Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. Before we dive into the article, I just
wanted to take a quick second to acknowledge and thank
all of the people that have reached out to me
to wish me a happy birthday. And also for those
of you who might have had some problems with the
show reloading and updating on Apple, all of that should
be taken care of. I've reached out to Apple, and
I've reached out to Spreaker, and there should be no issues.
But if there are, please make sure that you send
me some emails so I can get those addressed, because
a lot of times I don't even know that an
issue is occurring unless you folks tell me. And always
keep in mind, if you see the show not refreshing,
just know that there's going to be updates, and whatever's
going on has to be a technical issue, because we
have updates every single day. And if I'm going to
take time off, believe me, I'll let you know. I'm
not just going to stop recording and leave you folks
high and dry. In fact, over the past five years,
anytime I've won on vacation, I've just taken my mobile
studio with me, and I've just recorded from wherever I'm at.
So if there's ever any disruption in the downloads or
anything like that, just know that there's some sort of
technical issue going on, or maybe I was getting shadow band.
I try not to be too cynical about things, but
considering I've already lost one podcast, the Jeffrey Epstein Show
back during the COVID days due to censorship, I'm always
ready for the other shoe to drop. And considering there
was a disruption starting around February twenty second when these
documents were supposed to drop and they didn't drop, sure
makes me wonder. Meanwhile, at the same time, you have
these Johnny cum latelies who don't know shit about this
story showing up and getting platform by some of the
biggest outlets out there. So you have to ask yourself
what message are they trying to hide and what message
are they trying to promote? And at this point, I'd
say that I'm probably one of the most censored people
when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, And you know what,
I'll wear that shit like a badge of honor. What
it tells you is that we're over the target here
like usual, And that's because we don't drift off into
fucking fantasy land. I mean, if people want fantasy, they
can go read George R. R. Martin or go to TikTok.
But if you want the real story about Jeffrey Epstein
and what him and his disgusting ass friends were up to,
well you've come to the right place, all right. So
now that my stupid ass preamble is done, why don't
we dive directly into this article from the Deli Mail
headline ex. Barclay's boss Jess Daily admits having sex with
Jeffrey Epstein's employee in New York building where pedophile trafficked
underage girls. Another one of my predictions or one of
my assertions that have now come true. I mean, we're
batting like a thousand here on the podcast. Just about
everything that we've talked about, everything that we've foreshadowed over
the years the last three, four or five years, has
come to fruition. And how did I know this? Well,
listen to the girls, Listen to the people that were there,
Listen to the witnesses that knew what was going down.
Don't listen to some jerk off that gets platformed on
Joe Rogan because he has some opinions that happen to
be popular right now. And isn't it strange that all
these people now feel comfortable coming out with these kinds
of opinions after October seventh. It's all just so ludicrous.
The whole entire sy op that's being run is out
of control. These people are out here talking about, Oh,
it's the massade. Meanwhile, anybody who knows what the hell's
going on here knows that it was the CIA who
got Jeffrey Epstein in the game. Now was he farmed
out to the massad? Most certainly. But if you listen
to these grifters tell it, they'll have you believe in
that Jeffrey Epstein was some kind of massad. James Bond
Bro was nothing of the sort. Bro was an asset
in the same vein that Osama bin Laden was an asset.
So was Jeffrey Epstein. And anybody telling you any different,
they're bullshitting you. This article was authored by Inder Deep Banes.
Former Barclay's boss Jess Day has admitted to having sex
with one of Jeffrey Epstein's staff at the Upper East
Side building where the pedal file trafficked underage girls. The
married father made the shocking admission while giving evidence at
London's Upper Tribunal as he seeks to overturn a finance
industry ban and a one point eight million pound fine
by the city's regulator over his links to the disgraced millionaire.
You mean disgrace pedophile right and links? How about friendship?
How about enablement and how about financial appeasement, Let's start there.
The sixty eight year old said that he had grown
close to the woman while attending meetings with Epstein, who
banked with him when he worked at JP Morgan. The woman,
who was not named, is among more than sixty Epstein
victims represented by lawyer Brad Edwards, who later settled a
claim against the financier pedophiles four hundred and thirty five
million pound estate. And when this condemnable fuck says that
it was one of Jeffrey Epstein's assistants, what he means
is one of the girls who was being abused by
Jeffrey Epstein, which one it was? I have no idea,
but this is not something that's new. We have heard
this countless times about Jess Staley and every single time
we hear this about somebody who was in Epstein's orbit,
it turns out to be true. And then the words
of Bobby Bocoala from the Sopranos, you know, Quasimoto predicted
all of this. The encounter, which was described as consensual,
occurred at three zero one East sixty sixth Street, which
was said to have been used by the sex offender
to hold his young victims. That's exactly what it was.
They'd bring girls in and then they'd be put up
in this building thinking that they're going to get modeling
jobs for MC two, or go work for Victoria's secret
or whatever, and then end up just getting trafficked, being
brought to these parties, being farmed out to Jeffrey Epstein's
friends like Jess Staley. And guess what we don't have
to say allegedly anymore with Jess Staley considering bro just
admitted that he's a diddler. LeeAnne Mulkey KC, the Financial
Conduct Authority FCA, asked the retired banker, the woman was
someone connected with mister Epstein, wasn't she? You met this
woman through mister Epstein, to which mister Staley admitted she
was part of his staff, as I recall. Oh, yeah,
I'm sure it was part of his staff. What he
means was one of the young girls that was brought
around for him to choose from, you know, snow white
Beauty and the beast, and then he went on to
abuse whoever this girl was. That's what he really means,
and consensual. Really Now, call me crazy, but I have
a hard time believing that the survivor would feel the
same way. He added this individual and I sometimes I
would go to his apartment and he would be late,
and we got to know each other. Oh, I'm sure
that's what happened. I'm sure that Jeffrey didn't just go
upstairs and send you to the boom boom room with whoever,
you sick, degenerate bastard you didland fuck her. And for
all you people out there yelling about lists and all
the other shit, whon are you going to hold the
people that we know took part responsible until you start
doing that. I don't want to hear shit about the
list from anybody, especially these Johnny cum latelies who haven't
been here for the duration, riding on the back of
other people's work and still getting the story wrong. Much
to my embarrassment. We had one encounter, he told the court,
but claimed Epstein was not aware of it. Absolute lie,
one thousand percent lie. Where's the video? I'd like to
see all of them? The FCA today detailed how the
retired banker enjoyed a close relationship with the disgraced financier
pedophile and accepted countless favors from him. Miss Mulkay earlier
told the court how Staley had hitch rides on his
helicopter and private plane and used Epstein's influence in contacts
to further his daughter Alexi's education. Must be nice. Huh.
Hell of a dad, sweetheart. Look, I want you to
go talk to uncle Jeffy. Don't worry that he's a diddler.
It's okay. Daddy's telling you that it's okay. What kind
of sick, degenerate fuck sends your daughter anywhere near Jeffrey Epstein,
the barrister said. A cash of bombshell emails show how
the late pedophile had often expressed his close friendship with
Staley to third parties, repeatedly describing him as like a
brother to him. Yeah, an Eskimo brother, a brother in degeneracy.
In one email sent on May twenty seventh, twenty ten,
Epstein email Prince Andrew about Staley, who was head of
investment banking at JP Morgan at the time. I know
you were seeing Jess Staley this morning. He is like
family and can be trusted one hundred percent, he told
the Duke of York, who was later stripped of his
royal duties and military titles over his own relationship with
Ebstein and the allegations of sexual assault against him. Every
single person that was in this man's circle, that was
close to him was taking part in the abuse. At
this point, I'm convinced of it. The barrister also told
the court how Epstein emailed a member of a golf
monarchy in February two thousand and nine, saying, Jess Staley
tells me he is to see you a week on Monday.
He's one of us. And if you notice, the people
that like to talk about dancing Israelis never want to
talk about Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with the monarchies in the golf,
especially Saudi Arabia. Nobody wants to talk about that. Nobody
wants to talk about how close Jeffrey Epstein was to
those people in that monarchy and to the upper class,
the upper crust of Saudi Arabia. You know, this is
a man who spent plenty of time in Afghanistan, a
man who spent time in Saudi Arabia, a man who
spent time in Sierra Leone, a man who spent time
in plenty of places with large Muslim populations. That's why
it's laughable for anybody to think that the man that
was literally running guns with Koshogi had nothing to do
with the Saudi royal family or anyone in the Middle East.
It is absolutely ludicrous. And anybody who's trying to pitch
you that is building a narrative for whatever purposes. Maybe
they're working for the CIA and they're trying to throw
you off the trail. I told you from Jump Street
that all this bullshit that we're hearing now sounds like
a sigh up to me. And the misdirection that you're seeing, Wow,
I can't believe that people are still falling for it
all these years later, she said. Another emails in twenty
twelve showed that Epstein had written to say several people
and described Staley as like my brother. The court also
read several emails in which Staley described Epstein as family
and a profound friend, including a twenty eleven message in
which he told the sex offender, please know I am
a friend forever well not now. Huh. Pretty quick to
throw your friend forever under the bus, you scumbag, you liar. However,
Staley maintained that their relationship was purely professional, adding I
think he is using our business relationship in these terms
to grow his own influence. Miss Mulkay claimed that Epstein
had also pulled strings to help Staley's eldest daughter get
her PhD place by emailing contacts at universities, and as
a result, was invited two or twenty fifteen graduation. So
was that before or after the Thanksgiving dinner with Glenn
Dubin and his daughter. However, Staley denied these claims, insisting
she got her PhD place on her own through incredible
hard work. The implication that he secured the is wrong, unfair,
and not true. Staley was also grilled on accepting luxury
favors from Epstein, including a ride home from the Caribbean
on the Pedophiles helicopter and flights on his private plane.
Oh I wonder what you were doing on the plane.
I'm sure you're just hanging out, eating some peanuts and
enjoying yourself. The court was told that record show that
Epstein had even paid the banker one thousand dollars for
commercial flights in two thousand and five on his Gold
American Express for the banker, the former Barclay's chief executive
is trying to overturn a decision by the FCA to
ban them from taking senior roles and fine them one
point eight million pounds after it found he recklessly misled
it about the relationship with the disgraced financier Pedophile, who
died in prison in twenty nineteen. At the heart of
the case is the twenty nineteen letter from Barclays to FCA,
in which it said that Staley did not have a
close relationship with Epstein and seized contact with him before
joining the bank in December of twenty fifteen. The FCA
found that this was highly misleading. Yeah, you think Roll
was out here pulling the rope a dope for how long?
How long did Jess Staley enable Jeffrey Epstein and how
many crimes in turn were committed and how many lives
were ruined with the money that was provided by Jess
Day and JP Morgan. Unfortunately, we're never going to know.
And this trial this proceeding. While it might give us
some more information and you know, open the curtains a
little bit more, at the end of the day, nobody's
going to go to prison, nobody's going to jail, nobody's
going to face real repercussions, just another blip on the
radar for people like Jess Daley. Meanwhile, the people who
were really impacted by this, the survivors, continue to struggle
as a kick and claw for some semblance of justice,
a justice that never seems to be coming. If you'd
like to contact me, you can do that at Bobby
Kopuci at protonmel dot com. That's bo b By cap

be found in the description box. What's up everyone, and
welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Jess Stay has been
in some serious trouble ever since his relationship with Jeffrey
Epstein has been revealed. However, it has not led to
any tangible punishment for jeff Stay besides losing his job
over at Barclays and getting that golden parachute on the
way out the door. My man has not experienced any
sort of hardship over his enabling of Jeffrey Epstein. And
now we have a victim who amended their lawsuit and
they're saying that not only was Jess Staley an enabler
of Jeffrey Epstein, he was also present while this girl
was being raped and molested by Epstein. So let's get
into this article from Bloomberg and get a quick update headline,
Jess Daily personally observed Epstein's abuse. Woman suing JP Morgan claims, Hey, look,
it makes sense to me. Why else are you hanging
out with Jeffrey Epstein. What are you doing at Jeffrey
Epstein's house on a regular basis? Why are you going
to his island? Why are you protecting him in the
financial system? Inquiring minds want to know, dumbass, Jess Daily.
This article was authored by Ava Benny Morrison. A woman
suing JP Morgan chasing company for facilitating her sexual abuse
by Jeffrey Epstein, is claiming Jess Daly personally observed that
abuse when he was the bank's head of private wealth
and private wealth. That's where all the scumbags like Jeffrey
Epstein end up in these banks. And for Epstein, he
was bringing other people in to the fold, and that's
why JP Morgan and the other banks were so hesitant
to get rid of them. It's all about the Benjamin's baby,
y'all know how it goes. Well, you think Wu Tang
was kidden around when they said cash rules everything around me.
That shit is a mantra when it comes to people
like Jess Staley. The woman who was suing as Jane
Doe Won in a proposed class action against the largest
US bank, made new allegations about Staley's knowledge of Epstein's
abuse in an amendicanmplaint filed late Friday in Manhattan Federal Court.
So this has been going on for quite some time,
the allegations against Jess Staley, but this is the first
time we've seen it accelerate to a point like this.
Of course, we've had the nonsense down in the US
Virgin Islands with Denise George making pretend she cares. But
how many indictments did she lay on people? How many
people did she bring in and sit down for depositions.
How much of that one hundred and five million dollars
she recovered went to survivors. So for all the talk
about Jess Staley being under the microscope, all the talk
about subpoenas in the US Virgin Islands, well, I think
it's more like Edward Stark when he told the kids,
words are wind, right, because that's all it is. Your
words are wind. If there's no action behind those words,
then it's just bs. And that's certainly what we saw
down in the US Virgin Islands. It was all about
that money. That's what it's always been about, and that's
what it's always going to be about. For Denise George.
It was never about justice. It was never about holding
people like Jess Staley accountable for what they were up to.
It was about getting more money for the US Virgin Islands.
And I said that from the very beginning. If it
wasn't about that, it would have been about justice. It
wouldn't have been a CICCO suit, it would have been
a RICO suit. But her intentions, meaning Denise George, they
were never to hold people like Jess Staley accountable. It
was all about collecting a bag. According to the complaint,
Staley frequently visited Epstein's properties, including his New York townhouse,
massage room, a stash house apartment on the Manhattan's Upper
east Side, and his US Virgin Island's estate. The then
JP Morgan executive allegedly met many of Epstein's trafficking victims
and personally observed the sexual abuse of young women, including
Jane Doe number one. So if one woman has come
out and said this, get ready for the floodgates to open.
That's how this works. Someone like Jeff Staley is now
on the clock. And I've been saying for years now
that it's only a matter of time before this guy's
chickens come home to roost him. Leon Black, all of
the rest of the scoundrels in the financial sector that
basically got away Scott free. Well, eventually it's gonna come
back to you, and eventually people are going to be
paying attention to the bullshit you were up to. And
that goes for Glenn Dubin as well. By the way,
oh boy had to step down. But what other penalties
has he faced for the serious allegations against him. None? Now,
let me tell you this. If it was you and
you had these allegations against you, you better believe Jay
Edgar Hoover himself would come back from the dead and
show up at your house. JP Morgan on Tuesday declined
to comment on the amended complaint. Staley, who was not
named as a defendant in the suit, has consistently denied
knowledge of Epstein's abuse. A lawyer for Staley declined to
comment on Tuesday. Yeah, I bet he did actual knowledge.
The new allegation seek to bolster the argument that JP
Morgan was aware of Epstein's conduct but nonetheless turned a
blind eye. The bank has moved to dismiss the suit,
in part by arguing that it fails to show the
bank knew about Epstein's abuse. That's such bs. I mean,
come on, what you guys don't have Google, You guys
didn't have the newspaper. You didn't hear that Jeffrey Epstein
was soliciting miners whatever that means, because we know miners
can't be prostitutes, but here we are. So what do
you mean you didn't know? Everybody knew. I'm so tired
of that excuse. That is such a played out, bogus
ass excuse that all of these scumbags try and use. No,
you knew wh Jeffrey Epstein was, and you knew exactly
what he was up to. Stop bullshitting as a result
of Staley's direct and actual knowledge of Epstein's sex trafficking venture.
JP Morgan had direct and actual knowledge of Epstein's sex
trafficking venture. The amended can plain alleges. I agree with
that one thousand percent. You mean to tell me all
of the richest, smartest men in the world had no
idea that they were hanging out with a scoundrel. I'm
sure Jeffrey Epstein and all the weird shit at his
apartment wasn't as signed to you. And I don't know
about you, folks, but if I walked into somebody's house
and they had all this weird ass artwork and they
had pictures of girls, little girls naked and shit, and
a picture of the ex President Bill Clinton in a
blue dress and some high heels, I would have some
questions for the host. And it seems like everybody just
walked into this house, shrugged their shoulders and were like, oh, yeah,
this is normal, breaking news. That shit is not normal.
Nothing that was going on at Jeffrey Epstein's house was
fucking normal, and anyone who thinks it was, or anyone
who participated in it, you, my friend, are a degenerate.
Staley left JP Morgan in twenty thirteen and joined Barclays
PLC as chief executive officer a few years later. He
stepped down from that role in twenty twenty one following
a UK regulatory probe into his relationship with Epstein. The
amended complaint more specifically, alleges that JP Morgan was aware
of that Epstein used his accounts at the bank to
settle sexual abuse lawsuits and for expenses related to apparent
criminal activity. To put it plainly, Epstein he needed a
bank that knew he was engaging in illegal activity and
did not care, which Epstein had in JP Morgan. The
complain states, and considering what we all know about the
banks and their relationship with narco traffickers and oligarchs, would
anyone be shocked to hear that they were also facilitating
human trafficking? Because if you're shocked, boy, oh boy, go
back and take a look at the catalog under Jess
Staley and prepare to be absolutely blown away by the
bullshit that was occurring. The amended complaint more specifically alleges
that JP Morgan was aware that Epstein used his accounts
at the bank to settle sexual abuse lawsuits and for
expenses related to apparent criminal activity. I mean, not for nothing,
and I'm certainly not Johnny Cochran over here. But if
you folks would have slapped them with a Rico suit,
a Rico charge, then all of this would be a
moot point because people like Jess Staley would have already
been called on the carpet. Real question we should be
asking ourselves is why did the SDNY choose not to
charge Jeffrey Epstein, Orgelne Maxwell with Rico. Staley bragged within
JP Morgan about Epstein's value to the bank, according to
the complaint, and benefited from the relationship with massages, private
jet flights with victims and co conspirators. And we all
know what massage meant at Jeffrey Epstein's house. It wasn't
what you and I think about when we say massage
Adult Survivors Act. The amended complaint also alleges top level
executives at JP Morgan, including Chief Executive Officer Jamie Diamond,
were aware of Epstein's two thousand and six Florida arrest
and made the decision to monitor news about him. Some
executives allegedly lobbied to have the bank cut ties with
Epstein after allegations about his sex trafficking surface publicly, but
were overruled until twenty thirteen, when the bank finally ended
its relationship with the financier, you mean, the pedophile. So
the whole entire argument that they had no idea, that's
bupkiss And anyone who's been paying attention knows that that's
absolute bullshit. So I don't know how they're going to
argue that in court and think they're going to win.
Lawsuits against both JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank, which became
Epstein's main bank after twenty thirteen, were filed separately in
November by Jane doe One, who is represented by David Boys.
The suits claim that the banks knowingly benefited and received
things of value for assisting and supporting Epstein's sex trafficking scheme.
Like JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank has also sought dismissal of
the claims, denying knowledge of Epstein's conduct. JP Morgan further
argues that claims against it, which relate to events between
nineteen ninety eight and twenty thirteen are barred by the
statute of limitations. Imagine imagine saying that in court as
this bank, and not just saying, you know what, we
fucked up. We made a big mistake working with Epstein,
and we want to correct that mistake however possible. But
that'll never happen because guess what. Just take a look
at whatever president gets elected and look at all of
the people that come over from the financial sector to
work in the administration, and then you wonder why things
are completely screwed up. The plaintiffs are suing under New
York's Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily lifts the limit for
sexual assault claims, but both banks say the law doesn't
apply to them. Yeah, that's what they say, in a
microcosm of everything, right, the law doesn't apply to us.
Where are the banksters, Where are the fraudsters. We're the
ones who control every last thing. Now, go pay seventeen
dollars per egg while we facilitate Jeffrey Epstein's human trafficking campaign.
Epstein was found dead in his US jail cell in
twenty nineteen after being charged with sex trafficking to US
and British elites led to career downfalls for a number
of prominent Wall Street names. Oh yeah, career downfalls. Oh
the humanity. They'll go out with their golden parachute and
they're never really held responsible for the bullshit they were
involved in. But it's just par for the course, folks
that somebody like Jess Staley, like these banks would actually
have the audacity to come out here and act like
they had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein was. So there
you have it, another lawsuit against Jess Staley against the banks,
and this time they're not only saying that the banks
facilitated what happened, they're also saying that Jess Staley was
present while the abuse was taking place. If you'd like
to contact me, you can do that at Bobby Kupucci
at ProtonMail dot com. That's bo Bby capu Cci at
proton mail dot com. You can also find me on
Twitter at bo bby underscore cap Ucci. The link that
I discussed can be found in the description box. What's
up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles.
You know what I find absolutely mind boggling the fact
that Jeff Staley, the guy who was practically Epstein's penpal,
travel buddy and business confidant, hasn't been dragged in front
of the US Grand jury yet, Like, come on, this
man wasn't just grabbing coffee with Jeffrey I own an
island of feloniese Epstein. He was exchanging hundreds of emails,
selling on his yacht, showing up at his Manhattan townhouse,
and acting like none of it was weird, and we're
supposed to believe it was all professional. Come on, that's
like saying you went to Pablo Escobar's place for the
networking opportunities. These guys were closer than anyone wants to admit,
and the paper trail proves it. Staley didn't just know Epstein.
He trusted him, trusted him enough to visit the Manhattan
mansion after Epstein had already been registered a sex offender,
trusted him enough to keep in time much while running
JP Morgan's private banking arm, where conveniently Epstein was still
a client. You tell me how that happens. You tell
me how a guy like Jess Staley, who's supposed to
be one of the sharpest minds in finance keeps doing
business with a convicted predator. Either he's the dumbest smart
guy on Wall Street or he knew exactly what was
going on and he didn't care, and guess what. Either way,
it reeks. And for me, here's where the real question start,
because it's not just about did he know Epstein was
abusing girls? It's about what else were they doing together?
What kind of financial operations were being run through Epstein's accounts,
What kind of investments were getting shoveled around through offshore entities.
There's a reason federal law Title thirty one exists a
monitor money movements. Banks are supposed to flag suspicious activity.
You can't just funnel millions through shadow accounts, payout consulting
fees and hope nobody notices, unless, of course, the guy
responsible for noticing is your buddy on the inside. Let's
not forget that Staley wasn't just a middle manager. Bro
was running JP Morgan basically, and he was running Barclays,
the kind of place where people's life savings, pensions, and
business loans are parked. And while he's supposed to be
overseeing risk and compliance, he's out here writing gushy emails
to Jeffrey Epstein. That's not more like love letters than
business correspondence. And it's disturbing, not just morally but financially
because when a guy like Jess Staley is cozying up
to a criminal like Epstein, it shows you that the
monsters aren't hiding under your bed, but they're sitting in
boardrooms wearing cuff links. And then there's the weed. It
no routine. Barclays claim Staley was transparent about his relationship
with Epstein. Yeah, sure, just like every politician swears their
emails or about yoga, you expect the public to buy
that he was just networking with a guy who literally
ran a human trafficking ring. These people live in a
world where ethics are a press release, and as long
as the profits are rolling in, nobody asks the uncomfortable questions. So, yeah,
it's about time the US took a real hard look
at Jess Day not just as Epstein's golf buddy, but
has a potential financial accomplice and one of the most
twisted money pipelines we might have ever seen. Because if
Epstein was the monster, someone had to keep the lights
on in the layer. Someone had to make sure the
wire transfer is cleared. The shell companies stayed afloat and
the regulators stayed off his back, and my money is
on the banker who kept signing the checks. Look, at
the end of the day, you can't have a guy
like Epstein without a guy like Jess Staley, one who
prays on people. The other launders the loote. And if
we're serious about accountability, not the pr version, but the
real put on the handcuffs kind, then it's time Jess
Staley gets a subpoena, not another speaking gig, because until
the system starts holding these people accountable, it's all just
noise and they're still laughing behind closed doors while the
rest of us foot the bill. This article was published
by The Guardian headline Sabeth Warren urges US regulators to
investigate Jess Staley's ties to Epstein. Now, look, I'm not
exactly a gigantic fan of Elizabeth Warren, but she's right
about this, And to tell you the truth, I don't
really care where a good idea comes from as long
as it's a good idea, and investigating Jess Staley, well,
I consider that a damn good idea. The author of
this article is Kaleina mccortoff. The Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren
is calling for an investigation into bankers, including Jess Staley,
over their alleged support for the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,
in a move that could leave the former Barclays boss
banned from working in the US financial sector. Well yeah,
that's a good idea, huh. I mean, this guy was
processing how many billions of dollars of bad money and
then to just go on with his life like nothing happened,
Like everything's cool. Sorry, that's not okay. These are the
same people that would see you be homeless, and I'll
give one single damn about it. Sorry, your credit isn't
good enough to get that loan. You're gonna have to
eat dog food now. In a letter privately filed with
the regulators and seen by The Guardian, Warren called for
the investigations into all current and former US banking executives
who may have facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's illicit conduct. Look, that's
a great idea. If you want to really get to
the bottom of what Epstein was up to, there is
only one way to do it, folks, follow the money.
How long have I said it? And that goes for
all these people, doesn't matter who you're talking about, any
one of these so called delete If you follow the money,
eventually you're gonna get to a tainted source. You don't
get this rich planned by the rules. That includes Staley,
who Warren said is alleged to have helped protect the
late financier Pedal Files access to the banking system during
his stint working at JP Morgan in the early two thousands.
Warren noted that Staley, who was already banned from the
UK banking side, has been described in media reports as
Epstein's chief defender. Not only that, but possibly a co conspirator, right.
I mean we heard the emails, We saw what they said.
Who's snow white, Who's beauty and the beast? What is
he even talking about? So yeah, if anybody should be
put on your oath, I would say that Jess Staley's
right at the top of the list. Warren, the lead
Democrat on the US Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs,
said she was concerned to hear that Staley pushed back
when colleagues flagged Epstein's suspicious transactions, referring to a matter
that was put to him in court proceedings earlier this year.
Staley denied the allegations at the time, saying I don't
think that's fair, and that the decision to exit a
client such as Epstein was not his to make. Well,
whose was it? Was it Mary Erdos, was it Jamie
Diamond himself? Somebody made the decision. Warren also referred to
court evidence suggesting Staley tipped Epstein off about JP Morgan's
worries in a way that allowed the sex trafficker to
alter his behavior and avoid scrutiny. Staley told the court
that he was not part of the managing the account,
but did not deny that he told Epstein there were
concerns about cash withdrawals. Well, yeah, that's exactly what he did.
He facilitated the whole thing, so he would get reports
from compliance about Epstein's account or whatever. Then he'd take
those reports and instead of fixing it, he tiped Epstein
off and let Epstein, you know, change his patterns and
do something different, and on and on and on it went.
During his fifteen year relationship with JP Morgan, Epstein opened
at least one hundred and thirty four accounts processed over
one billion in transactions and brought in several lucrative clients.
Warren's letter said, yeah, including Glenn Dubin. And while JP
Morgan had so far paid two hundred and ninety million
in settlements to Epstein's victims, Staley has so far avoided
accountability in the United States, the senator said, And that
is completely on it acceptable as far as I'm concerned.
And when you wonder why I say that the Congressional
Oversight Committee is a joke, this is why. No Jes Staley,
no Marie vi Lafauna, no Menchel, nobody. They're all just
pulling your leg once again, fucking around, make and pretend
that they care because it's election season. And that goes
for all of them, both sides of the aisle. Warren
has now called on the Federal Reserve Board, the Office
of the Controller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation to publicly announce the launch of an investigation
and the former and current banking executives who may evaded
Epstein by November seventh. She has also asked for a
private confirmation that an investigation had been opened, specifically into
Staley's conduct by November fourteenth, wrongdoing could ultimately result in
a fine and a potential ban from working in the
US banking sector. Notice they don't talk about jail though,
right if you're a banker, that's part of the unwritten rule.
You're not going to prison for anything. If they didn't
go to prison after the financial meltdown, Do you really
think they're going to go to prison for anything. No
fucking way, never gonna happen. It's critical to send a
message to the public and current bank employees that this
type of egregious misconduct has no place in the American
banking system. Warren's letter said it would be another bruising
development for Staley, who in June lost a legal attempt
to overturn his lifetime ban from the UK financial sector
imposed by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority in twenty twenty
three after he was found to have misled the watchdog
over his relationship with the sex offender. Oh yeah, misled.
What they really mean is liede. And that's what he's
been doing from the very beginning about Jeffrey Epstein and
the relationship they shared. This is a man that was
enjoying Jeffrey Epstein's largess breaking bread with him sitting in
his jacuzzi, hanging out on the island, heading over to
the townhouse for you know, a little bit of coffee
or teer or whatever. The whole thing. For him to
have the audacity to act like he didn't even really
know Epstein is just bananas. The FCA's original investigation, triggered
by a cash of more than twelve hundred emails between
Stale and Epstein, concluded that the pair were indeed close
and had a relationship that went beyond one that was
professional in nature. Yeah, I'd say so. These dudes were,
in my opinion, co conspirators, and I think that if
I had access to the financials, I'd be able to
prove it. Warren also called for an investigation into other
top executives that may have supported the late financiers crimes.
Staley is not the only bank executive with concerning ties
to Epstein. For example, according to Staley's warn deposition, he
discussed Epstein with CEO Jamie Diamond on at least two occasions.
The letter stated, and I agree with that too. Jamie
Diamond knows more than he said one hundred percent. Diamond
has previously denied Staley's claims and stated that he does
not recall knowing anything about Epstein until years after the
firm effectively severed ties with the sex offender. JP Morgan
declined to comment, well, I bet they did. I bet
they did. They already paid out two hundred and ninety
million dollars. Pretty sure they don't want to pay any
more money, unfortunately for them. I think it's coming. I
don't think we've seen the last of the lawsuits filed
against JP Morgan. When it comes to Epstein, the FED,
OCC and FDIC should investigate any other current or former
banking executive who engaged in similar conduct to determine whether
their conduct satisfies the legal standards for a ban on
working in the banking industry and civil monetary penalties. Warren
said any banking executive who facilitated the crimes of one
of the world's most notorious sex criminals should be held accountable.
Warren's letter added Donald Trump has come under fire for
his own social ties to the sex offender, who is
a long time friend until they fell out in two
thousand and four. The President made releasing the Epstein investigative
files part of his campaign platform, but has failed to
do so. He has referred to the furre over the
files as a democratic hoax. The news of Warren's letter
came as two new lawsuits were filed by an anonymous
plaintiff against Bank of America and the Bank of New
York Mellon, alleging that the banks illicitly enabled Epstein's sex trafficking.
BNY has said the claims are meritless and will vigorously
defend itself against them. Bank of America echoed the comment,
saying we will vigorously defend ourselves in this matter. The
Guardian contacted Staley's legal representative for comment in June after
the loss of his legal challenge against the FCA. Staley
said he was disappointed by the outcome, but was never dishonest.
So look, here's where I'm at. If the Justice Department
serious about cleaning up the wreckage that Epstein left behind,
it can't just go after the perverts. It's got to
go after the enablers, the guys in suits who smiled,
shook hands and kept the wires humming. Jeff Staley wasn't
some innocent bystander who stumbled into a bad friendship. He
was the banker in the room where the dirty money moved,
the guy who made Epstein look legitimate when everyone else
knew that he was toxic. And until someone puts this
guy under oath, until someone starts combing through those accounts
with the same energy they used to audit the average taxpayer,
it's all a farce. Because if Epstein's network was a
criminal enterprise, Jess Staley was the CFO of that sickness,
and he walked away with bonuses and a golden parachute.
The least we can do is strip away the polite fiction,
drag the truth into daylight, and finally asked the question
every regular person's been screaming for years, How the hell
did these people always get away with it? If there's
any justice left in the system, and we know there's not,
Jess Staley should be sitting in front of Congress, not
sipping wine on some private terrasts, pretending he didn't know
what was going on. Because when money and morality collide,
the banks always seem to come out clean and the
victims get buried twice. Enough of that time to turn
the tables, Time for Jess Daley to answer some goddamn questions.
