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 PB 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 William 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¶

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 meeting 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¶
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 account. She was involved In some of the detailed escapades. She opened accounts in PB sponsered by him. my were her debit transactions enlighting as compared to countless stories related to his escapades. Lots of salon, lingerie shops, drug stores ny palm beach and in st ( his places of residence). Plus lots of video like girls gone and some other shops not fit for my good catholic upbringing! The transactions are old OS to 08. Besides 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 DOJ 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 Jes to explain HT and then Jes could decide the next steps.¶
Typed on my bb so sorry for typos. I do have a PB rapid response memo I can forward as well.¶
