NEW YORK, June 16 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Friday granted preliminary approval to Deutsche Bank's (DBKGn.DE) $75 million settlement with victims of Jeffrey Epstein who accused the bank of facilitating the late financier's sex trafficking. Lawyers for Epstein's accusers and Deutsche Bank reached the settlement last month. The lawsuit was led by a victim known as Jane Doe 1, who said Epstein sexually abused her from 2003 to 2018 and accused Deutsche Bank of missing red flags of his abuses. Epstein had been a Deutsche Bank client from 2013 to 2018, after being a JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) client for 15 years. The case is Doe 1 v Deutsche Bank AG et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No.

The ex-first lady of the Virgin Islands consulted Jeffrey Epstein on a sex offender bill, JPMorgan said. The filings come as JPMorgan is accused by the Virgin Islands of facilitating Epstein's alleged crimes. Days after de Jongh sent the tuition bill to Epstein, she sent him another email about updated language for a sex offender registration bill, per JPMorgan's filings. De Jongh was first lady of the Virgin Islands between 2007 and 2015. Meanwhile, the firm is suing one of its former executives, Jes Staley, alleging that he knew about Epstein's sex trafficking but hid his crimes to keep him as a client.

U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan on Friday denied "in its entirety" the U.S. Virgin Islands' request to again have Dimon and another JPMorgan employee testify under oath. The territory, where Epstein owned two neighboring islands, is seeking damages from JPMorgan for allegedly ignoring Epstein's sexual abuses and letting him set up a sex trafficking operation there. Epstein was a JPMorgan client from 1998 until the bank terminated him in 2013. Dimon said he did not recall discussing Epstein's accounts at the time, and had barely heard of Epstein until his July 2019 arrest. The case is U.S. Virgin Islands v.

NEW YORK, June 15 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) urged a federal judge to reject the U.S. Virgin Islands' demand that Chief Executive Jamie Dimon sit for a second deposition for its lawsuit about the bank's long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan also said messages between Epstein and former bank executive Jes Staley, where Epstein name-dropped people like billionaires Bill Gates and Leon Black and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, did not justify more questioning of Dimon about alleged "Epstein referrals" of prospective customers. A spokesman for the U.S. Virgin Islands had no comment on the letter to U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan.

JPMorgan fails Jeffrey Epstein stress test

At least, that’s the impression left by Jamie Dimon’s answers to recent questioning in relation to Jeffrey Epstein, the dead sex-trafficker who was a JPMorgan (JPM.N) client for 15 years. Taken altogether, the case is a sign that the bank is simply too big for one person to manage. Epstein was a JPMorgan client from 1998 until 2013. Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Litigation related to Epstein is still pending between the U.S. Virgin Islands and JPMorgan, as are claims by JPMorgan against its former head of investment banking, Jes Staley.

NEW YORK, June 12 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) agreed to pay about $290 million to settle a class action lawsuit by Jeffrey Epstein's victims, resolving a large part of litigation over the bank's relationship with the disgraced financier. Monday's settlement came 3-1/2 weeks after Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE), where Epstein was a client from 2013 to 2018, agreed to pay $75 million to end a similar lawsuit by Epstein victims. "A settlement with Epstein's victims frees JPMorgan to begin to turn the page and change the narrative." The $290 million settlement amount was confirmed by David Boies, a lawyer for Epstein's victims. Last month, Rakoff said JPMorgan could be liable to Epstein's victims if they could show Staley had firsthand knowledge that Epstein ran a sex-trafficking venture.

NEW YORK, June 12 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) agreed in principle to settle a class action lawsuit with a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, the bank said in a statement Monday. Litigation is still pending between the U.S. Virgin Islands and JPMorgan Chase, as are JPMorgan Chase’s claims against former executive Jes Staley, the bank said. "The parties believe this settlement is in the best interests of all parties, especially the survivors who were the victims of Epstein's terrible abuse," JPMorgan said. Epstein was a JPMorgan client from 1998 until he was dismissed in 2013. JPMorgan kept him aboard even after his 2006 arrest on prostitution-related charges and a related guilty plea two years later.

JPMorgan Chase said Monday it has reached a settlement with one of late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein's victims, who had been suing the bank in federal court. JPMorgan argues that Staley is responsible for any civil liability a jury might find in the Epstein case. Last month, Deutsche Bank, where Epstein became a client after he was forced out by JPMorgan in 2013, settled with Epstein victims for $75 million. The announcement comes more than a week after JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon gave a deposition in the Epstein cases. On Friday, lawyers for the Epstein victim, called Jane Doe 1 in documents, asked the court to reopen Dimon's deposition.

It has in turn sued Staley, arguing he concealed what he knew about Epstein's trafficking and should cover any damages the bank may face in the cases. Staley left JPMorgan in 2013, a few months after the bank fired Epstein, and served as Barclays' (BARC.L) chief executive from 2015 to 2021. Zachary Margulis-Ohnuma, a lawyer who has represented sex trafficking victims and defendants, said he expected the plaintiffs to "grill" Staley on his knowledge of Epstein's sex trafficking and whether it affected the handling of Epstein's accounts. Staley also said JPMorgan had "unclean hands" given its own mistakes in dealing with Epstein. Epstein killed himself at age 66 in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

In his deposition, Dimon said he had barely heard of Epstein before the financier's arrest. JPMorgan is also being sued over Epstein by the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the financier allegedly also abused victims on a private island he owned. The bank is suing Staley to cover losses it may face in both lawsuits. Staley, who was Barclays' (BARC.L) CEO from 2015 to 2021, is expected to sit for a deposition on Saturday. The case is Jane Doe 1 v JPMorgan Chase & Co, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No.

Jamie Dimon, chairman and chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., right, at the US Capitol following a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in Washington, DC, US, on Wednesday, May 17, 2023. Lawyers for a Jeffrey Epstein victim asked a federal judge on Friday to allow them to take new testimony from JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and others as part of a lawsuit against the bank over its dealings with sex predator Epstein. JPMorgan denies any wrongdoing but has said it regrets having had Epstein as a client. McCawley noted that Rakoff in May had admonished JPMorgan for turning over documents to the plaintiff's legal team "at an inexplicably slow rate." "This pattern of producing documents from the custodial files of witnesses after their depositions has persisted throughout the discovery period."

Dimon said in the deposition he was not aware of the email at the time but "I know it today." Epstein was a JPMorgan client from 2000 to 2013, remaining so after pleading guilty in 2008 to a Florida state prostitution charge. In the deposition, Dimon also repeatedly denied speaking about Epstein with Staley, who was friendly with Epstein. Staley has said he regrets his friendship with Epstein, but denied knowing about Epstein's alleged sex trafficking. Epstein died in 2019 in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Staley was Mr. Epstein’s advocate in the bank and was the senior relationship manager for Mr. Epstein,” Ms. Erdoes said. The lawsuits contend that JPMorgan chose to keep Mr. Epstein as a client after he became a registered sex offender because he was bringing business to the bank. A blame game is also going on at JPMorgan, with some suggesting that Mr. Staley should have known about Mr. Epstein’s sex trafficking at the time, and that he had the duty to let others know. The bank has named Mr. Staley as a third-party defendant in the lawsuits in a bid to hold him liable for any damages JPMorgan may have to pay. Mr. Staley, who is scheduled to be deposed as soon as next week, has argued in court papers that he did nothing wrong or inappropriate.

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon looks on during the inauguration of the new French headquarters of US' JP Morgan bank on June 29, 2021 in Paris. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon testified last week that top bank executive Mary Erdoes and the firm's then-head lawyer had the authority to boot sex predator Jeffrey Epstein as a customer well before Erdoes finally took that step in 2013. During his deposition, Dimon was shown an email that JPMorgan's then-general counsel Cutler Cutler sent Erdoes about Epstein on July 21, 2011. In that email, Cutler wrote: "I would like to put it and him behind us. Cutler, in his own deposition last week, "testified under oath that Jes Staley and Mary Erdoes made the decision to retain Epstein as a customer of the bank," a lawyer told Dimon.

Those charges were dropped in early 2016 by the Virgin Islands Department of Justice. The filing is part of the bank's defense of a civil lawsuit by the U.S. Virgin Islands alleging JPMorgan facilitated Epstein's sex trafficking of young women. CNBC has reached out to the de Jonghs for comment through an asset management firm in the Virgin Islands where the former governor is a director. Bryan also asked $30,000 go to the Virgin Islands Little League, according to the document. "In addition to visas, some of the young women Epstein brought to the island also neededemployment," the filing noted.
JPMorgan wants Staley to cover some or all damages it might face in lawsuits brought by Epstein's accusers and the U.S. Virgin Islands over its ties to Epstein. The lawsuits accuse the bank of aiding in Epstein's sex trafficking by keeping him as a client from 1998 to 2013, the last five years after he pleaded guilty to a Florida prostitution charge. Had Staley "observed his obligations, Epstein would not have been a client," said Leonard Gail, a lawyer for JPMorgan. Staley, who later served as Barclays Plc's (BARC.L) chief executive, has expressed regret for befriending Epstein but denied knowing about his crimes. Epstein died in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.
NEW YORK, May 18 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) is seeking documents from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as part of a lawsuit against the bank by women who say they were abused by the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, court records showed on Thursday. Bragg took part in a May 16 telephone conference in the case alongside lawyers for the victims, the bank, former JPMorgan private banking chief Jes Staley and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a home, the Manhattan federal court records showed. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff instructed Bragg to provide JPMorgan with a privilege log - or a description of documents the bank was seeking that he is withholding - by Friday. A spokesperson for Bragg did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Reporting by Luc Cohen in New York Editing by Chizu NomiyamaOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $75 million to victims of sex predator Jeffrey Epstein to settle a federal lawsuit accusing the bank of enabling and benefitting from its customer's sex trafficking of young women, sources told CNBC on Wednesday night. The bombshell deal still leaves JPMorgan Chase to defend its own would-be class action lawsuit by Epstein accusers in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, which involves similar allegations. The settlement agreement by Deutsche Bank, which will set aside $75 million for Epstein accusers, was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. Deutsche Bank spokesman Dylan Riddle would not comment on the deal, but noted that his bank has spent more than 4 billion euros [$4.34 billion] to strengthen internal financial controls. "In recent years Deutsche Bank has made considerable progress in remedying a number of past issues," Riddle said.

The Virgin Islands is suing JPMorgan in U.S. District Court in Manhattan for allegedly enabling and financially benefiting from Epstein's sex trafficking of young women. Rakoff, in his order Wednesday, authorized the USVI to "arrange alternative service of its Subpoena to Produce Documents by serving Elon Musk via service upon Tesla Inc.'s registered agent." A Tesla spokesperson told The Times, "It is incorrect to say that Epstein ever advised Elon on anything." Epstein killed himself in August 2019, a month after federal authorities arrested him on an indictment charging him with child sex trafficking.
