SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 18 – J.P. Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank were sued for their enabling of Jeffrey Epstein, in lawsuits filed on Thanksgiving in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Inner City Press found them in the docket.
The separate lawsuits allege that "without exorbitantly large amounts of cash, Epstein's operations could not run, as newly recruited victims were each paid hundreds of dollars in cash immediately after Epstein sexually abused them, as hush money."
The JPM Chase complaint is on Patreon, here.
On March 20, 2023 Judge Jed S. Rakoff in a bottom line order dismissed some but not all claims, in the Epstein-related cases against JPMC and Deutsche Bank.
Inner City Press put the order on its DocumentCloud here.
On April 18, after a telephone conference without transcription, Judge Rakoff ordered: " proceedings held before Judge Jed S. Rakoff: Telephone Conference held on 4/18/2023, without transcription or recording. Counsel for Jane Doe, the Government of the United States Virgin Islands, JP Morgan, and Jes Staley were present. Jamie Dimon should be set aside two days for his deposition. On the first day, plaintiffs will have the opportunity to depose Mr. Dimon for a combined total of five hours. Mr. Staley will have the opportunity to depose Mr. Dimon for two hours.
“If, at the end of the first day, any party believes that it needs more time to depose Mr. Dimon, it must convene a joint call to Chambers by no later than 5:00 PM to explain why. The Court will then rule as to whether Mr. Dimons deposition should continue for a second day and, if so, for how long." Will that call be open to the press and public?
