According to the newly filed lawsuit, AG Denise George accuses JPMorgan Chase – who served as Epstein’s main bank from 1998 to 2013 – of “knowingly providing and pulling the levers through which recruiters and victims were paid” via Epstein’s sex trafficking business.
George also accused the investment bank giant of willingly ignoring the truth surrounding Epstein and his illegal activities on his infamous Little St. James Island in an effort to maintain the late billionaire and convicted sex offender as a client.
The lawsuit cites Epstein’s 2008 conviction in Florida for using a child for prostitution as one such instance where JPMorgan Chase “turned a blind eye” to Epstein’s illegal activities.
“Human trafficking was the principal business of the accounts Epstein maintained at JPMorgan,” one section of the lawsuit alleges.
