As banks de-platform conservatives like Mike Lindell in what seems like a snap decision, remember that it allegedly took JP Morgan 7 years after finding out about his sick taste for children to drop him as a client.
That allegation comes from the Financial Times, which reported that JP Morgan was aware by 2006 that Epstein had been accused of paying cash for young girls to be brought to his home, but then waited seven long years to drop him as a client. In fact, they even decided that Epstein “should go” in 2010, but then took three long years to actually drop him.
The allegation that it took seven years for the bank to drop Epstein after it knew what he was up to came from Mary Erdoes, who is now the head of asset management at JP Morgan. She said under oath in a recent deposition that JPMorgan knew about the accusations by 2006, the year he was arrested for soliciting a minor for prostitution in Florida.
Those allegations come as a result of a lawsuit brought by the US Virgin Islands against JP Morgan. In the lawsuits, the Virgin Islands is alleging that JP Morgan profited from human trafficking by maintaining Epstein as a client even after he was arrested for soliciting a minor for prostitution. JP Morgan has referred to the claim as “meritless.” The US Virgin Islands officials are seeking damages from the bank.
Next month, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon is scheduled to testify under oath about his knowledge of the bank’s decision to continue doing business with Jeffrey Epstein as a client despite knowing about his sick perversions. Dimon has so far claimed he had no involvement in examining Epstein’s account and a source told the Financial Times that there was no direct connection between Epstein and Dimon.
But that’s far from the end of the bank’s Epstein-related woes. In addition to the recent revelation that it took the bank 7 years to drop the pedophile financier as a client, it recently came out that JP Morgan executives joked about his sexual interest in young girls.
The Daily Wire, adding a few more background details on the subject, noted that:

The new complaints against the financial institutions come after managers of the Epstein estate agreed to settle a lawsuit with the U.S. Virgin Islands at the end of last year over enforcement actions related to the territory’s laws against fraud, sex trafficking, and child exploitation.
The estate agreed to pay $105 million and half of the proceeds earned from selling the island of Little St. James, which has acquired nicknames such as “Pedophile Island,” and $450,000 to remediate environmental damage around Great St. James, another island owned by Epstein.
And, of course, most Americans know that Jeffrey Epstein died under suspicious circumstances while in his jail cell after being arrested again in 2019. At the time, Bill Barr was the AG and Bill Barr’s dad was the headmaster at the school that hired Epstein for his first job around kids, a teaching job at the Dalton School for which he was woefully uncredentialed and at which his sick behavior was noticed.
