Elon Musk Subpoenaed, Jamie Dimon to Be Deposed in Jeffrey Epstein/JPMorgan Chase Lawsuit

Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Twitter, has been subpoenaed by prosecutors from the U.S. Virgin Islands in a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, the bank of notorious pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. As The New American reported earlier (here and here), the lawsuit charges that “JP Morgan knowingly, negligently, and unlawfully provided and pulled the levers through which recruiters and victims were paid and was indispensable to the operation and concealment of the Epstein trafficking enterprise.”

According to the Virgin Islands complaint, “JP Morgan’s banking relationship with Epstein was known at the highest levels of the bank.” It includes an internal auditing email suggesting that the criminal record associated with Epstein meant the accounts would have to be reviewed by CEO Jamie Dimon himself. The lawsuit details internal emails at the bank showing that some of the bank’s employees were clearly troubled by the institution’s ties to Epstein, and tried to flag them for action by the bank’s executives.

What is Elon Musk’s connection to all of this? That remains something of a mystery at this point, since neither previous court cases nor the voluminous reporting on Epstein have turned up obvious links between Musk and Epstein or Musk and JPMorgan. The Virgin Islands government does not charge Musk with any wrongdoing.

What does Musk say about this latest wrinkle in the Epstein case? The voluble tech titan was not without words, calling the subpoena idiotic and absurd. In a May 15 tweet, Musk stated: “This is idiotic on so many levels: 1. That cretin never advised me on anything whatsoever. 2. The notion that I would need or listen to financial advice from a dumb crook is absurd. 3. JPM let Tesla down ten years ago, despite having Tesla’s global commercial banking business, which we then withdrew. I have never forgiven them.”

A 2019 story in Vanity Fair by Gabriel Sherman posits a tenuous (and possibly fictitious) connection between Musk and Epstein at a dinner for tech titans in California. Sherman wrote:

Epstein remained a fixture in elite circles even after he was a registered sex offender. A few years ago, for example, he was a guest at a dinner in Palo Alto hosted by LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman for the MIT neuroscientist Ed Boyden. At the dinner, Elon Musk introduced Epstein to Mark Zuckerberg. (“Mark met Epstein in passing one time at a dinner honoring scientists that was not organized by Epstein,” Zuckerberg spokesman Ben LaBolt told me. “Mark did not communicate with Epstein again following the dinner.”)

In an email, Elon Musk responded: “I don’t recall introducing Epstein to anyone, as I don’t know the guy well enough to do so, Epstein is obviously a creep and Zuckerberg is not a friend of mine. Several years ago, I was at his house in Manhattan for about 30 minutes in the middle of the afternoon with Talulah [Musk’s wife], as she was curious about meeting this strange person for a novel she was writing. We did not see anything inappropriate at all, apart from weird art. He tried repeatedly to get me to visit his island. I declined.” A Musk spokesperson also emailed: “Elon never introduced Jeffrey Epstein to Mark Zuckerberg and does not know either person well enough to do so. They simply happened to be guests at a neuroscience dinner organized by Reid Hoffman.”

Epstein died suddenly in his New York jail cell while awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking. Despite a series of suspicious circumstances, including violations of jail protocols and the mysterious malfunctioning of jail cameras, his death was officially labeled a suicide.

Command to Produce Documents

The Virgin Islands subpoena commands Musk to produce documents and allow an “inspection of premises,” stating:

Production: YOU ARE COMMANDED to produce at the time, date, and place set forth below the following documents, electronically stored information, or objects, and to permit inspection, copying, testing, or sampling of the material: See attached Exhibit A.

Inspection of Premises: YOU ARE COMMANDED to permit entry onto the designated premises, land, or other property possessed or controlled by you at the time, date, and location set forth below, so that the requesting party may inspect, measure, survey, photograph, test, or sample the property or any designated object or operation on it.

What documents are the prosecutors seeking? According to the subpoena:

1. All Documents reflecting or regarding Communications between You and JPMorgan regarding Epstein or Epstein’s role with respect to Your accounts, transactions, or financial management.

2. All Documents reflecting or regarding Communications between You and Epstein regarding JPMorgan and/or Your accounts, transactions, or relationship at JPMorgan.

3. All Documents concerning Communications or meetings between You, Epstein, and/or JPMorgan regarding Your accounts, transactions, or relationship at JPMorgan.

4. All Documents reflecting or regarding fees You paid to Epstein and/or JPMorgan in connection with Your accounts, transactions, or relationship at JPMorgan.

5. All Documents reflecting or regarding Epstein’s involvement in human trafficking and/or his procurement of girls or women for commercial sex.

Jamie Dimon Deposition Set for May 26-27

In April, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan ordered JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon to set aside two days for depositions concerning the bank’s relationship with Epstein. He is scheduled to be deposed on May 26 and 27. The trial is scheduled for October 23.

While the Musk-Epstein ties, as we’ve already noted, appear very weak, that is not the case with Dimon and JPMorgan Chase. “Over more than a decade,” the Virgin Islands complaint charges, “JP Morgan clearly knew it was not complying with federal regulations in regard to Epstein-related accounts as evidenced by its too-little too-late efforts after Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges and shortly after his death, when JP Morgan belatedly complied with federal law. The continued illegal conduct by JP Morgan has caused repeated and continuous injury. JP Morgan’s illegal conduct was not completed nor were all damages incurred until the wrongdoing ceased in August 2019 when JP Morgan began belatedly complying with federal banking regulations in regard to Epstein-related accounts.”

The Virgin Islands prosecutors have already deposed Mary Erdoes, CEO of JPMorgan Asset & Wealth Management, a division of JPMorgan Chase (JPMC). According to a court filing by the prosecutors, Erdoes “admitted in her deposition that JPMorgan was aware by 2006 that Epstein was accused of paying cash to have underage girls and young women brought to his home.”

Epstein and the JPMC Crime Machine

Jeffrey Epstein the sex predator was also a social predator, cultivating contacts among the rich and famous to bolster his image as a mysterious bon vivant, philanthropist, and financial advisor. His modus operandi was to attend or throw lavish soirees and have himself photographed with billionaires, celebrities, and political figures to give the impression that he was not only super-rich, but also ultra-connected.

Many individuals who were photographed with him or attended one of his parties had no real relationship with him. That is not the case with JPMorgan Chase, however, where Dimon, Jess Staley, and other JPMC execs made millions from Epstein’s heinous and illegal “business” ventures. As we have previously reported, Epstein was a member (and Dimon and Staley still are members) of the globalist Council of Foreign Relations (CFR), the leading Deep State organization promoting world government and the destruction of national sovereignty. JPMC is also a corporate member of the CFR. In addition, Epstein, Dimon, and Staley shared elite status as regulars at the World Economic Forum, and Epstein could boast ultra-elite status as a member of David Rockefeller’s very exclusive Trilateral Commission, where several top JPMC execs are also members.

But the real key to Epstein’s “charmed” life and the reason he was able to operate freely for so long is his ties to the Robert Maxwell family and the Deep State intelligence community. Epstein was boosted and protected by the Deep State — until he became a liability — because it was his job to sexually compromise the rich and the influential, to gain the kind of subversive leverage that could be politically exploited.

However good it may be to hope that justice will be served, it remains unlikely that Dimon and JPMC will suffer anything more than a multimillion-dollar payout to Epstein-JPMC victims — a mere pittance, which, at any rate, will be paid by the bank’s shareholders, not by billionaire Dimon and his millionaire execs. The Virgin Islands lawsuit is a civil case, after all, although the revelations that have already come out (and that will be amplified by additional depositions and the trial) should provide ample grounds for federal criminal prosecution. But, as we know, Merrick Garland’s DOJ is too busy persecuting Donald Trump, J6 grandmas, pro-life prayer warriors, and an imaginary, gigantic “white nationalist” conspiracy to pursue charges against a Deep State asset like JPMorgan Chase.

Earlier this week, Deutsche Bank, the financial goliath based in Frankfurt, Germany, averted a trial by agreeing to pay $75 million to settle a lawsuit by women who claimed they were sexually abused by Epstein and claimed the bank had knowingly facilitated his sex-trafficking operations.

Dimon and JPMC will likely follow the same path and settle out of court. They would view $75-$100 million as chump change, the cost of doing business. That is why they have continued their crime wave for so long. We wrote previously:

For years, Dimon has operated America’s largest bank (the largest in capitalization, with more than 5,000 branch offices and 16,000 ATMs) as if he is the John Gotti “Teflon Don” of Wall Street. Dimon and JPMC appear to have immunity to act with impunity, thanks to servile politicians and regulators and media adulators. The notorious Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI, known widely as the ‘Bank of Crooks and Criminals International’ for its money laundering, drug trafficking, arms dealing, etc.) had nothing on JPMorgan Chase, which has been operating under a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice and has paid tens of billions of dollars in fines for felony crimes.

“The JPMC rap sheet,” we noted, “includes the bank’s involvement in some of the biggest criminal-financial scandals: Bernie Madoff, Sam Bankman-Fried/FTX, Jeffrey Epstein, massive mortgage fraud, defrauding veterans and customers, bid rigging, bond-market rigging, precious-metals rigging, foreign currency-exchange manipulation, and more.”

The mega crime wave of JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Citibank, and other Wall Street bankster/gangsters will only increase unless and until they are held legally accountable, which means putting the top criminals — not some mid-level flunky scapegoats — behind bars.
