US Virgin Islands seeks $190 million from JPMorgan as part of Jeffrey Epstein lawsuit
The government for the Virgin Islands said in a court filing it also wants JPMorgan Chase to implement an independent compliance consultant to prevent human trafficking and to separate its business and compliance functions. Epstein was found dead in a jail cell in 2019 in what was later ruled a suicide; his death came before he could face trial on federal charges of sexually abusing underage girls.
The Virgin Islands’ DOJ filed a brief in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York on Friday. In June, JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay $290 million to settle a class-action lawsuit from Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged sexual abuse victims, who accused the bank of enabling sex trafficking by the deceased financier when he was a client. The Virgin Islands government filed its own lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase in December 2022.
