Just weeks after Jeffrey Epstein died in jail in 2019, banking giant JPMorgan Chase alerted the Trump administration to more than $1 billion in potentially suspicious transactions involving several high-profile U.S. business figures, as well as wire transfers to Russian banks.

The report, which JPMorgan filed – and which was released this week among hundreds of pages of previously sealed court records – flagged over 4,700 transactions, amid concerns they could potentially be related to human trafficking operations involving Epstein.

Among the names highlighted in JPMorgan’s suspicious activity report are: Leon Black, co-founder of private equity firm Apollo Global Management and former MoMA chairman; billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin; celebrity attorney Alan Dershowitz; and trusts linked to retail magnate Leslie Wexner.

Though each man appeared in connection with financial dealings tied to Epstein, what those transactions involved, and precisely how Epstein fits into the picture, remains unclear. None of them has been charged with crimes in connection with the disgraced financier.

11. Exactly. The sex was just the bait. The game was money laundering and extortion

Epstein, Maxwell, and Trump were all in Russia's orbit, if not entirely loyal Russian agents. We already knew that Trump handled a lot of money laundering in cahoots with Deutsche Bank, but that obviously (now) involved other banks like Morgan. We know for certain that Deutsche ran this Russian money laundering scheme very intentionally as a line-of-business. We don't yet know whether Morgan's involvement was peripheral or intentional. Obviously some people within Morgan were well aware of it, but we don't know if it was sanctioned/driven at the executive level.

Given these things, it is pretty clear what Trump's role was. We know he was helpful to Epstein in recruiting women and girls for the sex ring, and that some of those activities took place at Mar-a-Lago. But that, as salacious as it is, is really a minor part of the story. Trump boasts of knowing "all the best people". His role, in addition to lending his casinos and real estate properties to the money laundering operation, was to bring these "best people" into Epstein's sex trap to feed the extortion racket.

And in this case, the extortion was not necessarily for money. When we see the full list, we will see that it is heavily populated by powerful people from governments and private industry. The Kompromat was useful in many non-cash ways, causing businesses and governments to take certain decisions that Epstein and/or the Russians could monetize.

[Redleg]

28. I noticed that too

Implies the money went to Trump.

[chowder66]

34. Yep but if he tries to sue over it they could just say well he is in charge.

He is the administration ....so no need to add any more to it.

7. And none of them will ever be charged

with crimes in connection with the disgraced financier.

13. Garland will sort this out shortly, just wait

[republianmushroom]

16. Been waiting a little more than 4 years now.

Got a feeling it is going to be a lot longer.

Starting to see a little crack in my faith in Garland (even thou many here told me not to worry, Garland and the DOJ will take care of it) about the size of the Grand Canyon. Many here seem to have lied to me while they stroked Garland and the DOJ. My take.

[Orrex]

17. Careful--you'll get a scolding from his cheerleaders

Thou shalt not speak ill of Garland.

[republianmushroom]

19. Been getting that for about 3 years now.

[Orrex]

What else could it be?

Dump was involved with trafficking.

[JoseBalow]

26. Shitty headline

[BumRushDaShow]

31. NYT actually had the article last night (I am out of gift links until tomorrow)

JPMorgan Alerted U.S. to Epstein Transfers Involving Wall St. Figures

[JoseBalow]

35. "JPMorgan Alerted U.S. to Epstein Transfers Involving Wall St. Figures"

That is an accurate headline, not like the one in the OP that inaccurately infers some transactions to drumpf.

[BumRushDaShow]

36. The NYT has this paragraph however

(snip)

JPMorgan said in its report that it was flagging about 4,700 transactions, totaling more than $1 billion, because they were potentially related to reports of human trafficking involving Mr. Epstein. It also mentioned Mr. Epstein’s wire transfers to Russian banks and sensitivities around “his relationships with two U.S. presidents.” Mr. Epstein at times was close with President Trump and former President Bill Clinton.

(snip)

[John1956PA]

32. The headline is indeed misleading. I had to re-read the material a few times to ascertain that it refers to . . .

. . . the 2019 Trump Administration DOJ having been alerted to 4,700 transactions, and those transactions did not involve Trump himself.

[gab13by13]

27. Too bad someone couldn't put the heat on Dershowitz

he would fold like a cheap suit.

Don't suppose Bondi or Patel will follow up on this?

[Martin68]

29. "Follow the Money." The Russian angle looks very, very interesting...

[gfarber]

30. The Paper Trail

When Epstein had met his demise,
A bank raised its skeptical eyes.
A billion, they said,
Through accounts had been spread —
And whispers of “trafficking” rise.

Chase found it all rather wild —
Transactions both vast and compiled.
From Russia to fame,
They listed each name,
And quietly flagged every mile.

There’s Black, and there’s Dubin, and more,
Whose dealings drew note from the floor.
Dershowitz too,
And Wexner in view —
But charges? Not one to explore.

Though numbers and transfers abound,
The truth is still nowhere found.
Each thread that they pull
Seems murky and dull —
Yet shadows still circle the ground.

So JPMorgan did warn,
Just weeks after Epstein was gone.
Their filings now aired,
Show secrets once snared —
And questions that linger at dawn.

[SamuelTheThird]

33. Dershowitz? Quelle surprise

[Mosby]

37. WSJ

In April 2002, JPMorgan Chase raised a red flag about Jeffrey Epstein.

The bank had noticed his accounts were cashing an unusual number of checks, many for $9,500 or $9,800—just under the $10,000 limit that draws increased attention.

JPMorgan filed what’s known as a suspicious activity report, or SAR, to federal law enforcement because of a clear pattern of transactions typically meant to evade authorities.

The bank would file another report in December 2002 and another in April 2003. The flags were raised well before any public knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and associations with girls and young women, but had little impact on his activities.

Epstein would be arrested in Florida three years later, plead guilty in 2008, and then continue his extravagant lifestyle until 2019. He would remain a JPMorgan client until 2013, meeting with top executives from the bank and connecting them with his wealthy associates, including Leon Black and Bill Gates.

-snip-

The red flags were raised internally at the bank throughout its relationship with Epstein, who had dozens of accounts and moved millions of dollars. At one point, Epstein and his associates told JPMorgan staff the cash was needed to pay for fuel for his private jet, but some JPMorgan staffers were skeptical especially after media coverage of Epstein’s 2006 arrest in Florida showed he was paying for sex with minors.

In 2008, the bank filed another SAR on Epstein, citing the prosecution and flagging $800,000 in withdrawals in 2007 and 2008.

In an email exchange in 2013, JPMorgan staffers discussed whether they should include concerns in a SAR about Epstein potentially using the cash to pay for sex, not just for jet fuel. The bank did file a SAR raising concerns about the fuel story, showing one Epstein account took out more than $200,000 in cash in 2011 and $290,000 in 2012.

Quite a different focus compared to the OP article.
