Pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein’s high-profile criminal activity actually went far beyond sex trafficking.
He was capable of peddling influence with politicians, royals, businesspeople, and bankers, according to the revelations from a new court filing made in the US Virgin Islands, a report reveals.
Epstein, who died in a New York prison cell by allegedly committing suicide, seems to have been connected with all that was vile in American politics and internationally.
Now, a new, 22-page court filing from the US Virgin Islands in a federal lawsuit against JP Morgan exposed an internal investigation at the investment bank from 2019, The Gateway Pundit reports.
The internal probe shows why the bank “ignored the evidence” about Epstein’s crimes, the filing concludes, noting JP Morgan practically “traded” the public safety of the convicted pedophile’s victims “for its profits.”
According to the document, there were multiple times in which Epstein sent business to the bank. He was even arranging meetings between Jes Staley, a top JP Morgan executive and his close friend, with members of the British government.
Those include then-UK business secretary Peter Mandelson and then-chancellor Alistair Darling.
Thus, in January 2010, months after his release following a sex crime prison term, Epstein sent Staley a message. The message said he set up for him “and Peter” a meeting with Darling in Davos during the World Economic Forum, a Financial Times report reveals.
Days later, Staley sent Epstein a message that meetings with Mandelson and Darling were taking place.
The goal of the Epstein-sponsored meetings was “very practical.” JP Morgan Chase was interested in snapping up the units of Sempra Commodities outside North America from the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Only several months later, JP Morgan, with Epstein’s help, had its way and bought the respective business for $1.7 billion.
In another case, in 2010, Epstein linked JP Morgan with a company seeking a $200 million capital line and connected with Prince Andrew.
Enumerating other such instances, the report emphasized the reason JP Morgan Chase was “willing” to tolerate the “potential reputational damage” of doing business through Epstein was he was capable of bringing to it “big, valuable businesses.”
The king of levers that Epstein used to achieve that is a whole other matter.
