JPMorgan's Ties to Jeffrey Epstein and the U.S. Virgin Islands' Ex-Governor
JPMorgan Chase has alleged that Cecile de Jongh, the wife of a former governor of the US Virgin Islands, aided convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activity by helping him evade sex offender monitoring laws and coordinating visas, employment, and travel for his victims. The bank claimed that de Jongh was Epstein's "primary conduit for spreading money and influence throughout the USVI government." The allegations were made in a court document filed as part of the bank's defense in a civil suit brought by the territory against it last year.
