1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,199
Jess Daly and JP Morgan are going back and forth

3
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:11,880
over what's going on down in the Virgin Islands, and

4
00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:14,720
i'll tell you what, it's getting a bit contentious. The

5
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:18,039
allegations that are being thrown this way and that by

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,160
both parties are almost laughable at this point for me,

7
00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:25,280
considering both parties are obviously on the hook for what

8
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:27,920
happened here, and instead of just owning up to that,

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,199
they're trying to say, well, I might have been wrong,

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,079
but this guy over here he was more wrong than

11
00:00:34,119 --> 00:00:36,880
I was, so you should focus on him more than

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,759
you focus on us. It's a classic attempt to muddy

13
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:43,560
the waters when the reality is both groups, meaning the

14
00:00:43,759 --> 00:00:48,280
management structure of JP Morgan and Jess Day and anybody

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,719
around him, they all knew the deal. They knew what

16
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:53,799
Epstein was up to. They knew he was a dirtbag, scumbag,

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,640
son of a bitch, and they knew that he was

18
00:00:55,719 --> 00:00:58,679
molesting and hurting people. They didn't care. That's what it

19
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:02,159
comes down to. They did not care that Epstein was

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,480
engaging in all of this behavior because he was bringing

21
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:08,719
other rich scumbags to the bank. And as long as

22
00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:12,040
that was happening and the money kept flowing in, then

23
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,879
everybody who was very content to hang out with Epstein,

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,159
they were all content to take his money, they were

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,920
all content to do business with them. Well, guess what,

26
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:25,480
Now it's time to answer some questions. Today's article is

27
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:29,959
from NBC News and the headline JP Morgan alleges former

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,599
executive thwarted efforts to cut ties with Epstein. The bank

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,599
claimed Jess Staley knew of Epstein's sex trafficking and engaged

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,400
in sexual activity with young women procured by Epstein. Staley

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,200
has said he is being used as a PR shield,

32
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:49,280
and honestly, all of that is true. They are using

33
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:52,879
him as a PR shield, But he was engaged in

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,159
all of Epstein's bullshit, and according to at least some reports,

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,879
he was involved in the actual abuse of some of

36
00:01:59,879 --> 00:02:03,680
these girls. So that elevates him from just an enabler

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,159
to absolute piece of shit status, right up there with

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,800
guys like you know, Bill Richardson, Glenn Dubin, George Mitchell,

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,439
and the rest of them. This article was authored by

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Chloe Atkins. JP Morgan Chase claimed its former executive Jess

41
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:25,800
Staley repeatedly thwarted its efforts to cut ties with convicted

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,719
sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during Staley's tenure at the bank,

43
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,319
according to court documents filed this week. So you mean

44
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,560
to tell me that Jess Staley could tell Jamie Diamond

45
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,599
what to do, he could tell the executive board what

46
00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:43,479
to do. I don't buy that for a minute. And

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,080
the fact that they're gonna get out here and try

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,840
and pitch that to people is pretty laughable. I don't

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,479
think people are buying that bullshit anymore. It's like when

50
00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:53,560
we were kids, right, well those of us that are

51
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:56,560
older anyway, our parents could tell us anything and we

52
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,159
couldn't fact check it. We'd have to go to the

53
00:02:58,199 --> 00:03:01,520
library to look something up. But now we can go

54
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:04,199
right to the internet, take a look and know you're

55
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:09,719
a bullshitting us. So Sam goes here. Nobody was thwarting anything, Okay,

56
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,120
you weren't trying to get rid of Jeffrey Epstein. And

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,000
in fact, what you're doing is lying to us. But

58
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:18,759
unlike the old days, we can go and check now

59
00:03:19,039 --> 00:03:23,599
and verify well that you're lying. The Wall Street Giant

60
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,879
sued Stay in March saying he should be held liable

61
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:30,360
for any financial damages it might have to pay from

62
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,080
two lawsuits that alleged it enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation.

63
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,800
Now imagine just sit back in the cut for a

64
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,680
minute and let that sink in. Not one bit of

65
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:44,120
talk about criminal sanction, not one bit of talk about

66
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:49,680
anyone going to prison. Once again, just another financial slap. Staley,

67
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:52,400
who worked at the bank for more than thirty years,

68
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:55,960
asked a federal judge last month to dismiss the lawsuit,

69
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,759
saying the bank was using him as a public relation shield.

70
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:04,120
In response, the bank this week alleged that Staley knew

71
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:08,759
of Epstein's sex trafficking enterprise and engaged in sexual activity

72
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,080
with young women procured by Epstein, but acted to protect

73
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,399
himself and Epstein, who could have exposed Staley's misconduct. Court

74
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:20,720
documents said. So they're going in all the way on

75
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,839
jess Staley. According to JP Morgan, folks, everything was Jess

76
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Daley's fault. He's the only guy here who had anything

77
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,199
to do with Jeffrey Epstein, and of course he made

78
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,040
every decision for the company as well, according to this lawsuit.

79
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,199
Now back to reality. We know that's not the case.

80
00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:42,480
We know that there are many channels that this sort

81
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,519
of thing has to go through. We know that there's

82
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,439
an auditing department, there's risk management, and all of these

83
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,199
different levers of security, all of these redundancies were bypassed.

84
00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:57,399
You mean to tell me that Jess Staley had that

85
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,480
kind of power. I mean, I guess it's pos possible.

86
00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:03,560
But if that's the case and you're a shareholder of

87
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,319
JP Morgan, do you have any faith in Jamie Diamond

88
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:10,160
at this point, Bro, you can't even control your underlings

89
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,199
to not pallel around with Jeffrey Epstein. Why do you

90
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,120
think that you should run this whole last company? Seems

91
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,040
like a pretty straightforward question, right. Unfortunately, none of these

92
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:24,360
goofballs in the legacy media will ever ask it. Staley

93
00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:27,519
persisted for years in protecting Epstein in the face of

94
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,839
attempts by JPMC personnel to end the company's relationship with

95
00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:37,759
Epstein on reputational grounds, made misrepresentations in the process, and

96
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,839
continued to do so to the end of his JP

97
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,279
Morgan tenure, the bank said in the court filing. And

98
00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:48,600
Epstein victim has alleged that Staley sexually abused her while

99
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,160
he was working at the bank. Court document said, and look,

100
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:55,600
I believe the accuser who is saying this, especially if

101
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,680
the accuser is who I think it is. If that's

102
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:01,959
the case, the whole entire thing is about the fall

103
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,360
in on the head of JP Morgan and Jess Staley,

104
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,279
because this survivor was with Epstein all the time, from

105
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:12,439
the time she was fourteen. And if that's the case,

106
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,759
and it is who I think it is, she has

107
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,959
all the keys to the kingdom. She knows everything, She

108
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,600
knows all the people who are around, she knows all

109
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:24,079
the people who are involved, and I'm sure she's found

110
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:27,480
a very receptive audience to hear her stories. When we're

111
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:31,959
talking about the United States, Virgin Islands and their legal team,

112
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:35,279
JP Morgan Chase said this week that it did not know,

113
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:39,399
nor could it have reasonably known, of the woman's allegations.

114
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:44,000
Staley's attorneys did not immediately respond to her request for comment.

115
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,199
Stale has called the accusations baseless, but has expressed regret

116
00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:52,959
for his relationship with Epstein. Once again, he is not

117
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:56,839
regretful that he had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He's

118
00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:00,240
regretful that he was caught. He's regretful that all of

119
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:02,839
you out there are putting his ass on blast on

120
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,879
a regular basis. That's what he's worried about. That's what

121
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,160
he regrets. Epstein was convicted of procuring a child for

122
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,879
prostitution in two thousand and eight. He died by suicide

123
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,600
in twenty nineteen at a Manhattan correctional center where he

124
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:22,079
was being held on federal sex trafficking charges. Allegedly died

125
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,399
by suicide. By the way, has anyone seen any real

126
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,040
concrete evidence telling us he died by suicide? Or are

127
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:32,040
we just going by what the medical examiner and good

128
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,240
old Bill Barr told us? Because I don't believe either

129
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:39,439
of them. JP Morgan Chase was sued by the US

130
00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:43,160
Virgin Islands and a woman identified as Jane doe Ie

131
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,759
last year, claiming it turned a blind eye towards Epstein's conduct. Well,

132
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,439
so do the Virgin Islands, right, the USVII has some

133
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,120
audacity here, considering Epstein went down there, set up shop,

134
00:07:55,319 --> 00:07:59,240
got in bed with local officials, started doling out a

135
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,600
bunch of dough, and committed all of these crimes down

136
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,360
in your territory. Yet somehow you still come out smelling

137
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,360
like roses, meaning the Virgin Islands with a big, fat

138
00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:12,439
bank roll and looking for more. Pretty amazing if you

139
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:17,000
ask me. Internal emails and memos filed as exhibits this

140
00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:20,439
week revealed that the bank executives were concerned about the

141
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,000
financial institution's relationship with Epstein, dating to two thousand and six.

142
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:29,600
In October two thousand and six, the bank's Rapid Response

143
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:33,759
Team issued a memo saying Epstein had banking asset and

144
00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:38,480
credit accounts with balances that amounted to thirty two million dollars.

145
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,320
The memo also said cash withdrawals were routinely made in

146
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,960
sums of forty thousand to eighty thousand, multiple times a month,

147
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:51,399
totaling over seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars year to date.

148
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:54,720
According to the document, no big deal there, I mean,

149
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:57,840
it's not like you was structuring those transactions right. Oh wait,

150
00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:01,440
he was? And here I was thinking, at least according

151
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,360
to JP Morgan, that they had no idea what was

152
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:09,399
going on, when that is demonstrably provable to be a lie.

153
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,919
The memo said that after internal discussions with Jeess Staley,

154
00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:17,600
Mary Airdos, Katherine Keating, John Duffy, and Mary Casey. It

155
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,120
was decided that we will keep mister Epstein solely as

156
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:24,879
a banking client and on a reactive client service basis,

157
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,000
and that we will not proactively solicit new investment business

158
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,639
from him. Another month later, and Borrowich, a JP Morgan

159
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,200
Chase executive, emailed Staley with the subject line Epstein please

160
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,480
call me. In the email, she said she had concerns

161
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,120
on risk management with this client, and we have a

162
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:49,159
bad track record internally on risk as you know. Is

163
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,320
Jeffrey going to stay involved here? How are we managing

164
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,399
risk here? Please call Borrowitch said in an email in

165
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:00,240
twenty thirteen, Two bank directors emailed about the private bank

166
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,279
risk unit, referring Epstein in two thousand and eight to

167
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:08,480
its anti money laundering program because of excessive cash activity

168
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,519
and media reports alleging his connection to sex trafficking. Epstein

169
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,759
was marked as high risk at the time. That's all

170
00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:19,039
they did. Though. You can mark them whatever you want,

171
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:22,440
but you have to take action. They did not take action.

172
00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:26,600
Remember That's what it comes down to. Another email exchange

173
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:30,519
from twenty eleven indicates that the bank kept Epstein as

174
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:34,240
a client due to Jess's personal relationship with them, even

175
00:10:34,279 --> 00:10:37,440
though other bank directors were not in favor of having

176
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,799
retained them as a client. So they knew. JP Morgan knew,

177
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:44,879
and they let Jess Daily do whatever he wanted. Remember,

178
00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:47,039
he was working for them at the time, So the

179
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,000
buck stops at JP Morgan. One director in the same

180
00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:55,440
email correspondence reported having also looked into transactions of one

181
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,840
of Epstein's assistants, which included lots of salon, lingerie shops,

182
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,600
drug stores in New York, Palm Beach, and in Saint

183
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,240
Thomas his places of residence, plus lots of video like

184
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,759
Girls Gone Wild. There is no doubt that not only

185
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:17,519
Jess Daly knew exactly what and who Jeffrey Epstein was,

186
00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:21,399
and so did JP Morgan in Chase. So the whole

187
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,279
back and forth between JP Morgan and Jess Stay is

188
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,000
relatively laughable, and hopefully the court comes down on both

189
00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:32,240
of them like a ton of bricks. All right, folks,

190
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,000
that's gonna do it for this one. All of the

191
