JP Morgan Attempts To Unmask One Of It's Epstein Related Accusers (9/2/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Both JP Morgan and Jess Daly are trying to learn
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the identity of the Jane Doe that is suing both entities. Now,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Judge Rakoff hasn't made a decision one way or the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: other about revealing this identity yet, but that decision is
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: expected to come in the very near future. Now, under
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: normal circumstances... I'd be on board with whoever the accuser
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: is having their identity revealed considering they're making these accusations.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: But when we're talking about people in the Jeffrey Epstein world,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: people who have been absolutely traumatized by the abuse, it's
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a different story. And we have seen time and time
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: again people that were involved with Epstein try and use
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: this kind of tactic simply to out somebody to try
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and destroy their credibility. And that certainly seems to be
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the tactic here that JP Morgan and Jess Daly both
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: are looking to use. So we have two articles this morning,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: one from Fortune and the other one from ABC News
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: dealing with Jamie Dimon. All right. So the first article
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: is from Fortune and the headline. Both JP Morgan and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a disgraced executive are asking a court to reveal a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Jane Doe victim of Jeffrey Epstein, but for different reasons.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: This article was authored by Ava Benny Morrison and Bloomberg.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: JPMorgan Chase and Company, which is facing a lawsuit by
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a Jane Doe victim of Jeffrey Epstein, is trying to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: learn the identity of another Jane Doe, making similar claims
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: against Deutsche Bank. The U.S. Bank said on Friday in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a letter filed in Manhattan federal court that it needed
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to know the Deutsche Bank Jane Doe's identity because she
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: may have knowledge of the inner workings of Jeffrey Epstein's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: sex trafficking operation and his relationship with associates like former
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: JP Morgan executive Jess Daly. That doesn't pass the sniff
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: test for me. Sorry, we're not talking about your run-of-the-mill
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: allegation here. We're talking about allegations against Jeffrey Epstein. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of course, people are going to be hesitant to have
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: their identity revealed because of the extreme blowback that could
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: be coming their way. Staley also asked for the identity
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of the Deutsche Bank Jane Doe, saying he needed it
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to avoid being subject to ambush by JP Morgan, which
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is suing him to cover its potential liability for having
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Epstein as a client between 1998 and 2013. You want
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to talk about a gigantic game of not it? That's
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: what Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan are engaging in right now.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It's everybody else's fault. It's not our institution's fault. It's
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: not our boss's fault. It's Jeff Staley's fault. It's the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: world at large's fault. Anybody but us. That's the strategy
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that is always employed by the financial sector. In a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Monday court filing, a lawyer representing both victims opposed revealing
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the Deutsche Bank Jane Doe's identity. Brad Edwards said she
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: only had limited information relevant to JPMorgan and Staley that
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: did not outweigh her privacy interests. Jane Doe, too, has
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: clear privacy interests in not disclosing to them her name
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: as an Epstein sex abuse survivor, Edwards wrote. U.S. District
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Judge Jed Rakoff, who is presiding over both cases, hasn't
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: ruled on the issue. Separately on Monday, the judge granted
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a request by Deutsche Bank for communications between the Jane
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Doe suing it and the one suing J.P. Morgan, given
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: their lawyer one week to comply. So look, Judge Rakoff
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: seems to be leaning towards revealing the identity here in
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: this lawsuit. And I think that's a terrible idea, at
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: least not yet. Wait until the lawsuit moves a little
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: bit further, maybe discovery, something like that. But revealing it
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: now at this early stage, what you're going to do
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: is set it up so that whoever the accuser is,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: if they do reveal their identity, so they can be
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: pressed now. Oh, what, you don't think Jamie Dimon and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the rest of these scoundrels don't have real-life Ray Donovans
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in their employ? Because they do. Epstein moved most of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: his accounts to Deutsche Bank after J.P. Morgan cut ties
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: with him in 2013. The German bank also dropped Epstein
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: as a client in 2018. The lawsuits against both banks
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: accused them of knowingly benefiting from Epstein's sex trafficking. J.P.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Morgan and Deutsche Bank have denied knowledge of Epstein's crimes.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: The J.P. Morgan litigation has attracted more attention than the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: suit against Deutsche Bank, in part because the allegations concerning
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the depths of Staley's relationship with Epstein. The plaintiff suing J.P.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Morgan's claim, Staley had knowledge of Epstein's crimes that can
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: be imputed to the bank. Staley, who went on to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: become the chief executive officer at Barclays PLC before stepping
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: down in 2021, over his Epstein ties, has called the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: allegations baseless and slanderous in a court filing. Oh yeah,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: very baseless. Jeff Staley, 1,200 emails, Snow White, Beauty and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the Beast. Baseless though, is it? In its letter, filed
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: last Friday, JP Morgan pledged that it would not release
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the Deutsche Bank plaintiff's identity, but said she had relevant
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: information about Staley. The U.S. Bank has also said It
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: believed she was a percipient witness to its own Jane
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Doe's experiences. JP Morgan also said Deutsche Bank had already
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: been given the identity of both Jane Doe's. Staley's attorney,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Brendan Sullivan, and his client needed to learn the Deutsche
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Bank Jane Doe's identity in order to test the veracity
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: of her potential testimony in JP Morgan's action against them.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Lawyers for Deutsche Bank have previously argued the lawsuit against
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it should be dismissed because the plaintiff previously signed a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: settlement agreement that protected entities tied to Epstein from being
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: sued thereafter. Her lawyers claim that protection did not extend
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to financial institutions. So once again, the non-prosecution agreement rearing
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: its ugly ass head and these scumbags trying to use
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it as some sort of defense for themselves. Thankfully, It
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: hasn't worked out so well in the past, and I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: don't think it's going to work in the future. But
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: we'll have to see what happens here and what ruling
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Judge Rakoff makes, because obviously that's going to be crucial
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to what happens next. All right, on to our next article.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And this article is from ABC News. Headline, JPMorgan Chase
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: CEO Jamie Dimon to be deposed in an Epstein suit.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And we've talked about this before, but we're getting a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: little more detail here. some more facts, and some more
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: information about when this deposition is supposed to go down.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: This article was authored by Larry Neumeister. JPMorgan Chase & Company,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Jamie Dimon, must undergo up to two days of questioning
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: by lawyers handling lawsuits over whether the bank can be
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: held liable in pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of teenage
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: girls and women, a federal judge said Tuesday. During a
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: telephone conference with lawyers, Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan ordered
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Jamie Dimon to set aside two days for deposition testimony,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: though he didn't specify when. He said one day of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: testimony might be sufficient, and lawyers would have to get
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: his approval to continue to a second day. So he
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: has it slated for two days, but according to Judge Rakoff,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it should be over in one, but there is some
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: wiggle room to make it two days if that's necessary.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: The New York Bank, the nation's largest, has been sued
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: by the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands and two women,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: both identified as Jane Doe, who say they were abused
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: by Epstein. The lawsuits contend JP Morgan should have seen
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: evidence of Epstein's sex trafficking and avoided profiting from it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: The bank, besides denying the allegations, has sued one of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: its former executives, saying the man hid Epstein's decades of
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: sex abuse and trafficking to keep Epstein as a client.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And we all know at this point that it wasn't
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: just Jess Daly. Just like it wasn't just Alex Acosta
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: making those decisions. Same goes here. Jess Daly didn't make
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: this decision and just sign off on it and nobody
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: knew about it. Of course, Jamie Dimon knew. Now, did
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: he know all of the details, the inner workings and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: all of that? I don't know. But that's what this
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: deposition is going to do. It's going to provide us
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit more insight into what Jamie Dimon might
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: have known or not known. Darren Oduyo, a JP Morgan spokesperson,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: said lawyers for the lawsuit against JP Morgan know our
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: CEO has no relevant knowledge but persists with this media
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: stunt designed for headlines and clicks. So ridiculous. It has
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with that. It has to do with
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the fact that Jamie Dimon was the boss of JP
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Morgan when all of this was happening. So he's responsible,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: at least in that capacity as the boss of the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: whole operation, that this happened on your watch. So what
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: are you talking about? Has no relevant information. We don't
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: know that until we see a deposition. He said a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: review of more than two decades of emails and other
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: documents made it clear that Diamond had no involvement with
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Epstein or his accounts. He does not recall ever meeting, speaking,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: or communicating with him. Aduye said... Epstein was 66 when
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: he killed himself, allegedly. in a federal jail cell in
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: August of 2019 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Federal prosecutors had accused him of paying underage girls hundreds
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: of dollars for massages at his homes in Florida and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: New York, where he then molested them. Lawyers for JPMorgan said,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: did not immediately return messages seeking comment. So there's a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: quick update on what's going down with Jess Daly, JP Morgan,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and the lawsuit in the Virgin Islands. And obviously this
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: thing is evolving quickly, and as it continues to change
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and it continues to grow, we'll continue to add these
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: episodes to the catalog and follow along with what's happening.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Because even if this doesn't provide us with the long
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: jail terms we all hope that these people will get,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it will give us a little look behind the curtain
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: at what's going on with the financial institutions and certainly
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: with their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. All right, folks, that's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: going to do it for this one. All of the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: information that goes with the episode can be found in
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the description box.
