Did JPMorgan Go Easy on Alleged Sex Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein?

Everyone on Wall Street who knew disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is busy distancing themselves from the convicted pedophile, who died of an apparent suicide Saturday in a federal jail cell in New York City, where he was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The lurid case involving underage girls has name-checked politicians, a prince, and a number of billionaires — most of whom likely wish they’d never met the man.

Then there’s JPMorgan Chase, which is pushing back against aNew York Times周四报告称，即使其合规人员推荐这样做，该银行拒绝与爱普斯坦的联系与Epstein脱颖而出。银行终于与埃普斯坦辞职，他们是2013年是JPMORGAN的私人银行客户的业务。

JPMorgan is connected to Epstein through two former high-level executives and — according to theTimes— one current one.

2008年，爱普斯坦被指控与未成年人的性犯罪，并在佛罗里达州法院征求卖淫。明年JPMORGAN的合规官员“建议该银行将其联系削减到金融家......因为他的账户构成了不可接受的法律和声誉风险，”Times报道。

多年的评论在麦迪夫时代的货币币名的议案中进行的银行将“Epstein的账户......潜在问题”标记为“潜在的问题”Timeswrote.

故事中的令人惊叹的启示是玛丽·埃尔多诺 - 谁是JPMORAN的资产管理部门的负责人，并被广泛地将潜在的继任者视为CEO Jamie Dimon - 根据六个人的情况，杰克·莫登 - 迈进·埃普斯坦作为客户，根据六个人Times谈话。

Joseph Evangelisti, a JPMorgan spokesman, said theTimes错了。

“玛丽永远不会估计我们的合规团队或其他控件才能保留客户，”他告诉过Times. “She has only one recollection of formally meeting with the customer, which was the day she fired him as a client.”

据此，爱普斯坦被视为客户Times报告，因为他帮助富裕的人民聘请了JPMORGAN的私人银行部门。

The report said that an internal debate at the bank over the issue was so heated that one compliance officer quit. The matter finally came to a head in 2013, according to theTimes，当货币的审计员“公开命令银行来改善其检测洗钱并严格审查客户的流程。”

Epstein was kicked out of JPMorgan that year, around the same time two of his most important connections to JPMorgan also left: Jes Staley, who by then was the CEO of JPMorgan’s investment bank, and Glenn Dubin, then head of hedge fund Highbridge Capital, which JPMorgan owns.

2001年至2009年间，Staley - Epstein在JPMORGAN的最强大的联系 - 一直在运行JPMORANG的资产管理部门，当时Staley晋升为运营投资银行时，职业埃尔多诺登陆。Staley现在是巴克莱银行的首席执行官。

Staley在JPMORGAN的签名成就是2004年的大多数大部分股权​​，该银行在高桥首都占据了大桥资本，它彻底拥有。如今，Highbridge是250亿美元的Juggernaut和银行资产管理部门的支柱。

爱泼斯坦,事实证明,也在一定程度上导致for making that deal happen. In 1998, according to an individual familiar with the matter, he had introduced Staley to Dubin, the co-founder of Highbridge.

当熟悉该交易的人表示，当jpmorgan达到高桥的未公开的股权时，对冲基金会给了一项1500万美元的“经纪人”，虽然人们在熟悉该交易的情况下质疑他所做的费用所做的那些费用。（Highbridge拒绝评论费用，称交易的条款是私人的。该华尔街日报earlier reported the fee.)

Dubin通过他的妻子，瑞典小姐和模特转向20世纪80年代埃普斯坦女朋友的博士学慈善家，杜巴·埃迈斯坦凭借爱泼斯特靠近埃普斯坦。（Epstein也是高桥的投资者，直到拜宾在2013年离开。）杜宾斯显然与普通州的爱普斯坦与融资有关系，甚至据报道，他从监狱释放后与他一起度过的感恩。

在星期五，Dubin的名字再次在爱泼斯坦的案件中浮出水面，当弗吉尼亚州Giuffre的诽谤诉讼中的文件 - 据称的受害者之一 - 反对Ghislaine Maxwell，被指控征求未成年女孩的Epstein的性愉悦的英国社交人员被联系。在文件的树丛中是2016年的Giuffre沉积。在其中，她声称Dubin是除了Epstein的第一个人，她被迫与2001年发生性关系。

在他最近的逮捕后，杜宾斯与爱泼斯坦分手了，公开谴责他。

“Glenn and Eva Dubin are outraged by the allegations against them in the unsealed court records and categorically reject them,” a spokeswoman for the couple told亚博赞助欧冠周六。
