Mega Edition: The USVI And The Amended Lawsuit Filed By The Survivors (9/5/26)
About this episode
Six Epstein survivors, proceeding as Jane Does 1 through 6, filed an amended class-action lawsuit accusing the Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands and a group of current and former territorial officials of helping turn the islands into a safe haven for Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking operation. The second amended complaint, filed in May 2024, named the USVI government along with figures including former First Lady Cecile de Jongh, former governors John de Jongh and Kenneth Mapp, former Attorney General Vincent Frazer, former senators Celestino White and Carlton Dowe, and Delegate Stacey Plaskett. The survivors alleged that Epstein’s ability to operate for years in the territory was not simply the product of individual failures, but of a broader system of political access, favorable treatment and institutional protection that allowed him to bring women and girls to the islands and abuse them there. Their claims included allegations under federal trafficking law and other civil theories, and they argued that officials who knew about Epstein’s status as a convicted sex offender nevertheless helped create an environment in which his operation could continue.
What followed was a major court battle over whether those allegations could actually survive against the territorial government and the individual officials. The defendants moved aggressively to dismiss, challenging the legal sufficiency of the claims, immunity issues, statutes of limitation and whether the complaint adequately connected particular officials to Epstein’s trafficking. In March 2025, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian largely sided with the defense, dismissing the claims against the USVI and every named defendant except Stacey Plaskett. The ruling did not declare that Epstein had operated without help in the Virgin Islands; rather, it found that most of the survivors’ legal claims, as pleaded, could not proceed against those defendants under the applicable standards. The litigation therefore became a sharp example of the difference between a disturbing factual history and what plaintiffs can successfully prove against specific government actors in court: the survivors alleged an entire territorial ecosystem helped Epstein function, while the defendants fought to narrow the case person by person and claim by claim until almost all of it was thrown out.

What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. As the lawsuit in the United States Virgin Islands continues to make its way through the system, we continue to get updates via court filings. And now the United States Virgin Islands has filed an amended lawsuit against JP Morgan and Chase. So let's get into this article from Kate Bricklet over at the Daily Beast and let's see what's going on. Headline JP Morgan executives joked about Epstein's interest in young girls, according to the lawsuit. Well, that should shock nobody. The financial sector is populated with a bunch of scumbags. So it should shock nobody when they're talking about your daughters or your sister or your friends with such disregard. And the sad part is all of these people, the so-called elite, the so-called upper crust, they all feel the same way. All those people that you're out there cheering on and carrying on
about and yelling at your family about and your friends over politics, breaking news, none of those people like you and it always reminds me of that part in Bronx Tale where Sonny's talking to see about Mickey Mantle and they're talking about how you know C's favorite player is Mickey Mantle and how C was all bummed out because they made Mickey Mantle cry. Well, Sonny says Mickey Mantle, that's what you're upset about. Mantle makes a hundred grand a year. How much does your father make? If your dad ever can't pay the rent and needs money, go ask Mickey Mantle, see what happens. Mickey Mantle don't care about you. Why should you care about him? Nobody cares. And that analogy certainly holds true for all of these politicians. In its legal battle with JP Morgan, the government of the US Virgin Islands claims the investment bank obstructed authorities investigating convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and says its executives knew more about Epstein's activities than they've previously disclosed. Well,
what do you know? What have I been telling you folks for, oh, I don't know, four years now? That the financial sector smells like absolute horseshit and everything going on in the financial sector that had to do with Epstein should have been under scrutiny and should have been recode, but they never did it. So now all of a sudden we're talking about the financials again and they're rearing their ugly head and it's once again shining an ugly light on the SDNY and the prosecutor's office in New York. I mean, how long did Sy Vance have to go after Epstein? How long did the SDNY have to go after Epstein? How long did the New York State's prosecutor's office have to go after Epstein in general? And none of them did it, but now all of a sudden this is being disclosed and presented as something new. Everybody who's been following this case knew what was going on as far as the financial sector and the way they were enabling Epstein throughout
this whole entire thing. The bank's conduct has led to serious harm for women and girls in the Caribbean territory, the Virgin Islands contend in the suit. On Monday, the territory's attorney general officially asked to amend its lawsuit against JP Morgan to include one count of obstruction of enforcement of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. The latest complaint includes new accusations about what the bank and executives, including Mary Erdos, knew about Epstein, though much of those claims are redacted. Erdos, CEO of the bank's asset and wealth management division, was deposed in the Virgin Islands case last month. Jess Staley, Epstein's close friend, and JP Morgan's former head of private bank and JP Morgan, CEO Jamie Diamond, were also reportedly scheduled for under-oath interviews. According to the amended complaint, JP Morgan employees and senior
executives had emailed internally that Epstein was under investigation or had been sued for Trafficking or sexual abuse during the course of the bank's relationship with the perverted financier. Epstein had a relationship with JP Morgan from 1998 to 2013, including the period during which he pleaded guilty to soliciting an underage girl and served jail time in Florida in 2008. And what those emails show is that the whole entire story about how it was all Jess Staley's fault, how Jess Staley's the only one involved here? Well, that story gets blown out of the water when we get these emails. It's kind of like everybody trying to blame a Costa, right? Sure, a Costa shoulders his portion of the blame, but he's not the only guy that should be blamed for what happened and the same goes for Jess Staley. He is a disgusting, disgusting human being, but JP Morgan
Chase and the boss is over there. They have to take their share as well. What, they're not going to take their lumps. The buck stops with them. They're the ones in charge. Staley wasn't running the whole company was he? So he has a boss and that guy has a boss and so on. So it has to go all the way to the top as far as I'm concerned and going after Jamie Diamond while I don't think he had anything to do with what was going on with the day to day as far as Epstein's concerned to act like he had no idea who Epstein is is just laughable at best. Internal emails also questioned who Epstein's clients were, the filing states. Indeed Epstein's behavior was so widely known at JP Morgan that senior executives joked about Epstein's interest in young girls. The document sites, a 2008 email that Erdo's received, though it redacts what the sender had allegedly asked her. JP Morgan had information that it knew was directly relevant to the federal investigation
of Epstein suspected trafficking, including Epstein's payments to Eastern European women that can plan states and we know he loved them Eastern European women. Going by women from war torn countries, countries that are poor, you know, anywhere that he could exploit the vulnerable. And unfortunately there are people on this planet who are so disgustingly gross. They'll sell their own children to people like Jean-Luc Brunel so that they can be gifted to somebody like Jeffrey Epstein. And these bankers think that's funny. The financial sector, they're laughing at you, not just over this, but over the fact that you're willing to pay 26.5% for that hoop-de-ass car you just bought too. They're laughing about that as well. Believe me when I tell you. Meanwhile, the lawsuit alleges JP Morgan was well aware that Epstein had pleaded guilty and served prison time for engaging in sex with a minor. A crime closely connected was sex trafficking and violation of the TVPA. JP Morgan was well aware that there were public allegations that
is illegal conduct was facilitated by several named co-conspirators. The filing continues, but JP Morgan concealed from the federal government its numerous cash payments to those co-conspirators. And also, let's not forget the structuring. We know that there was a lot of structuring going on within the Epstein enterprise. So I'm guessing that was happening at JP Morgan in some form as well. JP Morgan continued its affirmative conduct of allowing Epstein to access cash so that he could make those cash payments to his co-conspirators with knowledge that such cash transactions did not produce a clear paper trail. That's the whole point. They want to make sure that this money's untraceable. What they want to pay taxes? You think they care about April 15th, April 18th this year, but you think they give a shit about tax time? They're not going to have any liability, but you better make sure you report that handbag you sold on Etsy. The US Virgin Islands argues that the investment
bank allowed Epstein and his associates to make large withdrawals of cash so that his sex trafficking ring would escape the detection of federal law enforcement and prosecuting agencies. The Territories Attorney General sued JP Morgan in December, weeks after two survivors of Epstein filed lawsuits against the financial giant and Deutsche Bank. The plaintiffs in the trio of related cases argue the bank's profited off of Epstein's trafficking scheme. Well, they're not wrong. They certainly did. Everybody had their hand in the pie. Everybody was getting rich and everybody was benefiting off of the ill-gotten gains of Mr. Scumbag McGee. Last week, the Attorney General issued subpoenas to several wealthy men for communications related to the bank and Epstein. The Wall Street Journal reported that the group included Google billionaire, Surgy Bryn, Hayato Tell's executive chairman, Thomas Pritzker, media and real estate billionaire,
Mortimer Zuckerman, and former talent agent Michael Ovitz. JP Morgan Chase has denied any wrong doing in connection to Epstein and sought to have the lawsuit dismissed. A federal judge, however, ruled that the cases can proceed. In a motion to dismiss, the bank called the US Virgin Islands complaint a masterclass in deflection that seeks to hold JPMC responsible for not slewthing out Epstein's crimes over a decade ago. Yet, USVI had access at the time to the same information, allegations and rumors about Epstein on which it alleges JPMC should have acted. The bank's attorney stated in the filing, indeed, as a law enforcement agency, USVI had access to much more, along with the investigative advantage of physical proximity to Epstein's crimes. And look, they're not wrong about that. I've said that from the beginning about the US Virgin Islands. I know there's people out here that think the US Virgin Islands is
doing a great job and all of that. And great, fine. I'll certainly acknowledge that getting these people to sit down for depositions is fantastic. But their motivations, let's be clear, are all financial. The US Virgin Islands is hoping to get more money out of all of this. And I would think that if the US Virgin Islands was serious, we would see not just civil charges here, but we'd see criminal charges as well. And so far, we haven't seen any of that. So as far as that's concerned, the bank is not wrong. But two things can be wrong at the same time. And I think that's certainly the case here. And in my opinion, anyway, both entities, the US Virgin Islands and JP Morgan, were both complicit in enabling Jeffrey Epstein. 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. Welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. The US Virgin Islands is looking to amend their lawsuit against JP Morgan.
And they're looking to add an obstruction charge to the other allegations that they have already leveled at the banking giant. So today, we have an article from the St. 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 Islands seeks new charge against JP Morgan over Epstein dealings. This article was authored by Cian Cobb. 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 of the Federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act in its business dealings with the late disgraced financier pedophile Jeffrey 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 Diamond's doing right now. Just look at what Jess Staley'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 Deutsche Bank. And that's the end goal for Epstein's estate. They don't want any of the 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 parent's patriotic 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 sued 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. Nobody'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 government's complaint and another brought by an anonymous Epstein survivor, Jane Doe No. 1, 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. Raycoff. And we know that Judge Raycoff 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 concerning Epstein, his accounts and Staley's close relationship with the wealthy financier, pedophile, a convicted sex offender whose primary residence was Little St. 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 jail cell 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 as 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. Staley exchanged 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 USVI's complaints. The V.I. government has alleged that those emails included photos of young women in provocative poses, discussed Epstein's provision of services to Staley during his travel to Little St. 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 vile right? Let's use the name of princesses from Little Kid stories you bunch of sick disgusting degenerates. For his part, Staley 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 week and how the US Virgin Islands they don't want the trial split. They want just daily and JP Morgan on the hook together at the same time. A case for a second count. In an order on March 20th, judge Reikov said count one of the Virgin Island government's 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 Siko and another under the territories consumer fraud and deceptive business practices act. In its motion the file a second amended complaint on Monday the V.I. 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 to see them hit some pay dirt because the courts and judges well they love precedent and with judge Reikov 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 complaint well that's how it works when new information is provided we go back and we amend dark complaint I don't see JP Morgan having any kind of tenable ground here to defend what they're saying. The U.S. V.I. 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 U.S. V.I. lawsuit against Epstein's 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 JPMC was in the process of explaining to us V.I. why those dismissed allegations lacked merit when it was sued by Jane though one for alleged violations of the TVPA and now a consolidated case. U.S. V.I. 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 U.S. V.I. once again tries to jump on the ban wagon this is an inordinate delay for which U.S. V.I. 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 Raykov is going to allow it to move forward at the very least U.S. V.I. should have sought leave to amend immediately after January 13th 2023 when though asserted her claim alleging obstruction of the TVPA yet U.S. V.I. inexplicably waited months while JPMC's motion to dismiss was briefed and argued before it
sought to assert its copycat claim. Indeed U.S. V.I. waited to piggyback on those obstruction claim until the courts denial of JPMC's motion to dismiss that count in though. U.S. V.I. 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 issue here and the issue is JP Morgan was financially backing Jeffrey Epstein and they were enabling his bullshit. The V.I. government asserts in its 43 page motion that because the additional claim is based on the same alleged facts in its first amended complaint it does not either require JP Morgan 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 SICO claim but upholding those TVPA obstruction claim it asks JP Morgan's consent to amend to inform its remaining TVPA claim with those remaining TVPA claims based on the same fact allegations. The bank refused it said so the USVI 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 JP Morgan cannot show prejudice according to the government's memorandum of law in support of the second amended complaint. So it's going to be a back and forth affair 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 the government's latest motion while still heavily redacted contains some new information including JP Morgan's 2011 review of Epstein's accounts that noted a few new stories during 2010 connects Jeffrey Epstein to human trafficking. The coverage team all met to discuss the situation and agreed to enhance monitoring and documented discussion with the client. They called on none other than Staley to do so according to the motion who discussed the topic with Jeffrey Epstein who replied there was no truth to the allegations no evidence and was not expecting any problems. We will continue to monitor the accounts and cash usage closely going forward. Yeah, they did a good job at that, huh? Considering all of these alleged victims and survivors got 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 2011, 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, Deutsche 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 2011 flagged an account relating to Golan Maxwell, Epstein's former companion, co-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 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 flagged her 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. The 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, mere months before JP Morgan terminated Epstein's account, JP Morgan provided lines of credit to Epstein, about the $50 million it says, the motion also offers additional details regarding Staley's 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 Staley 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 few that are so profound and imagine this idiot Jess Staley 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, Staley told Epstein via email, I realized the danger in sending this 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 Staley, you were with Larry and I had to put up with and attach the picture of a young woman, Staley quipped, don't tell me a French wine. Epstein replied, always thoughts of alcohol, the motion states, and that's funny. He says he was with Larry, huh? I'm guessing Larry Summers. On December 20th, 2009, the government says Epstein sent an email to Staley, that was blank, except for a picture of a young woman. On January 15th, 2010, Staley emailed Epstein, referring to Little St. James, arrived at your
harbor some day, we have to do this together, according to the motion. In July, 2010, Staley 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 Staley 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 V.I. government claims against it, strain, credulity. Look, we all know what those emails meant. Come on. And we all know that just Staley, according to his own words in these emails, was enjoying the fruits of Jeffrey Epstein's disgusting enterprise. So, Jeff Staley, your bitch ass is now on the clock. Hi folks, it'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.
In this episode, we're going to talk a little more about the JP Morgan lawsuit down in the United States Virgin Islands and how JP Morgan knew that Jeffrey Epstein purchased a 14 year old girl and paid her 600 grand. Not only that, he also had her housed in the building on 66th Street down in Manhattan. And we all know what was going on in that building from countless people who lived through it. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who they're talking about when they're talking about a 14 year old girl who was sold to Jeffrey Epstein. We all know that that's Nadia Marcincova and we all know the tragedy of her tale. And obviously JP Morgan knew as well. So today's article is from the inside edition and the headline lawsuit alleges JP Morgan knew Jeffrey Epstein reportedly bought and housed a 14 year old girl and he paid her 600 grand. This article was authored by Chris Spargo. The complaint filed in connection with a
lawsuit against JP Morgan by the attorney general of the US Virgin Islands alleges that at least 20 individuals paid through JP Morgan accounts were victims of trafficking and sexual assault. Well, that was the account that Epstein was using to piece people off their hush money after he was done abusing them have them signed, you know, maybe an NDA or whatever, but in most cases, it was just a payoff. And then Epstein would use that as his cover. Oh, there were prostitutes. I paid them. So there were prostitutes. What are you talking about? I didn't traffic anybody. And the sad part is there's some people out there that actually bought that shit news articles about Jeffrey Epstein purchasing a 14 year old girl from Europe were allegedly included in JP Morgan's due diligence reports about the pedophile according to an amended complaint filed in connection with a lawsuit against the bank by lawyers for the US Virgin Islands. The complain alleges that executives at JP Morgan should have known that the girl lived in a property owned by the pedophile.
It then further alleges that the largest bank in the country transferred over $600,000 from accounts controlled by Epstein into the girl's own personal JP Morgan account. And the reason that her account was at JP Morgan as well is so that they could control what was going on completely and to end encryption basically right from one end to the other from our bank to our bank just two different clients and will keep everything nice and uniformed. And for years they were able to get away with it. They were able to get away with all of these transfers to these different accounts that were being held by JP Morgan and overseen by Jess Staley like other women who received payments from Epstein Jane Doe 1 listed Epstein's apartment on 66th Street in New York City as her address which should have been a red flag to JP Morgan reads the complaint obtained by Inside Edition Digital. Lawyers for the US Virgin Islands filed a civil lawsuit against JP Morgan last year writing in
their initial complaint that the company turned the blind eye to evidence of human trafficking over more than a decade because of Epstein's own financial footprint and because of the deals and clients that Epstein brought and promised to bring to the bank. The recently filed amended complaint says that despite news reports identifying this woman as a possible victim of sex trafficking executives at JP Morgan allegedly referred to her in an internal document as Epstein's assistant or young lady he brought over from Prague or someplace like that. And when we're talking about this person it's rather obvious who it is I'm not going to state the name here because it looks like she's the one who is filing this suit as Jane Doe number one. However we did have a ruling from Judge Raycoff saying that the identity of the accuser will be revealed to the lawyers of JP Morgan. So we'll just continue to call her Jane Doe number one until there's something in the public sphere
saying differently. That same internal document allegedly describes charges in New York, Palm Beach and St. Thomas for lingerie and others sexually explicit material according to the complaint. Elsewhere JP Morgan describes media reports referring to the fact that Epstein purchased her at age 14 says the complaint. She remained a customer of JP Morgan and Epstein paid her more than $600,000 from his account at JP Morgan including more than $165,000 after Epstein's plea. And of course that's hush money right he has his plea deal has the non-prosacution agreement drawn up which really shouldn't even include this person because they were a minor who was coerced into all of this for a long time but after that when he has his plea deal and he gets taken care of he starts piecing people off a few bucks as hush money and then in turn he can tell people see I paid them
prostitutes and that was all part of his whack as bunk ass cover story. In court documents JP Morgan says that it lacks knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the allegations and therefore denies the allegations including that any knowledge of the alleged victim residing at an apartment owned by Epstein should have been a red flag. In response to the $600,000 payment a lawyer for JP Morgan states that the allegation characterizes the contents of documents and respectfully refers to the court to those documents for a complete and accurate recitation of their contents. The complaint also alleges that top executives at the company were aware that Epstein had been convicted of soliciting an underage concerns about the risks that Epstein posed were well known. Enough that numerous JP Morgan senior executives met in various groupings in July and October
of 2008 January 2011 August 2011 and July 2013. The complaint claims so they met all these times about Jeffrey Epstein but nothing was ever done and they had no idea who he was. That's what they want everybody to think and that's the narrative that they're going to try and craft. The problem for them is well the problem for them is all of you and how none of you are going to buy the bullshit that they're trying to sell you. That's what it really comes down to. Nobody's buying the narratives that have been carefully maintained and manicured by these people for all of these decades anymore. They can plain identify several executives by name but does not elaborate on what each individual allegedly knew or discussed in the meetings mentioned. Government of the US Virgin Islands vs. JP Morgan the second amended complaint. The newly amended complaint further alleges that members of the firm facilitated or participated in directly or indirectly the
trafficking enterprise Epstein helmed. The investigation revealed that JP Morgan knowingly, negligently and unlawfully provided and pulled the levers through which recruiters and victims were paid and was indispensable to the operation and concealment of the Epstein trafficking enterprise. They're not wrong and there's a lot of other people who were involved as well but unfortunately nobody wants to drop a rico on these fools and get a full accounting of what happened. Imagine if they did can you imagine what that day would look like down at the SDNY all of these idiots being perp walked in wearing some handcuffs some nice sparkly jewelry and then unfortunately we'd have to wake up from our collective mushroom trip that we were on because that's never going to happen in the real world. More specifically the complaint alleges that Epstein paid large sums of money to a number of female victims and enablers through his JP Morgan accounts. That's all factual. The complaint alleges that at least 20 individuals paid through JP Morgan accounts
were victims of trafficking and sexual assault in Little St. James, New York and or other Epstein properties. You notice they never talk about New Mexico? That's a big tell right there folks. The fact that they never talk about New Mexico means we should be talking about New Mexico because 100% without a doubt some vile shit happened in New Mexico on the property of that Zorro ranch. The complaint does not name any of these alleged victims or the alleged enablers who receive payments with the exception of Glenn Maxwell who the complaint claims received $23 million in the span of just four years from 1999 and 2002. Another woman identified only as a recruiter given immunity through Epstein's non-prosychution agreement received more than $728,000 from Epstein's JP Morgan accounts according to the complaint. My guess is Sarah Kellan Vickers. I can't prove that but that sounds like a nice rounded amount that she'd be asking for for her bullshit as far as
being part of Epstein's scheme and everybody knows she's living that high life isn't she with her race car husband, million dollar condos and the rest of it. JP Morgan began doing business with Epstein as early as 1998 according to the complaint. Managing approximately 55 accounts for him which were worth hundreds of millions of dollars. JP Morgan parted with Epstein in 2013 keeping him on as a client for five years after he pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor in the state of Florida according to the complaint. Epstein was arrested in 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking minors in Florida and New York. He was found dead in a jail cell one month after his arrest. A medical examiner ruled his death a suicide. Yeah, we all have our doubts about that, don't we? JP Morgan facilitated and concealed wire and cash transactions that raised the suspicion of and were in fact part of a criminal enterprise whose currency was the sexual servitude of dozens
of women and girls in and beyond the Virgin Islands, the lawsuit filed by the US Virgin Islands alleges. Human trafficking was the principal business of the accounts Epstein maintained at JP Morgan. JP Morgan did not respond to inside-edition digital's request for comment but it is denied any wrongdoing and in an answer to the lawsuit the bank says it did not have any knowledge constructive or otherwise that a person under the age of 18 would be caused to engage in a commercial sex act. That filing also states that JP Morgan did not have knowledge constructive or otherwise that means of force, threats of force, fraud, coercion or any combination of such means would be used to cause any person to engage in a commercial sex act. So that's what they say. That's what JP Morgan says in their answer to this filing but they're going to have to answer in court why all
of these accounts were to kept with JP Morgan and why all of these intra bank transfers weren't monitored, flagged and hit with SARS, they're going to have to answer for all of that and if they can't, well, it's not going to go well for them but we still have quite a bit of a way to go before we get even close to that point in this case. So we'll have to see what the new filings are that come in in the future and we'll have to see how things continue to evolve as we approach the trial date in October. 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.
