New filings in the messy lawsuit between the US Virgin Islands and JP Morgan Chase over who bears responsibility for Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking operation are dragging former US Virgin Islands First Lady Cecile de Jongh in the spotlight.
On Tuesday, US District Judge Jed Rakoff, who is overseeing the lawsuit, ordered Jeffrey Epstein's estate to produce all emails and other documents referencing de Jongh to JP Morgan, which is defending itself in the lawsuit. On the same day, JP Morgan alleged in its own filings that de Jongh was "Epstein's primary conduit for spreading money and influence throughout the USVI government."
"Unequivocally, a political culture was fostered within the local Democratic Party of the Virgin Islands that allowed Epstein to remain unchecked in exchange for his sponsorship and financial contributions," JP Morgan claims in the filing.
The US Virgin Islands attorney general's office filed the lawsuit against JP Morgan in December, alleging the financial institution "pulled the levers" of Epstein's sex-trafficking operation. Epstein died in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2021 for trafficking girls to him to rape.
According to the US Virgin Islands lawsuit, Epstein's JP Morgan accounts were used to pay off his victims and conceal wrongdoing. The bank ignored "red flag" laws that would have allowed them to stop Epstein earlier, according to the suit.
In its own filings, JP Morgan says the US Virgin Islands should have used its own oversight powers to stop Epstein and that it was "greedy" for seeking more damages after already obtaining more than $100 million in a settlement with Epstein's estate.

Let’s be clear. JP Morgan Chase is very very dirty in this one. They knew all about what Epstein was up to. They were more than happy to work with Epstein so long as they got to manage his money and profit thereby.
I hope his victims win a substantial cash payment from those scumbags.
According to the article, Epstein and U.S. Virgin Island Democrats were, metaphorically, in bed together.
Meanwhile, Epstein’s client list remains hidden (Warehouse 13? The Library? Warehouse 51?). Neither press, nor politicians seem interested.
Supposedly no one approves of pedophilia, yet no one seems to care. The North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is a continent sized pedophilia advocacy group. Does anyone speak up against NAMBLA? I wonder when LGBQT will come out of the closet as LGBQTP?
Democrats say no to MAGA and yes to LGBQTP.

Nobody did anything about Epstein for like 20 years!
But who is at fault?
His bank, for not snooping enough into where the money was going and why it was going there.
That’s the job of banks?
Around 2010, JP Morgan was courting Soros to be their CEO.
The same can certainly be said for Maxwell. She was a pimp and a witness to his crimes. No sympathy.
