Victims of Jeffrey Epstein Plead with JP Morgan Execs to Admit Knowledge of His Sexual Abuse & Trafficking
Edited by: TJVNews.com
Three of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims in his sex-trafficking ring penned emotional letters begging JPMorgan Chase executives to admit they knew about the sexual abuse as the banking giant faces two lawsuits alleging it benefited financially from Epstein’s operation, the Post reported.
The Post also reported that when JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was questioned under oath last week about the nearly 15 years Epstein was a client, he was asked whether he received one particular victim’s letter — to which he replied no, but that he had “enormous sympathy” for her. That victim was Haley Robson, according to the Daily Beast.
In 2004, Robson was a 16-year-old student at Royal Palm High School in West Palm Beach, Florida. It was then that Epstein recruited her to be part of his cadre of underage girls with whom he had relations with and with whom he trafficked to others.
In a recent letter written to Dimon, Robson, now 30, described the “shame” and “criticism” she’s experienced since Epstein’s demise, the Post reported.
“I cannot begin to explain how Epstein has consumed my life. I cannot make you see, for you to feel or even request that you show compassion to all the survivors,” the letter began, according to the Daily Beast.
“Why did we all get picked apart publicly when the reality is you and many more knew something and didn’t speak up?! How did the unexplained cash withdrawals not get reported?” Robson wrote, referring to Epstein’s frequent withdrawals from his JPMorgan accounts, which totaled more than $750,000 per year, internal bank documents revealed, as was reported by the Post.
Robson added: “I may not be as smart as you, but we should at least agree that the information you withheld has hurt me and many others.” She concluded the letter by addressing Dimon personally. The Post reported that she wrote: “If you are a good human, you will just admit to making a mistake and be the first to try to do what is right to end this chapter on a positive note for all of us.”
The Post reported that while it remains unclear about the exact date that the letter from Robson was sent, it was reportedly prior to Dimon’s deposition.
Another letter, sent from Courtney Wild to Mary Erdoes, CEO of JPMorgan’s asset and wealth management line of business, was dated May 8, 2023, the Post reported.
Wild, who was 14 when Epstein exploited her, told Erdoes in her scathing letter that “all of the crimes he committed required cash and your bank should have recognized that what he was doing was criminal and illegal,” according to the Daily Beast.
“Knowing full well that your bank and your bank alone had information to corroborate what dozens of kids like me were saying about the cash that he used to lure us in, abuse us and keep us quiet, you never notified law enforcement who were investigating his crimes,” Wild wrote in her handwritten letter, the Post reported.
“As a mother, as a woman, as a former little girl, I want you to tell your lawyers to stop torturing victims,” Wild urged Erdoes, who has testified that she communicated with Epstein through phone calls and emails, and visited him in his New York City townhouse twice.
The Post also reported that a third victim, who remained unnamed, sent a letter to Erdoes last year explaining how she thought she was going to Epstein’s Manhattan apartment for an interview to be his part-time personal assistant when he sexually assaulted her. The Jane Doe, who was 23 years old at the time of the abuse, said in the letter that her “life and career took a dark and drastic turn” after that day, according to the Post report.
“Why did you let him stay at your bank after you knew the horrible things that he had done to so many little girls?” she asked.
The Post reported that during his two-day deposition held on May 26-27, Dimon reportedly maintained he never had any dealings with Epstein and pointed fingers at JPMorgan executive Jes Staley — who left the big bank in 2013 following a 30-year tenure for a gig at a hedge fund before rising to run Barclays.
Also in 2013, JPMorgan cut ties with Epstein for being a “high-risk client” over his federal charges for sex-trafficking minors, the paper reported.
Staley, who was ousted from Barclays in November 2021, reportedly exchanged around 1,200 emails with Epstein during his time at JPMorgan. The Post report indicated that he also visited Epstein in prison following his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor in Florida in 2008. Epstein was forced to register as a sex offender in the US Virgin Islands, where he owned two islands, including one known as “Pedophile Island,” the Post reported.
Nearly four years after Epstein’s alleged suicide while in jail in lower Manhattan, the Associated Press recently reported that it had obtained more than 4,000 pages of documents related to Epstein’s death from the federal Bureau of Prisons under the Freedom of Information Act. They include a detailed psychological reconstruction of the events leading to Epstein’s suicide, as well as his health history, internal agency reports, emails, memos and other records, the AP said in a recently published article.
Taken together, the documents the AP obtained last week provide the most complete accounting to date of Epstein’s detention and death, and its chaotic aftermath. The records help to dispel the many conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s suicide, underscoring how fundamental failings at the Bureau of Prisons — including severe staffing shortages and employees cutting corners — contributed to Epstein’s death.
The AP also reported that they shed new light on the federal prison agency’s muddled response after Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at the now-shuttered Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.
In one email, a prosecutor involved in Epstein’s criminal case complained about a lack of information from the Bureau of Prisons in the critical hours after his death, writing that it was “frankly unbelievable” that the agency was issuing public press releases “before telling us basic information so that we can relay it to his attorneys who can relay it to his family,” the AP report said.
In another email, a high-ranking Bureau of Prisons official made a spurious suggestion to the agency’s director that news reporters must have been paying jail employees for information about Epstein’s death because they were reporting details of the agency’s failings — impugning the ethics of journalists and the agency’s own workers.
The documents also provide a fresh window into Epstein’s behavior during his 36 days in jail, including his previously unreported attempt to connect by mail with another high-profile pedophile: Larry Nassar, the U.S. gymnastics team doctor convicted of sexually abusing scores of athletes, according to the AP report.
Epstein’s letter to Nassar was found returned to sender in the jail’s mail room weeks after Epstein’s death. “It appeared he mailed it out and it was returned back to him,” the investigator who found the letter told a prison official by email, according to the AP report. “I am not sure if I should open it or should we hand it over to anyone?” The letter itself was not included among the documents turned over to the AP.
The night before Epstein’s death, he excused himself from a meeting with his lawyers to make a telephone call to his family. The AP reported that according to a memo from a unit manager, Epstein told a jail employee that he was calling his mother, who’d been dead for 15 years at that point.
Epstein’s death put increased scrutiny on the Bureau of Prisons and led the agency to close the Metropolitan Correctional Center in 2021. It spurred an AP investigation that has uncovered deep, previously unreported problems within the agency, the Justice Department’s largest with more than 30,000 employees, 158,000 inmates and an $8 billion annual budget.
An internal memo, undated but sent after Epstein’s death, attributed problems at the jail to “seriously reduced staffing levels, improper or lack of training, and follow up and oversight.” The AP reported that the memo also detailed steps the Bureau of Prisons has taken to remedy lapses Epstein’s suicide exposed, including requiring supervisors to review surveillance video to ensure officers made required cell checks.
