U.S. Virgin Islands Sues JPMorgan Over Epstein Ties
The government of the U.S. Virgin Islands is suing JPMorgan Chase for allegedly aiding and benefitting from Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring on his private island.
The new lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, arrives a month after two victims of the late financier sued JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank, accusing the investment banks of reaping millions through their relationship with Epstein and his illicit enterprise.
According to the filing, U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George brought the suit “after presenting her findings to JP Morgan in September 2022, in her ongoing effort to protect public safety and to hold accountable those who facilitated or participated in, directly or indirectly, the trafficking enterprise Epstein helmed.”
