JPMorgan Chase said the US Virgin Islands gave Jeffrey Epstein more than $300million in tax incentives and waived sex offender monitoring requirements, shielding the disgraced late financier as he gave cash and gifts to top officials and local police.
In a Tuesday court filing, the largest US bank described how Epstein allegedly paid law enforcement entities such as the Virgin Islands Police Department.
The newly unredacted filing is part of JPMorgan's effort to show that the US Virgin Islands, including former first lady Cecile de Jongh, 'actively facilitated' Epstein's sexual abuse of young women and teenage girls.
JPMorgan is defending in federal court against the territory's lawsuit filed in December over its relationship with Epstein, a client from 1998 to 2013.
The US Virgin Islands, where Epstein owned two neighboring islands, has accused JPMorgan of facilitating Epstein's crimes by providing banking services, and enabling him to pay victims.
'JPMorgan Chase is the only party to this lawsuit that had real-time knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's human trafficking operation,' Venetia Velazquez, a spokeswoman for the US Virgin Islands attorney general, said in a statement.
'The evidence disclosed so far suggests the bank chose to prioritize its profits over protecting victims.'
US Virgin Islands police said they 'never received a single complaint' about Epstein's sex trafficking and would have investigated complaints, a person familiar with the territory's law enforcement practices said. The person lacked authority to discuss those practices publicly.
JPMorgan agreed last week to pay $290million to settle a lawsuit by dozens of Epstein's accusers, pending court approval.
Epstein died by suicide at age 66 in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
JPMorgan had described a 'quid pro quo' relationship between Epstein and US Virgin Islands officials such as de Jongh...

Does that NASTY black woman Rep. Stacey Plaskett from the Virgin Islands KNOW Epstein? hmmmmmmmm
She played a role in luring the girls. Women lure the girls into being trafficked.
Everyone is for sale in this world...everyone.
One way or another. If not by a benefit, then by the threat of a loss of benefit.
So, in essence, Epstein got paid multiple times for procuring underage girls for all of his buddies.
Oh and by the way, being as how the FBI has all his documentation, video/audio recordings, why hasn’t ANYBODY been investigated, prosecuted or convicted of using his “services?”
I want to know who owned and operated Maxwell and Epstein. This all was too sophisticated an operation for just two people to cook up.
Not everyone, everywhere.
Epstein was probably affiliated with the CIA. Nobody seems to know how he earned all of his money and the CIA has one of the most secret, big budgets on Earth.
The U.S. government has connections to the sex trafficking of minors and is probably funding it for the benefit of wealthy elites who kickback money to politicians who help hide it.
With all due respect to the other comments, my first thought was all the money, all the material wealth, connections to important people and all the rest of it and in the end where did it all get him?
Whether it was by his own hand or another, he met death in a jail cell at 66 years old and none of those things could save him.
Once again The Bible is as relevant today as it ever has been:
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
Mark 8:36 KJV
Abuse by whom, precisely? Who had sex with them? Shouldn't they be arrested? Surely, with all those flight logs and cameras all over the island there should be names and video that would be easily correlated. Why, the FBI seized all of this material, and it's been what...years?
More likely Mossad. Ghislaine Maxwell's father was a well known Mossad asset. Several Israel prime minsters and Mossad officers turned up for his funeral in Israel (after they likely ordered his hit).
Mossad is my guess.
You are correct. Jesus of Nazareth wasn’t but that is it.
Maybe because he mostly dealt with well heeled and politically connected lawyers and aristocracy.....but, of course, no one is above the law.... (spit)
That was my first thought. Gonna keep an eye out now for Plasket/Epstein connections.
That being the case, the only solution would seem the good guys need to pay more to those in power than the bad guys?
Not just this or that implicated politician. His outfit was a ruling class institution.
What? Corrupt cops? Say it isn’t so!
I’ve been told that every person who puts on a badge suddenly turns into a hero with saintly morals and infallible judgment!
