Many people have shown outrage that the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring was busted but no judicial consequences have touched any of his many rich and powerful clients and facilitators.
But a cluster of lawsuits, in New York and on the Virgin Islands, has run contrary to this trend, and is starting to shed light on Wall Street’s dangerous liaisons with Epstein and his trafficked girls.
There are currently three related ongoing cases keeping the Epstein connection on the news. Two of the suits are class-action suits on behalf of anonymous Epstein victims — one against JPMorgan, the other against Deutsche Bank.
The third suit, accusing JPMorgan and former executive Jes Staley of criminal trafficking and fraud, has been brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands.
In the next months, discovery in these suits is likely to reveal how Epstein used key personal in the financial industry to build his criminal enterprise.

Intelligencer reports:
“At the center of all of these [lawsuits] is [Jes] Staley, a former protégé of JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, probably the most powerful person in finance. Staley spent more than 30 years at JPMorgan, rose to be the CEO of its massive asset-management and investment-banking divisions, and went on to helm Barclays, one of the U.K.’s most important banks.
[..] But Virgin Islands’ prosecutors, who have subpoena power, have uncovered bleak revelations about the lengths to which Staley and the bank had supported Epstein. Staley called his friendship with Epstein “profound,” having visited him personally in Florida, at the private island, and in prison.
