1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,599 Speaker 1: Up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Today 2 00:00:04,639 --> 00:00:07,519 we're going to talk about two articles, the first one 3 00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:12,000 from NBC News dealing with Jess Staley and the second 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,640 one from Fox Business dealing with Paul Barrett, another executive 5 00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:21,320 at JP Morgan who was meeting up with Jeffrey Epstein 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,719 after Epstein was already a sex offender. So let's start 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,800 with Jess Stay and the article from NBC News headline, 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,640 former JP Morgan exec says bank is using him as 9 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,200 a pr shield in the Epstein case. The Bank suit 10 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,479 Jess Staley in March, saying he should be held liable 11 00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:46,320 for any financial penalties it faces from lawsuits alleging it 12 00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:51,840 facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking enterprise. Imagine trying to pin 13 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,039 at all on Jess Day. That shit is laughable at best. 14 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,719 And as you all know, I'm certainly not an advocate 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,920 for Jess Day. But this dude didn't act in a 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,799 vacuum on his own. He wasn't sitting around in the 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,079 office at JP Morgan making all of these decisions all alone, 18 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,040 just like Alex Acosta didn't make that plea deal all 19 00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:14,920 on his own either, And anybody telling you that he did, 20 00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:18,439 they should have their heads examined. This article was authored 21 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,680 by Chloe Atkins, a former JP Morgan Chase executive accused 22 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,719 of having a profound friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, has asked 23 00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:31,200 a federal judge to dismiss the bank's lawsuit against him 24 00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:35,040 over his ties with Epstein, a convicted sex offender. The 25 00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:37,640 bank suit Jess Staley in March, saying he should be 26 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,799 held liable for any financial penalties it faces from lawsuits 27 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,400 alleging the bank facilitated Epstein's sex trafficking enterprise. Guess what 28 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,840 they should both be held liable. And the whole strategy 29 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,519 here of trying to blame one another, it's pretty laughable 30 00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:58,400 because everybody who's been following along knows that both sides here, 31 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,040 Jess Staley and JP Morgan, have plenty of blame the 32 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,400 shoulder between the two of them. The suits, which were 33 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:08,439 brought by the US Virgin Islands and a woman identified 34 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,319 as Jane Doe Number one, claimed the financial institution turned 35 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,800 a blind eye towards Epstein's conduct, adding that it didn't 36 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,800 comply with federal laws for years while providing services to 37 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:25,919 him and benefiting from Epstein's business, all facts, Jeffrey Epstein 38 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,919 and his pals over at JP Morgan, You really think 39 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,080 they were going through all of the proper channels and 40 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,080 the proper steps. You think that they were in compliance 41 00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:38,000 with Title thirty one, because we know that they weren't. 42 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:42,360 We know that Darren Endyke was structuring the money he 43 00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:45,280 was taking out of the bank, taking it out in 44 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,439 amounts that wouldn't trigger Title thirty one notifications, and that's 45 00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:53,319 called structuring. So say you go to the bank and 46 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,280 you want to take out fourteen grand, and instead of 47 00:02:57,319 --> 00:02:59,879 having the Title thirty one kick in, what you do 48 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,360 is you take it out in smaller increments seventy five hundred, 49 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,080 ninety three hundred whatever. But the idea is at the bank, 50 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,759 they're supposed to catch that when you're structuring, you're withdrawals 51 00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:13,800 or your deposits or whatever. They're supposed to catch that. 52 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,319 And when they catch it, they're supposed to send a SAR, 53 00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:21,400 meaning a suspicious activity report, over to Finsen and it 54 00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:24,080 should be registered and filed. And none of that was 55 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,319 happening here. Nobody was flagging the deals that Epstein was making. 56 00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:31,599 Nobody was flagging the transactions that were happening on a 57 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,759 regular basis. It is alleged that human trafficking was the 58 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,080 principal business of the accounts Epstein maintained at JP Morgan, 59 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,199 according to the US Virgin Islands complaint. The two suits 60 00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:48,319 seek money damages. In court filings, Staley said the Wall 61 00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:51,919 Street Giant is using him as a public relation shield 62 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,479 in its legal battle over working with Epstein and trying 63 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,439 to deflect blame from its failure. Look, you both failed, Staley. 64 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:03,560 You failed as a human being for even associating with 65 00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:07,319 this guy and advocating for him at JP Morgan. And 66 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,479 of course JP Morgan failed on many fronts as well. 67 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,879 You're the ones who accepted him as a client. At 68 00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:16,680 the end of the day, it wasn't Jess Staley, it 69 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,120 was you. So you hired Jess Staley, and in that 70 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,120 capacity he was working as a representative of JP Morgan. 71 00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:28,759 It's pretty cut and dry. Staley, according to court documents, 72 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,800 said he didn't have any decision making authority over Epstein's accounts, 73 00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:36,240 adding that the bank has failed to state viable claims 74 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,879 against him. And look, I don't really disagree with Staley here. 75 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,079 I highly doubt that he was the guy that could 76 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,240 just make everything happen, and nobody else in the company 77 00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:48,879 could have stepped in. That's a bunch of bullshit. Sorry, 78 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,040 I don't buy it. That's not how these big institutions work. 79 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,680 Whether or not JP Morgan is liable to DOE and 80 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,639 the USVII remains to be seen. What is c is 81 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,680 that the bank cannot treat mister Staley as its public 82 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,720 relation shield by asserting claims that lack any legal or 83 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,199 factual basis. Court documents state Staley called on the court 84 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,839 to dismiss the suit because the bank waited over ten 85 00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:18,079 years to file these claims and it falls outside the 86 00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:23,800 statue of limitations. After all, numerous JP Morgan employees knew 87 00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:26,839 that mister Staley had a relationship with Epstein, and the 88 00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:31,000 bank had access to mister Staley's communications from his tenure 89 00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:35,759 that JP Morgan now alleges reflect that relationship. Court document's 90 00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:40,279 allege and look again, he is not wrong. The people 91 00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:44,079 at JP Morgan have some nerve trying to pitch this narrative. 92 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,360 I mean, nobody's buying it. Anybody who followed this case, 93 00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:50,199 anybody who knows what's going on, knows for a fact 94 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,399 that JP Morgan was involved here all the way up 95 00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:57,600 to their eyeballs. JP Morgan Chases Bank did not immediately 96 00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:01,600 respond to a request for comment. Epstein was convicted in 97 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,120 two thousand and eight of procuring a child for prostitution 98 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,720 and died by suicide allegedly in twenty nineteen at a 99 00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:12,959 Manhattan correctional center where he was being held on federal 100 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,480 sex trafficking charges. Staley spent more than thirty years with 101 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,519 JP Morgan Chase and later went on to work at Barclays. 102 00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:25,399 He stepped down as Barclay CEO in twenty twenty one 103 00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:30,360 after an investigation into his relationship with Epstein. Yeah, an 104 00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:33,839 investigation that showed us nothing. Oh, we did our internal 105 00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:36,639 investigation and you know, we found a couple of things. 106 00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:39,800 But we're going to continue to back Staley anyway, because 107 00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:44,720 you know, profits over people in all. In February, unredacted 108 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:47,759 parts of the lawsuit brought by the US Virgin Islands, 109 00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:51,160 where Epstein had a home, showed that Staley and Epstein 110 00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:55,639 exchanged and estimated two hundred emails from two thousand and 111 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,600 eight to twenty twelve. These communications show a close personal 112 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:05,000 relationship and profound friendship between the two men, and even 113 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,000 suggest that Staley may have been involved in Epstein's sex 114 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,600 trafficking operation. The US Virgin Island said in court documents 115 00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:17,079 in February, and now we're not talking about some journalists 116 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,480 saying this, or some blogger or some Yahoo on Twitter. 117 00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:24,639 This is what's being alleged in court documents. So this 118 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,279 is serious stuff. The only problem is this isn't silatious 119 00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:31,240 enough for all of the grifters that populate the world 120 00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:34,879 and the universe of Epstein. It has to be a 121 00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:37,759 lot more salacious for them. You know, politicians that they 122 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,240 hate shit like that. The financial sector, ah, shrug their 123 00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:44,720 shoulders and keep it moving because it's not that interesting. Meanwhile, 124 00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,560 the financial sector is behind all of this madness, behind 125 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,519 all of this disgusting behavior. They're the ones propping it up, 126 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,439 they're the ones enabling it, and they're the ones making 127 00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:59,360 it financially feasible for all of this to occur. So 128 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,439 it all makes me shake my head when people ignore 129 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,759 the financial aspect of this. In one instant, Staley emailed 130 00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:10,399 Epstein in July of twenty ten, maybe they're tracking you. 131 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,519 That was fun, say, how to snow white Epstein responded 132 00:08:14,519 --> 00:08:18,000 by asking what character would you like next, which Staley 133 00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:22,160 followed up with Beauty and the Beast. Epstein then replied, well, 134 00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:26,199 one side is available. When JP Morgan Chase Banks sued 135 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,600 Staley in March, it said he was the powerful financial 136 00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:34,200 executive who sexually assaulted Jane Doe Number one. The unnamed 137 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,600 woman alleged in her suit against the bank that one 138 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,240 of Epstein's friends used aggressive force in his sexual assault 139 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,320 of her and informed Jane Doe one that he had 140 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,279 Epstein's permission to do what he wanted to her, but 141 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,279 hadn't named the executive out of fear. Staley called the 142 00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:55,799 accusations baseless in court filings this week. Oh yeah, real baseless, 143 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,879 Jess Staley. And it's always comical when these roaches get 144 00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:03,840 nailed whenever they're exposed for their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, 145 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,679 watch them scurry away real quick and try and blame 146 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,960 one another. It's never their fault. Nobody ever takes self 147 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,039 responsibility for their bullshitting around. It's always the next guy. Oh, 148 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,440 it was JP Morgan's fault as a whole. Oh no, 149 00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:19,639 it was Jeff Staley's fault. Breaking news, it was all 150 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,559 of your fault, all right, So onto the next article 151 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,960 from Fox Business headline, City executive who met with Jeffrey 152 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,799 Epstein is out of a job. City Group senior executive 153 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,080 reportedly maintained Epstein connection while working with rival JP Morgan. 154 00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:41,360 Of course he did. All of these guys were getting 155 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,200 fat at the table of Jeffrey Epstein. They were all 156 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,639 benefiting one way or the other. And chances are a 157 00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:50,039 lot of that money is of the dark variety, the 158 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,360 kind that can't be traced. Who knows how to hide 159 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,200 money better than the financial sector. Then all you have 160 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,320 to do is look at all of Epstein's behavior offshore, 161 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,399 with all of the offshore banks, all of the other bullshit, 162 00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:05,039 and it all becomes crystal clear what was going on here. 163 00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:11,000 This article was authored by Timothy Narrazzi, a City Group 164 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,159 senior executive has been let go just days after reports 165 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,679 surfaced that he previously met with disgraced financier, pedophile, and 166 00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:23,320 sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. You know, I'm really shocked, folks, 167 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,200 that another person in the financial sector was paling around, 168 00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:30,799 chumming around with Jeffrey Epstein and his stupid jerk off face. 169 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:35,039 City Group dismissed Paul Barrett after learning the senior executive 170 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,399 met with Epstein while working for rival bank JP Morgan. 171 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,799 According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, City 172 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,720 groups like, look, we have enough problems. The last thing 173 00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:48,200 we need is some of Epstein's stink permeating on us. 174 00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:50,200 So we're just gonna get rid of this dude and 175 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,039 keep it moving. How much is your golden parachute here? 176 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,320 It is, buddy, have a great life. Until recently, City 177 00:10:57,399 --> 00:11:01,320 was unaware of Paul Barrett's association with Jeffrey Epstein, which 178 00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:04,759 predated his employment at our firm. The bank told the 179 00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:09,360 Financial Times, mister Barrett is no longer employed by City. Well, 180 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,720 good job on City's part. Get rid of all of 181 00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:15,320 these scumbags that hung out with Epstein at all. That's it, 182 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,799 all of them are gone. Do you really want to 183 00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:21,600 do business with anybody who was cafording with this scumbag? 184 00:11:21,879 --> 00:11:25,879 I certainly don't.
