Nina,¶
welcome! Sorry to start your day off with a crazy matter but I’m sure when you discuss this with william he’ll provide some color around this matter. This fits into the never a dull moment category.¶
Please see below. I can also fill you in with additional details when we speak. In essence:¶
JPMC maintains the Private Banking (PB) relationship for this individual, Jeffrey Epstein.¶
• He is alleged to be involved in the human trafficking of young girls and law enforcement is also allegedly investigating his involvement in this activity.¶
He is also an alleged personal associate of the CEO of the Investment Bank (Jes Staley)¶
• AML Operations went to a PB risk meeting late last week requesting that we exit this relationship.¶
• The CEO of PS US (Catherine Keating) and PB General counsel (Anne verdon) suggest that william and PB management meet with Jes staley to review our recent HT initiative with him.¶
I’m copying Milian as we have discussed this individual in the past and you may not have email set up yet. Maryanne Ryan’s email below discusses the request as well as additional detail related to Epstein.¶
Please let me know when you have a few moments to discuss.¶
Thanks,¶
Phil¶

Phil-¶
This email is a summary of the Rapid Response meeting regarding Jeffrey Epstein. It involves an ask of william so I am sending to you first.¶
The RR sing attended by Catherine Keating, Ann verdon, the current and former banker, Kevin, Jim and Bonnie from Risk and Art and I.¶
Jeffrey Epstein is a friend of Jes S and Catherine feels that PB along with William should meet with him to explain the HT project and explain the banks recognition on the project and whether Epstein if further exposed could have a potential serious impact.¶
Epstein was released in July from house arrest and the Palm Beach Post carried two articles saying DOJ may be investigating for child trafficking via a modeling agency he is part owner in. I think Catherine believes that after the briefing on HT that Jes would need to point blank ask Jeffrey the status of any criminal investigations. Catherine made sure we knew that no one on today’s call was in favor of having retained him as a client. seems it all is due to Jes’s personal relationship. Note he has about 212 mil in the bank and some in 3PMs (old Bear Pcs)¶
I asked legal and asked on the call about if we were ever subpoened and seems it is NO which I find very interersting as Bear was. I also spent a good deal of time looking at his assistant or young lady he brought over from Prague( or some place like that) acco . She was involved in some of the detailed escapades. she opened accounts in PS sponsered by him. my were her debit transactions enlighting as¶
or compared to countless es related to his escapades. Lots of salon, lingerie shops, drug res fly palm beach and in st ( his places of residence). Plus lots of video like girls gone and some other shops not fit my good catholic upbringing! The transactions are old 05 to 08. Besi es frequent frequent spa like charges it has died down . surprised she was never subpoened.¶
The one new concerning thing is the one article about the 003 investigation is saying they brought under age girls to the us via a modeling agency m2 that is owned by a guy named Brunel. Turns out the banker said today we extended Epstein a loan in relation to this modeling agency. It appears to be a legit modeling agency. If girls were expolited via their contract or arrangement it would be hard for us to tell.¶
Bottom line we need W to meet with 3es to explain NT and then les could decide the next steps.¶
Typed on my bb so sorry for typos. I do have a P8 rapid response memo I can forward as well.¶

Epstein Faces Sex-Traffic Probe¶
by Conckim Sarnoff 0¶
The Justice Department is investigating Jeffrey Epstein for child trafficking, The Daily Beast has learned—and has widened the scope of its probe to include a famous modeling agency.¶
Hedge-fund manager Jeffrey Epstein completed his seMent for soliciting prostitution with a minor Last week. But it appears his problems may not be over. Now The Daisy Beast has learned that¶
- Federal investigators continue to Investigate Epstein’s acdvittes, to see whether there is evidence of child trafficking—a far more serious charge than the two in his non-prosecution agreement, the arrangement between Epstein and the Department of Justice allowing him to plead guilty to lowerlevel state crimes. Trafficking can carry a 20-year sentence. NIONCeltl
- The FBI is also investigating Epstein’s friend Jean Luc Brunel, whose MC2 modeling agency appears to have been a source of girls from overseas who ended up on Epstein’s private Jets.
N$I annusc.PN.InIsitHoUnsun,¶
Because Epstein’s predatory habits stretch back many years and involved dozens of young-looking girls, there may well be more evidence to uncover.¶
Under the concept of double Soper*, Epstein can no longer be prosecuted for any of the charges Covered by his non-prosecution agreement, in which he agreed to serve {sup}a short term of incarceration, fund the civil suits of named victims, and register as a sex offender. The victims who accepted cash settlements in these civil suits agreed not to testify against him or speak publicly about the case. However, new evidence developer by the Department of Justice on other offenses not covered by the agreement. including allegations by additional victims who come forward, could lead to new¶
charges. There is no statute of limitations in the federal sex-trafficking law. which was also enacted by the state of Florida in 2002. Because his predatory habits stretch back many years and involved dozens of young-looking girls, there may well be more evidence to uncover. (Several young women who claim to be Epstein victims have recently contacted a Ft. Lauderdale lawyer, but to date no new civil complaints have been filed.)¶
• : 1k¶
Billionaire Pedp_bile’s So, • Billionaire Pedj_while Goes Free These new developments come cne week after the publication of two articles In The Daily Beast about Epstein’s pattern of sexual contact with underage girls, which Palm Beach police began investigating in 2005 and the U.S. Attorney’s office then settled in a 2007 plea deal. The first ertio; quoted a deposition by then-Palm Beach Chief of Police Michael Reiter, in which he stated that Epstein. a billionaire with many powerful friends, had received special treatment in both his plea deal and the terms of his incarceration. Although federal investigators at one point produced a draft 53-page indictment against Epstein, he was eventually allowed to plead guilty to only two relatively minor state charges and receive a short term of incarceration: 13 months in the county jail, during which he went to the office every day, and one year of community control, during which he traveled frequently to New York and his private island in the Virgin Islands.¶
PM¶
The Daily Beast has now discovered another instance in which Epstein apparently received special consideration: As a convicted sex offender. he is required by law to undergo an impartial psychological evaluation prior to sentencing and to receive psychiatric treatment during and after incarceration. This is because child molesters tend to be repeat offenders with high rates of recidivism. According to a source in taw enforcement, however, Epstein was allowed to submit a report by his private psychologist, Dr. Stephen Alexander of Palm Beach, Florida, whose phone has since been disconnected with no forwarding Information.¶
The Daly Beast’s second article provided details about Epstein’s systematic abuse of underage girls at his Palm Beach mansion, where members of his staff allegedly recruited and paid a parade of teenagers, most of them 16 or younger, to perform deity massages that devolved Into masturbation, groping, and sometimes full-blown sexual contact. It also revealed a monetary relationship between Epstein and Jean Luc Brunel a frequent visitor to whom he gave Si million around the same time that Brunel was starting his MC2 modeling agency. Some of the young girls MC2 recruited from overseas—often from Eastern Europe and South America—are known to have been passengers on Epstein’s private jets.¶
The U.S. Attorney General’s Office in Florida says that it is against policy to confimi or deny the existence of an investigation. Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer. Jack Goldberger. says he has no knowledge of an ongoing probe, and he told The Daily Beast, “Jeffrey Epstein has fully complied with of state and federal requirements that arise from the. prior proceedings in Palm Beach. There are no pending civil lawsuits. There are not and should not be any pending criminal investigations. given Mr. Epstein’s complete fulfillment of all the terms of his non-prosecution agreement with the federal government.”¶

EPSTEIN PLEADS GUILTY, GIVEN 18 MONTHS IN JAIL¶

Jeffrey Epstein (mug)¶
Taken into custody.¶
Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty Monday in Palm Beach Circuit Court to felony charges that he solicited underage girls for prostitution.¶
Judge Deborah Dale Dual° sentenced Epstein, 55, to 18 months at the Palm Beach County Jail, followed by 12 months of house arrest, during which he will be confined to his home on El Brillo Way and permitted to leave only for work or community service.¶
Epstein was taken directly into custody.¶
He was sentenced to 12 months in jail for solicitation of a prostitute and six months for procuring a person under age 18 for prostitution.¶
That will be followed by 12 months of house arrest, during which time he will be allowed no unsupervised contact with minors and no access to pornographic materials.¶
The State Attorneys Office would not say how many victims there were in the case, but the Incidents occurred in 2004 and 2005.¶
In court Monday, Epstein wore a blue blazer, tennis shoes and blue jeans, and was accomaid by at least two attorneys, West Palm Beach lawyer Jack A. Goldberger and Miami attorney Guy¶
Epstein responded politely when asked by the Judge if he had read and fully understood the terms of his plea agreement.¶
As a condition of the agreement, Epstein will be registered as a sex offender for the rest of his life. But he will not be required to undergo treatment for his condition. His lawyer said Epstein has been seeing a psychiatrist.¶
After he leaves jail, Epstein will not be required to wear an electronic monitor, but will have to keep a daily log of his activities and maintain weekly contact with a probation officer. He will be allowed to leave his home for up to a half-hour while traveling to and from work or community service.¶
Goldberger would not comment on the case. But Epstein’s spokesman, Howard J. Rubenstein, said in a statement that Epstein has now resolved the criminal case.¶
“Mr. Epstein accepted responsibility for the charges, relating to conduct that occurred several years ago,” Rubenstein said.¶
A Manhattan Investment banker, Epstein was scheduled to go to trial in July after being indicted in July 2006 on a felony charge of soliciting prostitution.¶
The indictment followed an 11-month Investigation by Palm Beach Police, who said Epstein paid five underage girls for massages and sometimes sex at his El Who Way home.¶
Police turned the case over to State Attorney Barry Krischers office with a probable cause affidavit that said Epstein should be arrested on four counts of unlawful sex acts with a minor and one count of lewd and lascivious molestation, all second-degree felonies.¶
But rather than arresting Epstein on those charges, Rrischer’s office took the case before a grand jury, which Indicted him on one count of solicitation of prostitution, a third-degree felony.¶
Reiter, reportedly Infuriated, called Krischer’s treatment of the case “highly unusual,” and requested and received an FBI investigation to determine whether any laws were broken.¶
Reiter would not comment for this story and has refused all media requests for comment on the plea agreement.¶
Epstein also faces five lawsuits in federal and state courts from women who claim that he sexually assaulted them when they were younger than 18. The lawsuits claim Epstein procured the underage girls, through a Palm Beach Community College student, to come to his El Brillo Way home and give him • massages.¶
=. who is representing him In the civil cases, has said the lawsuits are without merit and that the alleged victims lied about their ages.¶
Epstein was cuffed, fingerprinted and taken to jail. He will fulfill a 12-month community service requirement at his own nonprofit Florida science foundation.¶

Jeffrey Epstein¶
Two years after a grand jury Indicted him on a felony charge of solicitation of prostitution, Jeffrey Epstein finally admitted that he lured a teenage girl to his $8.5 million, 13,000-square-foot Palm Beach mansion for sex. A week ago, the 55-year-old investment banker began serving 18 months in jail.¶
But that plea deal — guilty of felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution — does not account for all five of the girls, one as young as 14, who alleged that Epstein sexually abused them. And why is Epstein serving his term in the overcrowded Palm Beach County Jail and not a state prison, where inmates are sent if their sentences are longer than one year?¶
The slow, dissatisfying resolution of the case sends a message to the public that there’s a different system of justice for the wealthy who hire high-powered lawyers. Eps-teln’s legal team Included West Palm Beach defense attorney Jack Goldberger, Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz, who defended O.J. Simpson against murder charges, and Kenneth Starr, the prosecutor who pursued then-President Bill Clinton for lying about sex with young women.¶
Palm Beach police spent 11 months Investigating Epstein before State Attorney Barry Krischer sent the case to a grand jury, instead of charging Epstein so the man who once boasted of accepting only billionaire clients could face a trial. The police had taken a high school transcript, class schedules and phone messages from Epstein’s home that showed he knew the girls were underage. Yet Mr. Krischer was more swayed by Epstein’s lawyers, who attempted to Impugn the girls’ character by showing they had chatted on myspace.com about smoking marijuana and drinking. He should have let a jury decide whether the victims — and Epstein — were credible.¶
Ultimately, one charge against Epstein finally reflected the age of one victim, and the plea agreement left Epstein labeled a sex offender. With that additional charge, if Epstein had been convicted at a trial, he could have been sentenced to anything from probation to 15 years in prison, Assistant State Attorney Lanna Belohlavek said, adding that the recommended guideline sentence was 21 months.¶
Epstein also won’t have to certify to the court that he is receiving counseling, typically required of sex offenders, because he has a private psychiatrist. But without court supervision, who will ensure Epstein Is in fact being treated?¶
The plea deal also drops a federal investigation of Epstein. If a federal investigation was warranted, how does dropping it before completion benefit the public?¶
Epstein preyed on girls and denied it. For three years, his wealth and the Influence of his lawyers bought him the protection the state attorney owed to the victims.¶

Recent Excerpts from press¶
- The Palm Beach Post 8/1/10 Epstein may be under new sex crime scrutiny from feds
Authorities may not be done with billionaire sexual deviant Jeffrey Epstein after all.¶
Epstein, 57, who recently fulfilled all the requirements of his slap-on-the-wrist sentence may be under investigation for other sex crimes, including child trafficking. And this time, Epstein would be facing the federales — and 20 years in prison!¶
According to the news website The Daily Beast, the feds are also checking whether a modeling agency run by a friend of the Wall Street investor Epstein fed his appetite for underage foreign girls. Epstein was known to fly young women from Eastern Europe to Palm Beach, where they’d massage him, among other services.¶
Because of double jeopardy rules, Epstein — now a registered Florida sex offender — can never be prosecuted again for crimes covered by the state charges. He pleaded guilty to felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring a person under 18 for prostitution, also a felony. Child trafficking, however, would offer two advantages to federal prosecutors: The charge would not be covered by double jeopardy; and there’s no statute of limitations¶
