did a major united states bank knowingly negligently and unlawfully provided pull levers through which recruiters and victims were paid and was indispensable to the operation and concealment of the esteem trafficking enterprise. one island country had filed a lawsuit which says, so i'm going to use on this edition of 360 view. we're going to look at the latest charge against j. p. morgan chase bank. why the attorney general of the us virgin islands says the major bank should be held accountable for the monetary actions of jeffrey epstein. let's get started. ah well, it seems the drama and whether the power continues to spread. even after jeffrey, i've seen death 4 years ago. unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily mean justice or accountability for anyone who was involved

does as well. never in modern day have you found a story which involves some of the most powerful people in the world, sex illegal activities and a whole laundry list of international crimes. get very little convictions and the legal system actually happening. despite revelation, after revelation, there is still a huge cloud of mystery regarding the inner workings of the epstein sex trafficking organization and the specific individuals involved the latest to come to light is the accusation against one of the world's largest banks. j. p. morgan chase bank regarding the actual financing of attitudes, various business ventures. joining us now discuss is a journalist marlyn at injure, who has recently written about the virgin islands attorney general, who was fired for pursuing a litigation against jeffrey epstein. thank you so much for joining me. hey, thanks for having me. yeah. like you said around the new year attorney general of the years for going islands. nice. george was relieved from her duties as what the

statement from the governor said, but the picture seems to be that she was let go because of tensions about this lawsuit that her office had filed against morgan chase. right before the year ended on december 27. what's the thing that's the latest development of, from everything that's going on to this attorney general to her actually who just secured. i mean, she just secured a $105000000.00 settlement from jeffrey. i've seen the state being dismissed by the governor, governor over the investigation. you said that you think the dismissal of of denise and george by governor our brian junior, 4 days out to find a lawsuit against jp morgan chase. do you not think this could possibly be retaliation or something else involved? does it not? res burnett, large enough red flag to cause some sort of investigation. that's what woke of media has report. you know, right. when the story came out. publications like virgin island daily news and st thomas press. they said that there were these reports that there that he had been

unhappy with her filing the lawsuit that hadn't kept her updated, that she hadn't kept him updated on the fact that she was filing the case. and then a few days ago the new york times reported something similar. they said that it was not necessarily because that but just vague, you know that he had hate, she hadn't kept him apprised. and the only thing that she could have kept him apprised of, of course, was this lawsuit. and the other thing that the local press has reported is that he has been unhappy with how many resources she's been expending on pursuing the epstein enterprise. but she just, she also received a large summit from the previous case. it's not like she wasn't bringing money in to help cover her expenses. so now you will look at this case than she actually filed. what does the case actually alleged? j. p. morgan chase did in regards to the scene enterprises. the language they use is pretty unequivocal. they say j. p. morgan, unknowing, sorry, 15 organ, knowingly facilitated,

sustained and concealed human trafficking. that word operated by jeffrey ups in from his home and base in the virgin islands. and the way they said that, jamie morgan chase did. that was not just one way. first, it was allowing him to withdraw so much cash from his accounts. and this goes back to 2000 when his relationship with jp morgan chase began. you know, at the peak of his enterprise, he was withdrawing around $200000.00 worth of cash from his j. p. morgan chase accounts and banks have obligations to make sure their customers aren't engaged in criminal activity. and that's a classic marker of criminal activity. withdrawing that much money from your account. so that goes back as far as 2000. and the reason he was withdrawn all this money was to pay off his victims. you would pay these women or, and also these girls money after these sexual massages to make it look like it was a, you know, a consensual transaction. and this was just

a fig leaf over that. and then in 2006, he's arrested and prosecuted down in florida and sort of a sham prostitution that was covered up and really just the slap and the rest. but by 2006 j. p. morgan chase knew that he was engaged in criminal justice. they had to have known before. they could have thought about deniability though not really because they have all this information with these constant withdrawals by 2006. it was public knowledge and in 2008, you know, even make this points in the law. students that bernie made off, his ponzi scheme came down and he was using a j. p. morgan chase account. and so they ordered an internal review of other accounts to try to catch any other bad actors. they should have caught epstein is what this last it is around. they obviously should've. and the only way they couldn't know it was through turning a blind eye and actively facilitating its criminal enterprise. i mean, a bank realizes that if you've ever drawn your debit card by charge, 50 cent,

you would think they would recognize if there was something that could be to be done to far is that the funds that are being pulled out. but i have to focus on the fact that jeffrey, absence in 3 years since he's his death and several decades. and he was 1st wrecked, as you mentioned, why are we just now hearing of j. p. morgan chase? actually a lawsuit being filed against him for this. i mean, does it take the us virgin islands are their attorney general's from various states who are also involved? who could have done this over the last 20 years? yeah, i mean, that's a good question. i guess the answer is yes, they could have and the law suit comes on the heels of another walked attorneys in the southern district and the face of what a bit of pressure before people. and that's what has happened. i'll the suit in the southern district gives you need so this case isn't gun or that even though denise george has been and been fired and still on the docket. and we will proceed before the judge louis caplin. we have any idea of the new attorney general that the governor points is going to continue to pursue this case or what i have known that

particularly. but the assistant attorney general has the current serving attorney general. she was on the lawsuit that denise george fire, her name is on it and was filed under the name of the office. she was involved in the figure. how can you read since she had put already probably put more hours into it with work and understand the case. but you brought something up earlier that kind of has me scratching my head about how a bank does have to make sure that its customers are not doing things with the money that they the legal things with the money that they have. so is there a legal principle or does a bank have this ethical right to refuse customers or ask these questions regarding where the money is coming from? and should they be held liable for the crimes their clients are committing? in this case, it looks like they can prove that he, they didn't know this was happening and they still did nothing about it after his 1st conviction. yeah, it's not just an ethical right. of course, banks are subject to numerous regulation. if there's a lock on the know your customer. busy law,

they have to know where this money is coming from. there's the trafficking victims protection act which 2006 is these lawyers argue they had to have no, and they were facilitating a traffic enterprise. so those are 2 laws are there. and in addition, just staley, who is the guy at j. p. morgan chase, who brought everything on this the, the central edge that he was pursuing this relationship. but such an interest with epstein because asked him was bringing millions and millions of dollars into the bank. and so that would, you know, it's also against a lot of traffic to prost from a trafficking enterprise. these are some of that was the chief morgan, jason being alleged as committed even after epstein was arrested. and actually j. p. morgan chase his board according to this last it had a meeting, whether not to drop jeffrey, i've seen as a client and 2 people going to the saw suit, mary air. those who is now in charge of i believe the private banking services. and

we're going to, she, her department handles accounts for the 4 trillion dollars jeep. so her merrier those and just daily argued strong in favor of keeping up seem not only because of the money that he brought in through keeping his money in their accounts. but because he was bringing clients into jp morgan chase for him, glen duban, one hybrid capital. and he brought glen duban and they did a deal with j. p. morgan chase, which earned him or just millions of dollars to jeffrey. i've seen, people may know, maybe they don't got a lot of money from a guy named leslie wexler who was of the brand that tore a secret. right. he was a 1000000000 and he kept his money in j. p. morgan, james accounts. and they say here, just staley knew epstein if they did anything to get rid of epstein masters mind would have been gone. epstein money would have been gone, gone to one's when he would have been gone. so they profited huge from it. again,

you can't process from it, you know, any idea that this lawsuit is going to help us be able to shed some light, bring any more transparency to the fight. who jeffrey, i've seen was in partnerships with who we had bank dealings with. whose checks did he deposit? who did he write checks to? is it also going to force them to open the books from his account? yeah, well in the us for tonight. oh, that's part of the reason why. pardon me, that's not divergence. it is the class action suit, they went to that part of the reason why epstein was allowed to do this was because it's not just the financial benefits, the crew to them, but other benefits including forced sexual service. and they also edge an unnamed financial executive abused one of the women in this class action. she has one jane doe number one who represents the class. when they say was

a ballet dancer and united in new york when she met epstein. and that she was sent to nap seems friends who were told that they could do anything they wanted with her . and there's an unnamed financial executive in the language there. still they don't say who it is or by what financial institution was involved with. but you know, some that could come out and and the virgin islands soon. they also mentioned the eastern development commission, which was this part of me not the is in development mission, the economic development commission, which was this office and the u. s. virgin islands, which essentially provided tax breaks wow to epstein and the economic development commission gave up seen a tax break or a company at snuggled southern trust. in 2014 a got a tax break of 90 percent on their income tax. almost a 100 percent, an excise tax custom sax. the number is unclear, but it's around

a $100000000.00 worth of tax breaks. marla marlott, i hate to stop here. written there is so much dive into here. hold on with us and let's let gate take a quick break, but i want to come back and either to some of those other specifics that you have is that work for you? sure, thank you so much. we'll be right back. because when we come back, we're going to continue to have more with marlin ettinger and the very latest on the continuing promise running, jeffrey, i've seen, you're not going to want to miss it. ah huh. franchiser him across visit to china? has the atlantis is world and neo cons of all stripes in an uproar, instead of being a mere cutaway in service of washington,

the french president actually stood up for his own country. and europe put his micron above shore in a day late ah oh, welcome back, i'm sky now here's and we're going to continue our discussion with marlene ettinger, a journalist who has recently read about the attorney general in the virgin islands, who was actually fired for pursuing litigation against jeffrey epstein by the

islands governor, thank you so much for sticking with us. you know, do you think it's like when you mentioned specifically before the break, a few other i name sources, but do you think it's very likely could zoom out of money involved other banks who should also be named and possibly could be pursued at lawsuits down the road yeah, well jeffrey up scenes relationship with jp morgan chase ended in 2013. it finally became too much for them to continue reputation. i. i and she then moved on to deutsche bank, which with a banker who had been at jp morgan chase. so the relationship was that was very close now. and, you know, deutsche bank has amputation for traffic. ah, go ahead quite change. every country have to be tied to the dollar for trade. why can we trade in our own that it calls for ditching the dollar and using national currencies? fado our g 7 economies piece but not like this,

and american states funded think tank bridges. i thought of your ravia restores prize with.
