| A federal judge in New York has issued a warning to JPMorgan Chase,
cautioning the bank that it could be held in contempt of court due to
the sluggish pace at which it is producing evidence for lawsuits
connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The judge
expressed dissatisfaction with the bank's delay in providing the
requested documents and highlighted the importance of promptly
addressing the issue at hand. - This
warning comes as part of ongoing legal proceedings surrounding Epstein's
case and raises concerns about the bank's compliance with the court's
demands.
- The legal proceedings in question are part of the
larger legal aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal charges, and
Chase's involvement in these lawsuits underscores its connection to the
case.
- Epstein was a long-time customer of Chase and held
accounts there until 2014 despite evidence that he was using funds for
illicit purposes, including the trafficking of girls and women to his
private island.
- In 2008, more than five years before Chase
stopped banking Epstein, he was convicted of soliciting sex from an
underage girl for money. Such an offense would normally have caused the
bank to review its relationship with Epstein.
