Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking charges before committing suicide while incarcerated.

Since then, his alleged partner in crime has also stood trial. Now, the rabbit hole into the sex trafficking operation is getting deeper. The U.S. Virgin Islands accuse a bank of being a key player in the operation.

The Daily Wire says, “The disgraced hedge fund manager owned Little St. James, a part of the island system considered a territory of the United States, where he may have hosted several high-profile lawmakers and business leaders. JPMorgan allegedly concealed transactions that raised suspicion of the sex trafficking enterprise, according to the lawsuit, which was obtained by The New York Times and Bloomberg.”

The lawsuit points out that JPMorgan Chase would usually have seen and investigated the transactions that paid people in the sex trafficking ring. However, the bank hid the transactions instead of investigating and reporting them.

According to The Daily Wire, “The complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York by U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George, asserts that JPMorgan Chase should have uncovered the transactions due to compliance requirements for laws against money laundering. Representatives for the investment bank refused to comment when contacted by the outlets.”

The bank provided banking services to Epstein for approximately fifteen years. During that time, he pled guilty to paying for sex from two teenagers. After this, the bank continued to work with Epstein. The lawsuit implies that the bank contributed to the crimes by not cutting off Epstein.

This is the second lawsuit filed against the bank. Another lawsuit, filed last month, made similar allegations.

Per The Daily Wire, “Two anonymous women who Epstein allegedly trafficked filed suit against JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank last month, claiming that the companies had benefited financially from the abuse. ‘Without the financial institution’s participation, Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme could not have existed,’ the lawsuit said, according to a report from CNN.”
