JPMorgan handled $1.1 billion for Jeffrey Epstein despite warnings of criminal ties and reputation risk
Epstein’s Money Moves Through JPMorganDuring the years when Epstein was abusing teenage girls and young women, JPMorgan processed more than 4,700 transactions for him. These transactions totaled over $1.1 billion. Some payments went directly to his victims. The bank also sent money to Russian and Eastern European accounts that were connected to Epstein’s operations.
JPMorgan allowed Epstein to withdraw tens of thousands of dollars each month. These large withdrawals should have been a warning sign for suspicious activity. In some cases, the bank opened accounts for Epstein’s assistants and victims without proper checks. Experts say this could have helped Epstein move money easily and continue his crimes.
Bank employees noticed red flags early on. Some staff members raised concerns in 2006, after Epstein was arrested for soliciting a teenage girl. They highlighted unusual cash withdrawals and the risk to the bank’s reputation. Yet, despite these warnings, the bank continued to serve Epstein.
A Profitable Yet Risky ClientEpstein was a high-value client for JPMorgan. He brought in profits and helped the bank connect with other wealthy individuals. He even advised the bank while serving jail time in Florida. This included guidance on major investments and navigating challenges like the fallout from the Madoff Ponzi scheme.
At the center of the bank’s connection with Epstein was one of its top executives. This executive had a close personal and professional relationship with Epstein. They visited Epstein’s properties, sought his advice on salaries and business growth, and relied on him for strategic ideas.
The relationship went beyond business. Reports indicate that the executive had inappropriate personal interactions with one of Epstein’s assistants. The woman later said in legal filings that Epstein forced her and other victims into commercial sex with friends of the financier.
JPMorgan spokespersons said the bank regrets its relationship with Epstein and called it a mistake. They insisted the bank did not help Epstein commit his crimes.
Leadership Questions and OversightConcerns about Epstein’s accounts reached the bank’s top leadership multiple times. Internal notes suggest that some decisions about his accounts were “pending review” by the bank’s chief executive. Despite this, the accounts remained active for years.
The chief executive has said he did not know much about Epstein until 2019. However, records show that the executive may have been briefed at least twice about Epstein. Lawyers representing Epstein’s victims said that either the executive knew about Epstein and did not disclose it, or the information never reached him—both scenarios raising serious questions.

The internal investigations and legal filings paint a picture of a bank that repeatedly chose profit over caution. Employees’ warnings about suspicious activity and the risk to the bank’s reputation were ignored. Epstein continued to be a lucrative client while raising serious ethical and legal concerns.
The full extent of JPMorgan’s involvement with Epstein comes from over 13,000 pages of legal and financial records, including internal memos and depositions. The documents show that Epstein’s money moved through the bank for years, highlighting how closely the financier and the bank were tied financially.

Epstein And Israel And Bilderberg - September 8, 2025 by sd
There are plenty of Jeffrey Epstein questions yet to be resolved, though the issue has been placed on a back burner, with victims still clamoring for justice and Epstein’s “clients” still at large.
Among the fascinating puzzles: his international connections, his probable involvement with intelligence services, and the role the New York “billionaire” played not just in global powerbrokerage but perhaps with those long suspected as backing a “new world order” (and an elite takeover of global governance).
In regard to the latter, a prominent family name for decades has been “Rothschild,” bankers based in Paris, London, Vienna, and Frankfurt and long accused (since 1812) of attempting to control world banks, orchestrate global events (wars, depressions), and manipulate media and governments.
As it turns out, Epstein, whose rise to influence and fortune are in part what generate his mystique, seems to have gotten his start, to some degree, through the Rothschilds.
In an email to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak in 2016, Epstein mentioned a dinner invitation to “rotshcild,” an apparent reference to French banker and CEO of Edmond de Rothschild Group, Ariane de Rothschild. A Wall Street Journal investigation two years ago revealed that de Rothschild had more than a dozen meetings with Epstein, which the bank first denied but later admitted “as part of her normal duties at the bank between 2013 and 2019.”
Digging deeper, one finds that according to Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a twenty-year sentence for sex trafficking with Epstein, claimed it was another member of the family—Lynn Forester de Rothschild—who introduced Epstein to Prince Andrew in Martha’s Vineyard in the early 2000s, causing an international scandal and costing the prince his royal duties. As the London Telegraph revealed, Lady de Rothschild had been married to British financier Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, who died in 2022 at age 91.
To make it more intriguing yet, it turns out that Henry Kissinger was also involved and had introduced Lynn de Rothschild to Sir Evelyn at a Bilderberg Conference in Turnberry, Scotland, in 1998.
The Bilderberg meeting long has been thought by those positing a world-order conspiracy to be central in the effort, though if so, it remains unclear why so many participants (including now Kissinger) would have exerted themselves in an effort they’d never live to see reach its final goal. The Rothschild family is now spread out with independent business ventures and is not nearly as wealthy as new kids on the block such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, the Waltons (Wal-Mart), and Bill Gates (though the latter had frequented Epstein’s island, as had another tech multi-billionaire, Peter Thiel, of PayPal and Palantir).
The New York Times has revealed that Epstein also helped the world’s most prestigious bank, JPMorgan, orchestrate an important acquisition, introducing executives to lucrative clients like Google co-founder Sergey Brin and global leaders like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel (there’s that Israeli connection again).
As for the intelligence agencies, e-mails from the inbox of ex-Prime Minister Barak reveal discussions about a trip to the disgraced financier’s private Caribbean island. According to Reason magazine, the emails were stolen by a hacking group with suspected ties to Iranian intelligence agencies.
Rumors have been rampant for years that Epstein had ties to Mossad, the Israeli intelligence division, as well as the CIA and possibly even British and Russian intelligence. Maxwell’s father, Robert, was a media billionaire who despite an unsavory reputation was buried with great honor in Israel after his suspicious fall from his yacht in 1991.
Epstein, according to Reason’s reporting, used Barak “to seek out opportunities in the surveillance industry and build connections with powerful figures around the globe.” The magazine said those influential figures included Thiel along with the former director of Israel’s foreign electronic surveillance as well as two individuals described as being in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.
