But when Vittert asked Mark Epstein to discuss the abuse and trafficking allegations against Jeffrey Epstein, the financier's brother demurred. Some were victims who filed lawsuits against Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell or were members of his house staff.

JPMorgan is paying $75 million to settle a lawsuit from the US Virgin Islands over links with Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan is still pointing fingers at the US Virgin Islands, saying the funds will be used to shore up its law enforcement. AdvertisementAdvertisementJPMorgan Chase has agreed to pay $75 million to settle a civil lawsuit from the US Virgin Islands over claims that it facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation. The funds come on top of the $290 million JPMorgan Chase has already agreed to settle a separate class-action lawsuit brought by Epstein victims, to fund a compensation program. Epstein owned two islands in the US Virgin Islands, which were sold by his estate earlier this year to billionaire Stephen Deckoff for $60 million.

JPMorgan did not admit any wrongdoing in the settlement, which will give $55 million to Virgin Islands charities and the American territory's anti-trafficking efforts. The remaining $20 million will cover attorneys' fees incurred by the Virgin Islands as part of the litigation in federal court in New York. The Virgin Islands said the deal "includes several substantial commitments by JPMorgan Chase to identify, report, and cut off support for potential human trafficking, including establishing and implementing comprehensive policies and procedures." Virgin Islands Attorney General Ariel Smith said the agreement settles what was the first enforcement action against a bank for facilitating and profiting from human trafficking. The Virgin Islands previously obtained a $105 million settlement from Epstein's estate, and another $62.5 million from billionaire investor Leon Black to resolve potential claims related to Epstein.
