History shows just how corrupt banks can be (consider the 2008 crash). Svetlana Lokhova reports on JPMorgan’s records, which give rise to numerous red flags. Finding Epstein fraud and criminality in these records would see to be straight-forward–shooting fish in a barrel–but investigations against Epstein rarely go anywhere. Real investigations would require investigators of the investigators, and investigators of THOSE investigators because no empowered entity seems untouched by Epstein’s fractal network. Even worse, today’s investigations of Epstein fail because he was an avatar for a vast tangled system of enabling politicians, billionaires and banks.
FinCEN database using [redacted]-possibly Epstein’s identifiers like name or accounts, and CTRs referencing Epstein’s Social Security Number (SSN). Results: 14 [redacted, likely SARs] (8 with attachments) and 89 CTRs.
Epstein’s JPMorgan accounts (held through entities like his Southern Trust Company) processed hundreds of millions in transactions, including payments to young women and co-conspirators. The records would help trace fund flows, identify enablers, and build cases.
The emails strongly indicate that there were suspicious transactions associated with Jeffrey Epstein’s accounts at JPMorgan Chase.
Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs): These are confidential filings that banks are legally required to submit to the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) when they detect transactions that may involve illegal activities, such as money laundering, fraud, or in Epstein’s case, potential links to sex trafficking.
