JP Morgan's Role in Epstein Scandal

I want to show you an email that might seem innocent, but is actually

incredibly vile. It's one JP Morgan executive emailing

another, "Will you be my buddy on this one?" Well,

let's just look up at the subject line here.

"Billionaire freed from jail on sex charges." That comes from a recent report

that should have been ground-shattering national news, with a senator backing it

up. But corporate media seemingly disappeared

the story, and I think

I know why. Let's dive into the details they didn't

want you to know about.

Starting with JP Morgan, where Jeffrey Epstein had at

least 134 accounts. Epstein was part of the

wall of cash who generated one of the largest annual

revenue flows and was listed as a target going forward

after he was labeled a sex offender.

Banks are supposed to monitor their customers for things like money

laundering, or,

I don't know, running a giant international pedophile

sex trafficking ring.

But with Epstein, these red flags were repeatedly ignored.

One executive even advised Epstein on how to avoid regulatory red

flags. He told him to make cash withdrawals from

accounts linked to his

airplanes instead of from his personal accounts.

The same year, a JPM executive said that another rich client's house is

like Epstein's but with fewer nymphets.

In 2013, JP Morgan finally closed Epstein's

accounts, but

continued their business relationship by allowing him to manage accounts for

Apollo's Leon Black, who allegedly funded a large part

of Epstein's operation. But Epstein was still a desirable client elsewhere.

He was almost immediately taken on at Deutsche Bank, where the managing director

emailed the executive who brought him in, "Great news.

Congrats, Paul." Deutsche not only helped Epstein

avoid regulations for years,

they gave him white glove service, helping him withdraw big cash from

foreign ATMs, sending wires without the checks most

customers face,

and they even waived small fees for overdrafts.

Has a bank ever done any of that for you?

Attempts at following basic regulations around customer transactions were

met by frustration of high-ranking executives.

In one email, an exec whines, "These requests seem

unreasonable. Epstein has been repeatedly signed off by

management." Senator Wyden's report has way more than can fit in a three-minute

video. CBS's 60 Minutes had the story, but not only was the

interview killed, the reporter got fired.

And this is amid CBS being absorbed in the Paramount mega-merger with

David Ellison's Skydance Media. But the Ellisons didn't pay outright for

the

acquisition. Big banks spotted them the cash.

SEC filings show that the very same three big banks

that Wyden's

report focuses on and Apollo, once run by Leon Black,

led the financing for this new media empire.

The very same banks that were implicated in this have influence

over the

media that's meant to tell you about it.
