Epstein show them discussing “Snow White.” Staley allegedly emailed Epstein on July 9, 2010, saying, “That was fun. Say hi to Snow White.” Epstein reportedly replied, “what character would you like next,” to which Staley allegedly replied “Beauty and the Beast.”
In an additional filing on Monday from the Virgin Islands, Staley was allegedly told by then JPMorgan CEO Douglas Warner that Epstein was “one of the most connected people I know of in New York,” suggesting they should meet.
The Virgin Islands is suing JPMorgan for $190 million over its handling of its relationship with Epstein, while the bank has sued Staley to make him culpable for any Epstein fallout.
