Jes Staley Complains About Being Railroaded By The Epstein Allegations
About this episode
Those denials, however, collapse under the weight of the documented facts. Emails, travel records, and testimony show that Staley maintained a far closer and longer relationship with Jeffrey Epstein than he publicly acknowledged, including repeated personal contact well after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. Evidence revealed during regulatory investigations and litigation contradicts Staley’s claims of distance and ignorance, exposing a pattern of sustained engagement that undercuts his credibility. When set against the paper trail, Staley’s insistence that he was merely an unlucky bystander rings hollow—less a case of being railroaded, and more an example of how implausible denials unravel once they’re tested against emails, calendars, and sworn findings.

It's been right in front of you this entire time, a leaven-charming waterfront town, a hidden gem, uncrowded and ready to host your best vacation yet. And all you have to do is veer slightly off I-95. Visit crystalcoastincy.com slashbookingnow. This is a classic attempt to muddy the waters, when the reality is, both groups, meaning the management structure of JP Morgan and Jess daily and anybody around him, they all knew the
deal. They knew what Epstein was up to. They knew he was a dirt bag scumbags son of a bitch, and they knew that he was molesting and hurting people. They didn't care. That's what it comes down to. They did not care that Epstein was engaging in all of this behavior because he was bringing other rich scumbags to the bank. And as long as that was happening and the money kept flowing in, then everybody was very content. To hang out with Epstein, they were all content to take his money. They were all content to do business with them. Well, guess what now? It's time to answer some questions. Today's article is from NBC News and the headline, JP Morgan alleges former executive thwarted efforts to cut ties with Epstein. The bank claimed Jess daily knew of Epstein sex trafficking and engaged in sexual activity with young women procured by Epstein. Staley has said he is being used as a PR shield. And honestly, all of that is true. They are using him as a PR shield, but he was engaged in all
of Epstein's bullshit. And according to at least some reports, he was involved in the actual abuse of some of these girls so that elevates him from just an enabler to absolute piece of shit status right up there with guys like Bill Richardson, Glenn Dubin, George Mitchell, and the rest of them. This article was authored by Chloe Atkins. JP Morgan Chase claimed its former executive Jess Staley repeatedly thwarted its efforts to cut ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during Staley's tenure at the bank. According to court documents filed this week. So you mean to tell me that Jess Staley could tell Jamie Diamond what to do. He could tell the executive board what to do. I don't buy that for a minute. And the fact that they're going to get out here and try and pitch that to people is pretty laughable. I don't think people are buying that bullshit anymore. It's like when we were kids, right? Well, those of us that are older anyway, our parents could tell us anything.
And we couldn't fact check it. We'd have to go to the library to look something up. But now we can go right to the internet, take a look, and no, you're a bullshitting us. So same goes here. Nobody was thwarting anything, okay? You weren't trying to get rid of Jeffrey Epstein. And in fact, what you're doing is lying to us. But unlike the old days, we can go and check now and verify, well, that you're lying. The Wall Street giant sued Staley in March, saying he should be held liable for any financial damages it might have to pay from two lawsuits that alleged it enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. Now imagine just sit back in the cut for a minute and let that sink in. Not one bit of talk about criminal sanction, not one bit of talk about anyone going to prison. Once again, just another financial slap. Staley, who worked at the bank for more than 30 years asked a federal judge last month to dismiss the lawsuit, saying the bank
was using him as a public relation shield. In response, the bank this week alleged that Staley, new of Epstein's sex trafficking enterprise, and engaged in sexual activity with young women procured by Epstein, but acted to protect himself and Epstein who could have exposed Staley's misconduct court documents said. So they're going in all the way on Jess Staley, according to JP Morgan folks, everything was Jess Staley's fault. He's the only guy here who had anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein. And of course, he made every decision for the company as well according to this lawsuit. Now back to reality, we know that's not the case. We know that there are many channels that this sort of thing has to go through. We know that there's an auditing department. There's risk management and all of these different levers of security, all of these redundancies were bypassed. You mean to tell me that Jess Staley had that kind of
power? I mean, I guess it's possible. But if that's the case and you're a shareholder of JP Morgan, do you have any faith in Jamie Diamond at this point? Bro, you can't even control your underlings to not pal around with Jeffrey Epstein. Why do you think that you should run this whole ass company? Seems like a pretty straightforward question, right? Unfortunately, none of these goofballs in the legacy media will ever ask it. Staley persisted for years in protecting Epstein in the face of attempts by JPMC personnel to end the company's relationship with Epstein on reputational grounds, made misrepresentations in the process and continued to do so to the end of his JP Morgan tenure, the bank said in the court filing and Epstein victim has alleged that Staley sexually abused her while he was working at the bank court documents said. And look, I believe the accuser who is saying this, especially if the accuser is who I think it is.
If that's the case, the whole entire thing is about to fall in on the head of JP Morgan and Jess Staley, because this survivor was with Epstein all the time from the time she was 14. And if that's the case and it is who I think it is, she has all the keys to the kingdom. She knows everything. She knows all the people who are around. She knows all the people who are involved. And I'm sure she's found a very receptive audience to hear her stories when we're talking about the United States Virgin Islands and their legal team. JP Morgan Chase said this week that it did not know nor could it have reasonably known of the woman's allegations. Staley's attorneys did not immediately respond to her request for comment. Staley has called the accusations baseless but has expressed regret for his relationship with Epstein. Once again, he is not regretful that he had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He is regretful that he was caught. He is regretful that all of you out there are put in his
ass on blast on a regular basis. That's what he's worried about. That's what he regrets. Epstein was convicted of procuring a child for prostitution in 2008. He died by suicide in 2019 at a Manhattan Correctional Center where he was being held on federal sex trafficking charges. Allegedly died by suicide by the way. Has anyone seen any real concrete evidence telling us he died by suicide or are we just going by what the medical examiner and good old Bill Barr told us because I don't believe either of them. JP Morgan Chase was sued by the US Virgin Islands and the woman identified as Jane Doe One last year claiming it turned a blind eye towards Epstein's conduct. Well, so do the Virgin Islands, right? The USVI has some audacity here considering Epstein went down there, set up shop, gotten bed with local officials, started doling out a bunch of dough and committed all of these crimes down in your territory. Yet somehow you still come out smelling
like roses, meaning the Virgin Islands with a big fat bankroll and looking for more. Pretty amazing if you ask me. Internal emails and memos filed as exhibits this week reveal that the bank executives were concerned about the financial institution's relationship with Epstein dating to 2006. In October 2006, the bank's rapid response team issued a memo saying Epstein had banking, asset and credit accounts with balances that amounted to $32 million. The memo also said cash withdrawals were routinely made in sums of $40,000 to $80,000 multiple times a month, totaling over $750,000 a year to date. According to the document, no big deal there. I mean, it's not like he was structuring those transactions, right? Oh wait, he was. And here I was thinking, at least according to JP Morgan, that they had no idea what was going on when that is demonstrably provable to be a lie. The memo said that after internal discussions with
Jess Staley, Mary Erdos, Catherine Keating, John Duffy and Mary Casey, it was decided that we will keep Mr. Epstein solely as a bank incline and on a reactive client service basis. And that we will not proactively solicit new investment business from him. Another month later and borrow which JP Morgan Chase executive emailed Staley with the subject line, Epstein, please call me. In the email she said, she had concerns on risk management with his client. And we have a bad track record internally on risk, as you know, is Jeffrey going to stay involved here? How are we managing risk here? Please call borrow which said in an email in 2013 to bank directors emailed about the private bank risk unit, referring Epstein in 2008 to its anti-money laundering program because of excessive cash activity and media reports alleging his connection to sex trafficking. Epstein
was marked as high risk at the time. That's all they did though. You can mark on whatever you want, but you have to take action. They did not take action. Remember, that's what it comes down to. Another email exchange from 2011 indicates that the bank kept Epstein as a client due to Jess's personal relationship with them, even though other bank directors were not in favor of having retained them as a client. So they knew JP Morgan knew and they let Jess Staley do whatever he wanted. Remember, he was working for them at the time. So the buck stops at JP Morgan. One director in the same email correspondence reported having also looked into transactions of one of Epstein's assistants, which included lots of salon, lingerie shops, drug stores, in New York, Palm Beach, and in St. Thomas, his places of residence, plus lots of video-like girls gone wild. There is no doubt that not only Jess Staley knew exactly what and who,
Jeffrey Epstein was, and so did JP Morgan in Chase. So the whole back and forth between JP Morgan and Jess Staley is relatively laughable and hopefully the court comes down on both of them like a ton of bricks. All right folks, that's going to do it for this one. All of the information that goes with the episode can be found in the description box.
