WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.839 What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. 2 00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:08.199 The lawsuit between the US Virgin Islands and JP Morgan 3 00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:13.640 has evolved into an absolute backyard brawl, with both sides 4 00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:18.239 lobbing salvo after salvo at the other side, hoping to 5 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.879 damage the credibility of their opponent in this high stakes lawsuit. 6 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.359 And if the US Virgin Islands thought that JP Morgan 7 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.640 wasn't going to fight back, they made a critical mistake 8 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.759 because JP Morgan is not going to write a check 9 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:36.119 to the US Virgin Islands without at the very least 10 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.159 exacting their price in blood, if you will, meaning they're 11 00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.960 going to expose everything that they say the Virgin Islands 12 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.880 was involved in in hopes to destroy their credibility inside 13 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.280 of that courtroom. And that's what it comes down to. 14 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.119 JP Morgan understands that they're already on the hook for 15 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.200 two hundred and ninety million dollars. You really think they 16 00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.079 want to have another payout here? Of course not. So 17 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.679 they're looking at all of the facts, and their high 18 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.879 profile lawyers are certainly looking at all of the facts. 19 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.799 And if we can find this information, do you really 20 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.480 think that the JP Morgan legal teams can't come up 21 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.040 with it. Not only have they turned up this information, 22 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.840 I'm guessing that they've turned up a whole bunch more. 23 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.799 And it looks to me that JP Morgan plans to 24 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.799 release each one of these dumps in a calculated strike. 25 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.040 Today we have an article from lawn crime dot com 26 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.519 and the headline will it work for you? 27 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:33.319 Ex? 28 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.879 Virgin Islands first lady allegedly ran suggested language for sex 29 00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.760 offender law by Jeffrey Epstein. This article was authored by 30 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.239 Adam Klasfeld. So that's nice, Huh. You're in charge of 31 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.480 writing the sex offender's law for the US Virgin Islands, 32 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.560 and before you write the law, you're like self, you 33 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.200 know what I need to do. I need to get 34 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.280 in contact with Jeffrey Epstein and see what he has 35 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:02.159 to say about the language in this law. How could 36 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.400 you not sue the US Virgin Islands knowing all of this? 37 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.800 If I was a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein, I would 38 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.439 be out a lawyer yesterday trying to get a lawsuit 39 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.879 going against the US Virgin Islands using the same principles 40 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.759 and basics that were used against JP Morgan. Especially learning 41 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.479 stuff like this, If you have somebody who is the 42 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.800 first Lady of the US Virgin Islands and she's also 43 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.520 working for Epstein and then at the very same time 44 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.520 manipulating language in the sex offender's law. You mean to 45 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.360 tell me that somebody shouldn't be held culpable for that, 46 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.479 because that law itself, right there is a big deal. 47 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.520 Right if you're writing a favorable law for sex offenders, 48 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:46.840 how can you tell me that you're a victim, meaning 49 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.439 the island When it comes to somebody like Epstein setting 50 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.280 up shop in a place that's favorable to them. You 51 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.599 set the tone, you set the scenario, You set the stage, 52 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.479 and Epstein just swooped in. So before you start coming 53 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.840 with your hand out talking about your ode anything else. 54 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.360 The whole entire US Virgin Islands leadership structure, and anyone 55 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.280 thinking that they should get some money should sit down 56 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.800 and reevaluate their strategy, because I think the gravy train 57 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.840 is about to come off the tracks. Three years after 58 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.960 pleading guilty to soliciting prostitution of a minor, Jeffrey Epstein 59 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.800 had the ear of the wife of the then Virgin 60 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.919 Islands governor in attempting to craft sex offender legislation that 61 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.800 wouldn't put too much of a crimp in his lifestyle. 62 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.680 Another reason why he chose New Mexico as well. Remember 63 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.319 everything that Epstein did, he was thinking a few steps ahead, 64 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.479 especially when we're talking about the legal system, and he 65 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.159 had all of this set up in a manner where 66 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.719 it was beneficial to him if he ever got caught. 67 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.520 Grease the right palms now, so later on down the 68 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.240 road they owe me a favor. That's one of the 69 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.080 latest scorching allegations in a legal brief filed by JP 70 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.759 Morgan Chase, which is trying to turn and the tables 71 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.759 on the Virgin Islands government. And I am here for it. 72 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.439 It is about time that the US Virgin Islands government 73 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.479 was called out. I feel like I'm the only person 74 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.159 that's been doing this for a few years now. And look, 75 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.759 it's not because I have a bone to pick with 76 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.839 the US Virgin Islands in general, but wrong is wrong, 77 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.680 and until you start holding some people accountable in your 78 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.399 own backyard, I don't want to hear about how you're 79 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.480 a victim or how restitution needs to be paid to 80 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.079 the US Virgin Islands. In fact, I think it's the 81 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.480 other way around. If anyone's getting restitution, it should be 82 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:39.800 those survivors from the US Virgin Islands. Since late last year, 83 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.959 the Virgin Islands has tried to hold the behemoth financial 84 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:48.319 institution liable for knowingly profiting from Epstein sex trafficking conspiracy. 85 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.920 JP Morgan's most potent defense against the allegations has been 86 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:57.399 a counter offensive, the latest of which reveals alleged communications 87 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:02.120 between Epstein and former Virgin Island First Lady Cecil DeJong 88 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.279 from twenty and eleven. Look, they were close, There's no doubt. 89 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:09.720 This is all documented stuff that we've been talking about 90 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.240 four years now. The only question is what is inside 91 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.199 of those documents. We've never had access to the emails. 92 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.120 We knew they existed, and we knew that the conversations 93 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.639 were had. This just confirms it with some receipts. And 94 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.759 that's because JP Morgan, like the article says here, is 95 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.000 on accounter offensive and the US Virgin Islands, for their part, 96 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.759 are used to steamrolling people when it comes to the 97 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:37.079 Epstein situation, especially with the way they were handling the estate. 98 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:37.839 Well. 99 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.399 JP Morgan is in Epstein's estate and the legal team 100 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.839 that JP Morgan has on hand is a lot more 101 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:50.199 powerful than anything the Epstein Estate could ever imagine of deploying. 102 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.920 And that's why you see this insane amount of pushback 103 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.279 from JP Morgan, Whereas the estate they just took it 104 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.639 in the pants and said, you know what, let's settle 105 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.720 and keep it moving. They knew they were going to 106 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.000 pay that money out one way or the other, and 107 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.680 the estate didn't care if they paid the US Virgin 108 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.600 Islands or those survivors, as long as they were off 109 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:09.000 the hook. 110 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:10.120 That may. 111 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.879 The Virgin Islands legislature considered amending sex offender monitoring laws, 112 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.279 and the Bank quoted DeJong running the proposed language by Epstein. 113 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.639 This is the suggested language. Will it work for you? 114 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.199 DeJong wrote, According to the brief, we should add out 115 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.160 of the country for more than seven days. Otherwise I 116 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.240 could not go for a day trip to Tortola. At 117 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.920 the last minute, the sex offender allegedly replied, referring to 118 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.360 the largest isle on the British Virgin Islands. Imagine that's 119 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.160 what he's worried about. I can't go to Tortola after 120 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.399 decades of raping and ruining people's lives. This is what 121 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.040 is paled down in the US Virgin Islands and him 122 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.839 or chatting about and we're not talking about just some lady. 123 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.639 We're talking about somebody who was at the very levers 124 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.319 of power. And this person thinks it's a good idea 125 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.759 to ask a convicted sex offender what they think about 126 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.319 the new sex offender law or the language within that law. 127 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:07.839 Epstein also fretted the statute's transparency provisions could make certain 128 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.720 information accessible by the press. According to the filing, well, 129 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.680 no worries there. The press wasn't interested in covering what 130 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.639 Epstein was doing at the time. Althy'll go back now 131 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.800 and there'll be some revisionist history and these outlets act 132 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.879 like they've been at the forefront. But I'm here to 133 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:27.160 tell you they haven't been. DeJong allegedly responded that she 134 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.120 didn't want to email back and forth before describing the 135 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.680 hurried timetable for the legislation. And you know why she 136 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:35.879 didn't want to email, right, she didn't want a paper trail. 137 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.160 Of course, she didn't want to email back and forth. 138 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.959 She's smart enough to know that the person she's talking 139 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.680 to is not exactly the citizen of the year. JP 140 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.319 Morgan claims that the then Virgin Island's first Lady wasn't 141 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.319 just an ally of Epstein, but a paid manager of 142 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:56.680 his Virgin Island companies, receiving a salary, bonuses and other benefits. 143 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.399 Epstein and his then personal attorney, Marie Ya Hodge also 144 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.120 lobbied the Virgin Islands Department of Justice and the Attorney 145 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.959 General's Office, with apparently disappointing results for the wealthy sex offender. 146 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.600 According to the filing, So even though Epstein had a 147 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.000 lot of people working on his behalf down in the 148 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:19.199 US Virgin Islands, not everybody was in on it. Not 149 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:23.240 every politician was willing to just give this guy a 150 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:27.399 blank pass to do whatever he wanted. But unfortunately there 151 00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.519 were enough down there who were willing to do that, 152 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.559 and that in turn led to Jeffrey Epstein being able 153 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.799 to pretty much do whatever he wanted within the territory. 154 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.360 I know this was a horrible week and I'm really 155 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.039 sorry about how things panned out, DeJong apologized to Epstein 156 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:47.039 after the law's passage in June of twenty eleven. Not 157 00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:51.519 being able to take someone at their word is incredibly frustrating. However, 158 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.320 all is not lost and we will figure something out 159 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.840 by coming up with a game plan to get around 160 00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.559 these obstacles. So she's basically saying, we're gonna come up 161 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.679 with a game plan to get around these new sex 162 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.600 offender laws here on the island. That way they don't 163 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.200 apply to you. And keep in mind while we're talking 164 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:12.279 about this, that this island that these people represented ended 165 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:14.919 up with one hundred and five million dollars after this 166 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.600 woman was here talking about we're gonna come up with 167 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.960 a plan to avoid the sex offender laws. You really 168 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:24.120 think that the US Virgin Islands should get one single dollar? 169 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.440 And if the answer is yes to that, please shoot 170 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:29.399 me some email and explain to me why they shouldn't 171 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:33.000 be liable and instead why they should be collecting another bag. 172 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.639 That plan, JP Morgan says involved getting then Virgin Island 173 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:42.559 senators involved to facilitate Epstein's easy travel too and from 174 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:47.279 the territory. Huh, Senators. I wonder Stacy Plas get involved 175 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.039 in that. Is anyone ever gonna call her out either? 176 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.519 I doubt it, but somebody should considering her ties to 177 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.440 Epstein and then the BS response we got from her, 178 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.639 I would love to see JP Morgan really push the 179 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.200 envelope here and take them to court all the way 180 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.919 to discovery and then call everybody in that way. Everybody 181 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.240 has to go under oath, and if people are lying, 182 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.840 perhaps there'll be some consequences. JP Morgan has fought tenaciously 183 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.840 to rid itself of liabilities and the torrent of bad 184 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:21.960 press that came with it associated with Epstein's name. The 185 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.559 bank reached a two hundred and ninety million dollars settlement 186 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.240 to resolve a class action lawsuit filed anonymously by an 187 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:32.559 Epstein survivor, averting a potentially embarrassing trial that would have 188 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:36.480 put the alleged conduct of JP Morgan executives under the 189 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:41.080 public layer. Attorney Brad Edwards, known for his representation of 190 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.240 Epstein's survivors, credited assistance from the Virgin Islands government for 191 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.519 helping to reach that deal. Okay, that's fine and well, 192 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.159 but I still don't trust them and I don't understand 193 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.159 how Brad Edwards doesn't see the forest through the trees here. 194 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.159 You would think that a lawyer would be all over this, right, 195 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.159 let me get another bag, let me secure some more due. Oh, 196 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.440 the information and support the US Virgin Islands and its 197 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.679 legal team provided to the survivors was enormously valuable, and 198 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.960 we recognize the importance of the government's continued litigation against 199 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:17.080 JP Morgan Chase to prevent future crimes. Edward said in 200 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.639 a statement, Yeah, that doesn't hit too well for me. 201 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.440 In fact, I find that statement a bit ridiculous. Honestly, 202 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.519 there's no way that anyone's going to stop doing what 203 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.279 they're doing because they have to pay a fine. How 204 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.399 about sending some people to jail. How about holding these 205 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.039 politicians accountable for the decision they made to get into 206 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.679 bed with a slimy ass snake like Jeffrey Epstein. Instead, 207 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:40.960 it seems like people are just willing to let them 208 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.360 get off. Well, I'm here to tell you that's never 209 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.879 gonna happen on this podcast. I'm never gonna sit here 210 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.440 and tell you that the US Virgin Islands has the 211 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.080 right of it, because they do not. What they're doing 212 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:55.039 here is absolutely wrong and disgusting. Now, look, I'm all 213 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:58.919 for going after the bank and holding them liable, but 214 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.039 the fact that they're trying to do it for financial 215 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:07.639 benefit and financial benefit alone is really gross, especially considering 216 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.600 what they were up to themselves, And for me, that 217 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:15.440 seals the deal as them being liable and as a institution, 218 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.639 if you will, that played a crucial role in Jeffrey 219 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.039 Epstein's criminal enterprise, keeping it moving for decades. The Virgin 220 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:27.480 Islands Attorney General's Office, for its part, has held firm 221 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.919 and has announced no intention to settle its case before 222 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:34.679 a trial in October. The government has described the bank's 223 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:38.840 hyperbolic conspiracy theories about the Virgin Islands as an effort 224 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:43.440 to distract and deflect, asking Senior US District Judge Jed 225 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.559 Rakoff to strike the intimations of hypocrisy as an affirmative defense. 226 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:53.120 Venetia of Alasquez, a spokesperson for the Virgin Islands AG, 227 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.559 sounded a similar note in a statement. JP Morgan Chase 228 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:02.360 has cherry picked and mischaracterized Epstein's interactions with US Virgin 229 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:06.000 Island officials and residents in an attempt to distract and 230 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:10.480 shift blame away from its role in facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's 231 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.360 Hanus crimes. Velasquez said, and while there's truth to that, 232 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:16.919 that doesn't do away with the fact that what they're 233 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:19.759 saying is true. How many times do we have to 234 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:21.879 go back in the time machine and pull up an 235 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:25.679 article from twenty twenty or twenty nineteen talking about the 236 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:31.159 complicity of the US Virgin Islands with Jeffrey Epstein. JP 237 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.279 Morgan Chase seeks to attack the people of the Virgin 238 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:38.559 Islands for not discovering the very information that bank executives 239 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.799 refuse to share. Nobody's attacking the people of the US 240 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.320 Virgin Islands. The elected officials, don't try and conflate the issue. 241 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.919 JP Morgan Chase had a legal responsibility to report the 242 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:54.000 evidence in its possession of Epstein's human trafficking. It failed 243 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.480 to do so, and it should be held accountable for 244 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.559 violating the law. Correct me if I'm wrong, But does 245 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.360 in the USA US Virgin Islands have subpoena power? Don't 246 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:06.039 they have the power to enter or not enter into 247 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:09.720 any deal with anybody they choose to. Well, what's the 248 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:11.200 answer for their behavior? 249 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:11.440 Then? 250 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.279 If JP Morgan could have stopped Jeffrey Epstein and they 251 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:17.639 could have, well what does that say about the US 252 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.320 Virgin Islands who had the power of the law and 253 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.039 the United States government on their side and they fail 254 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.559 to act. So save the what about ism and get 255 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.399 ready to feel the pain. JP Morgan insists that its 256 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:34.159 arguments are legitimate telling. Lee usvi's motion seeks to strike 257 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:38.720 only those specific defenses that threaten to expose its relationship 258 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:42.559 with Epstein. The Bank's attorney, Felicia Ellsworth noted in her 259 00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:46.200 brief the former governor's first lady is hardly the only 260 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:51.039 Virgin Islands official identified in JP Morgan's brief. The bank 261 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.360 is also alleged that Epstein had close ties with current 262 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.399 Governor Albert Bryan, who fired ex Virgin Island's Attorney General 263 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.320 Denise George, the prosecut who first filed the case against 264 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:07.360 JP Morgan. Former sex trafficking prosecutor Mitchell Epner suspects that 265 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.200 if a federal judge finds JP Morgan's claims about the 266 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:14.360 Virgin Islands fair game for trial, the Bank will use 267 00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:18.080 the information to draw the government to the negotiation table. 268 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.840 It's a standard in litigation to use the process to 269 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:25.840 disincentivize the opponent to continue, said Epner, who's now a 270 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:30.759 partner at Rottenberg Littmann Rich PC. If unsuccessful in that effort, 271 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:34.759 the trial will begin on October twenty third, twenty twenty three. 272 00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.279 And I think the wildcard here is going to be 273 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.759 if one of the survivors or several of the survivors 274 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:43.480 decide that they want to get involved and sue the 275 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.480 US Virgin Islands on top of it, because I think 276 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.600 that's certainly a possibility, especially considering we haven't heard from 277 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.240 anywhere near all of the survivors yet, so I won't 278 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.080 be shocked if moving on in the future, we hear 279 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.960 that the survivors or a survivor has sued the US 280 00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:04.240 Virgin Islands as well, And if that happens, the US 281 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.759 Virgin Islands has nobody to blame but themselves. They should 282 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:09.799 have took their one hundred and five million and kept 283 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:13.000 it moving, but no, they needed more, and now that 284 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:17.399 greed threatens to expose them for what JP Morgan's asserting 285 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.279 is their role in Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise. All right, folks, 286 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.039 that's gonna do it for this one. All of the 287 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.960 information that goes with the episode can be found in 288 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:32.320 the description box Cash Fevers. What's up, everyone, and Welcome 289 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:37.080 back to the Epstein Chronicles. As the battle between JP 290 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:41.960 Morgan and the US Virgin Islands continues to rage, JP 291 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.840 Morgan is now blasting the US Virgin Islands and saying 292 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.879 that they were complicit in helping Jeffrey Epstein facilitate his 293 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:54.120 criminal enterprise. And guess what, JP Morgan is not wrong 294 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.720 here as bad as the sins of the financial sector 295 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.960 were and are. You had government officials down in the 296 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:05.200 US Virgin Islands taken all kinds of money from Epstein, 297 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.720 taken all kinds of favors from Epstein, and then after 298 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:12.039 those favors are done, Epstein turns around and gets all 299 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.640 kinds of tax breaks, all sorts of benefits, and the 300 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.519 key he gets privacy because he knows that nobody's gonna 301 00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:21.960 check in on him. Nobody down there gives a shit, 302 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.519 So why would anyone in a position of power have 303 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:28.880 anything to say about what Epstein's doing, especially if he's 304 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:33.240 buttering everybody's bread. So JP Morgan, they're calling the US 305 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.039 Virgin Islands out on their bullshit, and honestly, I think 306 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.920 it's a good idea. I've said it from the very beginning. 307 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:41.400 If I was one of these girls who was assaulted 308 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:44.759 by Epstein on this island, I would sue the US 309 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.599 Virgin Islands for negligence as well. Didn't they get one 310 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:51.279 hundred and twenty five million dollars already from the estate Meanwhile, 311 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.960 you have girls out here who were abused who didn't 312 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.160 get one single dollar. And while the US Virgin Islands 313 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.519 is pilfering this money and pillaging all the funds that 314 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.880 should be going to girls who were abused, they're wrapping 315 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:08.039 it in the flag of justice. Meanwhile, not one single 316 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:12.680 criminal complaint has been filed in the US Virgin Islands. 317 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:18.039 Today's article is from CNBC and the headline JP Morgan 318 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.519 Chase blast US Virgin Islands as complicit in Jeffrey Epstein's 319 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:28.960 sex trafficking. This article was authored by Dan Mangen. JP 320 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.519 Morgan Chase, in a court filing on Tuesday, called the 321 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:36.079 US Virgin Islands complicit in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, 322 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.119 saying the sex predator gave high ranking officials their money, 323 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.880 advice and favors in exchange for looking the other way 324 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:46.680 when he trafficked young women to be abused on his 325 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:51.480 island get away. Pretty powerful accusations, right. The sad part 326 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.519 is these accusations are true, and it's all documented. We 327 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:59.279 know about the relationships that Jeffrey Epstein had on this island. 328 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:02.839 We know oh that he was donating money and spreading 329 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.319 it around and we also know because of these donations, 330 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:10.160 because of him spreading around money, he was given preferential 331 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.440 treatment on the island, including all sorts of tax breaks. 332 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:17.920 And if the US Virgin Islands is so gung ho 333 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.799 on getting money, why would they be giving people like 334 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:24.240 Epstein billionaires and millionaires tax breaks in the first place. 335 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:29.599 For two decades and for long after JPMC exited Epstein 336 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.799 as a client, the entity that most directly failed to 337 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:38.160 protect public safety and most actively facilitated and benefited from 338 00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:42.799 Epstein's continued criminal activity was the plaintiff in this case, 339 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:47.720 the USVII government itself. The bank said in the Manhattan 340 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:50.440 Federal Court filing, you know two things can be true 341 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:53.920 at once, right, and in this case, that's certainly what 342 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:58.319 we're seeing. A the bank facilitated Epstein, no doubt about it, 343 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:02.279 zero doubts about the fact that the financial sector was 344 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:06.160 holding Epstein's dick throughout this whole entire thing. And there's 345 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:09.640 also no doubt that the US Virgin Islands also filed 346 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:13.680 these girls. And now they're over here with their hands 347 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.640 in the cookie jar, hoping to extract some more sweets. 348 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:20.000 I mean, one hundred and twenty five million wasn't enough. 349 00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:23.319 Let's just keep going and let's take every last dollar 350 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.359 that's in that estate so that we can do what 351 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.559 with it. Give it to the government of the USVII 352 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.079 so they can waste it on bullshit. Meanwhile, like I said, 353 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.640 how many girls that are nameless, that never came out 354 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:40.079 in public, that have never talked about what happened aren't 355 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:43.279 gonna get one single dollar in restitution for what they 356 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:47.880 went through. That number is literally in the hundreds. Rather 357 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:51.039 than stop him, they helped them, JP Morgan said, citing 358 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:54.359 millions of dollars in tax incentives and other benefits the 359 00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:59.279 territory gave Epstein. That claim comes as JP Morgan defends 360 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.680 itself against a civil lawsuit by the Virgin Islands, which 361 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:07.079 alleges that the bank knowingly enabled Epstein sex trafficking and 362 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:10.200 benefited from it when he was a customer from nineteen 363 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:15.160 ninety eight through twenty thirteen. They all benefited from it. 364 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.759 And now that it's time to answer before the man, Well, 365 00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:23.599 it's everybody else's fault, and everybody else was the one 366 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.000 who was a key component for what Epstein had going on. 367 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.440 But the reality is all of these people were key components, 368 00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:33.920 and none of this could have taken place if people 369 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.440 like this didn't play ball. But the fact is people 370 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:42.359 are greedy, The fact is government officials and bureaucrats are corrupt, 371 00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:45.119 And the fact is people like Jeffrey Epstein know that 372 00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.960 and utilize it to their benefit. A spokesman for the 373 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:53.200 Virgin Islands Attorney General's Office told CNBC on Tuesday, JP 374 00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:57.599 Morgan Chase facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's abuse and should be held 375 00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:01.200 accountable for violating the law. They should, and so should you. 376 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:05.920 But here's the thing. You're not holding anyone accountable. You're 377 00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:09.480 holding people financially accountable. But how many of these people 378 00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:13.240 are going to jail? How many criminal cases has the 379 00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:16.519 USBI brought against any of these people? Oh, I can 380 00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.279 tell you the answer is zero. So all of the 381 00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.000 grand standing and the whoing and the hawing about justice, 382 00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:27.240 it's all bs. It's just nothing more than a vehicle 383 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.559 for them to use to further their own ambitions of 384 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.759 getting a few more bucks. This is an obvious attempt 385 00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:37.880 to shift blame away from JP Morgan Chase, which had 386 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.400 a legal responsibility to report the evidence in its possession 387 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:44.880 of Epstein's human trafficking and failed to do so. The 388 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.920 spokesman said, you know what's so crazy about that that 389 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:51.759 all the way up until Jeffrey Epstein's arrest, he was 390 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:53.480 bringing girls into the Virgin Islands. 391 00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:54.440 How do we know that? 392 00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:57.240 Well, people who worked at the airport talked about it. 393 00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:59.920 They were very candid about what Epstein was up too, 394 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:02.799 and the fact that little girls were getting off those planes. 395 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:05.880 So where were all the customs agents down in the 396 00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:09.119 US Virgin Islands? Where was the police force, Where was 397 00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:12.960 the Special Task Force to deal with human trafficking? Oh, 398 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.240 that's right, there were nowhere to be found. And they're 399 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:17.480 the ones who have subpoena power. They're the ones who 400 00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.440 can arrescue. So all of the claims about anyone else 401 00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:24.559 stepping up and stopping Jeffrey Epstein, that's a bunch of 402 00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:28.799 bullshit in my opinion. The bank's filing on Tuesday asked 403 00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:31.920 Judge Jed Raykoff to deny a motion by the US 404 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:36.119 Virgin Islands that would preclude JP Morgan from raising certain 405 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:41.599 so called affirmative defenses to the lawsuit. Usvii's motion seeks 406 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:46.160 to strike only those specific defenses that threatened to expose 407 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:49.799 its relationship with Epstein. The filing said, look, they're not 408 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:52.759 wrong here, and I'll tell you what the USVII is 409 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.559 playing with fire. If I was one of these survivors, 410 00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:58.880 I'd be starting a lawsuit against the US Virgin Islands 411 00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:02.359 to get restitution, especially if I got abused there. So 412 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:04.359 you mean to tell me I get abused on your 413 00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:08.319 island under your watch, but somehow you pocket one hundred 414 00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:11.440 and twenty five million and I get un goats. Yeah, okay, 415 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:14.759 that's gonna go over well. In a footnote, the filing 416 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.119 said the Virgin Islands had three governors over the past 417 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:23.839 sixteen years, John DeJong, Kenneth Mapp, and current Governor Albert 418 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.960 Bryan Jr. As detailed here in Epstein had close ties 419 00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:31.000 to each of them. That footnote said, and that is 420 00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:33.319 not a lie either. All of those people had ties 421 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.920 to Epstein, money connections, the whole thing. And all of 422 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.039 these local bureaucrats that are now showing up to the 423 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.359 party talking about justice needs to be served after they've 424 00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:47.000 been filling their pockets with Epstein's plunder. 425 00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.720 Are some of the biggest goofballs. 426 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:52.920 Going and they should be exposed for their bullshit Earlier Tuesday, 427 00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:56.200 another court filing for the first time revealed that Brian 428 00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:59.920 is scheduled to be deposed June sixth for the lawsuit. 429 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:04.359 A source familiar with the situation told CNBC that JP 430 00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:08.440 Morgan requested the deposition of Brian, who has been governor 431 00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:13.000 since twenty nineteen. Well, this is a trap from mister Bryan, 432 00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.400 no doubt about it, and he better be very, very 433 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:20.720 careful he doesn't talk himself straight into a perjury charge. J. P. Morgan, 434 00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.759 CEO of Jamie Diamond, is scheduled to be deposed in 435 00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:28.279 the suit Friday. In New York, Raykoff last week authorized 436 00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:31.279 the Virgin Islands to serve as subpoena for Tesla's CEO 437 00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:35.440 Elon Musk on his electric car company, seeking documents that 438 00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:40.400 Musk may have showing any communications involving him, Epstein and 439 00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:44.480 JP Morgan. That subpoena is based on suspicion by the 440 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:48.480 territory that Epstein may have referred Musk or tried to 441 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.799 refer him to the bank as a client. Epstein, a 442 00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:55.000 former friend of Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, maintained a 443 00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:57.960 home on a private island in the territory where he 444 00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:02.000 sexually abused many young women over the years, he used 445 00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:05.480 money from his JP Morgan accounts to pay women and 446 00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:09.359 fly them there. In its filing Tuesday, JP Morgan noted 447 00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:13.319 that when Epstein was released from a Florida jail after 448 00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:17.039 pleading guilty to procuring a minor for sex, he tried 449 00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:20.000 to arrange for his parole to be transferred from the 450 00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:23.640 state to the Virgin Islands, where he registered as a 451 00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.920 sex offender. He also maintained his primary residence in the territory, 452 00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:33.680 which put him under USVII law enforcements, direct jurisdiction and supervision. 453 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.920 The filing said, remember, as bad as JP Morgan is, 454 00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:40.960 and they're bad as hell, they didn't have the power 455 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:43.880 to arrest Jeffrey Epstein. They didn't have the power to 456 00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:46.440 seize his bank account. They didn't have the power to 457 00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:50.279 step in and drop some RICO indictments on them. But 458 00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:53.319 the US Virgin Islands did. Why didn't they do that? 459 00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.920 Why didn't they step up and stop Jeffrey Epstein from 460 00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:59.759 doing what he was doing. That's really the only question 461 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.000 that should be asked. I don't care about all of 462 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.920 the other bullshit. I don't care about them whitewashing it 463 00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:07.279 and I don't care about them trying to make excuses. 464 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.759 The fact is they helped Epstein, they furthered his criminal enterprise, 465 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:15.119 and not only that, they profited from it. So now 466 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.720 not only did they profit from the crimes, they're going 467 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.000 to profit when it's time for restitution, even though they 468 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:25.880 never held anyone responsible. So how in the hell is 469 00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.640 the US Virgin Islands entitled to any money here whatsoever? 470 00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:33.000 Can somebody please explain that to me? The bank alleges 471 00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.440 there was a decades long quid pro quo between Epstein 472 00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:43.079 and the USVII government that took three forms. Yes yes, yes, First, 473 00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:48.200 high ranking USVII officials spent years courting and gladly accepting 474 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:53.440 Epstein's influence in the forms of gifts, favors, and political donations, 475 00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:59.480 the filing said. Second, in exchange, USVII granted Epstein preferential 476 00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:03.079 treatment in the form of more than redacted amount million 477 00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.680 in tax incentives, among other benefits. Third, and most troubling, 478 00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:13.599 USVII protected Epstein, fostering the perfect conditions for Epstein's criminal 479 00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:18.160 conduct to continue undetected. The problem is it wasn't undetected. 480 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:20.920 You knew about it too. JP Morgan don't act like 481 00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:24.400 you had no idea. You're both culpable. So it's like 482 00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:27.680 watching the Taliban and al Qaeda argue about. 483 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:28.200 Who's right here. 484 00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:32.880 Basically, specifically, the filing says, Epstein supported the candidacy of 485 00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.799 Stacy Plaskett, the Virgin Islands delegate to the US House 486 00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:41.799 of Representatives, after she worked for the USVII Economic Development Authority, 487 00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:47.440 which awarded Epstein massive tax benefits. Plaskett also worked at 488 00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:51.079 a law firm that represented him in business affairs, The 489 00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:54.640 filing says, and keep in mind, Stacey Plaskett, she had 490 00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:58.599 a very prominent position during the January sixth committee. Right, 491 00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:01.400 So how is it that all like this who had 492 00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:05.440 such ties to Epstein is getting such a prominent position. Well, 493 00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:08.079 I'll tell you why, because nobody in the Congress or 494 00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:11.559 the Senate gives one single fuck about what Epstein did 495 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:14.359 not unless they can use it politically to hit one 496 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:17.640 of their enemies over the head with Besides that, the 497 00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:20.720 people who were affected, the fact that they were laundering money, 498 00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:23.839 the fact that the most powerful people in our society 499 00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.319 were hanging out with this dude, none of that matters. 500 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.559 Epstein and his employees donated more than thirty thousand dollars 501 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.599 to Plaskets congressional races, according to the Bank. 502 00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:34.960 So no Julie K. 503 00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:39.559 Brown article no hard charging journalist wants to dive in 504 00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:43.119 to Stacey Plaskett and her relationship with Epstein. Oh I 505 00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:47.039 wonder why could that have something to do with Once again, 506 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:50.480 circling back to the comment made by Nancy Pelosi's daughter, 507 00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:52.960 some of our faives are going to get caught up 508 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.160 in this. I feel like the same kind of dive 509 00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.359 that was done on Acosta should be done here. And 510 00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:02.599 if the legac media was serious about their shit, they'd 511 00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:03.200 be doing it. 512 00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:03.920 But they're not. 513 00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:08.319 They're more interested in dividing you with carefully curated and 514 00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:14.200 crafted wedge issues. The filing said that Epstein's primary conduit 515 00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.759 for spreading the money and influence through Virgin Island's government 516 00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.680 was then First Lady Cecialed du Jong, the wife of 517 00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:24.680 former Governor de Jong, who served from two thousand and 518 00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:28.720 seven through twenty fifteen, and despite her public role and 519 00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:34.359 official duties, First Lady de Jong managed Epstein's USVII based companies, 520 00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:39.640 receiving from Epstein a salary, bonuses and other benefits. The 521 00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:43.279 filing said Now, remember this is the first lady of 522 00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:47.240 the island. Okay, her dude was the governor, the man, 523 00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:51.359 the top dog on the island, and she was packing 524 00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:55.680 her purse full of Epstein's money. And the USVII wants 525 00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:58.799 to talk about other people being complicit. Take a look 526 00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:02.920 in the mirror. Much of the details of the claims 527 00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:06.480 related to Cecile DeJong are redacted in the filing, but 528 00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:09.279 in one section, the bank says that in addition to 529 00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:13.279 working for his companies, she extensively lobbied on his behalf 530 00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:17.519 with government officials, including the governor. Yeah, there's no conflict 531 00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:21.160 of interest there. Everything's on the up and up. In 532 00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:24.960 another heavily redacted section, the filing says the Virgin Islands 533 00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:29.920 aided Epstein's criminal activity. The specific allegations as to how 534 00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:32.799 the government did that is blacked out. Well, by letting 535 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:36.440 them operate taking money to look the other way. We 536 00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:38.960 all know how this scam works, and it's been going 537 00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:42.319 on forever. You go to an impoverished nation or a 538 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:45.519 nation that's having some issues financially, you bring a bunch 539 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.240 of money and you start spreading that money around to 540 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:51.359 the local officials, and before you know it. Everybody wants 541 00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:53.200 to play ball, and now you have a bunch of 542 00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:56.519 government officials on the payroll who are corrupt, and you 543 00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:59.359 can do whatever you want. And that's basically what Epstein 544 00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:03.519 had going on down here. In another heavily redacted section, 545 00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:07.559 the filing says the Virgin Islands aided Epstein's criminal activity. 546 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.799 The specific allegations as to how the government did that 547 00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:15.000 is blacked out, almost completely redacted. Is a section of 548 00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:20.279 the filing entitled, Epstein exerted influence over usvis sex offender 549 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:27.680 legislation and received lax monitoring. And unfortunately that was the story. 550 00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:31.440 Wherever Epstein was right lax monitoring, he caught a deal. 551 00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:35.039 Everybody hooked them up. You had sy Vance's office, the 552 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:39.039 Prosecutor's office in New York arguing that Jeffrey Epstein shouldn't 553 00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:42.680 be classified as a dangerous pedophile. So that just tells 554 00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.119 you everything you need to know about the connections this 555 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:49.920 idiot had. In one redacted section, the bank's lawyers wrote, 556 00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:54.480 while the USVII did conduct site visits of Epstein's residences, 557 00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:56.559 those inspections. 558 00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:57.640 Were cursory at best. 559 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:03.200 Despite the direct infusions of lucrative tax incentives redacted and 560 00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:08.079 lacks enforcement. Epstein still could not freely transport and exploit 561 00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:13.559 young women without assistance from the USVI government officials. Look, 562 00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:18.039 these are very very serious allegations, but allegations that I 563 00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:20.920 think have legs. There's no way Epstein could do this 564 00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:24.400 without the help of these corrupt officials on the island 565 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:29.039 point blank period. In exchange for Epstein's cash and gifts, 566 00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:32.759 USVII made life easy for him. The filing said. The 567 00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:37.039 government mitigated any burdens from his sex offender status, and 568 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.119 it made sure that no one asked too many questions 569 00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:43.880 about his transport and keeping of young girls on his island. 570 00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.799 The lawsuit against J. P. Morgan was filed in late 571 00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:52.119 December by then Virgin Island's Attorney General Denise George, who 572 00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:54.839 a month earlier had obtained a one hundred and five 573 00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:59.599 million dollar settlement from Epstein's estate. It is absurd, its obscene, 574 00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:01.759 and and they should be forced to pay all that 575 00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:04.880 money back, but pay it to these survivors, and not 576 00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:08.480 only pay that money back, but compounded with interest as well, 577 00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:12.719 because they basically stole from girls that were abused by Epstein. 578 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:16.280 You really think the USVII had damages done to it. 579 00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:18.679 They were the ones helping this dude out, so I 580 00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:20.519 don't want to hear shit from them. And I've been 581 00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:23.480 saying this for how long now. I'm shocked that took 582 00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:27.360 this long for JP Morgan and their lawyers to jump 583 00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:30.440 on board and start pointing the finger at the US 584 00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:34.400 Virgin Islands because these dudes are culpable and they're certainly complicit. 585 00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:40.119 Days after she filed that suit, Brian fire George, who 586 00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:44.280 had been Attorney General for four years. The governor fired George, 587 00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.760 reportedly because she failed to alert him that she planned 588 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:50.639 to sue JP Morgan, which is the largest bank in 589 00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:55.039 the United States. Despite George's firing, the Virgin Islands has 590 00:34:55.079 --> 00:35:00.320 continued to aggressively pursue its litigation against the bank. On Tuesday, 591 00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:04.000 there was another in a series of private telephone conferences 592 00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:08.519 with Raykoff over the case. A public docket entry summarized 593 00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:12.280 the outcome of that conference, which included lawyers for the 594 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:17.239 Virgin Islands, JP Morgan, former JP Morgan executives, Jess Staley, 595 00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:21.360 and an Epstein accuser who has a separate, similar lawsuit 596 00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:25.360 pending against the bank. JP Morgan is trying to shift 597 00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:28.559 any legal liability it may have in the suit to Staley, 598 00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.760 who was a point of contact for Epstein at the bank, 599 00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:34.880 and that's bullshit as well, JP Morgan. They have to 600 00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:38.599 suffer Jess Staley. He has to pay the price, and 601 00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:41.519 so should the US Virgin Islands. But instead all the 602 00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:46.360 USVII has done here is profit. The deposition of Albert 603 00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:49.679 Bryant Junior is ordered to proceed on June sixth, the 604 00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:54.039 docket entry says. The entry also says that all parties 605 00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:58.159 other than JP Morgan are ordered to contact former officers 606 00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:03.400 and directors of JP Morgan only through council. CNBC requested 607 00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:06.320 comment from lawyers for the Virgin Islands and from JP 608 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:11.360 Morgan about the conference on Tuesday. Epstein, sixty six, died 609 00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:15.159 by suicide, apparently in a Manhattan jail in August of 610 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:18.679 twenty nineteen, a month after he was arrested and charged 611 00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:23.079 in Manhattan federal court with child sex trafficking. Epstein pleaded 612 00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:26.199 guilty in two thousand and eight to a Florida state 613 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.559 charge of soliciting sex from an underage girl and was 614 00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:33.159 sentenced to thirteen months in jail. His prior criminal case 615 00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:35.920 and Stinton jail which were known to JP Morgan at 616 00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:38.480 the time, came in the middle of his tenure as 617 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:41.519 a customer of the bank, where he maintained accounts from 618 00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:44.679 nineteen ninety eight until the bank severed its relationship with 619 00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:48.960 him in twenty thirteen. Epstein became a customer of Deutsche 620 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:53.360 Bank after that. Deutsche Bank last week agreed to settle 621 00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:57.519 a Manhattan federal court lawsuit filed by another Epstein accuser 622 00:36:57.719 --> 00:37:01.599 who alleged that bank enabled and benefit from his sex trafficking. 623 00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:05.880 Deutsche Bank will pay Epstein victims seventy five million in 624 00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:09.039 that deal. Now, seventy five million dollars. That's a lot 625 00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:11.599 of money, isn't it. Well, how is it that the 626 00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:15.239 US Virgin Islands gets more than that? Nobody can explain 627 00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:19.880 that to me. Deutsche Bank in twenty twenty agreed to 628 00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.239 pay one hundred and fifty million dollar fine to New 629 00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:26.559 York's financial regulators for its dealings with Epstein and other issues. 630 00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:31.480 We acknowledge our error onboarding Epstein in twenty thirteen and 631 00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:34.679 the weaknesses in our processes, and have learned from our 632 00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:41.199 mistakes and our shortcomings, bank spokesman Dylan Riddle said last week. Yeah, Okay, sure, 633 00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:44.599 I'm sure you guys learned a real hard lesson considering 634 00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:47.159 nobody ever went to jail and not one dollar came 635 00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:50.119 out of your own pocket. But the whole USVII thing 636 00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:53.360 from the jump has been laughable to me. As you 637 00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:56.360 all know, it's well documented. How many episodes do I 638 00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:58.800 have in the catalog where I'm going on and on 639 00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:01.920 and on about the read shown by the US Virgin 640 00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:04.719 Islands And it's not in the pursuit of justice. They've 641 00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:06.840 wrapped it in that flag, but it's not in the 642 00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:10.000 pursuit of justice. It's in the pursuit of greed. Mass 643 00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:13.119 is justice, and it's about time somebody called them out 644 00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:16.559 on it. All right, folks, that's gonna do it for 645 00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:18.800 this one. All of the information that goes with the 646 00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:21.840 episode can be found in the description box. 647 00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:23.280 Dude, you have a rive. 648 00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:28.039 What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. 649 00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:32.239 As the lawsuit between JP Morgan and the United States 650 00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.840 Virgin Islands continues to work its way through the system, 651 00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:39.599 there have been a lot of allegations fired off from 652 00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:43.679 both sides, and in the latest salvo, JP Morgan's really 653 00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:47.559 taking off the gloves and letting loose as far as 654 00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:51.360 the allegations that they're making, and these allegations that they're 655 00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:53.360 making for those of you who might not have been 656 00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:56.440 following this story for a while, they're all true and 657 00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:59.360 there are years and years of receipts that back. 658 00:38:59.199 --> 00:38:59.760 It all up. 659 00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.880 So today we have an article from lawn Crime talking 660 00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:06.440 more about the corruption down in the US Virgin Islands 661 00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:10.000 and how the US Virgin Islands is now being called 662 00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:13.599 on the carpet for their hypocrisy. Today's article is from 663 00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:17.840 lawn Crime and the headline Jeffrey Epstein had close ties 664 00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:22.679 to Virgin Islands governor who fired crusading attorney general behind 665 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:27.840 JP Morgan's suit. According to documents, this article was authored 666 00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:33.320 by Adam Klasfeld and the crusading ag that was fired 667 00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:37.320 none other than Denise George, the architect of the one 668 00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.719 hundred and five million dollar pilfering from the Epstein estate. 669 00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:44.079 So I don't know about crusading ag, more like another 670 00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:48.559 ag who's trying to enrich her buddies, because if she 671 00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:51.159 was worried about justice, she would have went after all 672 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:54.119 of these people in the Virgin Islands who were helping 673 00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:58.280 Jeffrey Epstein, who were complicit in setting them up with charities, 674 00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:01.039 setting them up with all this other bullshit. But no, 675 00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:03.920 they didn't do that, did they. It was all civil. 676 00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:06.639 It was all about trying to get some money. And 677 00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:08.920 if things were as vile down here in the Virgin 678 00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:12.760 Islands as the US Virgin Islands is contending, don't you 679 00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:16.320 think that some people that helped Epstein down here at 680 00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:19.800 the metal level setting up businesses and whatnot should go 681 00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:21.880 to jail or go to prison. But we didn't hear 682 00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:25.079 that from Denise George, not once, so you can spare 683 00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:28.440 me with the whole crusading Attorney general nonsense. I don't 684 00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:33.599 buy that for a minute. Jeffrey Epstein had close ties 685 00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:36.840 to the sitting US Virgin Islands governor who fired the 686 00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:41.320 crusading Attorney general behind a lawsuit accusing JP Morgan Chase 687 00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:45.400 of knowingly profiting from sex trafficking. A court filing alleges 688 00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:49.079 JP Morgan has tried to deflect claims that it was 689 00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:53.199 complicit in Epstein's crimes by pointing the finger back at 690 00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:57.119 one of its accusers, the Virgin Islands government. And look, 691 00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:00.400 two things can be right at the same time. I'm 692 00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:03.800 not sitting here saying that JP Morgan shouldn't be held responsible. 693 00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:04.360 They should. 694 00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:07.159 But for the US Virgin Islands to play this game 695 00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:11.760 of everybody else's culpable and where not is just looney 696 00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:15.519 tunes to me, considering that this was all taking place 697 00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:18.840 at least this part of the conversation in their territory. 698 00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:22.320 Who had subpoena power down there, who could go and 699 00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:25.239 arrest people, who could draw a warrant and kicking a door? 700 00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:29.719 Certainly not JP Morgan. So where was the US Virgin 701 00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:32.519 Island government when all of this was going down. Oh, 702 00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:36.199 that's right, there were profiting on the backside of Epstein's bullshit. 703 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:41.199 Earlier this week, JP Morgan filed a heavily redacted document 704 00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:46.239 claiming the Virgin Islands government actively facilitated and benefited from 705 00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:50.840 Epstein's continued criminal activity. Look, there is nothing incorrect about that, 706 00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:53.960 And as you all know, I hate JP Morgan, I 707 00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:57.639 hate the financial sector overall. So I'm not sitting here 708 00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:00.639 and trying to prop them up. But the facts, the facts, 709 00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:02.920 two things can be right at once, and in this 710 00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:05.679 case I see them as both being right, and that 711 00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:10.079 means JP Morgan and the US Virgin Islands are culpable, 712 00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:14.159 pretty simple. From where I'm sitting. On Thursday, broad swaths 713 00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:18.039 of redactions were lifted from the document, including black lines 714 00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:23.559 shielding passages about sitting Governor Albert Bryan. The USVII had 715 00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:27.800 three governors over the last sixteen years, John DeJong two 716 00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:32.400 thousand and seven to twenty fifteen, Kenneth Mapp twenty fifteen 717 00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:37.440 to twenty nineteen, and Albert Bryan twenty nineteen to the present. 718 00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:41.119 A footnote of the document notes, as detailed here in 719 00:42:41.360 --> 00:42:44.199 Epstein had close ties to each of them. So how 720 00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:46.559 do you get away from that? Right, every single one 721 00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:49.880 of these governors, every one of these big time politicians 722 00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:53.679 down in the US Virgin Islands was connected to Jeffrey Epstein. 723 00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:56.920 And now when the rug gets pulled out from underneath 724 00:42:56.960 --> 00:43:00.679 everybody and it's time to pay the price, all of 725 00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:03.800 a sudden, the US Virgin Islands is also crying about 726 00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:07.400 being a victim. Because if you break it down, what's 727 00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.840 happening here with the US Virgin Islands is they've profited 728 00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:14.719 on both ends. They profited on the criminal conduct of 729 00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:17.119 Jeffrey Epstein, and then on the back end of that 730 00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:21.840 they set themselves up as a victim, and they profited 731 00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:25.159 from the estate money that should have went to the survivors. 732 00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:27.840 Money that should have went to survivors that haven't even 733 00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:30.880 come forward yet. But here we are with the US 734 00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:34.679 Virgin Islands pocketing one hundred and five million dollars and 735 00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:39.719 for what facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's bullshit. Boy, that's a nice reward. 736 00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:46.039 Certain unsealed passages describe donations either solicited by or to Brian. 737 00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:51.159 In twenty eighteen, the now current USVII Governor Albert Bryant 738 00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:56.440 facilitated donations by Epstein to usvii's schools and little leagues 739 00:43:56.639 --> 00:44:00.440 one of those line states. And remember Stacy Plaskett still 740 00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:02.599 going to visit Epstein all the way up to twenty 741 00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:06.960 eighteen at the townhouse. She's confirmed that herself. So she 742 00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:09.880 was there obviously to try and get these funds for 743 00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:12.519 the US Virgin Islands. And they didn't care that Jeffrey 744 00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:14.400 Epstein was a registered sex offender. 745 00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:16.679 What do they care? Nobody cared? 746 00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:19.239 And you know how I know that because their actions 747 00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:23.960 speak much louder than their words ever could. Before being 748 00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:28.480 arrested for sex trafficking, Epstein routinely placed donations to cultivate 749 00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:32.679 an image of a wealthy philanthropist and often, prosecutors say, 750 00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:36.760 to gain access to young victims. Is now convicted accomplice 751 00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:41.079 Glene Maxwell's trial turned up evidence of Epstein's donation to 752 00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:44.800 Interlocan School of the Arts, a summer camp where Epstein 753 00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:48.760 met an anonymous fourteen year old victim who testified under 754 00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:52.480 the pseudonym Jane. And I don't think Maxwell's trial is 755 00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:54.920 the one that revealed that we were all talking about 756 00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:57.960 Interlocan School for quite some time. And you have to 757 00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:01.719 remember that even before Maxwell's trial popped up, there was 758 00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:04.679 a bunch of court documents out there floating around. There 759 00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:09.199 was a bunch of commentary from these survivors that just 760 00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:13.719 hadn't hit the mainstream legacy media, and once the survivors 761 00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:16.519 took their story to social media, well we see what 762 00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:20.920 happened in the aftermath of that. JP Morgan's filing contains 763 00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:25.239 few details about the charitable causes in which Brian allegedly 764 00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:28.239 sought to insert Epstein, but there are a few clues. 765 00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:32.920 One exhibit is described as showing Governor Bryan's suggestions for 766 00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:37.480 which schools Epstein should donate fifty thousand dollars. Another exhibit 767 00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:41.440 states Albert Bryan asked that the thirty thousand dollars go 768 00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:43.880 to VI Little League, and this is what they do, 769 00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:46.280 and this is what they've always done. And remember this 770 00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:50.159 was all after Epstein was already a registered sex offender. 771 00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:52.519 So none of these people have that excuse to fall 772 00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:55.840 back on, and certainly not Stacy Plaski. You would think 773 00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:58.880 that she'd be under way more pressure here for her 774 00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:02.599 relationship with Epstein, considering all of her nonsense, all of 775 00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:05.440 her carrying on. I would think that at some point 776 00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:08.239 this lady's going to have to answer some hard questions 777 00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:12.719 about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. But unfortunately, like we know, 778 00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:17.639 the legacy media loves to protect their faves. A third 779 00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:21.119 describes a discussion of a twenty five thousand dollars private 780 00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:24.079 gift to current Governor Bryan's inaugural committee. 781 00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:25.440 Oh well, isn't that nice? 782 00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:27.920 And I'm sure Epstein was just doing it out of 783 00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.079 the kindness of his hard folks. It had nothing to 784 00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:32.360 do with quid pro quo, It had nothing to do 785 00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:36.639 with hooking up these politicians down in the US Virgin 786 00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:40.440 Islands hoping that on the backside, he gets something in return, 787 00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:44.239 and what did he get in return? Protection able to 788 00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:50.199 maneuver financially basically, however, he wants tax breaks out the wazoo. 789 00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:53.599 But yeah, the US Virgin Islands, they're a victim here. 790 00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:58.159 Days after ex Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George sue 791 00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:02.320 JP Morgan over its relatetionationship with Epstein, Brian fired her 792 00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:07.440 without explanation. Local press reported that George hadn't informed Brian 793 00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:11.480 about the lawsuit before filing it, but the Governor's office 794 00:47:11.559 --> 00:47:16.559 downplayed any connection between the two events. George was replaced 795 00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:20.440 by her deputy, Carol Thomas Jacobs, and the AG's post 796 00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:25.159 is currently under the stewardship of Ariel K. Smith, whom 797 00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:28.960 Brian nominated in April. Gives you confidence down there, huh. 798 00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:32.239 There is zero oversight in places like this, and when 799 00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:34.519 you have all of these people complicit the way we 800 00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:37.360 see them complicit here, very easy for a guy like 801 00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:42.199 Jeffrey Epstein to operate, and not only operate, but the flourish. 802 00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:45.760 A spokesperson for the governor didn't immediately respond to an 803 00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:50.679 email requesting comment. Another part of the document details former 804 00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:54.719 First Lady cecialed Dejong's alleged role in tweaking the Virgin 805 00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:59.280 Island sex offender legislation to Epstein's liking. Not only do 806 00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:02.639 you have this happen happening with her working towards getting 807 00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:06.400 the sex offender registry buttoned up for Epstein, you had 808 00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:09.960 the New York prosecutors and I'll keep saying this, arguing 809 00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:12.719 on Epstein's behalf that he wasn't going to be a 810 00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:16.000 repeat offender, that he was a level one offender, not 811 00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:19.800 a Level three offender. Can anyone explain that? Has anyone 812 00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:22.679 really asked the New York Prosecutor's office what they were 813 00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.800 up to and why they were making that argument considering 814 00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:28.400 who we were dealing with, of course not Let's hear 815 00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:29.280 some more about. 816 00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:31.159 Alex Acosta airline credit. 817 00:48:31.239 --> 00:48:33.559 Is there anything you want me to do at the 818 00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:36.800 hearing tomorrow? Dejen wrote to Epstein before the passage of 819 00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:40.239 the legislation. According to the document, I am going to 820 00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:43.199 try to find out if anyone from Justice has been 821 00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:47.559 asked to testify again on Monday. JP Morgan claims that 822 00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:52.679 Epstein's personal attorney, Maria Hodge, exchanged emails and phone calls 823 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:56.800 with the Territory's Department of Justice and Attorney General about 824 00:48:56.880 --> 00:49:00.880 changes to the bill, which ultimately weren't to with satisfaction. 825 00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:04.800 Imagine being a child molester, a sex offender and still 826 00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:07.719 calling the shots down here the way he was. So 827 00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:10.760 don't tell me about the US Virgin Islands getting any 828 00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:13.840 more money. One hundred and five million isn't enough, I 829 00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:16.840 guess not, because their greed is once again showing here, 830 00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:21.400 but this time they might pay for it first, Lady DeJong, 831 00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:24.880 the bank says, offered Epstein comfort. I know this was 832 00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:27.679 a horrible week, and I'm really sorry about how things 833 00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:31.000 panned out, she allegedly wrote. Not being able to take 834 00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:35.079 someone out their word is incredibly frustrating. However, all is 835 00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:37.840 not lost, and we will figure something out by coming 836 00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:40.480 up with a game plan to get around these obstacles. 837 00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:42.599 In other words, we'll come up with a game plan 838 00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:44.360 to get around the laws that were put on the 839 00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:47.360 books because you're a child molester. But don't worry, we'll 840 00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:51.039 get around that because I'm married to mister DeJong here 841 00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:53.920 and I can do whatever I want. So my question is, 842 00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:55.159 where's the rage brigade? 843 00:49:55.559 --> 00:49:56.280 Oh? That's right. 844 00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:58.800 They only show up when it's convenient to them and 845 00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:04.000 their political narratives. JP Morgan claims that DeJong delivered by 846 00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:07.599 crafting a plan to travel from and to the Virgin 847 00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:12.519 Islands with the help of then local politicians. So here's 848 00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:18.000 the facts, folks. Okay, they're all culpable, JP Morgan, Virgin Islands, 849 00:50:18.199 --> 00:50:22.400 all of those politicians that were in office, that were 850 00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:25.199 in bed with Epstein, all of them, they're all culpable. 851 00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:27.599 So I'm going to be interested to see how this 852 00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:31.159 gets responded to by the US Virgin Islands moving forward 853 00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:34.119 here with their next court filing, because you know they're 854 00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:38.159 going to respond to this. And honestly, the US Virgin Islands, 855 00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:41.000 in my opinion, has really stepped in it here. I 856 00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:43.800 don't think they expected a full frontal as salt the 857 00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:46.519 way they're getting it from JP Morgan. I don't think 858 00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:49.239 they expected them to turn the tables the way they have. 859 00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:52.519 And I think that the US Virgin Islands has now 860 00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:56.239 been caught flat foot because for years their buddies in 861 00:50:56.280 --> 00:50:59.599 the legacy media didn't really dig into this story. I mean, 862 00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:03.039 a mad and stacy plasket up there yelling and screaming 863 00:51:03.079 --> 00:51:06.559 from an ivory tower about this that or the other thing. Meanwhile, 864 00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:10.119 she's paling around with Jeffrey Epstein. Give me a break already. 865 00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:14.480 So now the ball's in the court of the legacy media. 866 00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:16.840 Are they going to do their job or are they 867 00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:21.199 going to continue to whitewash their faves participation in Jeffrey 868 00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:25.039 Epstein's criminal enterprise? All right, folks, that's going to do 869 00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:27.280 it for this one. All of the information that goes 870 00:51:27.320 --> 00:51:30.480 with the episode can be found in the description box.
