  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: So JP Morgan CEO, Jamie Dimon, he wants everyone to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: know that he is just super sad that his bank
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein for so long. And
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: he's so sad about it that he waited all of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: these years to even address the issue. And it wasn't
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: like he brought the issue up himself. Remember, He was
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: compelled to talk about this because he's been subpoenaed, personally,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: down in the United States Virgin Islands to answer for
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: his bullshit. So now, of course, he wants everyone to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: know how sorry he is. But previously, he couldn't be
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: bothered to even address the issue or even talk about
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the fact that J.P. Morgan was that deeply in bed
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: with Jeffrey Epstein. And just like Bill Gates, we get
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: nothing but a BS apology from this dude. and more
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: lip service, and that's the way it's going to continue
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to be until there's real penalties slapped on these scumbags.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Today's article is from CNBC, and the headline, J.P. Morgan
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: CEO Jamie Dimon says he's so sad the bank had
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. This article was authored by
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Dan Mangan and Don Jeal. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in an interview Thursday, said he was so sad the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: bank had any business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. But he
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: denied the firm is legally liable for the dead predator's
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: sex trafficking. Well, you're not completely liable, but you played
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a huge part. Your bank facilitated all this dude's bullshit.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You guys avoided the AML laws. You guys avoided Title 31.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Nobody got in trouble. And now, when the rug starts
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to get pulled out from under you, it's a blame game. Oh,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it was Jess Daly's fault. It was that one's fault.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It was this one's fault. No self-responsibility ever. Diamond also
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: said in the televised interview with Bloomberg that if J.P.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Morgan had known everything that has become public in recent
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: years about its former customer Epstein, we would have done
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: things differently. Such B.S., And how can anyone believe anything
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that this guy has to say? All this information was
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: out there. It's not like all of these drops of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: information were private. Everybody knew that Jeffrey Epstein was a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: sexual offender. Everybody knew that he solicited a minor. And
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: since a minor can't be a prostitute, well, that would
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: mean that it's not solicitation of a minor, that it's
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: child abuse and child molestation. And that's exactly what Jeffrey
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Epstein and all of his pals were up to. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the fact that he was only hit with the charges
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: he was hit with. Those were all specifically tailored so
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that all these other people later on could try and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: use that as their cover. Oh, he was just soliciting
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a minor. He did his time. He was rehabilitated. When
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: everybody knows that it was so much worse than that.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And Jamie Dimon can yap like this until the end
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of the world if he wants. Until Chad Daybell collects 144,000 jerk-offs.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: But the fact's going to remain. that Jeffrey Epstein was
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a child molester, that Jeffrey Epstein was abusing girls, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: that JP Morgan and their higher-ups, they all knew about it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Diamond is scheduled to give a deposition beginning May 26
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for civil lawsuits filed in Manhattan federal court by the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: government of the U.S. Virgin Islands and an Epstein sex
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: abuse accuser. The suits accuse JP Morgan of enabling and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: benefiting from Epstein sex trafficking and which included sending young
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: women to the Virgin Islands to be abused by him
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and others at his private island there. Court filings this
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: week show in detail that for years, employees of JP
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Morgan shared with each other concerns about having Epstein as
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a client, well before the bank terminated their relationship with Epstein.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I am so sad that we had any relationship to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that man whatsoever, Diamond told Bloomberg on Thursday. You know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: we had top lawyers evaluating from the U.S. Securities and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Exchange Commission, Enforcement, the Department of Justice, you know, and obviously,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: had we known then what we know today, we would
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: have done things differently. But it's very unfortunate, and I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: have a deep respect for those women, Diamond said. He's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: sitting here and just straight up lying. That's what he's doing.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Because everybody back then knew what he was. It wasn't
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a secret. And all of these clowns, like Jamie Dimon
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and the rest of them, it was always a wink
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: wink and a nudge, right? Oh, well, didn't he just
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: get nailed for solicitation? Wink wink, nudge nudge. That doesn't
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: mean we're liable for the action of an individual, but
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I do have a deep respect for them. My heart
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: goes out to them, he said. Epstein, who was a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: client of the bank beginning in 1998 and kept millions
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of dollars on deposit, pleaded guilty in 2008 to a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Florida state charge of soliciting sex from an underage girl.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: He was sentenced to 13 months in jail. What a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: hell of a time to be alive, huh? And also
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: remember when they arrested this scumbag, there was no perp walk.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: We didn't get to see him dragged into court like
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the scoundrel he is. In fact, he got tipped off.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Despite that conviction, Epstein remained a customer of J.P. Morgan
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: until 2013. J.P. Morgan recently has tried to shift legal
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: responsibility for its relationship with Epstein to Jeff Staley, the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: former chief of investment banking at the firm, who had
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a close contact with Epstein over the years when he
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: was a customer. There's no doubt that Jeff Staley is
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a villain on this stage. But J.P. Morgan and Jamie
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Dimon trying to set him up like he is the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: final bad guy, well, that's a bit of a stretch.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And it's a rather transparent attempt of them trying to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: whitewash their own involvement. But at a court hearing in March,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a lawyer for the Virgin Islands told Judge Jed Rakoff
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that Jamie Dimon knew in 2008 that his billionaire client
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: was a sex trafficker. If Staley is a rogue employee,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: why isn't Jamie Dimon? The lawyer, Mimi Liu, said at
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the hearing, Staley knew, Dimon knew, JPMorgan Chase knew about
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Epstein's criminal conduct, Liu said. They broke every rule to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: facilitate his sex trafficking in exchange for Epstein's wealth, connections,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and referrals. And that is for sure a fact. But
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you know who else knew? Law enforcement. Why didn't law
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: enforcement step in? Why didn't law enforcement bring Jeffrey Epstein
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to heel? And that's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Lou
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: said the banks should have flagged as suspicious cash transactions
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and wire transfers by Epstein, which included sending hundreds of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: thousands of dollars to several women. And I don't know
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: how that didn't occur. When you work with money, there
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: are very, very strict guidelines that you have to adhere
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: to when certain thresholds are crossed. So anytime you're doing
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: anything with cash that's over $ 10, 000... That money is going
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to be tracked by whatever entity that you're doing business with,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: whether it be a casino or a bank, whatever. That $ 10, 000
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: is going to be reported. And that's part of the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: anti-money laundering laws and Title 31 laws that are on
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the books. A lawyer for J.P. Morgan... at that hearing
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: denied that Diamond had any specific knowledge about Epstein, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a bank spokeswoman has said Jamie Diamond has no recollection
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of reviewing the Epstein accounts. Not that he didn't, just
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: that he had no recollection. Words matter. Epstein killed himself
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in jail, allegedly, in August of 2019, a month after
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: being arrested on federal child sex trafficking charges. Since then,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: A number of former friends and associates of Epstein, among
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: them Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Britain's Prince Andrew, have
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: been criticized for their relationships with the Predator. And every
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: last person who was real close to Epstein at any point,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: they should have their whole entire relationship with this dude exposed.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately, the legacy media is way more interested in
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: getting people riled up to hate one another than actually
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: exposing the real scuzzballs in society. Staley stepped down as
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: CEO of Barclays in November of 2021 because of his
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: ties to Epstein. A November 2nd, 2006 email made public
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: this week in court filings for one of the lawsuits
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: against JP Morgan highlights the concern a top bank official
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: had about Epstein. The email was sent from Ann Borowitz,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: then head of investor relations for JP Morgan, to Staley,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: who was then CEO of JP Morgan's Asset Management Division.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: The message's subject line is, Epstein, please call me. Borowitz
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: began the message by asking Staley, who was on a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: plane to Hong Kong, to call her when he could
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: regarding an upcoming meeting her team was scheduled to have,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: apparently with Epstein. Also, having done a little due diligence,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I have concerns on risk management with this client, she wrote.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: We have a bad track record internally on risk, as
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you know. Is Jeffrey going to stay involved here? How
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: are we managing risk here? Please call. Thanks. Ann. And
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: there's a whole ass department that they have that's supposed
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to deal with risk management. And a lot of times
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: when you're dealing with people like Jess Daly or Jamie
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Dimon or some other big shot. they can bypass all
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of that. In January 2011, several years after Epstein pleaded
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: guilty to the Florida state case and became a registered
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: sex offender, a JP Morgan executive director named Marianne Ryan
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: was who was a compliance manager, wrote an email to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Philip DeLuca, the bank's compliance director, noting a rapid response
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: meeting on Epstein, the sleazy private banking client. They're even
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: calling him sleazy in the emails, but they had no
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: idea who he is, right? They think you're stupid. That's
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: what they truly believe. They think that everybody out there
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: is dumb as hell and they're just gonna buy the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: bullshit that they're pitching hook, line, and sinker. But they
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: should realize that that's not the case with the people
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: who are following this case. People are done with the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: bullshit and people are not going to believe any more
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: of the nonsense, especially from people like Jamie Dimon. DeLuca replied,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: this is the guy who likes young girls, correct? Hope
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: they don't cave. A June 2013 email chain between Ryan
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and DeLuca contains an attachment that detailed aspects of the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: bank's relationship with Epstein, which was previously escalated to the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: PB Reputational Risk Committee. The email notes that in July 2008,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: PB Risk referred Jeffrey Epstein to AML, anti-money laundering investigations,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: for excessive cash activity. This is what I was talking
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: about with AML and with Title 31. When you're effing
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: around with a bunch of cash and you're moving it
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: all over the place, you're going to get noticed. And
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: more times than not, if the institution is on the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: up and up, you're going to get suspicious activity reports.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: You're going to get all kinds of tags on your account.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: And you're probably going to have your account frozen until
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you can answer for what you're doing. Unless, of course,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you're Jeffrey Epstein. During the course of the Transaction Activity Review,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: an open source review of media reports yielded several negative
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: media articles alleging connections between Jeffrey Epstein and the prostitution
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: underage sex trade. The underage sex trade? What does that
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: even mean? Wouldn't that be human trafficking? Child human trafficking?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: The copied section of the email goes on to say
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: that AML Investigations and PB Risk held discussions that reconfirmed
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: they had documented Epstein's negative background and marked him high risk.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: The section notes that in October 2010, AML Investigations escalated
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: news stories, indicated renewed law enforcement interest in Epstein, and
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: requested a rapid response call. And keep in mind, this
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: was two years before they even dropped him as a client.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: An email chain with DeLuca on it shows a rapid
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: response call was held in January 2011, after which Epstein
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: was again retained as a client. But an agreement was
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: made that Catherine Keating and William Langford explained to Jess
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Daly that how the existence of the Epstein relationship could
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: undermine the human trafficking project underway within AML investigations. Keating
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: was CEO of the J.P. Morgan Private Bank from 2005
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: through July 2011. they state clearly that Jeffrey Epstein's bullshit
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: was a hindrance to the AML investigations that were surrounding
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the human trafficking project. Yet the bank kept him as
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a client. Not only that, retained him after all of
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: this knowledge that they say they didn't have was made
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: public to them through their own emails, by the way.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: That anti-money laundering project was spearheaded by Langford, who prior
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to joining J.P. Morgan in 2006, was a regulatory policy
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: official at the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: And you should all be familiar with that, considering the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: extensive coverage we had during the FinCEN file leaks. Langford
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: mentioned that he briefed Stephen Cutler on the potential press
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and optics related to maintaining the Epstein relationship, while at
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the same time spearheading the human trafficking effort within AML.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: The email states... Cutler was a former general counsel and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: head of legal compliance and compliance activities. No change in retention,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the email concludes. So there you have it. All their
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: bullshit lies, all the nonsense they try to pitch you,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: it is absolutely destroyed within their own words in these emails.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: So they can talk about narratives and they can try
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and recreate history, but we all know the truth. The
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: question is, when is the government going to hold any
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: of them responsible? All right, everybody, that's going to do
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it for this one. All of the information that goes
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: with the episode can be found in the description box.
