SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 18 –
J.P. Morgan
Chase and
Deutsche Bank
were sued for
their enabling
of Jeffrey
Epstein, in
lawsuits filed
on
Thanksgiving
in the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York,
where Inner
City Press
found them in
the docket.
The separate
lawsuits
allege that
"without
exorbitantly
large amounts
of cash,
Epstein's
operations
could not run,
as newly
recruited
victims were
each paid
hundreds of
dollars in
cash
immediately
after Epstein
sexually
abused them,
as hush
money."
The
JPM Chase
complaint is
on Patreon, here.
On March
20, 2023 Judge
Jed S.
Rakoff in a
bottom line
order
dismissed some
but not
all claims,
in the Epstein-related
cases against
JPMC and Deutsche
Bank.
Inner
City Press put
the order on
its
DocumentCloud
here.
On April 18,
after a telephone
conference
without
transcription,
Judge Rakoff ordered:
" proceedings
held before
Judge Jed S.
Rakoff:
Telephone
Conference
held on
4/18/2023,
without
transcription
or recording.
Counsel for
Jane Doe, the
Government of
the United
States Virgin
Islands, JP
Morgan, and
Jes Staley
were present.
Jamie Dimon
should be set
aside two days
for his
deposition. On
the first day,
plaintiffs
will have the
opportunity to
depose Mr.
Dimon for a
combined total
of five hours.
Mr. Staley
will have the
opportunity to
depose Mr.
Dimon for two
hours. If, at
the end of the
first day, any
party believes
that it needs
more time to
depose Mr.
Dimon, it must
convene a
joint call to
Chambers by no
later than
5:00 PM to
explain why.
The Court will
then rule as
to whether Mr.
Dimons
deposition
should
continue for a
second day
and, if so,
for how long."
Will that call
be open
to the press
and public?

Substack here.
US Virgin
Islands filed
its second
amended
complaint, including
that " a JP
Morgan Rapid
Response Team
noted that
Epstein 'routinely'
made cash
withdrawals in
amounts from
$40,000 to
$80,000
several times
per month,
totaling over
$750,000 per
year."
Complaint and
more on
Patreon here.
On
April 6, Jes
Staley asked
to sever his
case. Full
letter on
Patreon here.
On
April 10 Judge
Rakoff denied
the
motions to
sever.
