The relationship between investment bank JPMorgan Chase and deceased child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein was deeper than the firm has previously admitted, according to a Friday report from The Wall Street Journal.
Recent lawsuits filed against JPMorgan Chase assert that Epstein, who ran a hedge fund before his apparent suicide in 2019, benefited from special treatment at the investment bank because he attracted a number of wealthy clients. Even as attorneys insist that the firm is not liable for the crimes committed by Epstein, the firm continued to conduct business with him for five years after his 2008 state-level conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Private Calendar just dropped. The calendar includes meetings with the man who’s now the current Director of the CIA, William Burns, among other prominent names including Rothschild, Kissinger and many more.
The nation’s spy chief, a longtime college president and top women in finance. The circle of people who associated with Jeffrey Epstein years after he was a convicted sex offender is wider than previously reported, according to a trove of documents that include his schedules.
William Burns, director of the Central Intelligence Agency since 2021, had three meetings scheduled with Epstein in 2014, when he was deputy secretary of state, the documents show. They first met in Washington and then Mr. Burns visited Epstein’s townhouse in Manhattan.
Kathryn Ruemmler, a White House counsel under President Barack Obama, had dozens of meetings with Epstein in the years after her White House service and before she became a top lawyer at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in 2020. He also planned for her to join a 2015 trip to Paris and a 2017 visit to Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean.
Leon Botstein, the president of Bard College, invited Epstein, who brought a group of young female guests, to the campus. Noam Chomsky, a professor, author and political activist, was scheduled to fly with Epstein to have dinner at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse in 2015. ...
Noam Chomsky, the famed academic and activist, held multiple meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Chomsky's meetings with Epstein took place long after the disgraced financier had registered as a sex offender, the Journal reported.
When the Journal asked Chomsky about the meetings, the linguist had some choice words.
When asked about their connections with Jeffrey Epstein, many business leaders and bureaucrats have offered tight-lipped regrets and apologies.
Not Noam Chomsky.
The Wall Street Journal, in an exclusive published Sunday, said it had obtained Epstein's private calendar, which outlined numerous meetings with high-profile people, including Chomsky, the famed academic and political activist. When the Journal reached out to Chomsky for comment, the linguist had some choice words.
"First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone's. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally," Chomsky, 94, told the Journal in an email.
Epstein's meetings with Chomsky appear to have taken place in 2015 and 2016, according to the Journal. Epstein was first charged with procuring minors for prostitution and registered as a sex offender in 2008.
In March 2015, Epstein scheduled meetings with Chomsky and a Harvard University professor, the Journal reported. Chomsky confirmed for the paper that there were several meetings where they discussed various topics.
The Journal reported that months later, according to the calendar, Epstein scheduled a flight with Chomsky and his wife for a planned dinner with movie director Woody Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, who is also the adopted daughter of his ex-partner, Mia Farrow.
"If there was a flight, which I doubt, it would have been from Boston to New York, 30 minutes," Chomsky told the Journal. "I'm unaware of the principle that requires that I inform you about an evening spent with a great artist."
Chomsky said he discussed politics and academics in his meetings with Epstein. Epstein donated at least $850,000 between 2002 and 2017 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where Chomsky taught for decades.
"What was known about Jeffrey Epstein was that he had been convicted of a crime and had served his sentence," Chomsky told the Journal about his meetings. "According to U.S. laws and norms, that yields a clean slate."
CIA director Burns met with Epstein at least three times in 2014, while Burns was Obama’s deputy secretary of state. They first met in Washington and then Mr. Burns twice visited Epstein’s personal townhouse in Manhattan for evening appointments. A CIA spokeswoman waved it off: “The director did not know anything about him, other than that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice on [Burns’} transition to the private sector. They had no relationship.”
Makes sense. Seek professional advice from a notorious convicted pedophile. Multiple times. At night.
Reuters ran a story yesterday headlined, “Judge Says JPMorgan Could Be Liable for Epstein Sex Trafficking if Staley Knew About It.”
Ruh-roh, Scooby.
The three U.S. Virgin Islands cases include accusations that Epstein and one of JPMorgan’s top bosses Jes Staley, 66, swapped sexually suggestive messages about young women, including an email where Staley said: “That was fun. Say hi to Snow White.”
The U.S.’s largest bank had moved to dismiss the cases arguing that the bank had no relationship with the victims. But yesterday the judge disagreed, writing “If the allegations in plaintiffs’ complaints are taken as true, Mr. Staley had actual first-hand knowledge that Epstein conducted a sex-trafficking venture.”
Uh oh. Worse, documents show Mr. Staley was a regular guest at Epstein’s sex island.
All three lawsuits, including one brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands, are scheduled for trial this year. Stay tuned.
I don't know if I want to get my hands dirty with it, but I know things that would make national news.
People are diddling kids FAR more than is realized. There's charities that masquerade as helping children. Nope. Donors are just fucking orphans. No joke.
This is why I don't get hung up about a Bud Light can. This shit is faaaaaaar worse than you guys know. Maybe in my 50's I blow the whistle, but it ain't worth it now.

No it wouldn't.
100% would. It involves Senators and a bunch of IL government. Like a bunch. I have no interest in being involved even though it's sick. I know the powers that be will destroy my life. I enjoy my life currently. They know it too. After Snowden or Assange why in the flying fuck would you want to be a whistle blower?
Not saying I'll take it to my grave, but my plan is to gain leverage long term. I've already been burned by a rather large government fuck up that was 100% true. I need more ammo. And I'm always working on getting more. You need a slam dunk, not a layup if you're dealing with government. Resistance takes time. It's not overnight even though I know what I know. I also don't have attorneys on call to handle libel and slander cases. Or the money. It's not a sword I'm willing to die upon at this stage of life.

Ex Barclays boss Jes Staley is accused of abusing girls during a visit to Jeffrey Epstein’s US Virgin Island retreat after the pedophile financier told him to ‘do what he wanted’, lawsuit claims
... The ruling instead revealed that Staley was alleged to have 'used aggressive force in his sexual assault of [anonymous victim 'JPM Jane Doe'] and informed [her] that he had Epstein's permission to do what he wanted to her'.
Victims claim Epstein agreed to bring valuable clients to JPMorgan in exchange for Staley using his influence with the bank to make Epstein 'untouchable'.
Staley has been accused of having 'observed victims personally' and 'visited young girls at Epstein's apartments', exchanging some 1,200 emails with Epstein from 2008 to 2012, said to have included pictures of young women in 'seductive' poses. ...
Lawsuits brought against JPMorgan allege that Staley had first-hand knowledge of Epstein's operation - and now claim his direct involvement.
Suits brought by the US Virgin Islands and an accuser of Epstein also allege that JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank knew about and benefitted from Epstein's sex trafficking. ...
The suits against the banks claim that they let Epstein withdraw cash to pay women involved in his trafficking ring and that they failed to conduct due diligence in reporting.
Palm Beach police started investigating the billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein in 2005 over allegations he had sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl.
Epstein pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 of procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute.

Because it's the right thing to do. And if you don't you have helped to harm children. I'm not being figurative.
The Wall Street Journal has released the second part of its Jeffrey Epstein document dump and Bill Gates does not look good.
Neither does Bill Clinton’s former Treasury Secretary and onetime Harvard University president Larry Summers.
It also spells doom for LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, a major Democrat donor and anti-Trump activist.
Hoffman visited Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean, known by locals as “Pedophile Island,” and was scheduled to stay over at his Manhattan “House of Horrors” townhouse in 2014.
Predictably, Hoffman has tried to downplay his actions.
He told the Journal that “he met with Epstein to raise funds for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and that he regrets interacting with Epstein after his conviction.” ...
Among the new details released by The WSJ:
Mr. Summers continued to meet with Epstein and seek his help years after Harvard decided it would no longer accept his donations.
Reid Hoffman, a billionaire venture capitalist and LinkedIn co-founder, visited Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean and was scheduled to stay over at his Manhattan townhouse in 2014.
Woody Allen, the Oscar-winning movie director, attended dozens of dinners with his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, at Epstein’s mansion and invited Epstein to film screenings.
Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, visited Epstein dozens of times and accepted flights on Epstein’s private jet while visiting his mansions in Florida and New York.
Leon Black, the billionaire co-founder of private-equity giant Apollo Global Management, scheduled more than 100 meetings with Epstein from 2013 to 2017.
I can't risk my family. You understand that's how they gain leverage. My kids and family come first.

Oh, Epstein was an FBI Informant. Lookee Loo.
Anti-Trump activist Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn, has admitted to visiting deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious “Pedophile Island.”
Epstein’s private island, Little St. James in the U.S. Virgins Islands, has been cited by several victims as a key location where sex abuse took place.
The secluded location became known by locals and authorities as “Pedophile Island” due to the number of underage girls that were seen coming and going from there.
Victims have testified that Epstein and his powerful guests would abuse underage girls on the island, out of view of the authorities.
As Slay News reported earlier, new documents have emerged that show Hoffman, who reportedly boasts a net worth of $2 billion, met with Epstein after he was convicted and jailed for child sex abuse charges.
Government investigators are reporting that Google co-founder Larry Page has disappeared after a subpoena was issued for his testimony in a Jeffrey Epstein underage trafficking case.
Authorities in the U.S. Virgin Islands issued subpoenas against Page and Google parent company Alphabet in the lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase & Co. bank.
The lawsuit accuses JPMorgan, America’s largest bank, of playing a role in Epstein’s international child sex trafficking operation.
However, a new legal filing reveals that investigators have been unable to locate Page since the subpoena was issued.

Very little of this is new information.
e.g., I was tweeting CNBC pundits in 2017 and after about, for example, Larry Summers’ ridiculously close ties to Epstein. People who followed me.
They’d have Summers on frequently for a tongue-bath. Bloomberg still does, almost daily. No one ever has asked about Epstein.
They all just don’t care. No spines (Ben Hunt told Carl Quintanilla to grow one).
The media is completely com…

In shocking scenes, an investor has been arrested for blasting Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates during a Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ meeting.
The investor was Pete Flaherty, the chairman and CEO of the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC).
Flaherty and NLPC have been campaigning for Berkshire Hathaway to have a separate CEO and chairman.
Both of those roles are currently occupied by Gates’s close friend and fellow multi-billionaire Warren Buffett.
During the shareholders’ meeting on Saturday, Flaherty questioned the political motivations of Buffett, a Democrat.
While addressing other shareholders at the meeting, Flaherty called into question the issue of having one person as chairman and CEO by highlighting Buffett’s links to Bill Gates.
He continued by telling the crowd that “we all know how much Bill Gates cares about children ” because he “traveled with Jeffrey Epstein.”
Flaherty’s microphone was then cut off and he was arrested and removed from the meeting by force in front of stunned investors.
Flaherty was arrested and charged with criminal trespassing by police in Omaha, Nebraska, even though his name was on the list of attendees for the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting.
“I apparently touched the third rail of billionaire politics when I mentioned Jeffrey Epstein’s name,” Flaherty told The Daily Signal on Monday.
“I’ve been involved in shareholder activism for 19 years, and I have never before had my mic cut and I was never before arrested.”
Billionaire Who Funded E. Jean Carroll’s Lawsuit Against Trump Visited Epstein’s Island
Reid Hoffman also met with sex trafficker on at least two other occasions.
I don't know about that. Having a lot of money depends on having a public identity.

Maybe you can name the Rothschild's and list their residences then?
So here is the hypothesis-
1) A substantial fraction of global elites (idle rich) have been consumed by novelty seeking behaviors. The “new wealth” idle rich, who can virtually satisfy any whims they may have with little or no consequence, have an insatiable and escalating need to be entertained.
2) Of these, as has often happened within idle elites throughout history, some have become sex addicts, constantly seeking additional stimulation and novelty, in many cases manifesting as sexual paraphilias . For example, see this article concerning prostitution during the most recent WEF meeting in Davos. See also the case of Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, his clientele, and the notorious “Lolita express” and “pedo island”.

Among the bones broken in Epstein’s neck was the hyoid bone, which in men is near the Adam’s apple. These breaks can occur in those who hang themselves, particularly if they are older, according to forensics experts and studies on the subject.
But they are more common in victims of homicide by strangulation.
Even Jonathan L. Arden, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, admitted that a hyoid break is more commonly associated with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging.
