JPMorgan Chase sues ex-Barclays exec over Epstein ties

JPMorgan Chase turned the tables on a former executive after the bank was sued by the US Virgin Islands over ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The bank filed a lawsuit against ex-executive James Edward ‘Jes’ Staley and alleged he was the man responsible for keeping Epstein in business, RadarOnline.com has learned.

With the move by JPMorgan Chase, the former Barclays CEO could be on the hook for damages in the lawsuit brought by the US Virgin Islands against the financial giant.

According to JPMorgan Chase’s lawsuit, the 66-year-old former executive allegedly knew about Epstein’s vile lifestyle, but turned a blind eye to his behavior — and allowed him to bank with the institution for fifteen years.
