JPMorgan CEO Deposed Over Bank's Longtime Ties to Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein

JPMorgan Chase allegedly ignored warnings about Jeffrey Epstein's criminal conduct and sex trafficking for 15 years while profiting from managing hundreds of millions of dollars of his money.
Epstein's relationship with JPMorgan extended to top executives at the bank, and he was dropped as a client only in 2013.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon denied having any personal relationship with Epstein in a deposition but faces a federal lawsuit from Epstein's victims and a separate one from the U.S. Virgin Islands.
JPMorgan accuses former officials in the Virgin Islands, where Epstein owned a private island residence, of accepting bribes and favors to look away from his crimes.
There are calls for legislation to impose harsh penalties on banks that ignore signs of criminal behavior by clients, especially human trafficking.
