JPMorgan Alerted U.S. to Epstein Transfers Involving Wall St. Figures

Weeks after Jeffrey Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 awaiting prosecution on sex-trafficking charges, JPMorgan Chase filed a report alerting the US government to tens of millions of dollars of potentially suspicious transactions involving him and prominent Wall Street and business figures.

The so-called suspicious activity report that JPMorgan filed identified transactions with Leon Black, the co-founder of private equity firm Apollo Global Management; Glenn Dubin, a well-known hedge fund manager; lawyer Alan Dershowitz; and trusts controlled by Leslie Wexner, the retail tycoon.

The nature of the transactions, as well as Epstein’s role in them, is unclear.

JPMorgan said in its report that it was flagging about 4,700 transactions, totaling more than $1 billion, because they were potentially related to reports of human trafficking involving Epstein. It also mentioned Epstein’s wire transfers to Russian banks and sensitivities around “his relationships with two U.S. presidents.” Epstein at times was close with President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton.

None of the men mentioned in the report have been charged with crimes in connection to Epstein. (Read more from “JPMorgan Alerted U.S. to Epstein Transfers Involving Wall St. Figures” HERE)
