Someone is Following the Money - JPMorgan may face expanded lawsuit over Epstein ties
|
 [Aljazeera] The US Virgin Islands wants to expand its lawsuit accusing JPMorgan Chase & Co of aiding in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking of girls and young women, adding a new obstruction charge and a claim that bank executives joked about the late financier.
In a Monday filing in Manhattan federal court, the territory said Epstein’s behaviour had been "so widely known" at JPMorgan, where he was a client from 2000 to 2013, that senior executives "joked about Epstein’s interest in young girls".
The obstruction charge concerns JPMorgan’s alleged effort to thwart enforcement of a US anti-trafficking law by processing large cash withdrawals for Epstein and his associates, with the "purpose" of helping Epstein evade criminal liability.
Among the beneficiaries of Epstein’s largesse was his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who received more than $23m from 1999 to 2002, the territory said.
JPMorgan did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters after market hours.
The US Virgin Islands needs permission from US District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan to amend its complaint.
Its lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for Epstein’s alleged sexual abuse of young girls and women on Little Saint James, a private island he owned.
The proposed complaint refers to a recent deposition from Mary Erdoes, JPMorgan’s head of asset and wealth management, in heavily redacted form.
Chief Executive Jamie Dimon is expected to be deposed in May. Neither Dimon nor Erdoes has been accused of wrongdoing.
JPMorgan is separately suing Jes Staley, its former private banking chief and later Barclays PLC’s chief executive, for concealing what he knew about Epstein.
