JP Morgan Executives Were A Lot Closer To Jeffrey Epstein Than They Are Admitting

Senior executives at JPMorgan Chase continued to meet with Jeffrey Epstein years after the bank said it had cut him off as a client in 2013, according to reporting based on internal documents and people familiar with the matter. Bankers, including one named Justin Nelson, held about half a dozen meetings with Epstein at his Manhattan townhouse between 2014 and 2017, even though JPMorgan had formally ended its banking relationship with him. Some of those meetings involved discussions about other clients or introductions Epstein could make, rather than direct financial dealings, but they demonstrate that contact between the disgraced financier and bank personnel continued long after the official split.

The disclosures have fueled broader questions about how deeply Epstein’s network remained embedded with Wall Street institutions and whether JPMorgan’s review and severing of ties in 2013 reflected the full scope of its engagement. While the bank maintains it ended the relationship and has denied prior wrongdoing, the continued interactions with Epstein and other executives’ past contacts with him have become part of ongoing litigation and scrutiny over whether the bank appropriately handled red flags associated with Epstein’s conduct.
