JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank must face lawsuits that accuse them of enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking, a US judge said Monday. Rakoff’s decision gives the plaintiffs a chance to prove another claim: that JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank (DB)knowingly benefited from involvement in Epstein’s sex trafficking. JPMorgan spokeswoman Trish Wexler and Deutsche Bank spokesman Dylan Riddle declined to comment on Rakoff’s ruling. ‘Landmark decision’Epstein had been a client of JPMorgan from 2000 to 2013, and Deutsche Bank from 2013 to 2018.

☆ Fact Check-Google Maps does not show ‘Epstein Island’ as the 2024 Democratic National Convention venue

The Maps entry was manually created by a user and later removed for violating the company’s content policy, a Google spokesperson told Reuters. A tweet shared the screenshot showing Little St. James Island in satellite view with an in-picture caption that read, “Look up Epstein Island on Google Maps right now and you’ll find that the Democrat National Convention is being hosted there” (here). Reuters has previously debunked misleading claims about Little St. James, Epstein’s Caribbean island (here). A search for “Epstein Island” on Google Maps shows Little St. James Island but no longer indicates that DNC 2024 will be held there (here!3m1!1e3). A Google spokesperson told Reuters that an edited Maps entry showing “Epstein Island” as a venue for the 2024 Democratic National Convention was removed for violating platform policy requiring that added information be accurate.

☆ Virgin Islands attorney general sues JPMorgan Chase over banking services for Jeffrey Epstein
  + stars: | 2022-12-29 | by ( Andy Rose | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
New York CNN —The U.S. Virgin Islands government filed a lawsuit Tuesday against JPMorgan Chase, alleging that the Wall Street bank benefited financially from Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation and failed in its duty to report suspicious financial activity. “Human trafficking was the principal business of the accounts Epstein maintained at JPMorgan,” the lawsuit states. The lawsuit claims that JPMorgan Chase failed to make proper regulatory filings that could have tipped off the government to Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking ring of underage girls through private islands he owned in the U.S. Virgin Islands. A JPMorgan Chase spokesperson told CNN the company had no comment on the lawsuit Wednesday evening. The new lawsuit also comes less than a month after Attorney General George settled the U.S. Virgin Islands’ lawsuit against Epstein’s estate for more than $105 million dollars, along with an agreement that the estate will sell Epstein’s islands in the territory and end business operations there.

A former financier and associate of Jeffrey Epstein was sued Monday on allegations that he raped a woman in Epstein’s New York City mansion in spring 2002, according to court filings. The review, carried out by a New York law firm, declared that Black wasn’t involved in Epstein’s criminal activities. At the time, Epstein didn’t disclose Black’s name to Pierson, and she didn’t ask, according to the suit. Black then said ‘Black, my name is Leo Black,’” according to the filings. Another woman, Guzel Ganieva, sued Black last year, accusing him of rape and defamation, according to court filings.
☆ Lawsuit alleges investor Leon Black raped a woman inside Jeffrey Epstein's home

New York CNN Business —Billionaire investor Leon Black has been sued by a woman alleging he “brutal[ly]” raped her at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse in spring 2002. Wigdor filed Pierson’s complaint Monday under New York’s Adult Survivors Act. The firm’s Doug Wigdor helped advocate for the new law, which was passed in May and went into effect last week. After that he called again and asked to see her, according to the complaint, but Pierson refused to see him again. In 2008, Epstein pled guilty in Florida to two felony offenses: procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution.
☆ Restaurant owners should look to James Corden ban by Balthazar as a model

When I read that New York restaurateur Keith McNally had banned “The Late Late Show” host James Corden from famed restaurant Balthazar for allegedly abusive behavior, I was shocked. Not at hearing accusations that a wealthy celebrity had been rude to people in the hospitality industry, but at something far less common: a restaurant owner’s criticizing and barring a client, in public no less. Unfortunately, online reservation systems have also magnified one of the reasons diners used to end up being shunned: the reservation no-show. Few would dare to speak to podiatrists or electricians that way, but most restaurant servers tolerate it because they depend on tips — which can be upward of 70% of their earnings. What doesn’t is a restaurant owner’s publicly standing up for employees by telling bad customers that they have been banned.
