Speaker 1: Look them back to the Epstein chronicles. Survivors of Jeffrey
Epstein have written letters to JP Morgan and they're pleading
with JP Morgan to own up to their nonsense. However,
we know that JP Morgan is never going to do
any such thing. Of course, it's Jess Daily's fault. It's
everyone else's fault besides Jamie Diamonds and JP Morgan's. But
two survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's at the very least, including
Cordy Wilde, have sent letters contacted JP Morgan and asked
them to do the right thing, and that's take responsibility
for the bullshit they were involved in. Today's article is
from The Daily Beast, headlined victims plead with JP Morgan
to own up to Epstein's abuse. This article was authored
by Kate Bricklett and this article was published by The
Daily Beast. When JP Morgan's CEO, Jamie Diamond was questioned
under oath last week over the bank's lengthy relationship with
sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, he was asked whether he had
received letters from any of the survivors of Epstein's abuse.
A transcript of Diamond's deposition taken as part of two
lawsuits accusing JP Morgan of facilitating Epstein's sex ring reveals
the executive testified that he didn't recall getting one particular
victim's mail, but that he had enormous sympathy for her.
Oh yeah, I couldn't recall. I forgot I never saw that.
We never talked, we never had a relationship. How many
times do we have to hear that shit? So if
I have a loan with JP Morgan and I say
that I didn't receive my bill, is it cool? Do
I just get off the hook. I don't have to
pay you anything. Of course, not right. You still got
to pay. They don't care if you received it or not.
The bill is due and you have to pay it.
And the same thing for Jamie Diamond here, his bill
is coming due finally, and now that the spotlight is
on Jamie Diamond as well, he's failing the test, just
like the rest of these scumbags that were involved with Epstein.
Instead of trying to blow the lid off of what
happened and be somebody who is productive and offering up
good information, instead it's more of the same old song
and dance and bullshit. That victim the Delly Beast has
learned was Hailey Robson, who was a Florida high schooler
in two thousand and four when Epstein exploited her and
made her one of his recruiters, and when this was
all first breaking. Remember Hailey Robson was portrayed as an
actual recruiter, but in reality, Hailey Robson was somebody that
was being abused and manipulated by Jeffrey Epstein as well
as these other girls. And now Hailey Robson, well, she
wrote this letter to JP Morgan, and according to Jamie Diamond,
he never saw the letter. He never received it. I
can't recall this dude has the worst memory maybe in history.
Perhaps JP Morgan might want to think about giving him
some kind of dementia test. If he can't remember an
email like that or a letter like that, dude must
have some dementia, because I would think that if somebody
sent you a letter talking about the abuse that they
suffered by somebody like Epstein, that you'd remember that letter.
But of course it's convenient for a Jamie Diamond to
say that he never received it. Dear Jamie Diamond, Robson wrote,
according to a copy of the letter reviewed by The
Daily Beast. I cannot begin to explain how Epstein has
consumed my life. I cannot make you see, force you
to feel, or even requests that you show compassion to
all of the survivors. I don't understand how so many
people colleagues knew what was going on, or had evidence
and information that could have helped us, and chose not
to speak up, she continued, before referring to a pass
smear campaign launched by Epstein's legal team to discredit victims
and help avoid federal charges in two thousand and eight.
Why did we all get picked apart publicly when the
reality is you and many more knew something and didn't
speak up. And that goes to the legacy media as well.
Let's all let them off the hook here. They played
a huge part in that. Who do you think was
running the stories bashing these girls? Who do you think
was giving air to the nonsense being pomped by Epstein's people?
Of course, the legacy media, and they were working overtime
to make sure that the real story never got out.
Just look at the lengths that ABC went to to
not run the interview that they had with Virginia Roberts
that Amy Roeboch was all pissed off about why didn't
ABC run that interview. Well, they didn't want to lose
access to the royals, right, So instead of giving you
the information, as the people that you deserve to know,
they'd rather have their access to the royals so that
they can go hang out with Prince Andrew and Fergie.
I may not be as smart as you, but we
should at least agree that the information you withheld had
has hurt me and many others. Robson wrote, everyone makes
mistakes and has regrets. If you are a good human,
you will just admit to making a mistake and be
the first to try and do what is right. To
end this chapter on a positive note, for all of us,
it'll never happen, But she's not wrong. A little personal responsibility,
how about from Jamie Diamond just getting up there and saying, hey, look,
you know what this happened under my watch. I didn't
know anything about it, but I take responsibility for everything
that happens while I'm in charge, and we're gonna make
sure that it's fixed. We're gonna fix all of the
loopholes that were used. We're gonna be transparent about it,
and we're gonna make sure that the women who were
abused under our watch are taken care of with some restitution.
But did any of that occur, of course not. It's
just more of the same. It wasn't us, it wasn't me.
It's everybody else's fault. Robson wasn't the only victim to
contact JP morgan bosses in recent weeks. Courtney Wilde, who
was fourteen when Epstein abused her and who sued the
government over his lenient plea deal, penned a letter to
Executive Mary Urdos last month asking her to support the
victim's fight for justice. Wilde wrote that she believed JP
Morgan was Epstein's right hand and allowing him to become
the most abusive sex offender in history. And that's not hyperbole.
JP Morgan was there every step of the way. And
when you're helping somebody navigate Title thirty one laws and
banking regulations and fins and stuff, well you're structuring, so
that means you're in cahoots with the person that you're helping.
So for me, anyway, there's no way that JP Morgan
can look at what happened here and say, you know what,
we're not at fault. We didn't do anything, because they did.
They had everything at their disposal from a regulation standpoint
to make sure that this didn't happen. They chose not
to be of those regulations, and they chose to let
Jeffrey Epstein and Jess Staley do whatever they want, and
it happened on Jamie Diamond's watch. Yet, rather than acknowledge
a wrongdoing, accepting responsibility, making an apology to all of us,
and doing what is right, I understand that JP Morgan
has unleashed an army of lawyers to torture the victims
who brought the cases and put them through even more
pain and suffering. Wilde wrote, does nobody at JP Morgan
have a conscience? Erdos? The CEO of JP Morgan's asset
and wealth management business and the lieutenant under Diamond testified
in a deposition that she communicated with Epstein via email
and phone calls and twice visited his New York townhouse.
She and other JP Morgan officials, including Jess Staley, who
is now accused of assaulting an Epstein victim, allegedly held
discussions about the accusations against Epstein, but decided to keep
them as a client. So you had your discussions, you
had your powwow, you had your come to Jesus moment,
and you greedy fuck bags still decided to do business
with Jeffrey Epstein. So whose fault is that? I have
fought my entire adult life against Jeffrey Epstein, his powerful associates,
his investigators, his lawyers, and even the US government for Justice.
Wild added, I don't want to have to fight you too.
And she is not wrong. Courtney Wilde has been right
in the middle of all of this, throwing haymakers at
Epstein and his people. Remember she took the case to
the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, in their cowardice, decided
not to hear it. But she's been, you know, right
at the forefront, calling these scumbags out at every turn.
A representative for JP Morgan declined to comment on the letters.
Late last year, a victim of Epstein, known as Jane Doe,
and the US Virgin Islands USVI government sued JP Morgan
for allegedly enabling and profiting from Epstein's trafficking scheme. The
bank has denied any wrongdoing and in legal filings, pointed
the finger at the USVII, claiming it had a quid
pro quo relationship with Epstein. JP Morgan is also suing Staley,
arguing he should be solely liable if Dough wins your case.
And we all know that's bs. They're all liable here,
JP Morgan, US Virgin Islands, Jess Staley, all of them.
And it's amazing to me that one of these enterprising
lawyers that we see who have collected bag after bag
in this case havn't brought some kind of lawsuit against
the Virgin Islands government, especially now with JP Morgan making
these claims, it certainly bolsters your argument if these claims
have already been made in court. So I know that
if I was one of these survivors, I'd be looking
at suing the US Virgin Islands for getting involved in
the grift. They should have been involved in getting any
money whatsoever. As we've talked about numerous times before, it
should have been about justice, but it never was. It
was always about financial gain for the US Virgin Islands
and it remains that way today. In April, Diamond told
a CNN reporter hindsight is a fabulous gift. When asked
about whether the banks should have cut ties with Epstein
after he pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor in two
thousand and eight. Throughout his recent deposition, Diamond said he
was unaware of internal strife surrounding Epstein and didn't realize
Epstein was a JP Morgan customer until his New York arrest.
I don't recall knowing anything about Jeffrey Epstein until the
story's broke sometime in twenty nineteen, Diamond testified, adding that
he had never heard of the guy. Oh, I'm sure
you never heard of him. A guy in the financial sector,
saying he never heard of Jeffrey Epstein. Do you believe
that and this guy, Jamie Diamond has political aspirations. You're
gonna run for office hompal. Then again, considering some of
the skumbags that have been elected, he'll probably win. Still,
Diamond was questioned about Epstein's email exchanges in which he
discussed plans to invite Diamond to his Manhattan home one
in two thousand and nine, with Staley suggested bringing Jane
to a meeting, but Diamond testified he didn't know anything
about it. I didn't know anything about Jeffrey. Diamond said,
I never met jeff Epstein. I never went to his house,
I never went to an island, and I do not
know exactly what he's referring to here. Diamond also testified
about a twenty ten email from Epstein's executive assistant Leslie Groff,
who discussed Epstein's evening appointments with Staley, Diamond, and another
person whose name was redacted. Diamond again denied any knowledge
of such a meeting. And it's amazing how this guy
has amnesia all of a sudden. That dementia really kicks
in when you need it to, huh. In twenty twelve,
according to the deposition, JP more Rgan employees, Paul Morris
emailed Epstein about a partnership with a person whose name
was redacted and said, I really appreciate everything you're doing
and this is a fantastic opportunity that you were opening
the door to I briefed our CEO. Diamond testified that
he was unaware of Morris' apparent plan. So everybody who
says that they talked to Diamond about Epstein is a liar,
and Jamie Diamond is the ultimate truth. Teller. He is
the ultimate arbiter of truth when it comes to this topic. Obviously,
when a plaintiff's lawyer asked, were you aware that Jeffrey
Epstein was promoting you to contacts as a candidate for
Secretary of the Treasury, Diamond answered nope, yeah, okay, sure,
you had no idea. This was all a plan that
old egg dick hatched on his own. Meanwhile, Erdos testified
under oath that she twice visited Epstein's Manhattan lair in
twenty eleven to settle a lawsuit that mister Epstein had
against the bank regarding Bear Stern's hedge fund litigation, and
in twenty thirteen to terminate him as a client. While
Erdo's deposition raised questions about some of her emails, which
show she was aware of news reports about Epstein's abuse
and had even joked about Ebstein, she testified that she
didn't take action to review his accounts. Imagine you're joking
about this dude, diddling little girls. That's a funny topic
to you. I guess when you hang out with all
of these sick, degenerate bastards, all of these derelics, then
I guess that's just normal. But for most people, that's
not something they joke about. If I was on an
email chain and somebody's joking about diddling little kids, I'm
walking directly to their office and slapping the motherfucking taste
right out of their mouth. In one two thousand and
six email, Staley told Erdos that he attended a Huggy
Bear concert the night before and the age differences between
husband and would have fit in well with Jeffrey. What
a joke, Erdos replied. In two thousand and seven, JP
Morgan employee Lisa Waters sent a New York Post article
about Epstein's trafficking of underage girls to bank executives Phil Deloreo,
who then sent it to Irdos seven am this morning.
Why does Lisa send that stuff? Erdos replied. Ask whether
she ordered any further inquiry into Epstein as a result,
Erdos answered that she didn't. Recall. There's a normal process
whereby legal risk and compliance will take negative media searches,
Erdos testified, and escalate them as appropriate to whichever banker
is responsible for said relationship and will dispose of that
issue one way or another. And that's how it's supposed
to work. You have a whole bunch of checks and
balances that are supposed to catch the bullshit. And when
you have compliance and risk both on board with your
grift or with whatever lick you're pulling here, then it's
very difficult for anyone to know what's going on because
all of these transactions that he was making, it was
all structuring, and all of that should have been flagged
and sent to Vincent, but none of it was. So
all of that illegal withdrawal that was happening was then
used in the commission of a crime. So how in
the world is JP Morgan not liable here? How are
they not culpable? Erdos referred to Epstein's sex crimes again
in twenty ten in an email to Staley. The Feds
may not quite be done with Jaye, she wrote. According
to her deposition, the Banking Hanchos said she didn't recall
asking JP Morgan to probe Epstein that year, instead allowing
the process to happen with legal risk and compliance teams.
At another point, Erdos testify that Staley was the most
senior executive on the Jeffrey Epstein relationship and should have
had the proper conversations with legal risk and compliance about
the situation. There's no doubt he should have been all
over it, but not just him. The second that you
knew about this. As an executive in the company, I
don't want to hear the nonsense. Oh that's someone else's client,
because the whole company is on the hook now, right,
So you have to do the right thing as an executive,
have some morality, have a little bit of backbone, and
stand up to your bosses and say, look, this isn't right.
And if that doesn't work, then you have to go
to the next step and become a whistleblower. Nobody did that.
Why didn't they do that? Because greed greed over people.
And when you're talking about the financial sector, that's all
it is. You think these people give one good goddamn
about any of your lives. They do not. You're just
another banknote to them. You're just another loan to them,
nothing else. The deposition also referred to emails among JP
Morgan's staff about a twenty eleven meeting addressing concerns over
abuse accusations against Epstein. Jeff Staley discussed the topic with Jeffrey,
who replied there was no truth to the allegations, no evidence,
and was not expecting any problems. One email stated, well,
talk about going right to the source. Huh. Imagine going
to Epstein to confirm that he's not a scumbag. Hey, Jeffrey,
did you do that? Nah, we're all good. Okay, Jeffrey says,
we didn't do it, folks, so we're all good. Let
him pull out fifty grand each week. Meanwhile, go and
try and move money from PayPal over a certain amount
in a week and see how that works out for you.
Erdos testified that she terminated Epstein's relationship with the bank
after Staley's departure in twenty thirteen, saying Staley was no
longer there to advocate for Epstein and that she had
concerns about his large cash withdraws. Oh, now you have concerns. Huh.
You didn't have those concerns before, right, but all of
a sudden, now you have concerns. Your concern is you're
about to be outed. Your concern is how bad it's
going to make you look. You know, what they're is
not the fact that they were in business with this
scumbag in the first place. They knew from the very beginning,
and I don't care what they say. At this point.
The proof is there for us to see. Internal bank
documents cited in the deposition reveal that Epstein routinely made
cash withdrawals of forty thousand to eighty thousand dollars several
times a month, for a total of more than seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. Urdos testify that
Epstein claimed the cash was for aviation fuel and landing
fees in other countries. According to police, Epstein paid teenage
girls two hundred to three hundred, sometimes even one thousand
dollars after he abused them at his mansion in Palm
Beach and elsewhere. And he was giving that money out
so he could say that these girls are prostitutes. That
was part of the lick, right, Oh, I'll give them
money and then if I ever get caught, I'll just
say that they were prostitutes. And it worked out well
for him down in Florida. Considering when a lawyer asked Urdos,
based on what you know now, do you believe that
mister Jeffrey Epstein was in fact involved in child or
sex trafficking during the period of two thousand and six
through twenty thirteen, she answered, I don't know what to believe.
Imagine that talk about an absolute slap in the face
to all of these survivors. You don't know what to believe.
Gallinne Maxwell just got convicted. You don't believe the conviction.
How about all the money paid out by the estate.
You don't believe in that restitution? What are you even
talking about? Mary Urdoz? In fact, she should be fired.
In her letter to Urdos, Wild said that Epstein was
able to lure me and many high school kids to
his house where he abused us in exchange for paying
US hundreds of dollars. As an adult, I am now
learning how he was able to access an unlimited supply
of cash in violation of banking laws, she continued, And
she is not wrong. And as a kid, how are
you supposed to know that you don't know anything about
the banking laws, specially a kid that comes from the
other side of the tracks. These kids are lucky that
you know they have the basic skills to get through
the day, never mind knowing about Title thirty one and
money laundering laws. And for me, that has always been
another reason that I've been so upset about what went
on here, all the type of people that he targeted
and went after are all the same kinds of people
that I grew up with. Girls from broken homes, girls
that you know, had parents that were both at work,
stuff like that. Those are the very people that I
grew up with in the inner city. And as if
it wasn't bad enough that he's targeting young girls and women,
he's targeting girls that have already had rough lives, and
that's all because he knew that it would be easier
for him to rope them in Wild accused JP Morgan
of failing to notify authorities about Epstein's suspicious cash withdrawals.
You could have helped us, she wrote, Instead, you chose
to help him. That's just evil. She added that she
chose to write Urda because she's a mother herself. If
you put yourself in our shoes, you would expect more
from someone in your position. I think that's a fair statement.
I think any of us would. We just want someone
somewhere to admit wrongdoing, promise to make changes so this
never happens again, and recognize the pain we all suffered.
The Daily Beast reviewed a second letter to Erdos from
a former model who signed her name as another Jane Doe.
The woman wrote that Epstein assaulted her when she was
twenty three and visited Epstein's New York townhouse for what
she believed was a job interview. I am beyond shocked
and saddened to learn that a well known international banking
institution knew about Epstein's Hannah's crimes against young women and
children and did nothing to expose it, she wrote, adding,
please do the right thing and help us now. To date,
Robson and Wile say no one at the banks replied
to their letters. No response is no response. Wild told
The Daily Beast JP Morgan has always cared more about
protecting Jeffrey or protecting themselves than protecting us. She is
not wrong about any of it, but yet JP Morgan
continues to get away with it, and now that they're
getting sued, finally, the curtain is also getting pulled back
and the general public is getting a little bit of
a look at what all of us have known for
a very long time. The financial sector is absolutely corrupt,
and Jeffrey Epstein couldn't have done what he did without
their help. All right, folks, that's gonna do it for
this one. All of the information that goes with the
episode can be found in the description box.
