Jeffrey Epstein Mug Shot
New revelations have come out concerning JPMorgan Chase’s relationship with the late pedophile and rapist Jeffrey Epstein. In court filings made as part of a civil suit brought against the financial firm by the U.S. Virgin Islands it was alleged that it had more than $1 billion worth of “human trafficking” transactions with Epstein over a 16 year period leading up to his death by suicide in 2019.
JPMorgan Chase has for years now been embroiled in the Epstein scandal. Allegedly, the firm revealed the transactions in a notification given to the U.S. Treasury Department and lawyers for the U.S. Virgin Islands alleged that the money was used as part of Jeffrey Epstein’s nefarious sex trafficking that included underage girls.
CNBC reported that Mimi Liu, an attorney for the Virgin Islands, told Judge Jed Rakoff in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Thursday, “Epstein’s entire business with JPMorgan and JPMorgan’s entire business with Epstein was human trafficking.”

Liu further alleged, “JPMorgan was a full-service bank for Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking.”
“Epstein’s entire business with JPMorgan and JPMorgan’s entire business with Epstein was human trafficking,” she added.
JPMorgan’s lawyer Felicia Ellsworth responded to the allegations saying that the USVI has “not a scintilla” of evidence to show that the firms broke any laws.
The lawsuit brought against JPMorgan Chase by the U.S. Virgin Islands alleges that the bank profited from Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes by handling his finances and charges that JPMorgan should have known that Epstein was engaging in money laundering. JPMorgan Chase officials themselves, however, charged that the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands was the one that enabled Jeffrey Epstein over the years because that is where he committed many of his rapes at his estate there dubbed “pedophile island.”
JPMorgan Chase even said so in a court filing that charged, “He (Epstein) gave them money, advice, influence, and favors. In exchange, they shielded and even rewarded him.”
In June, JPMorgan Chase reached a settlement in different law suit brought by victims of Jeffrey Epstein for $290 million.
