USVI Suing JPMorgan Chase, Accusing Bank of Facilitating Jeffery Epstein's Sex Trafficking Crimes [View all]
After receiving a huge settlement from the estate of Jeffery Epstein, the Virgin Islands is turning its sights on JP Morgan Chase, accusing the bank of facilitating the convicted sex offender’s abuse of women and girls.
USVI Attorney General Denise George alleges that the bank should have known about Epstein’s illegal activity, and as part of its anti-money laundering procedures, should have reported their client to authorities. Instead, George accuses the bank of turning a blind eye to the sex trafficking operations that went on on Epstein’s private island in the USVI, Little St. James.
According to the lawsuit, filed on Tuesday in the federal court in Manhattan New York, “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. Human trafficking was the principal business of the accounts Epstein maintained at JPMorgan.”
JP Morgan has not yet commented on the lawsuit, however reports from a source to the Guardian newspaper are that the disgraced financier’s relationship with the bank ended “long before his ongoing misconduct became known."
