WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Prominent multinational bank JP Morgan Chase reportedly processed transactions totaling more than $1 billion over 16 years from convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, a lawyer for the U.S. Virgin Islands argued.
In a recent hearing, attorney Mimi Liu argued JP Morgan Chase’s financial transactions with Epstein had been rooted in human trafficking from the beginning.
“Epstein’s entire business with JPMorgan and JPMorgan’s entire business with Jeffrey Epstein was human trafficking,” she said. “JPMorgan was a full-service bank for Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking.”
According to NBC, Liu additionally pointed to “$9 million in transfers to girls and women, many with Eastern European names, and suspicious cash withdrawals from Epstein accounts,” which she argued were associated with more than “20,000 unlawful sex acts facilitated by JPMorgan.”
Liu said JP Morgan Chase flagged the transactions from Epstein with the U.S. Treasury Department as “suspicious” after the financier’s death in 2019, Reuters reported. Epstein was found dead of apparent suicide in his cell at New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in August 2019, where he was being held on charges of trafficking underaged girls to be raped by himself
