1:01What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. The bare knuckle brawl down in the US Virgin Islands is in full swing with the US Virgin Islands itself being accused of enabling Jeffrey Epstein by giving him favorable business deals and looking the other way while he was conducting his disgusting business for decades. However, it's not just the US Virgin Islands here that's being called on the carpet. It's also JP Morgan. And the US Virgin Islands has released some new exhibits detailing JP Morgan's ties to Jeffrey Epstein. So let's dive into this article from the St. Thomas source and let's see where things currently stand. Headline. The I releases new exhibits detailing JP Morgan's Epstein ties. This article was authored by Cien Cobb. New exhibits filed Tuesday in the Virgin Island

2:02government's lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase reveal how the bank's top brass continued to court Jeffrey Epstein for his ties to some of the world's wealthiest individuals even as its compliance arm warned that he was a growing threat. And when you have the compliance department telling you that this isn't somebody we should be doing business with, you should probably listen to the compliance department. That's what they're there for, right? Their job is to make sure that we're in compliance with all of the state and federal laws that we have to be in compliance with. Unless of course your boss just daily comes down and tells you, hey, you know what, look the other way here. Let's act like this never happened. There's no way that Epstein suspicious. Look at all the money he's bringing in and all that bad stuff they say. It's all rumor. Jeffy's a great guy. The exhibits include a June 7th letter to Judge Jed Raycoff of Manhattan Federal Court that was previously filed under seal seeking to allow the VI Attorney General's office to reopen depositions

3:06in light of information it received after questioning key witnesses in the case, including JP Morgan's billionaire CEO Jamie Diamond. Raycoff on Friday denied that motion and on Tuesday the government unsealed 10 exhibits offering a closer look at JP Morgan's relationship with Epstein, the wealthy financier pedophile who died by apparent suicide in August of 2019 while in custody in New York on federal child sex trafficking charges. His primary residence was little saying James his private island to state in St. Thomas. And if you were getting all kinds of financial benefits for setting up shops somewhere, wouldn't you go there too? We're getting reports now that Epstein received up to $300 million in tax incentives from the US Virgin Islands. So if you were getting those sorts of tax incentives and they were going to rewrite or try to rewrite the offender's law for you, why wouldn't you want to set up shop down on this island? He knew that his great wealth

4:08could be harnessed into a powerful tool in a place like little saying James and in St. Thomas where there is poverty. Wherever there is vulnerable people to exploit, you know that somebody like Epstein won't be far behind. The governments can plan filed December 27th in Manhattan Federal Court, claims JP Morgan violated the Federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act and its services to Epstein whom it kept as a client even after his 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for prostitution in Florida. The case is scheduled for trial on October 23rd and I don't think they're going to settle like I've said before from the very beginning, I think that JP Morgan is ready to go to the mattresses here. They believe that US Virgin Islands should share some of the responsibility and they don't believe that they should be paying one single cent to the US Virgin Islands. You notice how quickly they paid out the survivors, right? They knew that wasn't a winning proposition.

5:08This however, they feel like they can fight it and every single time the US Virgin Islands has unleashed a new document that says that JP Morgan is in bed with Epstein or was in bed with Epstein. We see the same thing by JP Morgan talking about the US Virgin Islands being complicit with what he was up to. And then the rest of us are sitting around saying to ourselves, as both of you keep firing off salvo after salvo, all you're doing is further strengthening everyone's belief that you all knew. So as these two parties wage all out war, looking to destroy each other, what they're really doing is exposing themselves for the scoundrel ass scuzzballs that they are. And I know that none of you out there listening needed to know that you didn't need a refresher course on how scummy the financial sector is, but for the people who don't follow the case closely, who might just be learning about it, well, they're getting a whole ass face full at just how scummy the biggest bank in the United States is. Jeffrey Epstein connected JP Morgan Chase's executives with some of the world's

6:14most high profile and wealthy individuals. The VI Attorney General's office said in a statement following Tuesday's filing, the US VI's can plan alleges that in return for bringing valuable new clients into the bank, JP Morgan Chase through its senior executives, including Mary Erdos, ignored the evidence of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and traded victims public safety for its own profits. What have they been listening to the podcast? Because that's been my mantra here from the jump. All of these people, the US Virgin Islands as well, have put profits over people. So it's hypocritical at best to see them say that in a filing. Friends in high places. According to the government's filing, Epstein offered JP Morgan access to such high profile individuals as Prince Andrew of Great Britain, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, American billionaire and private equity investor Leon Black, former US presidential advisor David Gergen, Israeli general and politician

7:19Ahud Barak, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the children of former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, Lord Peter Mandelson of the British government, the Agnelli family of Fiat Motor Company fame and the ruling shakes of Kuwait, Buran, Dubai and the United Arab Emirates among many others. Meanwhile, employees with the banks' compliance arm were sounding alarms that Epstein was under federal investigation for child sex trafficking, which was drawing press attention and that the banks should drop him as a client according to the filings. When I worked at the sports book, the second compliance got involved and they told us that there was a player that was a risk that player was gone. It didn't matter how much money that player was betting or what he was up to or anything like that. The second you become a risk and put the company's bottom line in jeopardy, you have to be let go of as a client and if the institution continues to do business

8:23with you, even though they know that you're risky and you're somebody that compliance says shouldn't even have an account. Well, then that company who's doing business with you should be held liable for whatever comes after it. And while JP Morgan hasn't admitted any wrongs, they certainly paid out $290 million right in recognition of their bullshit processes and they've also recognized the fact that Jess Staley, who was Mr. Golden Boy over at JP Morgan, was great friends with Epstein, was facilitating Epstein and according to reports abused girls or at least one girl with Epstein. Meanwhile, he was an employee of JP Morgan this whole entire time. So while Jess Staley certainly showeders a big part of the blame here to act like JP Morgan had no idea what was going on and that they were blindsided by all of this is just ridiculous. They knew all these executives were talking, they were all talking about how bad Epstein was. You had compliance telling

9:25them that Epstein shouldn't be a client and they continued on doing business with Epstein because it was putting some more money in their pockets. That's just the bottom line. That's cutting away all the fat and all of the bullshit and just getting right down to it. It was all about more profits and getting richer. JP Morgan's top officials eventually ordered an internal investigation into the bank's Epstein ties in 2019, a probe that became known as Project Jeep should have been known as Project BS. It released an unredacted summary of those findings to the government on May 30, the last day for discovery in the case according to Tuesday's filing. According to the summary, a 22 page bulleted list detailing emails between Epstein, Jess Staley, the former CEO of Investment Banking, or DOS, the CEO of Asset and Wealth Management, and occasionally others, dating back to 2008. Epstein was actively involved in the business of JP Morgan, particularly through Staley.

10:29JP Morgan and March filed a third party lawsuit against Staley alleging he thwarted its efforts to sever ties with Epstein and should pay if the V.I. government prevails in its suit. Raycoff in April denied Staley's motion to dismiss the suit. And JP Morgan is really going hard here saying that it was all Jess Staley's fault. All of the blame is on him. Meanwhile, JP Morgan and the bosses above Jess Staley could have put a stop to this at any point in time. They didn't. So not only is it just Staley's fault, it's also the fault of the people that were above him. There needs to be accountability from top to bottom. Dave Roberts here.

According to the project Jeep summary, the pair had a close relationship with Staley, maintaining communications, even while Epstein was serving time in Florida, on the child prostitution charges. Staley consulted Epstein on everything from his compensation package and his dealings with the Federal Reserve to the bank's real estate portfolio and his promotion

12:33to CEO of investment banking in 2009. To asset acquisitions and JP Morgan's forays into China according to the exhibit. In an October 2009 email Epstein wrote to Staley, feel free to call often. It is difficult for the quarterback to see the playing field. That's why he calls up to the box. Eggdick making football references cracks me up. You know this dude I never strapped on a helmet? Bro has never ran a route across the center of the field and got lit up by a linebacker? Shut up with the football references and stick to shit you know, like stealing and molesting people. A few days later he wrote to Staley, my suggestion your first great move should be a new China initiative. First it was alternative investments now China. You should have a dedicated China entity with its own board of advisors should include China pop politicos. They love to travel. You should be their link to treasury or can issue credit the false swaps for their investment in the US and you can ask treasury to be the

13:40third party. Just an example brilliant staley replied. Imagine being the head of the division over here at JP Morgan and needing advice from eggdick Epstein. Epstein went on to organize a tutorial for staley on doing business in China according to the summary and wrote an extensive email laying out the steps for JP Morgan to expand its business in the country down to details surrounding the culture office locations and suggestions for approaching government officials. Epstein giving advice on how to approach government officials. I wonder why he'd do that. He's never been in bed with any government officials right? Right? Epstein also suggested staley might want to approach Abu Dhabi and say as a key player in the world financial system you will advise them for free. If and only if they decide to implement your advice. Salivatsets that's how you'll be compensated just an idea. Yeah but Epstein

14:43wasn't involved in any kind of money laundering right? No need for Rico here. I'm just you know way off base with the whole entire Rico run. A day later on November 29th 2009 staley forwarded Epstein what appeared to be an internal email regarding discussions with senior officials in the Dubai and Abu Dhabi departments of finance according to the summary. Today's later Epstein wrote to staley the first most elegant deal that you can do is to have China buy Dubai world ports. They want turn key operations where they can use their worldwide construction companies for building would be a first great deal for the new CEO of the IB a close friendship. On December 3rd 2009 staley wrote to Epstein I realized the danger in sending this email but it was great to be able today to give you in New York City a long heartfelt hug to my friend thanks. Jess according to the summary it appears that at

15:46the time Epstein was not permitted to leave the state of Florida based on the terms of his sentence which provides context to the preface of staley's email. The relationship extended to the US Virgin Islands which staley appears to have visited with some frequency including on his sailboat Bequia according to court filings. On December 26th 2009 he wrote to Epstein fun tonight what do we do next? Epstein replied my car and driver former DEA armed will pick you up and say Thomas we have all the on field permits helicopter also available for a tour around remember I own the two big marinas yacht Haven Grand in St Thomas and the Marina at Redhook you can use my ATVs jet ski gym etc. I will organize the harbor at Norman Island if you like as well as lunch at Goana. On January 14th 2010 staley wrote to Epstein arrived at your harbor someday we'll have to do

16:46this together. By March 5th 2011 as news of investigations and Epstein was taking hold in the press he emailed staley more bad press ignore it staley replied the post Epstein replied no English papers have gone berserk claiming FBI reopening investigation not true publishing a phone book that is not mine but was stolen by my house man currently in prison for doing so so he was trying to get out in front of the story and sending all of these absurd emails like he wasn't involved in any of this and Mr. Big Shot Mr. smartest man in the room Jess staley sucked it all up the same day staley wrote to Epstein that he and his wife were talking tonight about what you have meant to me and to redacted you have paid a price for what has been accused but we know that you have done for us and we count you as one of our deepest friends and most honest of people thanks Jess Epstein replied now keep in mind that staley told us that him and Epstein were just

17:48acquaintances remember they weren't close they weren't buddies and it was just all a big misunderstanding if you will well that's not the case we know how close they are and we know how close they were and the fact that just staley lied about something like that tells us everything we need to know about the rest of his story three days later vanity fair published an article about Epstein and his one-time girlfriend and accomplice Galen Maxwell who was currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in his sex trafficking scheme trouble on the horizon beginning in 2011 staley and Erdos were having regular communications with Epstein relating to certain strategic initiatives and business proposals including a donor advise fund involving Bill Gates that he proposed could be worth two billion within two years according to the exhibit meanwhile employees with JP Morgan's compliance arm held a rapid response meeting in early January of 2011 regarding

18:51Epstein and were conducting a review of the bank's relationship with him amid reports that he was under investigation for allegedly trafficking young girls according to emails imagine you're in the middle of doing this review and you get all of this information and you still don't cut ties with them and this is after he's already been an offender again Epstein's personal friendship with staley was at the center of the discussion he is also an alleged personal associate of the CEO of the investment bank Jess Staley the email from Philip DeLuca then managing director for the bank's financial intelligence unit to two other employees started at the money laundering operations went to a P.B. risk meeting late last week requesting that we exit this relationship it said in a meeting that was arranged with staley to discuss the banks recent human trafficking initiative with them says it right there he was laundering money through JP Morgan we all know this the whole

19:53world knows it how is it that nobody's ever been slapped in connection with that it was more than two years before the bank severed its ties with Epstein though it kept closed tabs on his activity as a high risk private bank customer including annual reviews according to two exhibits detailing conversations in 2012 and 2013 JP Morgan has called the vi government suit a masterclass in deflection key to their argument is the fact that the vi government through its economic development commission granted Epstein lucrative tax and other benefits during the same period that it is accusing JP Morgan chase of helping further the wealthy financier pedophiles sex trafficking scheme the bank intends that having won a 105 million dollar settlement and its lawsuit against Epstein's estate in November the vi attorney general's office now casts a field for deeper pockets and I don't disagree with that I've said that for a while that the US Virgin Islands and the way they're

20:58going about their business here is just straight up ridiculous but that doesn't mean JP Morgan should be on the hook either they should be on June 12th JP Morgan asked the court to order the government to withdraw confidentiality designations over public records it produced in response to the bank's document request on Friday judge Raycoff granted that request ordering the usvi to de-designate as confidential the annual reports filed by Epstein's companies to the usvi as well as his sex offender file I find it fascinating that in the effort to burn each other to the ground JP Morgan and the US Virgin Islands are exposing a lot of the corruption within the US Virgin Islands and JP Morgan itself and while they battle tooth and nail over a settlement here I think that overall they're doing more harm to themselves than they could possibly imagine and they're opening the door to other people

22:01namely the survivors to getting involved and filing suit as well and my guess is before the October trial date there's going to be plenty more twist turns and curves for us to navigate all right folks that's going to do it for this one all of the information that goes with the episode can be found in the description box what's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles Dave Roberts here there you are surrounded by fans sharing wings sharing drinks high fiving random strangers everybody remembers the game nobody remembers the guy coughing behind you until a few days later at 2 a.m. you wake up with the fever and your throats on fire now what urgent care close ER slam telehealth maybe but the pharmacies close you needed a medical emergency kit these aren't first aid kits they contain essential prescriptions used for over 30 common conditions sinus and ear infection UTI stomach bug travelers diarrhea and more on hand before you need them use your doctor develop guidebook to select the right prescription or call their

Thomas source and we're going to get caught up on what's going on with the lawsuit so let's just get right to it headline virgin island seeks new charge against jp morgan over Epstein dealings this article was authored by cncob the vi attorney general's office is seeking to amend its complaint against jp morgan chase to add a charge that the bank obstructed enforcement

24:12of the federal trafficking victims protection act in its business dealings with the late disgraced financier pedophile jeffery Epstein well yeah that's exactly what they were doing now are they going to be able to prove it in a court of law that's debatable but that's exactly what was going on the thing is these guys are well adept at protecting their own interests right and they'll make sure that layer after layer of protection is woven into their operation so that they never get nailed and if they do they'll have plausible deniability just look at what Jamie diamonds doing right now just look at what just a Lee's doing right now nobody ever accepting responsibility when things go left the strategy is let's just blame everybody else and hope to cause enough confusion that everything just dies down with a fine because that's what they're looking for they want to pay some money and get rid of all of this that's the end goal for jp morgan that's the end goal for a Deutsch bank and that's the end goal for Epstein's estate they don't want any of

25:15the information to see the light of day they want to pay out a few bucks and have everything go away jp morgan opposed the motion in a response on Tuesday saying the government missed the court's January 11 deadline to further amend its complaint and lack standing to do so in its parents patriarch capacity under which a state has third party standing to bring a lawsuit when it implicates its interests for the well-being of its citizens the v.i. government alleges that jp morgan's obstruction directly approximately and forcibly harmed women and girls in the virgin islands by directly resulting in them being caused to engage in commercial sex acts and in other ways the filings are the latest in a flurry of activity in the case including a third party suit by jp morgan against its former executive james jess daily asking the new york court to make him pay if the plaintiffs prevail in their suits against the bank and again look it's always going to be somebody else's fault

26:20nobody's ever going to step up and take responsibility for what happened here it's never going to happen if you're waiting for people in the financial sector to ever take responsibility for their bullshit you're going to be waiting for a long time staley handled Epstein's 50 plus accounts and is at the center of the governments can plaint and another brought by an anonymous Epstein survivor jane doe number one who was also filed a suit against Deutsche Bank where Epstein took his business after staley moved on to blue mountain capital in 2013 and then to barclays bank in 2015 the cases have been consolidated by us district judge jed s rakeoff and we know that judge rakeoff is really not a big fan of wall street in the first place so hopefully his tolerance for shenanigans from jp morgan and Deutsche Bank will be at a minimum the suits alleged that jp morgan ignored red flags

27:22concerning Epstein his accounts and staley's close relationship with the wealthy financier pedophile a convicted sex offender whose primary residence was little saying james his private island estate located off of st. Thomas Epstein was found dead by a parent suicide in august of 2019 in a new york city jelsel where he was being held on federal human trafficking charges those charges stemmed from investigations into his controversial 2008 non-prostitution agreement with federal prosecutors in florida under which he pled guilty to state charges of soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution despite evidence that dozens more girls were involved he served 13 months in a work release program at the office of a foundation he started made payments to victims and became a registered sex offender well not in new mexico he didn't he certainly wasn't a registered sex offender there and as far as what went down in florida as far

28:27as the non-prostitution agreement hopefully we're going to learn a little bit more about that because it looks like the grand jury documents the transcripts are going to be released and that'll give us a window into the process and into what happened inside of that room considering they only brought one witness up against jeffrey epstein and his friends i would like an answer as to why considering there were dozens of girls who had come forward and brought allegations why is it that only one girl was brought up as a witness to the grand jury so there's just so many things that need to be explained still after all of these years that still have not been explained stale exchange the approximately 1200 emails with epstein from his jp morgan email account between 2008 and 2013 none of which were flagged in connection with risk reviews of the financier pedophiles accounts according to the usv i's complaints the vi government has alleged that those emails included

29:31photos of young women in provocative poses discussed epstein's provision of services to stalee during his travel to little saying james and elsewhere on dates that closely correspond with epstein's payments to the same young woman from his jp morgan accounts and discussed young women or girls procured by epstein using the names of disney princesses as if they couldn't get more let's use the name of princesses from little kid stories you bunches sick disgusting degenerates for his part stalee on thursday filed a motion to have his case heard separately citing an inability to comply with the court's deadlines for discovery and the trial date of october 23rd jp morgan opposed that request and her apply on friday and we talked a little bit about that last and how the usv virgin islands they don't want the trial split they want jest stalee and jp morgan on the hook together at the same time a case for a second count in an order on march 20th judge

30:37rakeoff said count one of the virgin island governments first amended complaint that jp morgan knowingly benefited from participating in a sex trafficking venture in violation of the federal trafficking victims protection act or tvpa would remain but dismissed two counts under the virgin islands criminally influenced and corrupt organizations act otherwise known as seco and another under the territories consumer fraud and deceptive business practices act in its motion the file a second amended complaint on monday the vi government now seeks to add account that the bank obstructed enforcement of the tvpa noting that the judge in his march order allowed that charge to stand in those suit against jp morgan so what they're doing basically is piggybacking off of the other allegation in the other lawsuit because the judge has already allowed that so it's a pretty shrewd move from the virgin islands and one that is probably going

31:41to see them hit some pay dirt because the courts and judges well they love precedent and with judge rakeoff already ruling in the other case that it can go forward it would make sense that he would give the nod here to this amended lawsuit filed by the virgin islands the bank argues that the government is belatedly piggybacking on those can plain well that's how it works when new information is provided we go back and we amend dark and plain i don't see jp morgan having any kind of tenable ground here to defend what they're saying the us vi's motion for leave to amend comes far too late according to jp morgan's reply it provided 100,000 pages of documents in 2021 when subpoenaed in the us vi's lawsuit against abstinence estate which was settled in december for 105 million dollars then was contacted by the government with suggestions the bank may have violated the territory seco act it said jp mc was in the process of explaining to us vi why those dismissed allegations

32:45lacked merit when it was sued by jane dou one for alleged violations of the tvpa and now a consolidated case us vi then followed those lead following suit in this court alleging for the first time a tvpa violation the reply stated now months after this courts january 11th 2023 deadline to file an amended complaint us vi once again tries to jump on the ban wagon this is an inordinate delay for which us vi has not met its burden to satisfactorily explain the bank stated saying the government had the same facts for its proposed new claim when it filed its initial complaint on december 27th and its first amended complaint on january 10th so they're contending that this is just a piggyback and it is but i think that judge rakeoff is going to allow it to move forward at the very least us vi should have sought leave to amend immediately after january 13th 2023

33:50when dou asserted her claim alleging obstruction of the tvpa yet us vi inexplicably waited months while jpmc's motion to dismiss was briefed and argued before it sought to assert its copycat claim indeed us vi waited to piggyback on those obstruction claim until the court's denial of jpmc's motion to dismiss that count in though us vi has offered no satisfactory explanation for its months long delay according to the reply loopholes and technicalities that's what it comes down to these people never want to answer for anything so it'll it'll be oh it wasn't filed correctly it wasn't filed soon enough and they'll always tip toe around the real issue here and the issue is jpmorgon was financially backing jeffrey absdeen and they were enabling his bullshit the vi government asserts in its 43 page motion that because the additional claim is

34:50based on the same alleged facts in its first amended complaint it does not either require jpmorgon to expend additional resources on discovery or trial preparation or delay the resolution of this action it also notes that doe already is litigating the obstruction claim based on the same alleged facts in her case that is scheduled for a consolidated trial with this case moreover the governmental ledges that within three days of the judges march 20th order dismissing its seco claim but upholding those tvpa obstruction claim it asks jpmorgon's consent to amend to conform its remaining tvpa claim with those remaining tvpa claims based on the same fact allegations the bank refused it said so the us vi has sought leave of the court the government thus acted with diligence moreover even if it had not it still should be granted leave to amend because jpmorgon cannot show prejudice according to

35:53the government's memorandum of law in support of the second amended complaint so it's going to be a back and forth the fair here and both sides are going to look to press the issue right the question is which side is going to press the right issue with the judge some new details davor obert here there you are surrounded by fans sharing wings sharing drinks high-fiving random strangers everybody remembers the game nobody remembers the guy coughing behind you until a few days later at 2am you wake up with the fever and your throats on fire now what urgent care close er slam telehealth maybe but the pharmacies close you needed a medical emergency kit these aren't first aid kits they contain essential prescriptions use for over 30 common conditions sinus and ear infection uti stomach bug travelers diarrhea and more on hand before you need them use your doctor develop guidebook to select the right prescription or call their telemedicine doctor standing by it's like an urgent care and drugstore at home when you're sick traveling or stranded you wish you ordered a medical

38:00got money from Jeffrey Epstein's bank accounts as he was paying them off so yeah they did a great job with monitoring what Epstein was up to and what his account was up to in march of two thousand and eleven jp morgan's global corporate security division reported that numerous articles detailed various law enforcement agencies investigating Jeffrey Epstein for allegedly participating directly or indirectly in child trafficking and molesting underage girls Jeffrey Epstein has settled a dozen civil lawsuits out of court from his victims regarding solicitation for an undisclosed amount according to the government's motion so they all knew this is what I've been talking about jp morgan doitja bank the government everybody knew what he was doing and nobody lifted a finger to stop him additionally it claims the bank's anti money laundering director in august two thousand and eleven flagged an account relating to the land Maxwell Epstein's former companion

39:00co-conspirator general all around scusbag fellow child abuser and bipedal serpent who in 2021 was sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiring with him to sexually abuse minors Maxwell wanted to set up an account for her personal recruitment consulting business it says in an eternal email jp morgan's aml director asked what does she mean by a personal recruitment are you sure this will have nothing to do with Jeffrey if you want to proceed I suggest that we flag this as a high risk client they knew she was high risk they flagger as high risk and continued to do business with her because again profits over people when it comes to the banks despite these communications the bank did not terminate its relationship with Epstein until 2013 the government asserts the frequency of Epstein's payments and the fact that the vast majority of account activity was payments to women and cash withdrawals rather than business activity should have been enough to trigger action

40:02the motion states yeah there's checks and balances that are supposed to be in place at a financial institution to stop shit like this from happening but when you have everybody in on it all the bosses all the head honchos well what are you going to do yet even as late as May 2013 mirror months before jp morgan terminated Epstein's account jp morgan provided lines of credit to Epstein of up to 50 million dollars it says the motion also offers additional details regarding staleys communications with Epstein in an email it says the married father of two daughters sent to Epstein on November 1st 2009 when Epstein was incarcerated and staleys was presumably visiting little St. James he wrote so when all hell breaks loose and the world is crumbling I will come here and be at peace presently I'm in the hot tub with a glass of white wine this is an amazing place truly amazing next time we're together I owe you much and I deeply appreciate our friendship I have

41:07few that are so profound and imagine this idiot Jess daily is trying to distance himself bro you wrote this email nobody snuck into your house stole your blackberry and popped off this email please stop with the bullshit on December 4th 2009 staleys told Epstein via email I realized the danger in sending the email but it was great to be able today to give it to you in New York City a long heartfelt hug according to the motion imagine I don't know you very well but I can't wait to come to your island and I can't wait to hug you and thank you so much for everything Jeffrey give me a break the next day Epstein wrote to staleys you were with Larry and I had to put up with and attach the picture of a young woman staleys quipped don't tell me a french wine Epstein always thoughts of alcohol the motion states and that's funny he says he was he was with Larry huh I'm guessing Larry summers on December 20th 2009 the government says Epstein sent an email to staleys

42:10that was blank except for a picture of a young woman on January 15th 2010 staleys emailed Epstein referring to little St James arrived at your harbor someday we have to do this together according to the motion in July 2010 staleys sent an email to Epstein saying maybe they're tracking you that was fun say hi to snow white the motion states Epstein responded what character would you like next when staleys said beauty in the beast Epstein replied well one side is available both JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank have denied wrongdoing with JP Morgan stating that the vi government claims against it strain credulity look we all know what those emails meant come on and we all know that just staleys according to his own words in these emails was enjoying the fruits of Jeffrey Epstein's disgusting enterprise so just staleys your bitch ass is now on the clock

43:12all right folks that's going to do it for this one all of the information that goes with the episode can be found in the description box what's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles the bear knuckle brawl down in the US Virgin Islands is in full swing with the US Virgin Islands itself being accused of enabling Jeffrey Epstein by giving him favorable business deals and looking the other way while he was conducting his disgusting business for decades however it's not just the US Virgin Islands here that's being called on the carpet it's also JP Morgan and the US Virgin Islands has released some new exhibits detailing JP Morgan's ties to Jeffrey Epstein so let's dive into this article from the st. Thomas source and let's see where things currently stand headline vi releases new exhibits detailing JP Morgan's Epstein ties

44:14this article was authored by Cian Cobb new exhibits filed Tuesday in the Virgin Island government's lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase reveal how the bank's top brass continued to court Jeffrey Epstein for his ties to some of the world's wealthiest individuals even as its compliance arm warned that he was a growing threat and when you have the compliance department telling you that this isn't somebody we should be doing business with you should probably listen to the compliance department that's what they're there for right their job is to make sure that we're in compliance with all of the state and federal laws that we have to be in compliance with unless of course your boss just daily comes down and tells you hey you know what look the other way here let's act like this never happened there's no way that Epstein suspicious look at all the monies bringing in and all that bad stuff they say it's all rumor Jeffies are great guy the exhibits include a June 7th letter to Judge Jed Raycoff of Manhattan federal court

45:17that was previously filed under seal seeking to allow the vi attorney general's office to reopen depositions in light of information it received after questioning key witnesses in the case including JP Morgan's billionaire CEO Jamie Diamond Raycoff on Friday denied that motion and on Tuesday the government unsealed 10 exhibits offering a closer look at JP Morgan's relationship with Epstein the wealthy financier pedophile who died by a parent suicide in August of 2019 while in custody in New York on federal child sex trafficking charges his primary residence was little saying James his private island the state insane Thomas and if you were getting all kinds of financial benefits for setting up shops somewhere wouldn't you go there to we're getting reports now that Epstein received up to 300 million dollars in tax incentives from the US Virgin Islands so if you were getting those sorts of tax incentives and they were going to rewrite or try to rewrite the offenders law for

46:22you why wouldn't you want to set up shop down on this island he knew that his great wealth could be harnessed into a powerful tool in a place like little saying James and insane Thomas where there's poverty wherever there is vulnerable people to exploit you know that somebody like Epstein won't be far behind the government's complaint filed December 27th in Manhattan federal court claims JP Morgan violated the federal trafficking victims protection act and its services to Epstein whom it kept as a client even after his 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for prostitution in Florida the case is scheduled for trial on October 23rd and I don't think they're going to settle like I've said before from the very beginning I think that JP Morgan is ready to go to the mattresses here they believe that US Virgin Islands should share some of the responsibility and they don't believe that they should be paying one single cent to the US Virgin Islands you notice how quickly

47:22they paid out the survivors right they knew that wasn't a winning proposition this however they feel like they can fight it and every single time the US Virgin Islands has unleashed a new document that says that JP Morgan is in bed with Epstein or was in bed with Epstein we see the same thing by JP Morgan talking about the US Virgin Islands being complicit with what he was up to and then the rest of us are sitting around saying to ourselves as both of you keep firing off salvo after salvo all you're doing is further strengthening everyone's belief that you all knew so as these two parties wage all out war looking to destroy each other what they're really doing is exposing themselves for the scoundrel ass scuzzballs that they are and I know that none of you out there listening needed to know that you didn't need a refresher course on how scummy the financial sector is but for the people who don't follow the case closely who might just be learning about it while they're getting a

48:23whole last face full at just how scummy the biggest bank in the United States is Jeffrey Epstein connected JP Morgan Chase's executives with some of the world's most high profile and wealthy individuals the VI Attorney General's office said in a statement following Tuesday's filing the US VI's can plan alleges that in return for bringing valuable new clients into the bank JP Morgan Chase through its senior executives including Mary Erdos ignored the evidence of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and traded victims public safety for its own profits what have they been listening to the podcast because that's been my mantra here from the jump all of these people the US Virgin Islands as well have put profits over people so it's hypocritical at best to see them say that in a filing friends in high places according to the government's filing Epstein offered JP Morgan access to such high profile individuals as Prince Andrew of Great Britain Microsoft founder

49:27Bill Gates American billionaire and private equity investor Leon Black former US presidential advisor David Gergen Israeli general and politician Ahud Barak Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the children of former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating Lord Peter Mandelson of the British government the Agnelli family of Fiat Motor Company fame and the ruling shakes of Kuwait, Buran Dubai and the United Arab Emirates among many others meanwhile employees with the bank's compliance arm were sounding alarms that Epstein was under federal investigation for child sex trafficking which was drawing press attention and that the bank should drop him as a client according to the filings when I worked at the sports book the second compliance got involved and they told us that there was a player that was a risk that player was gone it didn't matter how much money that player was betting or what he was up to or anything like that the second you

50:31become a risk and put the company's bottom line in jeopardy you have to be let go of as a client and if the institution continues to do business with you even though they know that you're risky and you're somebody that can client says shouldn't even have an account well then that company who's doing business with you should be held liable for whatever comes after it and while J.P. Morgan hasn't admitted any wrongs they certainly paid out $290 million right in recognition of their bullshit processes and they've also recognized the fact that Jess Staley who was Mr. Goldenboy over at J.P. Morgan was great friends with Epstein was facilitating Epstein and according to reports abused girls or at least one girl with Epstein meanwhile he was an employee of J.P. Morgan this whole entire time so while Jess Staley certainly shoulders a big part of the blame here to act like J.P. Morgan had no idea what was going on and that they were blindsided by all of this

51:35is just ridiculous they knew all these executives were talking they were all talking about how bad Epstein was you had compliance telling them that Epstein shouldn't be a client and they continued on doing business with Epstein because it was putting some more money in their pockets that's just the bottom line that's cutting away all the fat and all of the bullshit and just getting right down to it it was all about more profits and getting richer Dave Roberts here there you are surrounded by fans sharing wings sharing drinks high-fiving random strangers everybody remembers the game nobody remembers the guy coughing behind you until a few days later at 2 a.m. you wake up with the fever and your throats on fire now what urgent care close ER slam telehealth maybe but the pharmacy's close you needed a medical emergency kit these aren't first aid kits they contain essential prescriptions used for over 30 common conditions sinus and ear infection UTIs stomach bug travelers diarrhea and more on hand before you need them user doctor developed guidebook to select the

53:42was actively involved in the business of jp morgan particularly through stale JP Morgan and March filed a third party lawsuit against daily alleging he thwarted its efforts to sever ties with Epstein and should pay if the vi government prevails in its suit rake off in April denied stale's motion to dismiss the suit and jp morgan is really going hard here saying that it was all just daily's fault all of the blame is on him meanwhile jp morgan and the bosses above just daily could have put a stop to this at any point in time they didn't so not only is it just stale's fault it's also the fault of the people that were above him there needs to be accountability from top to bottom according to the project jeep summary the pair had a close relationship with stale maintaining communications even while Epstein was serving time in florida on the child prostitution charges stale consult at Epstein on everything from his compensation package and his dealings with

54:47the federal reserve to the bank's real estate portfolio and his promotion to CEO of investment banking in 2009 to asset acquisitions and jp morgan's forays into china according to the exhibit in an october 2009 email Epstein wrote to stale feel free to call often it is difficult for the quarterback to see the playing field that's why he calls up to the box egg dick making football references cracks me up you know this dude ain't never strapped on a helmet bro has never ran a route across the center of the field and got lit up by a linebacker shut up with the football references and stick to shit you know like stealing and molesting people a few days later you wrote to stale my suggestion your first great move should be a new china initiative first it was alternative investments now china you should have a dedicated china entity with its own board of advisors should include china pop out politicos they love to travel you should be their link to

55:50treasury or can issue credit the false swaps for their investment in the us and you can ask treasury to be the third party just an example brilliant stale replied imagine being the head of the division over here at jp morgan and needing advice from egg dick epstein epstein went on to organize the tutorial for stale on doing business in china according to the summary and wrote an extensive email laying out the steps for jp morgan to expanded business in the country down to details surrounding the culture office locations and suggestions for approaching government officials epstein giving advice on how to approach government officials i wonder why you do that he's never been in bed with any government officials right right epstein also suggested stale might want to approach abudabi and say as a key player in the world financial system you will advise them for

56:52free if and only if they decide to implement your advice sale of assets that's how you'll be compensated just an idea yeah but epstein wasn't involved at any kind of money laundering right no need for rico here i'm just you know way off base with the whole entire rico run a day later on november 29th 2009 stale forwarded epstein what appeared to be an internal email regarding discussions with senior officials in the dubae and abudabi departments of finance according to the summary today's later epstein wrote to stale the first most elegant deal that you can do is to have china buy dubae world ports they want turnkey operations where they can use their worldwide construction companies for building would be a first great deal for the new cio of the i b a close friendship on december 3rd 2009 stale wrote to epstein i realized the danger in sending this email but it was great to be able today to give you in new york city a long

57:58heartfelt hug to my friend thanks chess according to the summary it appears that at the time epstein was not permitted to leave the state of florida based on the terms of his sentence which provides context to the preface of stale's email the relationship extended to the u.s virgin islands which stale appears to have visited with some frequency including on his saleboat bequeue according to court filings on december 26th 2009 he wrote to epstein fun tonight what do we do next epstein replied my car and driver former de armed will pick you up in st. Thomas we have all the on field permits helicopter also available for a tour around remember i own the two big marinas yacht haven grand in st. Thomas and the marina at redhook you can use my a tv's jet ski gym etc i will organize the harbor at normand island if you like as well as lunch at guana on january 14th 2010 stale

59:01wrote to epstein arrived at your harbor someday we'll have to do this together by march 5th 2011 as news of investigations and epstein was taking hold in the press he emailed stale more bad press ignore it stale replied the post epstein replied no english papers have gone berserk claiming fbi reopening investigation not true publishing a phone book that is not mine but was stolen by my house man currently in prison for doing so so he was trying to get out in front of the story and sending all of these absurd emails like he wasn't involved in any of this and mr big shot mr smartest man in the room just stale sucked it all up the same day stale wrote to epstein that he and his wife were talking tonight about what you have meant to me and to redacted you have paid a price for what has been accused but we know that you have done for us and we count you as one of our deepest friends and most honest of people thanks just epstein replied now keep in mind that

1:00:05stale told us that him and epstein were just acquaintances remember they weren't close they were in buddies and it was just all a big misunderstanding if you will well that's not the case we know how close they are and we know how close they were and the fact that just stale lied about something like that tells us everything we need to know about the rest of its story three days later vanity fair published an article about epstein and his one time girlfriend and a accomplice glaine maxwell who was currently serving a 20 year sentence for her role in his sex trafficking scheme trouble on the horizon beginning in 2011 stalean urdos were having regular communications with epstein relating to certain strategic initiatives and business proposals including a donor advised fund involving bill gates that he proposed could be worth two billion within two years according to the exhibit meanwhile employees with jp morgan's compliance arm

1:01:05held a rapid response meeting in early january of 2011 regarding epstein and were conducting a review of the bank's relationship with them amid reports that he was under investigation for allegedly trafficking young girls according to emails imagine you're in the middle of doing this review and you get all of this information and you still don't cut ties with them and this is after he's already been an offender again epstein's personal friendship with stale was at the center of the discussion he is also an alleged personal associate of the CEO of the investment bank just stale the email from philip de luca then managing director for the banks financial intelligence unit to two other employees started at the money laundering operations went to a pb risk meeting late last week requesting that we exit this relationship it said in a meeting that was a range with stale to discuss the banks recent human trafficking initiative with them says it right there

1:02:08he was laundering money through jp morgan we all know this the whole world knows it how is it that nobody's ever been slapped in connection with that it was more than two years before the bank severed its ties with that steen though it kept closed tabs on his activity as a high risk private bank customer including annual reviews according to two exhibits detailing conversations in 2012 and 2013 jp morgan has called the vi government suit masterclass in deflection key to their argument is the fact that the vi government through its economic development commission granted epstein lucrative tax and other benefits during the same period that it is accusing jp morgan chase of helping further the wealthy financier pedophiles sex trafficking scheme the bank intends that having won a 105 million dollar settlement and its lawsuit against epstein's estate in November the vi attorney general's office now casts a field for deeper pockets and i don't disagree with

1:03:12that i've said that for a while that the us virgin islands and the way they're going about their business here is just straight up ridiculous but that doesn't mean jp morgan should be on the hook either they should be on june 12th jp morgan asked the court to order the government to withdraw confidentiality designations over public records it produced in response to the bank's document request on friday judge rakeoff granted that request ordering the us vi to de designate as confidential the annual reports filed by epstein's companies to the us vi as well as his sex offender file i find it fascinating that in the effort to burn each other to the ground jp morgan and the us virgin islands are exposing a lot of the corruption within the us virgin islands and jp morgan itself and while they battle tooth and nail over a settlement here i think that overall they're doing

1:04:15more harm to themselves than they could possibly imagine and they're opening the door to other people namely the survivors to getting involved and filing suit as well and my guess is before the october trial date there's going to be plenty more twist turns and curves for us to navigate all right folks that's going to do it for this one all of the information that goes with the episode can be found in the description box davor obert here there you are surrounded by fans sharing wings sharing drinks high-fiving random strangers everybody remembers the game nobody remembers the guy coughing behind you until a few days later at two a.m you wake up with the fever and your throats on fire now what urgent care close er slam telehealth maybe but the pharmacies close you needed a medical emergency kit these aren't first aid kits they contain essential prescriptions used for over 30 common conditions sinus and ear infection uti stomach bug travelers diarrhea and more on hand before you need them use your doctor develop guidebook to select the
