A JPMorgan executive kept Jeffrey Epstein's account open for years despite his pedophilia conviction and suspicious activity, saying that she thought it was not her job to remove him as a client.
Mary Erdoes, who has worked for the bank since 1996, revealed during a nine-hour deposition that she allowed Epstein, who died in 2019, to stay on as a client, despite the bank becoming aware of his suspicious withdrawals as early as 2006.
In a 2011 email, Mary replied: 'Oh boy,' to another executive after learning Epstein had been affirmed a sex offender. The email had been at least the sixth time she became aware of Epstein's legal troubles and sex crimes, according to the Washington Post, who viewed the deposition.
Officials in the Virgin Islands, where Epstein owned a private island, have accused JPMorgan of 'knowingly facilitating, sustaining, and concealing' the sex pest's child trafficking by allowing him to stay on as a client, despite knowing about the abuse allegations.
The bank finally severed ties with Epstein in 2013, citing him routinely withdrawing large amounts of cash. A 2006 report showed Epstein had withdrawn amounts as large as $80,000 several times, amounting to more than $750,000 in one year.
'We all now understand that Epstein’s behavior was monstrous, and his victims deserve justice - but these suits are misplaced as we did not help him commit his heinous crimes,' a spokesperson for the bank said in response to the lawsuit, according to the Washington Post.
'We are committed to combating human trafficking, and we will continue to look for ways to invest in advancing this important mission.'
In addition, Mary said in the deposition that she didn't 'know what the proper process is when it’s an allegation' and believed it was up to the bank's legal team to...

not her job to remove him as a client, but remove Christians, Conservatives, etc is her job. What a joke!
Sure, but posting something about masks, Biden crime family, global warming hoax, stolen elections — that’ll get your account cancelled.
It’s one thing to remove him as a client and another to continue to meet with him. Sounds like the legal team should have been more involved.
Compare and contrast that with how quickly they will drop even a longstanding customer for running a gun store or any other business they don’t approve of....or for donating to Trump or other Right of center causes.
It is rather astonishing, isn’t it? They found a scapegoat: “But she TEMPTED me with cute teenage girls!!” seems, actually, to be a defense guaranteeing both anonymity and freedom from prosecution.
A few demonstrate some independence of spirit once they get to the very top, but most have sold out sufficiently that there is little spirit/soul left.
An exception to this rule is people who run profit centers and owe their rise to the money they make for their firms. They are usually independent as hell and conformist managers tolerate them (at best) until there is a downturn in their revenue/profit generation and then politically finagle to get rid of them.
I know all about this.;-)

In other words, his blackmailing operation brought in large monetary deposits to JPMorgan.

I, as well.
Having worked for an unnamed Big 6 accounting organization in the 1990’s.
I still have the feeling that Epstein did not die. With all of the other coverups and crap that the DOJ and others have done— why would they not get involved with this one?
This is not an unusual reaction to someone finding out an important client has a ......little...... problem..... with sexin’ up the chilluns.
People are gutless wonders. They will think “I am brave because I have a family to feed and bills to pay. I’m going to STICK IT OUT here and if someone confronts me I’ll act like I didn’t know or didn’t realize how bad this was; my family means everything to me” et cetera, and so that justifies all the subsequent, er, you know, COWARDICE. They’re not being cowardly, because deep down they’re aware that powerful person just might have them whacked. They won’t just lose their job: They’ll lose their life, or someone dear to them will be threatened.
You can see this going on everywhere, especially with our fiends, I mean FRIENDS, in media-land and especially entertainment. THEY ALL KNOW. AND THEY ALL KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT SO THEY CAN KEEP THEIR JOBS. Cucker Farlson (who is still a millionaire and that’s not really going to change any time soon) knows. Diaper Dan B0ngino knows. Handity knows. Megaton Kelly knows. (And all the rest of them whose names I am not aware of because I never watch TV.)
And of course the CEOs of all these large corporations who are more than willing to lose BILLIONS in revenue to shill for the gaywad revolution - they know. They will lay off 80% of their work force to satisfy the racketeers.
I mean, they will kill you. It won’t be the deluge of nasty, threatening emails that will do you in, but a bullet, an overdose, a drug in your drink, or a bribed “health care” person. Just ask poor Seth Rich - oh, wait! You can’t ask him anything because he’s dead. Killed in a robbery, although strangely enough he still had all his stuff in his pockets when they scraped him off the sidewalk.
But that’s the stick. Usually the carrot works; by the time you realize you are getting carrots from some freak who kidnaps and rapes little girls, you are aware of the stick, so you just keep taking the carrots. You tell yourself you’re brave and tough for bowing down to evil because your family means everything to you. Those little s1uts were asking for it. And so it goes.
Muh Reputational Risk!
No one ever asks in whose eyes?
You notice how often it seems people don't think something is their job any more?
Or not their place to do something?
Americans used to be notorious for not knowing their place.
Such B.S. They’ll shut down your account if you deposit too much cash. Who the F are they kidding?
Brilliant post.
...because she didnt think.......
My guess is whatever guidelines the bank had for dropping clients were very vague with a lot of leeway for individual actions that no one could be held accountable for.
Well, half the clients of such an enterprise are probably doing something very wrong either legally or morally speaking, for example arms trading, or getting rich from some green energy scam, or perhaps they run an escort agency or a pornographic website, or the source of their money is drug dealing. Is the financial company supposed to step in and become a law enforcement agency?
My take would be, they should only act if law enforcement or government had clear guidelines for them to follow, otherwise we have an expectation that a private company will become a level of government and law enforcement. Do we want that outcome?
The above does not mean that I condone her actions in this one specific case because it isn’t clear to me what she knew about Epstein’s legal status, just reading a newspaper story about allegations about somebody does not rise to the level of being informed of somebody’s legal status, and nor should it, after all, Donald Trump ... say no more.
Looks like Jeffro taught his buds at JPM a thing or two:
