Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
Jess Daly and JP Morgan are going back and forth
over what's going on down in the Virgin Islands, and
i'll tell you what, it's getting a bit contentious. The
allegations that are being thrown this way and that by
both parties are almost laughable at this point for me,
considering both parties are obviously on the hook for what
happened here, and instead of just owning up to that,
they're trying to say, well, I might have been wrong,
but this guy over here he was more wrong than
I was, so you should focus on him more than
you focus on us. It's a classic attempt to muddy
the waters when the reality is both groups, meaning the
management structure of JP Morgan and Jess Day and anybody
around him, they all knew the deal. They knew what
Epstein was up to. They knew he was a dirtbag, scumbag,
son of a bitch, and they knew that he was
molesting and hurting people. They didn't care. That's what it
comes down to. They did not care that Epstein was
engaging in all of this behavior because he was bringing
other rich scumbags to the bank. And as long as
that was happening and the money kept flowing in, then
everybody who was very content to hang out with Epstein,
they were all content to take his money, they were
all content to do business with them. Well, guess what,
Now it's time to answer some questions. Today's article is
from NBC News and the headline JP Morgan alleges former
executive thwarted efforts to cut ties with Epstein. The bank
claimed Jess Staley knew of Epstein's sex trafficking and engaged
in sexual activity with young women procured by Epstein. Staley
has said he is being used as a PR shield,
and honestly, all of that is true. They are using
him as a PR shield, But he was engaged in
all of Epstein's bullshit, and according to at least some reports,
he was involved in the actual abuse of some of
these girls. So that elevates him from just an enabler
to absolute piece of shit status, right up there with
guys like you know, Bill Richardson, Glenn Dubin, George Mitchell,
and the rest of them. This article was authored by
Chloe Atkins. JP Morgan Chase claimed its former executive Jess
Staley repeatedly thwarted its efforts to cut ties with convicted
sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during Staley's tenure at the bank,
according to court documents filed this week. So you mean
to tell me that Jess Staley could tell Jamie Diamond
what to do, he could tell the executive board what
to do. I don't buy that for a minute. And
the fact that they're gonna get out here and try
and pitch that to people is pretty laughable. I don't
think people are buying that bullshit anymore. It's like when
we were kids, right, well those of us that are
older anyway, our parents could tell us anything and we
couldn't fact check it. We'd have to go to the
library to look something up. But now we can go
right to the internet, take a look and know you're
a bullshitting us. So Sam goes here. Nobody was thwarting anything, Okay,
you weren't trying to get rid of Jeffrey Epstein. And
in fact, what you're doing is lying to us. But
unlike the old days, we can go and check now
and verify well that you're lying. The Wall Street Giant
sued Stay in March saying he should be held liable
for any financial damages it might have to pay from
two lawsuits that alleged it enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation.
Now imagine just sit back in the cut for a
minute and let that sink in. Not one bit of
talk about criminal sanction, not one bit of talk about
anyone going to prison. Once again, just another financial slap. Staley,
who worked at the bank for more than thirty years,
asked a federal judge last month to dismiss the lawsuit,
saying the bank was using him as a public relation shield.
In response, the bank this week alleged that Staley knew
of Epstein's sex trafficking enterprise and engaged in sexual activity
with young women procured by Epstein, but acted to protect
himself and Epstein, who could have exposed Staley's misconduct. Court
documents said. So they're going in all the way on
jess Staley. According to JP Morgan, folks, everything was Jess
Daley's fault. He's the only guy here who had anything
to do with Jeffrey Epstein, and of course he made
every decision for the company as well, according to this lawsuit.
Now back to reality. We know that's not the case.
We know that there are many channels that this sort
of thing has to go through. We know that there's
an auditing department, there's risk management, and all of these
different levers of security, all of these redundancies were bypassed.
You mean to tell me that Jess Staley had that
kind of power. I mean, I guess it's pos possible.
But if that's the case and you're a shareholder of
JP Morgan, do you have any faith in Jamie Diamond
at this point, Bro, you can't even control your underlings
to not pallel around with Jeffrey Epstein. Why do you
think that you should run this whole last company? Seems
like a pretty straightforward question, right. Unfortunately, none of these
goofballs in the legacy media will ever ask it. Staley
persisted for years in protecting Epstein in the face of
attempts by JPMC personnel to end the company's relationship with
Epstein on reputational grounds, made misrepresentations in the process, and
continued to do so to the end of his JP
Morgan tenure, the bank said in the court filing. And
Epstein victim has alleged that Staley sexually abused her while
he was working at the bank. Court document said, and look,
I believe the accuser who is saying this, especially if
the accuser is who I think it is. If that's
the case, the whole entire thing is about the fall
in on the head of JP Morgan and Jess Staley,
because this survivor was with Epstein all the time, from
the time she was fourteen. And if that's the case,
and it is who I think it is, she has
all the keys to the kingdom. She knows everything, She
knows all the people who are around, she knows all
the people who are involved, and I'm sure she's found
a very receptive audience to hear her stories. When we're
talking about the United States, Virgin Islands and their legal team,
JP Morgan Chase said this week that it did not know,
nor could it have reasonably known, of the woman's allegations.
Staley's attorneys did not immediately respond to her request for comment.
Stale has called the accusations baseless, but has expressed regret
for his relationship with Epstein. Once again, he is not
regretful that he had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He's
regretful that he was caught. He's regretful that all of
you out there are putting his ass on blast on
a regular basis. That's what he's worried about. That's what
he regrets. Epstein was convicted of procuring a child for
prostitution in two thousand and eight. He died by suicide
in twenty nineteen at a Manhattan correctional center where he
was being held on federal sex trafficking charges. Allegedly died
by suicide. By the way, has anyone seen any real
concrete evidence telling us he died by suicide? Or are
we just going by what the medical examiner and good
old Bill Barr told us? Because I don't believe either
of them. JP Morgan Chase was sued by the US
Virgin Islands and a woman identified as Jane doe Ie
last year, claiming it turned a blind eye towards Epstein's conduct. Well,
so do the Virgin Islands, right, the USVII has some
audacity here, considering Epstein went down there, set up shop,
got in bed with local officials, started doling out a
bunch of dough, and committed all of these crimes down
in your territory. Yet somehow you still come out smelling
like roses, meaning the Virgin Islands with a big, fat
bank roll and looking for more. Pretty amazing if you
ask me. Internal emails and memos filed as exhibits this
week revealed that the bank executives were concerned about the
financial institution's relationship with Epstein, dating to two thousand and six.
In October two thousand and six, the bank's Rapid Response
Team issued a memo saying Epstein had banking asset and
credit accounts with balances that amounted to thirty two million dollars.
The memo also said cash withdrawals were routinely made in
sums of forty thousand to eighty thousand, multiple times a month,
totaling over seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars year to date.
According to the document, no big deal there, I mean,
it's not like you was structuring those transactions right. Oh wait,
he was? And here I was thinking, at least according
to JP Morgan, that they had no idea what was
going on, when that is demonstrably provable to be a lie.
The memo said that after internal discussions with Jeess Staley,
Mary Airdos, Katherine Keating, John Duffy, and Mary Casey. It
was decided that we will keep mister Epstein solely as
a banking client and on a reactive client service basis,
and that we will not proactively solicit new investment business
from him. Another month later, and Borrowich, a JP Morgan
Chase executive, emailed Staley with the subject line Epstein please
call me. In the email, she said she had concerns
on risk management with this client, and we have a
bad track record internally on risk as you know. Is
Jeffrey going to stay involved here? How are we managing
risk here? Please call Borrowitch said in an email in
twenty thirteen, Two bank directors emailed about the private bank
risk unit, referring Epstein in two thousand and eight to
its anti money laundering program because of excessive cash activity
and media reports alleging his connection to sex trafficking. Epstein
was marked as high risk at the time. That's all
they did. Though. You can mark them whatever you want,
but you have to take action. They did not take action.
Remember That's what it comes down to. Another email exchange
from twenty eleven indicates that the bank kept Epstein as
a client due to Jess's personal relationship with them, even
though other bank directors were not in favor of having
retained them as a client. So they knew. JP Morgan knew,
and they let Jess Daily do whatever he wanted. Remember,
he was working for them at the time, So the
buck stops at JP Morgan. One director in the same
email correspondence reported having also looked into transactions of one
of Epstein's assistants, which included lots of salon, lingerie shops,
drug stores in New York, Palm Beach, and in Saint
Thomas his places of residence, plus lots of video like
Girls Gone Wild. There is no doubt that not only
Jess Daly knew exactly what and who Jeffrey Epstein was,
and so did JP Morgan in Chase. So the whole
back and forth between JP Morgan and Jess Stay is
relatively laughable, and hopefully the court comes down on both
of them like a ton of bricks. All right, folks,
that's gonna do it for this one. All of the
