Unredacted emails come as JPMorgan alleges that others helped Epstein, while the U.S. Virgin Islands says the bank still failed to report him.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. on Thursday filed unredacted emails between Jeffrey Epstein and former U.S. Virgin Islands first lady Cecile de Jongh in a move to potentially boost its legal argument that she peddled influence for the convicted pedophile.
Emails between former first lady De Jongh and Epstein showed De Jongh apologizing for USVI’s sex offender legislation that passed without language supplied by Epstein, and a “game plan” to help him avoid obstacles. The emails were filed as exhibits in JPMorgan’s defense in federal court in the suit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
JPMorgan Chase is the defendant in a federal lawsuit filed by the U.S. Virgin Islands, which claims that it provided banking services to Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for human trafficking.
