SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 9 –
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.
The USVI asked
for discovery
from Jaime
Dimon; JPM
Chase opposed
it. On
March 9, Judge
Jed S.
Rakoff granted
the motion, rejecting
the so-called
apex
doctrine defense.
We'll have
more on this.
On March
7, 2023 JPM
Chase filed a
third party
complaint
against James
Edward Staley,
including
"While JPMC
held
discussions
regarding
Epstein,
Staley was
apparently in
regular
contact with
Epstein.
However,
Staley never
disclosed to
anyone at JPMC
that he had
witnessed, was
aware of, or
participated
in any of the
activities
described in
paragraphs 22
through 33.
35. In 2013,
JPMC
“terminated
its
relationship
with Epstein.”
Ex. B, ¶ 50.
36. At no
point did
Staley
disclose to
JPMC, nor did
JPMC otherwise
know, the
information
about Staley’s
personal
activities
contained in
paragraphs 22
through 33.
37. Staley did
not disclose
this
information
despite having
a fiduciary
duty to do so
and JPMC
asking him to
offer his
views as to
whether JPMC
should retain
Epstein as a
client. 38.
Even upon his
departure from
JPMC, and in
spite of his
explicit
affirmation
that he had
reported to
JPMC any
violations of
the Code of
Conduct,
Staley did not
disclose to
JPMC the
information
about his
personal
activities
contained in
paragraphs 22
through 33.
39." Full
