Apparently, money doesn’t buy everything after all.
When you live like I do, stretching one check to another, hoping to have enough nickels left for the bread and butter, it’s hard to imagine a world where cost is never a barrier.
However, that’s the world Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates (among others) live in. These men have so much money that they don’t just buys cars and boats and weekend houses; they buy people. It’s like the 1993 blockbuster, Indecent Proposal. Remember- that’s the movie where Robert Redford pays a million dollars to spend one night with Demi Moore, who portrays the wife of Woody Harrelson.
Sure, the money was nice for one sweaty session of rolling around on the sheets, but after that it morphed into an infection rotting their souls. Still, I think most of us sometimes fantasize about a life in which it’s easy to buy whatever your heart desires. Unfortunately, some hearts desire to victimize others in the most disgusting ways. And they get away with it because their pockets are so deep.
If you watch enough American Greed or true crime TV, you know those kinds soul-rotting infections are rarely curable. Thus, it’s refreshing when a breaking story paints of picture of someone who’s morals aren’t for sale, especially when they have the guts
Fox Business explains:
Jeffrey Epstein paid more than 20 sex trafficking victims from JPMorgan accounts, as the bank’s top executives repeatedly flagged troubling abuse allegations against him, according to a new report.
The U.S. Virgin Islands government sued JPMorgan Chase alleging the bank was complicit in Epstein’s sex crimes.
The Virgin Islands government on Wednesday unsealed sections of the federal lawsuit that had previously been redacted, Law & Crime reported.
“These women were trafficked and abused during different intervals between at least 2003 and July 2019, when Epstein was arrested and jailed, and these women received payments, typically multiple payments, between 2003 and 2013 in excess of $1 million collectively,” according to the unsealed passages.
“Epstein also withdrew more than $775,000 in cash over that time frame from JPMorgan accounts, especially significant as Epstein was known to pay for ‘massages,’ or sexual encounters, in cash,” the complaint says.
It’s too bad Epstein “killed himself” in his prison cell before trial.
Such an exit cheated his many victims of their day in court.
Many of his victims were abused on his sprawling compound on Little Saint James, his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
JPMorgan has tried to dismiss the lawsuit, pointing out that the Virgin Islands government has already settled with Epstein’s estate for more than $100 million.
The unsealed portions of the lawsuit allegedly show that bank executives repeatedly noted troubling reports about their client.
In an email, an executive allegedly referenced “several newspaper articles… that detail the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein in Florida on felony charges of soliciting underage prostitutes,” according to the suit.
Epstein was convicted in Florida in 2008 of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute as part of a plea deal that let him serve just 13 months in custody — most of it on work release in his Palm Beach office.

In 2010, JPMorgan’s risk management division highlighted new abuse accusations against Epstein in an email.
“See below new allegations of an investigation related to child trafficking — are you still comfortable with this client who is now a registered sex offender,” the email states.
In other words, at least someone didn’t want to have dirty money raised and spent at the hands of criminal sexual abuse of not only women, but children. That money is cursed! But I digress.
The court papers also reveal Epstein’s relationship with JPMorgan’s then-senior executive Jes Staley, who resigned over his connections to the pedophile.
“Between 2008 and 2012, Staley exchanged approximately 1,200 emails with Epstein from his JPMorgan email account,” the lawsuit alleges. “These communications show a close personal relationship and ‘profound’ friendship between the two men and even suggest that Staley may have been involved in Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation.”
Staley allegedly sent Epstein an email on Nov. 1, 2009, from the late financier’s private island.
“Presently, I’m in the hot tub with a glass of white wine,” Staley allegedly wrote. “This is an amazing place. Truly amazing. Next time, we’re here together. I owe you much. And I deeply appreciate our friendship. I have few so profound.”
It gets worse. This guy is a Democrat bank-roller.
According to another article I read, Staley “donated tens of thousands of dollars to President Biden, Hillary Clinton, and the Democratic National Committee.”
Staley donated a total of $20,000 to Biden’s joint fundraising committee with the Democratic National Committee and his presidential campaign less than a month before the 2020 election win against former President Donald Trump. At the same time, Staley separately donated another $14,400 to the DNC, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
…
From 2015 to 2019, Staley donated a total of $5,900 to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s reelection campaign, as well as her failed 2020 presidential campaign. He also hosted a fundraiser at his home for Gillibrand in 2010 and attended a fundraiser for her in London in 2016.

…
Let’s just call Epstein a George Soros enthusiast, and Staley their little puppet.
JPMorgan not only knew about Epstein but his alleged recruiter, French modeling scout Jean-Luc Brunel, the owner of the MC2 Modeling Company.
Brunel killed himself in a French prison last year while awaiting trial on allegations he secured girls and women for Epstein.
“Financial information also reflects payments drawn from JPMorgan accounts of nearly $1.5 million to known recruiters, including to the MC2 modeling agency, and another $150,000 to a private investigative firm,” the suit says, according to Law & Crime.
It’s amazing that three years after Epstein’s death, we’re still uncovering more facts. Soon, another big name drop will expose more of his fellow pedos. Meanwhile, poor ‘sweet’ Ghislaine sits in a cell, hoping someone will take pity on her and realize she really is a good person at heart. Even if she’s never done a good deed in her life.
