JPMorgan flagged Epstein. He moved over $1 BILLION. The government looked the other way.
It’s the scandal that just won’t die — and now, newly unsealed court records have blown open the lid on years of secret deals, shady transactions, and high-level silence surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.
“This is financial trafficking on a global scale,” one Capitol Hill insider told us. “And no one in Washington stopped him.”
According to a September 2019 Suspicious Activity Report, JPMorgan Chase flagged more than $1,000,000,000 in Epstein-linked transactions — AFTER he died in federal custody.
The bank’s concerns?
- Russian banks: Transactions tied to Alfa Bank and Sberbank
- Ties to TWO U.S. presidents
- Shuffling money across shell companies
- Possible misappropriation of client funds
- Sex trafficking allegations all over the media
This wasn’t a one-time thing. Internal records show JPMorgan filed multiple red flags going all the way back to 2002. Still, Epstein’s accounts stayed open until 2013 — five years AFTER he pled guilty to sex crimes involving minors.
“They knew. They ALL knew,” said a senior House Oversight staffer. “And they let it go on.”
The newly unsealed records name names — and they aren’t small ones.
At the center: Jes Staley, former JPMorgan executive and Barclays CEO. He emailed with Epstein about meetings with the Google founders, world leaders, and even British royalty. In one exchange, Prince Andrew sent warm holiday wishes.
Staley later admitted under oath he had sex with one of Epstein’s assistants — though he claims he didn’t know she was underage.
Another heavy hitter? Leon Black, billionaire investor and Epstein client. The two moved millions between accounts, but Black insists it was all “estate planning.”
“The idea that Epstein held influence over Mr. Black is patently absurd,” said Black’s attorney.
Still, Epstein was paid $158 million by Black between 2012 and 2017. That’s not tax advice — that’s a war chest.
The records — unsealed by order of Judge Jed Rakoff — were part of a lawsuit between the U.S. Virgin Islands and JPMorgan, where Epstein operated a private island allegedly used in his trafficking empire.
In 2023, JPMorgan paid out $365 million in settlements. They admitted nothing. They just wanted it gone.
“The bank deeply regrets having had Epstein as a client,” their spokesperson said.
Too little. Too late.
The documents include a letter from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Florida, dated 2007, requesting Epstein’s records from Bear Stearns — a bank later absorbed by JPMorgan.
This was all before Epstein signed the now-infamous non-prosecution agreement that let him skate with a slap on the wrist.
“The DOJ bent over backwards to protect Epstein,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). “Now we know just how far the corruption went.”
Under President Trump’s second term, House Republicans are DONE waiting.
A new Oversight Subcommittee led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is hauling in bank execs, federal prosecutors, and former Epstein lawyers for depositions.
“This wasn’t negligence,” Luna said. “It was protection. Epstein was protected because he protected powerful people.”
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) is also asking questions, but GOP leaders say Democrats helped bury this story to protect their own.
“The American people get spied on for Venmo. Epstein moved Russian money and got a handshake,” said Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL). “We’re not going to let this go.”
Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019 under “mysterious circumstances” in a federal jail. The cameras failed. The guards disappeared. The logs vanished. And now, it turns out his financial empire was still churning behind the scenes.
“These billion-dollar transactions aren’t a coincidence,” said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. “This was an operation. And we’re going to find out who was behind it.”
From Manhattan to Moscow, from Washington to Wall Street — the smoke around Epstein hasn’t cleared.
And the fire might still be burning.
