JP Morgan warned US of $1bn in Epstein transactions possibly related to human trafficking

[Uncle Joe]

Bank says it alerted US of ‘suspicious’ transactions just weeks after paedophile was found dead in New York jail cell

The largest bank in the US filed a suspicious activity report (SAR) in 2019, just weeks after Epstein was found dead in a New York jail cell, about transactions linked to the paedophile financier and prominent business figures. It also flagged wire transfers made by Epstein to Russian banks.

JP Morgan’s report said it had flagged about 4,700 transactions, totalling more than $1bn, that were potentially related to reports of human trafficking involving Epstein, the New York Times reported. The report, filed during the last Trump administration, also flagged sensitivities around Epstein’s “relationships with two U.S. presidents”.

The report was included in a release of previously sealed court records that were made public on Thursday after requests from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. The documents included other SARs that JPMorgan filed in the years before Epstein’s 2019 arrest about large cash withdrawals, the New York Times reported.

Patricia Wexler, a spokesperson for JPMorgan, said the release of the SARs showed that the bank had alerted regulators about Epstein.

Whose administration would have handled this alert?
Or more to the point, ignored it?
