A recent court filing in the US Virgin Islands has exposed the far-reaching influence of financier Jeffrey Epstein. It reveals that Epstein was able to use his connections with politicians, royalty, businesspeople, and bankers to promote his agenda.
JP Morgan Chase Investigation
The court filing in a federal lawsuit against JP Morgan has uncovered an internal investigation conducted by the investment bank in 2019. The investigation sheds light on why the bank seemingly turned a blind eye to Epstein’s crimes. It suggests that JP Morgan prioritized financial gains over the safety of Epstein’s victims.
According to the document, Epstein directed business to JP Morgan on multiple occasions. He even facilitated meetings between Jes Staley, a top executive at JP Morgan, and members of the British government, including Peter Mandelson and Alistair Darling.

Epstein’s Methods
Epstein was involved in arranging meetings between JP Morgan and influential figures. In one instance, he facilitated a meeting between JP Morgan and a company seeking a $200 million capital line, introducing them to Prince Andrew.
The report highlights that JP Morgan Chase was willing to overlook the potential damage to its reputation because Epstein could bring valuable business opportunities to the bank.
The methods Epstein used to achieve this are a separate cause for concern.
