The head of JPMorgan Chase said that he had never met disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and never even heard of him until Epstein’s 2019 arrest, and that he wasn’t aware of the bank’s internal investigation of its relationship with Epstein, who kept much of his fortune at the bank for 15 years.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was deposed last week by lawyers for plaintiffs suing the bank over its alleged role in enabling Epstein’s sex trafficking, as well as a lawyer for a former Chase executive whom the nation’s largest bank blames for prolonging its ties to Epstein. Epstein, who pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008, died by suicide in jail in 2019 after being rearrested and charged with trafficking.
