Mega Edition: Did Jamie Dimon Know Who And What Epstein Was? (10/27/26)

1
00:00:00.290 --> 00:00:04.030
What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
2
00:00:04.669 --> 00:00:07.269
For as long as we can remember, all we've heard
3
00:00:07.370 --> 00:00:11.189
from Jamie Dimon is that he never discussed what Epstein
4
00:00:11.210 --> 00:00:15.140
was up to, what Epstein was doing, or that Epstein
5
00:00:15.419 --> 00:00:18.879
was even a client at the bank. Now, though, in
6
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.160
court documents, we're hearing from Jeff Staley, and I know
7
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:24.859
this is going to be a shocker to you, has
8
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.679
said that Jamie Dimon did in fact know about Jeffrey
9
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.570
Epstein and and the fact that Epstein was a no-good
10
00:00:31.649 --> 00:00:32.310
son of a bitch.
11
00:00:32.869 --> 00:00:34.710
And for all of these years, J.P.
12
00:00:34.750 --> 00:00:39.229
Morgan, Jamie Dimon, Jez Staley, Leon Black, all of the
13
00:00:39.270 --> 00:00:41.450
rest of them have been able to get away with
14
00:00:41.469 --> 00:00:44.530
this nonsense because nobody called them out on it.
15
00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:46.820
However, now, the U.S.
16
00:00:46.859 --> 00:00:50.320
Virgin Islands, as they search for that bag again, well,
17
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.100
they have no qualms calling them out, even though they're
18
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.240
exposing their own hypocrisy. It's also revealing a lot of
19
00:00:57.299 --> 00:01:01.479
things that we already knew. And it's also confirming a
20
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.420
lot of things that we already knew. And one of
21
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.299
those things is this, that JP Morgan played a critical
22
00:01:08.379 --> 00:01:11.920
role in what Jeffrey Epstein was up to. And that
23
00:01:11.980 --> 00:01:15.620
Jamie Dimon and all of the other executives, they were
24
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.500
on board. And as long as those checks were cashed
25
00:01:18.819 --> 00:01:22.750
and that envelope wasn't coming in light, everything was all good.
26
00:01:23.510 --> 00:01:26.829
But now when the spotlight turns to them, Look how
27
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.870
quick everybody is to point their finger at somebody else.
28
00:01:30.290 --> 00:01:33.510
Nobody wants to take responsibility. Nobody wants to step up
29
00:01:33.569 --> 00:01:36.090
and say, look, I could have stopped this. And that's
30
00:01:36.129 --> 00:01:39.189
because they were all complicit. If there was a good
31
00:01:39.230 --> 00:01:42.030
guy amongst them or a good woman amongst them, then
32
00:01:42.310 --> 00:01:45.209
somebody would have stepped up behind the scenes, whatever, and
33
00:01:45.250 --> 00:01:48.430
been a whistleblower. And nothing like that ever occurred. Not
34
00:01:48.609 --> 00:01:51.969
one of these executives who got these emails ever lifted
35
00:01:52.010 --> 00:01:55.379
a finger or to call anybody, to try and stop
36
00:01:55.540 --> 00:01:58.609
Epstein from doing what he was doing, to alert anybody
37
00:01:58.859 --> 00:02:02.409
that he's engaged in all kinds of financial malfeasance. They
38
00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:04.950
just let him do whatever he wanted to do for
39
00:02:05.090 --> 00:02:07.969
all of these years. And for Jamie Dimon to act
40
00:02:08.009 --> 00:02:10.719
like he had no idea, I always said that was
41
00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:15.800
a bunch of absolute bullshit. In any bureaucracy or corporation,
42
00:02:16.219 --> 00:02:19.639
big decisions aren't made by middle managers. The only people
43
00:02:19.659 --> 00:02:21.800
who don't know that are people who have never worked
44
00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:24.360
in corporate America. For those of us who have been
45
00:02:24.379 --> 00:02:29.099
getting shit on by corporations and people exactly like Jamie Dimon,
46
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.719
we know exactly who we're dealing with and how they
47
00:02:31.740 --> 00:02:34.719
feel about us. And Dimon and his merry bunch of
48
00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:37.879
financial jerk-offs over here, they thought that they were never
49
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.020
going to have to answer, under oath, about their relationship
50
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.740
with Epstein. so they could make whatever statements they want
51
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.180
in public. Oh, we never hung out with him. We
52
00:02:46.219 --> 00:02:48.740
never did this. We never did that. Same goes for
53
00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:52.300
guys like Bill Gates. And then, after it's revealed that
54
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.759
that was a big-ass lie, the media's just like, oh, okay,
55
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:56.360
no big deal.
56
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.300
He misremembered. Let's move on.
57
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.780
Instead, they should be digging their heels in and trying
58
00:03:01.819 --> 00:03:04.039
to get to the bottom of the story. But they
59
00:03:04.090 --> 00:03:06.430
don't care about the truth, do they? If they can't
60
00:03:06.490 --> 00:03:10.050
wield it as a political cudgel, then forget about it.
61
00:03:10.669 --> 00:03:16.319
Today's article is from MarketWatch. Headline, former JP Morgan executive,
62
00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:21.819
Jess Daly, says he talked with Jamie Dimon about Jeffrey Epstein. Now,
63
00:03:22.180 --> 00:03:23.939
for those of you out there who have worked in
64
00:03:23.979 --> 00:03:27.340
corporate America, have you ever had a giant client that
65
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.460
your boss knew nothing about? That your boss had no
66
00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:33.900
idea was even part of the fabric of what was
67
00:03:33.939 --> 00:03:36.740
going on in the company? Because I certainly don't have
68
00:03:37.210 --> 00:03:41.629
Any single experience where my bosses didn't know every single
69
00:03:41.710 --> 00:03:45.400
gigantic player that was coming into my sportsbook. They knew
70
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.560
every single person that was walking into that sportsbook for
71
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.280
the most part. Anybody who was betting serious money. So
72
00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:54.879
you mean to tell me that you have no idea
73
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.490
who you're dealing with as Jamie Diamond at JP Morgan.
74
00:03:58.830 --> 00:04:00.990
And we're not talking about you or I going there
75
00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:02.930
to set up an account. Of course he has no
76
00:04:03.050 --> 00:04:07.259
idea who we are. We're talking about Jeffrey Epstein. Hundreds
77
00:04:07.300 --> 00:04:10.360
of millions of dollars, all kinds of benefits, and you
78
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.150
mean to tell me, Jamie Dimon, Mr. Big Shot, knew
79
00:04:14.210 --> 00:04:16.990
nothing about it. Well, I don't believe that. And as
80
00:04:17.029 --> 00:04:19.970
far as Jeff Staley, he's a known liar as well,
81
00:04:20.050 --> 00:04:23.589
but a broken clock is still right two times a day.
82
00:04:24.430 --> 00:04:29.470
This article was authored by Steve Gelsie. former JPMorgan Chase
83
00:04:29.569 --> 00:04:33.329
and company executive Jess Daly alleged in court papers that
84
00:04:33.350 --> 00:04:38.740
he communicated about convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein with CEO Jamie Dimon,
85
00:04:39.060 --> 00:04:43.000
the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. So that's damning
86
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.560
right there. This guy is out here talking about how
87
00:04:46.610 --> 00:04:49.589
he knows nothing about what was going on. Meanwhile, you
88
00:04:49.629 --> 00:04:53.149
have people that were right in the mix saying something
89
00:04:53.370 --> 00:04:56.870
completely different. We read it in the emails as well, right? Oh,
90
00:04:56.930 --> 00:04:59.509
Jamie knew this or Jamie knew that. And for him
91
00:04:59.550 --> 00:05:01.389
to get up there and say that he had no
92
00:05:01.509 --> 00:05:05.149
idea is just not a statement that should be taken seriously,
93
00:05:05.189 --> 00:05:07.639
in my opinion. And if he lied about it during
94
00:05:07.660 --> 00:05:10.980
this deposition, that would be perjury. Would they ever go
95
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.550
after Diamond for perjury? I highly doubt it, but that's
96
00:05:14.610 --> 00:05:16.930
why they put people under oath. So you have to
97
00:05:16.970 --> 00:05:21.470
tell the truth. If not, you're facing the music. Citing
98
00:05:21.509 --> 00:05:24.269
documents that have not been made public in a lawsuit
99
00:05:24.310 --> 00:05:28.740
against Staley brought by J.P. Morgan, the newspaper reported that
100
00:05:28.779 --> 00:05:33.779
Staley said he had conversations with Diamond about Epstein for years.
101
00:05:34.339 --> 00:05:34.839
No shit.
102
00:05:35.550 --> 00:05:39.329
This is about as obvious as anything ever in the
103
00:05:39.370 --> 00:05:42.439
history of the world. Jeff Staley might have been a
104
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.680
very powerful man at JP Morgan, but he didn't have
105
00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:48.980
the final say. He didn't have the final word on
106
00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:52.480
what was happening. When all said and done, that's Jamie Dimon.
107
00:05:52.899 --> 00:05:55.730
And remember, this shit happened on his watch. So it
108
00:05:55.750 --> 00:05:58.370
can only be one of two things. Either A, you
109
00:05:58.410 --> 00:06:03.750
were negligent, or B, you were involved. A JPMorgan Chase
110
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:07.449
spokesperson confirmed to MarketWatch that there is no evidence that
111
00:06:07.629 --> 00:06:11.170
any such communication, as reported by the Wall Street Journal,
112
00:06:11.490 --> 00:06:14.879
took place. Oh, okay, I'm sure there's no evidence whatsoever.
113
00:06:14.899 --> 00:06:17.420
You know what we're going to find out, come later on,
114
00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:21.699
that there's going to be disappearing emails as well. Remember
115
00:06:21.730 --> 00:06:25.329
with Acosta, there's a year's worth of emails that went missing.
116
00:06:25.829 --> 00:06:28.189
And why would those emails go missing? Who is he
117
00:06:28.230 --> 00:06:28.750
talking to?
118
00:06:28.910 --> 00:06:30.449
Oh, that's right. His superiors.
119
00:06:30.990 --> 00:06:33.290
They don't want anyone to know that they made the call.
120
00:06:33.829 --> 00:06:36.790
Acosta was set up as the fall guy. So my
121
00:06:36.810 --> 00:06:39.709
guess is we're going to hear about deleted emails when
122
00:06:39.750 --> 00:06:42.209
it comes to JP Morgan later on down the road.
123
00:06:42.569 --> 00:06:44.970
And what that leaves us with is a he said,
124
00:06:45.290 --> 00:06:49.269
she said kind of situation with Staley making these allegations
125
00:06:49.370 --> 00:06:53.350
against Jamie Dimon. Although, we do have the emails from
126
00:06:53.410 --> 00:06:57.379
the other executives talking about how Jamie Dimon knew what
127
00:06:57.420 --> 00:07:00.779
was up. So, in this instance, I happen to believe
128
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.600
what Jeff Staley is saying here and that Jamie Dimon
129
00:07:03.899 --> 00:07:07.519
was well aware of Epstein and what Epstein was doing
130
00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:09.420
while a client at J.P.
131
00:07:09.459 --> 00:07:09.839
Morgan.
132
00:07:11.019 --> 00:07:14.250
We believe this is false, the spokesperson said. There is
133
00:07:14.290 --> 00:07:18.439
no evidence that any such communication ever occurred. Nothing in
134
00:07:18.459 --> 00:07:21.819
the large number of documents reviewed and nothing in the
135
00:07:21.860 --> 00:07:26.740
nearly dozen depositions taken, including that our own CEO, the
136
00:07:26.819 --> 00:07:29.959
one person who claims this to be true, is currently
137
00:07:30.019 --> 00:07:34.730
accused of horrific acts and dishonesty and hasn't even been deposed.
138
00:07:35.050 --> 00:07:38.670
Self-preservance is a motherfucker, huh? Look how quick these dudes
139
00:07:38.769 --> 00:07:41.360
are to throw each other under the bus. And that's
140
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.980
why I said, if this was ever a RICO case,
141
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.839
can you imagine these idiots trying to avoid the hard
142
00:07:47.899 --> 00:07:51.600
questions that would be coming their way from seasoned prosecutors
143
00:07:51.939 --> 00:07:53.519
and seasoned interrogators?
144
00:07:54.500 --> 00:07:55.290
It would have been a wrap.
145
00:07:55.670 --> 00:07:58.509
Everybody would have been snitching on everybody, and the party
146
00:07:58.750 --> 00:08:01.269
would have been over. But no, they didn't want to
147
00:08:01.310 --> 00:08:03.410
do that, did they? They want to piecemeal it all
148
00:08:03.449 --> 00:08:06.509
together and act like they really care. But the real
149
00:08:06.769 --> 00:08:09.620
fact of the matter here is, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
150
00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:13.680
if they cared, This would not be civil. This would
151
00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:17.300
be a criminal matter. And instead of embarrassment and losing
152
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:22.040
your job, we'd be talking about serious jail time. Staley
153
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.980
alleged that Diamond communicated with him about Epstein after Epstein
154
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.240
was arrested in 2006, as well as when Epstein pleaded
155
00:08:30.300 --> 00:08:35.879
guilty in 2008 to criminal charges in Florida. Staley, who
156
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:41.009
also alleged that Diamond communicated with him through 2012 about
157
00:08:41.049 --> 00:08:45.470
whether to continue the bank's financial ties to Epstein. So
158
00:08:45.570 --> 00:08:48.070
basically saying that he went to his boss to see
159
00:08:48.110 --> 00:08:51.210
if it was okay, and Jamie Diamond gave his approval.
160
00:08:51.490 --> 00:08:54.169
And we see that because Epstein was still at the bank, right?
161
00:08:54.590 --> 00:08:57.559
If Diamond wanted Epstein gone, he could have made that happen.
162
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.259
He's the head honcho. He's the boss man. He could
163
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:04.159
do whatever he wants. Diamond gave a deposition in the
164
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.899
lawsuit on Friday and said he has no memory of
165
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:13.789
ever discussing or reviewing Epstein's accounts with Staley. The spokesperson said, Oh,
166
00:09:13.830 --> 00:09:15.350
I have no memory of it. I don't know.
167
00:09:15.370 --> 00:09:16.129
I might have.
168
00:09:17.110 --> 00:09:19.309
I have such a great memory for numbers, but I
169
00:09:19.350 --> 00:09:23.549
don't remember this conversation. And I don't remember Jeffrey Epstein
170
00:09:23.610 --> 00:09:25.610
as a client even. You mean to tell me he
171
00:09:25.649 --> 00:09:28.850
was banking with J.P. Morgan? That's kind of the response
172
00:09:28.870 --> 00:09:31.289
we're getting here from Jamie Dimon, and I don't know
173
00:09:31.330 --> 00:09:33.840
who's buying it. There are millions and millions of emails
174
00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:36.779
and other documents that have been produced in this case,
175
00:09:37.139 --> 00:09:40.399
and not one comes close to even suggesting that Dimon
176
00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:44.940
had any role in decisions about Epstein's accounts, the spokesperson
177
00:09:44.980 --> 00:09:48.460
said in an email to MarketWatch. The bank now knows
178
00:09:48.740 --> 00:09:53.840
that Epstein's behavior was monstrous and that his survivors deserve justice.
179
00:09:55.659 --> 00:09:59.000
In hindsight, any association with him was a mistake, and
180
00:09:59.059 --> 00:10:02.860
we regret it. But these suits are misdirected, and we
181
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.799
did not help him commit these heinous crimes, the spokesperson said.
182
00:10:07.419 --> 00:10:11.879
JP Morgan's Chase stock is down 0.2% in pre-market trades
183
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.259
on Wednesday. Staley, the former head of JP Morgan's private bank,
184
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.259
is being sued by JPMorgan Chase for his alleged role
185
00:10:20.500 --> 00:10:25.379
in Epstein's financial dealings. In separate lawsuits, the government of
186
00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:29.059
the U.S. Virgin Islands is suing JPMorgan over its alleged
187
00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:32.990
ties with Epstein. In that legal action, JPMorgan said last
188
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.470
week that the government officials in the U.S. Virgin Islands
189
00:10:36.750 --> 00:10:37.629
enabled Epstein.
190
00:10:38.070 --> 00:10:38.710
All of you did.
191
00:10:39.009 --> 00:10:41.789
Every last one of you. You should all be held accountable.
192
00:10:43.049 --> 00:10:47.149
In 2019, Epstein was found dead in his prison cell
193
00:10:47.669 --> 00:10:51.509
at the Metropolitan Correctional Center of an apparent suicide by
194
00:10:51.570 --> 00:10:55.929
hanging while awaiting trial for sex trafficking and other charges.
195
00:10:56.769 --> 00:11:00.610
Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting and procuring a minor for
196
00:11:00.649 --> 00:11:04.830
prostitution in 2008 and spent time in a Florida jail
197
00:11:05.169 --> 00:11:08.129
and was a registered sex offender. I mean, if you
198
00:11:08.169 --> 00:11:10.909
call what he was doing, spending time in jail, okay,
199
00:11:10.990 --> 00:11:13.250
but he was there like a few hours a day.
200
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.490
Most of his time was spent at his office. And
201
00:11:16.750 --> 00:11:20.029
according to reports, while he was out on work release,
202
00:11:20.590 --> 00:11:23.289
he was molesting girls. So another feather in the cap
203
00:11:23.330 --> 00:11:26.289
for law enforcement when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and
204
00:11:26.309 --> 00:11:29.529
his bullshit. As far as Jeff Staley goes here and
205
00:11:29.549 --> 00:11:32.730
the allegations against Jamie Dimon, I happen to believe them.
206
00:11:33.149 --> 00:11:35.120
But how is he going to prove it? That's going
207
00:11:35.149 --> 00:11:37.580
to be the difficult part. Maybe he has some receipts
208
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:38.500
that we don't know about.
209
00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:39.480
Very possible.
210
00:11:39.940 --> 00:11:42.480
Either way, you know we're going to be following along.
211
00:11:43.070 --> 00:11:45.649
And as soon as we have more to share, me,
212
00:11:45.970 --> 00:11:50.149
my beard, and my big mouth will be back. All right, folks,
213
00:11:50.169 --> 00:11:51.840
that's going to do it for this one. All of
214
00:11:51.860 --> 00:11:54.659
the information that goes with the episode can be found
215
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:59.559
in the description box. Welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
216
00:12:01.340 --> 00:12:05.200
Jamie Dimon, big shot from J.P. Morgan, is sitting for
217
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.970
a deposition today, and he's going to be deposed for
218
00:12:09.029 --> 00:12:13.669
lawsuits that accuse the bank of facilitating... and profiting from
219
00:12:13.789 --> 00:12:19.000
sex trafficking by their longtime customer, Jeffrey Epstein. This comes
220
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.360
as the battle royale down in the US Virgin Islands
221
00:12:22.580 --> 00:12:27.919
between JP Morgan, unnamed accusers, Jess Staley, and the US
222
00:12:27.970 --> 00:12:32.870
Virgin Island government continues to mosh its way through the court.
223
00:12:33.269 --> 00:12:35.429
So today, we're going to talk a little bit more
224
00:12:35.669 --> 00:12:40.029
about Jamie Dimon and him sitting for this deposition. To
225
00:12:40.070 --> 00:12:43.990
do that, we have An article from CNBC, and the
226
00:12:44.090 --> 00:12:49.950
author of this article is Dan Mangan. Headline, JP Morgan
227
00:12:50.009 --> 00:12:56.379
CEO Jamie Dimon faces deposition in Jeffrey Epstein lawsuits. I'm
228
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:59.799
honestly shocked that this guy is even giving these depositions.
229
00:13:00.179 --> 00:13:03.019
I figured he'd find a way to weasel himself out
230
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.960
and not have to deal with sitting down like a
231
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:09.879
commoner and talking about what his bank might have been
232
00:13:09.940 --> 00:13:13.360
up to. Guys like Jamie Dimon usually find a way
233
00:13:13.389 --> 00:13:16.220
to wiggle out. Oh, my mom is sick. I have
234
00:13:16.250 --> 00:13:19.700
a gopher who has an ingrown hair. You know, every
235
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:24.759
excuse under the sun. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was
236
00:13:24.820 --> 00:13:27.820
set to be deposed Friday at his bank's New York
237
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:32.639
headquarters for lawsuits that accused the company of facilitating and
238
00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:37.440
profiting from sex trafficking by its longtime customer Jeffrey Epstein.
239
00:13:38.370 --> 00:13:42.850
Diamond and JPMorgan, which denies any wrongdoing and liability in
240
00:13:42.889 --> 00:13:46.830
the cases, earlier lost an effort to dismiss the suits
241
00:13:47.090 --> 00:13:51.070
by the plaintiffs, the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands,
242
00:13:51.460 --> 00:13:55.460
and an anonymous Epstein accuser. So they tried their damnedest
243
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.519
to get this thrown out without a jury or a
244
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.539
judge ever getting a real look at what was going on.
245
00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:05.080
And that's always the best course of action if you're
246
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.250
somebody like JPMorgan, right? The last thing you want to
247
00:14:08.289 --> 00:14:10.950
do is have to answer for this bullshit in court.
248
00:14:11.509 --> 00:14:13.669
So if you can get it thrown out, find a
249
00:14:13.730 --> 00:14:17.590
judge that's favorable to your cause, then so much the better.
250
00:14:18.070 --> 00:14:20.830
But that didn't happen this time. And Judge Rakoff has
251
00:14:20.870 --> 00:14:24.480
decided that they're going to have to answer for their bullshit. Now,
252
00:14:24.529 --> 00:14:27.120
how far that goes once we get into the courtroom,
253
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:29.720
we all know the deal. It's going to be a
254
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.809
couple of wink-wink, nudge-nudges. And there's going to be a
255
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.620
bunch of payoffs. Besides that, there's not going to be
256
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.279
any kind of real punishment for anybody. What do you think,
257
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:42.139
Jamie Dimon is going to sit in the jail cell ever?
258
00:14:42.740 --> 00:14:45.820
Zero chance. What do you think, Jess Daly is, even
259
00:14:45.860 --> 00:14:49.059
though he's being accused of heinous crimes? If that was
260
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.919
any of us being accused of what Jess Daly is
261
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:55.519
being accused of, forget it. We'd be getting tarred and
262
00:14:55.580 --> 00:14:58.679
feathered and dragged down to the local police station on
263
00:14:58.779 --> 00:15:02.090
just allegations. But it's not good enough when it's Jeff
264
00:15:02.110 --> 00:15:05.789
Staley or Glenn Dubin or George Mitchell or Bill Richardson.
265
00:15:07.289 --> 00:15:10.129
The suits claim that J.P. Morgan, the biggest bank in
266
00:15:10.149 --> 00:15:14.070
the United States, kept Epstein as a customer even after
267
00:15:14.149 --> 00:15:18.720
learning he was being investigated for sexually abusing underage girls
268
00:15:18.779 --> 00:15:22.440
in Florida and after he pleaded guilty in a state
269
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:27.259
charge there in 2008 to paying for sex from a minor.
270
00:15:27.659 --> 00:15:30.000
And we all know what that paying was. That was
271
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.980
the hush money. What do you think? These little girls
272
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.879
were walking around on whatever the blade is down there
273
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.700
in Palm Beach and they were women of the night?
274
00:15:39.419 --> 00:15:42.850
That wasn't how this worked. This dude recruited little girls
275
00:15:43.129 --> 00:15:46.230
to go and recruit other little girls for him. And
276
00:15:46.250 --> 00:15:49.830
it was all managed by some elder women like Ghislaine
277
00:15:49.870 --> 00:15:53.500
Maxwell and Sarah Kellan Vickers who were really at the controls.
278
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.179
Everybody else was just a pawn, right? A piece to
279
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.879
be moved on the chessboard. for Epstein's desires and to
280
00:16:00.940 --> 00:16:07.429
advance whatever disgusting, weird-ass plot he had cooking. The bank
281
00:16:07.509 --> 00:16:10.289
is accused in the complaints in the U.S. District Court
282
00:16:10.509 --> 00:16:13.830
in Manhattan of doing so in order to keep Epstein,
283
00:16:14.090 --> 00:16:17.279
who kept tens of millions of dollars in accounts there,
284
00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:22.759
despite internal concerns about his slimy reputation. Remember, they don't
285
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.490
care about your reputation. The only thing that you can
286
00:16:25.529 --> 00:16:29.549
possibly do that is bad for business is be broke.
287
00:16:29.870 --> 00:16:33.190
Everything else, it's game on. You want to abuse children.
288
00:16:33.450 --> 00:16:35.350
You want to beat on your wife. You want to
289
00:16:35.389 --> 00:16:38.990
be an arms dealer. Hell, everybody's welcomed in the elite
290
00:16:39.029 --> 00:16:42.850
circles that these scumbags run in. The Virgin Islands says
291
00:16:43.049 --> 00:16:46.950
Epstein used frequent cash withdrawals he made from those accounts
292
00:16:47.230 --> 00:16:49.909
to pay for young women to travel to the American
293
00:16:49.970 --> 00:16:53.860
territory so that he and others could abuse them at
294
00:16:53.899 --> 00:16:57.220
his residence on a private island that he owned. So
295
00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.820
where are the others? Everybody wants to talk about the
296
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:02.980
others in all of these articles. How come these journalists
297
00:17:03.019 --> 00:17:06.180
don't go deeper? Okay, so they say others. Let's dig
298
00:17:06.220 --> 00:17:08.680
a little deeper. Who are these others? And when you
299
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.720
start digging, it's rather obvious that a bunch of people
300
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.089
have already been named. And that's why I find it
301
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.880
laughable when you have people out here on Twitter and
302
00:17:16.940 --> 00:17:20.410
elsewhere talking about how they're going to expose this one
303
00:17:20.450 --> 00:17:23.329
or that one. Bro. When you have guys like George
304
00:17:23.390 --> 00:17:27.569
Mitchell and Bill Richardson being completely exposed in this and
305
00:17:27.630 --> 00:17:30.880
nothing happening, I find it so bizarre that people would
306
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:34.319
rather talk about folks like Tom Hanks and other people
307
00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:38.779
in Hollywood while simply ignoring people like Ehud Barak or
308
00:17:38.859 --> 00:17:43.390
ignoring people like Bill Richardson or ignoring people like George Mitchell.
309
00:17:44.049 --> 00:17:46.950
It makes me wonder what their real intentions are when
310
00:17:46.970 --> 00:17:50.589
they're covering or talking about this case. Because the real
311
00:17:50.609 --> 00:17:53.940
meat and potatoes here, folks, are not the jesters that
312
00:17:53.980 --> 00:17:57.299
get dressed up and dance for our shekels. That means
313
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:00.829
the jerk-offs in Hollywood. The real problem here are these
314
00:18:00.910 --> 00:18:04.430
degenerates that were at the levers of power and still
315
00:18:04.490 --> 00:18:07.380
hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein. People out here are acting
316
00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:10.559
like we should be shocked that Hollywood's full of degenerates.
317
00:18:10.740 --> 00:18:13.859
We already knew that. This isn't breaking news. So I'm
318
00:18:13.940 --> 00:18:16.819
always skeptical of these people out here banging the drum
319
00:18:16.859 --> 00:18:19.539
about this name or that name when the names of
320
00:18:19.619 --> 00:18:23.440
importance that have already been dropped are out there and
321
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:26.809
none of these people that are supposedly going to expose
322
00:18:26.890 --> 00:18:29.869
everything have done a damn thing. And they'll continue to
323
00:18:29.910 --> 00:18:34.670
just be feckless grifters, but somehow... That generates buzz. People
324
00:18:34.710 --> 00:18:37.390
want that kind of stuff, I guess. Me personally, I
325
00:18:37.789 --> 00:18:41.319
don't care about all the salacious rumor. I don't care
326
00:18:41.380 --> 00:18:44.000
about Tom Hanks. I don't care about none of that.
327
00:18:44.180 --> 00:18:46.339
You know what I care about? The facts right here
328
00:18:46.380 --> 00:18:48.900
in front of my face. Things that have been in
329
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.730
court documents that people in the legacy media even can't dispute.
330
00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:57.000
Those are the things that we should be pushing forward.
331
00:18:57.299 --> 00:19:00.019
That's the ball that should be carried over the goal line.
332
00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:04.019
But the sad truth is, this space, like just about
333
00:19:04.180 --> 00:19:08.869
any other, is populated with a bunch of charlatans, grifters, liars,
334
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.910
and con artists. I have this secret information. And if
335
00:19:12.950 --> 00:19:18.750
you subscribe to my newsletter for the mere price of $ 4. 99
336
00:19:16.869 --> 00:19:20.349
a month, that information can be yours too. Every time
337
00:19:20.430 --> 00:19:22.430
I see garbage like that, I want to reach for
338
00:19:22.470 --> 00:19:26.450
the Drano and drink it. Human trafficking was the principal
339
00:19:26.529 --> 00:19:30.619
business of the accounts Epstein maintained at J.P. Morgan, the
340
00:19:30.660 --> 00:19:35.319
Virgin Islands suit says. Diamond's deposition is being taken in private.
341
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.740
The questions he has asked and the answers he gives
342
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:41.680
would only become public if they are used in court
343
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.869
filings and proceedings or if they are leaked. And I
344
00:19:45.890 --> 00:19:48.230
would never rule that out. You never know when we're
345
00:19:48.250 --> 00:19:51.319
talking about court transcripts here. we're not talking about grand
346
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:55.359
jury transcripts, so there's always a chance, minuscule, but there's
347
00:19:55.380 --> 00:19:57.819
always a chance that this stuff does get dumped.
348
00:19:59.019 --> 00:19:59.380
J.P.
349
00:19:59.420 --> 00:20:04.279
Morgan didn't immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment. In
350
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.619
addition to questioning Diamond under oath, the Virgin Islands has
351
00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:12.059
issued a flurry of subpoenas seeking documents related to Epstein
352
00:20:12.410 --> 00:20:15.960
and J.P. Morgan from a number of high-profile people the
353
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:20.299
government suspects Epstein tried to recruit as fellow clients of
354
00:20:20.339 --> 00:20:23.099
the bank. And as great as it is to see
355
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:26.700
the U.S. Virgin Islands calling out the bank here for
356
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:31.460
their role in Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise, do you really
357
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:33.970
think they'd be doing that if hundreds of millions of
358
00:20:34.029 --> 00:20:37.529
dollars weren't on the line? I highly doubt they would be.
359
00:20:38.099 --> 00:20:40.940
Because remember, it's never been about justice here. They had
360
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.829
ample opportunity to meet some justice out. And they chose
361
00:20:44.869 --> 00:20:48.589
not to. Instead, they chose to wet their beak at
362
00:20:48.630 --> 00:20:53.529
a Jeffrey Epstein's palm. They include Tesla CEO Elon Musk,
363
00:20:53.869 --> 00:20:58.369
Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, former Disney executive
364
00:20:58.450 --> 00:21:04.119
Michael Ovitz, Hyatt Hotels executive chairman Thomas Pritzker, and Mort Zuckerman,
365
00:21:04.410 --> 00:21:09.730
the billionaire real estate investor. Diamond's deposition comes more than
366
00:21:09.769 --> 00:21:13.809
a week after Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $ 75 million
367
00:21:14.130 --> 00:21:18.150
to Epstein's survivors to settle a would-be class action lawsuit
368
00:21:18.430 --> 00:21:22.460
by one of his accusers. Deutsche Bank had taken on
369
00:21:22.619 --> 00:21:26.859
Epstein as a customer after JP Morgan severed ties with
370
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.700
them in 2013 after keeping him on as a client
371
00:21:30.940 --> 00:21:34.180
for 15 years. So imagine they have the audacity to
372
00:21:34.220 --> 00:21:36.569
look anybody in the face and say they did the
373
00:21:36.609 --> 00:21:39.970
right thing here You were in bed with an absolute
374
00:21:40.069 --> 00:21:43.410
serpent for all those years, and now it's all Jeff
375
00:21:43.430 --> 00:21:46.130
Staley's fault, huh? You guys had nothing to do with it.
376
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.779
Deutsche Bank had taken on Epstein as a customer after J.P.
377
00:21:51.819 --> 00:21:55.960
Morgan severed ties with him in 2013, after keeping him
378
00:21:56.140 --> 00:21:57.730
as a client for 15 years.
379
00:21:58.509 --> 00:21:58.829
J.P.
380
00:21:58.849 --> 00:22:03.029
Morgan has said Diamond had not reviewed Epstein's accounts when
381
00:22:03.049 --> 00:22:07.609
he was a client there from 1998 through 2013. The
382
00:22:07.630 --> 00:22:11.869
year that JP Morgan severed its relationship with him. So
383
00:22:11.910 --> 00:22:14.029
they also want you to believe that the boss of
384
00:22:14.049 --> 00:22:16.819
the whole ass company had no idea about this big
385
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:19.940
time player, Jeffrey Epstein, and never once took a look
386
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:23.859
at his file. I can say that's absolute BS. When
387
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.799
I was managing a sportsbook, forget it. I was going
388
00:22:26.819 --> 00:22:29.529
through files all the time of our players. What their
389
00:22:29.589 --> 00:22:34.029
tendency was, how much money they usually deposited or forwarded over,
390
00:22:34.569 --> 00:22:36.650
how much money they took out when they left.
391
00:22:37.089 --> 00:22:38.190
So I could be prepared.
392
00:22:38.549 --> 00:22:41.950
And as you all know, I'm certainly no financial genius,
393
00:22:42.339 --> 00:22:44.980
all right? Just some dumbass. And if I was doing it,
394
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.160
you mean to tell me that Jamie Dimon never once
395
00:22:48.259 --> 00:22:51.980
cracked open the books for a look? If so, he's negligent.
396
00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:55.559
What else did he miss? And should JP Morgan even
397
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.339
keep him on board? Or should they find somebody that's
398
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:01.099
going to take their job a little more serious when
399
00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:06.170
it comes to compliance? Epstein died six years later from suicide, allegedly,
400
00:23:06.410 --> 00:23:09.910
in a New York jail a month after federal authorities
401
00:23:09.990 --> 00:23:13.529
charged him with trafficking girls for sex. You know what's
402
00:23:13.549 --> 00:23:16.150
so crazy? All the people that are like gung-ho to
403
00:23:16.170 --> 00:23:20.400
believe the official narrative about Jeffrey Epstein dying of suicide,
404
00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:24.200
like you see in these articles, when they say it definitively,
405
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.160
and then they'll say, well, you know, that's what the
406
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.099
county coroner said. That's what the medical advisor said. Until
407
00:23:30.140 --> 00:23:33.299
the next time there's a situation... and it doesn't run
408
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.960
with their bias. And then all of a sudden, oh, well,
409
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:39.599
what are you going to believe the government? So it's
410
00:23:39.660 --> 00:23:42.660
either you believe what these people are telling you, meaning
411
00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:46.880
the government, or you're skeptical of just about everything they
412
00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:49.259
have to say. And I know where I fall at
413
00:23:49.299 --> 00:23:52.099
this point, and I'm sure you all know where I
414
00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:55.779
fall at this point. Enough with the BS, enough with
415
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:59.619
no transparency. It's about time that they just step up
416
00:24:00.130 --> 00:24:04.450
and show everybody everything they have, and let's see what's what,
417
00:24:04.569 --> 00:24:09.109
let the chips fall where they may. Because covering things up, obfuscating,
418
00:24:09.470 --> 00:24:12.740
and acting like nothing bad happened in that jail cell
419
00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:17.460
or in that jailhouse is absolutely absurd, and truly is
420
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:18.619
cognitive dissonance.
421
00:24:20.140 --> 00:24:22.640
J.P. Morgan pushes back. J.P.
422
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:25.930
Morgan, in a related complaint, has said that any civil
423
00:24:25.970 --> 00:24:30.269
liability it would have from Epstein's conduct is the responsibility
424
00:24:30.450 --> 00:24:33.589
of its former executive, Jeff Staley, who is a friend
425
00:24:33.630 --> 00:24:38.009
of Epstein and his main business contact at the bank. Staley,
426
00:24:38.329 --> 00:24:42.250
who also denies any wrongdoing, earlier this week lost a
427
00:24:42.289 --> 00:24:46.549
bid to dismiss JP Morgan's complaint against him, which, among
428
00:24:46.670 --> 00:24:51.230
other things, seeks to recoup $ 80 million in compensation from him.
429
00:24:51.730 --> 00:24:54.299
So that's just the first firing shot by them.
430
00:24:54.700 --> 00:24:56.680
They also want him to be on the line for
431
00:24:56.819 --> 00:25:01.069
any sort of penalty they might incur because of the
432
00:25:01.089 --> 00:25:05.789
bank's relationship with Epstein. So remember, the whole entire plan
433
00:25:05.869 --> 00:25:10.150
from J.P. Morgan is not us. It's everybody else's fault
434
00:25:10.430 --> 00:25:13.309
but ours. And while that may be true, everybody else
435
00:25:13.410 --> 00:25:17.490
might have been involved, so were they. In addition to
436
00:25:17.529 --> 00:25:20.549
trying to shift blame to Staley, J.P. Morgan this week
437
00:25:20.609 --> 00:25:23.690
in a court filing accused the Virgin Islands of being
438
00:25:23.710 --> 00:25:28.009
complicit in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. The filing said
439
00:25:28.049 --> 00:25:31.900
the Virgin Islands looked the other way as Epstein trafficked
440
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:36.460
young women because he was given high-ranking officials their money, advice,
441
00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:42.609
and favors. The filing specifically says that Epstein paid tuition
442
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:46.250
for the children of John de Jong and his wife
443
00:25:46.289 --> 00:25:50.769
Cecile when John served as Virgin Islands governor and when
444
00:25:50.829 --> 00:25:54.789
Cecile worked for Epstein managing his companies in the territory.
445
00:25:55.170 --> 00:25:58.579
None of this is disputable. And I remember catching some
446
00:25:58.650 --> 00:26:01.779
flack for my position when it comes to the United
447
00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:05.039
States Virgin Islands, Denise George, and what they were up to.
448
00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:07.339
And it was all based on the fact that they
449
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:10.700
helped Jeffrey Epstein put this whole entire thing in motion.
450
00:26:10.980 --> 00:26:13.160
They helped keep it going. And then the fact that
451
00:26:13.180 --> 00:26:15.349
they had the audacity to try to get some money,
452
00:26:15.630 --> 00:26:17.829
all of a sudden, I'm the asshole, huh? Well, I
453
00:26:17.869 --> 00:26:20.549
guess I'm the asshole. But that doesn't change the fact
454
00:26:20.769 --> 00:26:23.730
that the U.S. Virgin Islands was on one here. And
455
00:26:23.769 --> 00:26:26.630
what they were up to is basically a lick. They
456
00:26:26.650 --> 00:26:30.000
basically took this money, in my opinion. And the fact
457
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:32.299
that it was so easy for them to do so,
458
00:26:32.660 --> 00:26:35.019
they figured they might as well let it rip one
459
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:37.849
more time, throw the dice, and see what happens here.
460
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.849
Another $ 105 million, well, that can really go a long
461
00:26:41.890 --> 00:26:44.269
way to promoting and propagating our.
462
00:26:44.190 --> 00:26:44.930
Corruption, right?
463
00:26:46.220 --> 00:26:50.680
Cecile also allegedly made efforts to secure student visas for
464
00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:54.309
young women connected to Epstein and was his primary conduit
465
00:26:54.529 --> 00:26:59.309
for spreading money and influence throughout the USVI government. The
466
00:26:59.349 --> 00:27:03.509
Washington Post on Friday published details of a deposition earlier
467
00:27:03.549 --> 00:27:08.079
taken by Mary Erdos, who runs JPMorgan's Asset and Wealth
468
00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:13.420
Management Division. Oh boy, Erdos wrote in a 2011 email
469
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:17.460
to another bank executive, after she found out Epstein's status
470
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.579
as a sex offender as a result of his Florida conviction,
471
00:27:21.940 --> 00:27:26.160
had been affirmed, the Washington Post reported. The newspaper said
472
00:27:26.549 --> 00:27:29.829
that was at least the sixth time Erdos had been
473
00:27:29.869 --> 00:27:34.569
alerted to Epstein's criminal or civil legal trouble for sex crimes.
474
00:27:35.190 --> 00:27:38.640
So there's the culpability right there for J.P.
475
00:27:38.660 --> 00:27:39.000
Morgan.
476
00:27:39.579 --> 00:27:42.059
Them trying to weasel their way out It's not going
477
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:42.420
to work.
478
00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:43.880
But I do.
479
00:27:43.779 --> 00:27:46.829
Appreciate the attempt to go down swinging and take down
480
00:27:46.869 --> 00:27:51.410
some other scumbags, which I'm on board for that 100%.
481
00:27:51.410 --> 00:27:52.390
Because the U.S.
482
00:27:52.410 --> 00:27:55.609
Virgin Islands setting themselves up here like they're the hero
483
00:27:56.109 --> 00:27:59.670
is one of the biggest jokes that honestly I've ever seen.
484
00:28:00.430 --> 00:28:03.150
These people are no heroes. If they were heroes, we
485
00:28:03.170 --> 00:28:08.160
wouldn't have civil suits out the wazoo. We'd have criminal
486
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:09.880
complaints making their way.
487
00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:10.420
Through the court.
488
00:28:10.789 --> 00:28:14.599
With Rico attached to it. But instead, what we see,
489
00:28:14.619 --> 00:28:18.660
is just another cash grab. Alright folks, that's going to
490
00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:21.059
do it for me. All of the information that goes
491
00:28:21.099 --> 00:28:24.200
with this episode can be found in the description box.
492
00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:28.119
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
493
00:28:29.299 --> 00:28:32.480
In our previous episode on the topic, we heard that
494
00:28:32.579 --> 00:28:37.980
Jess Staley had alleged that Jamie Dimon was well aware
495
00:28:38.460 --> 00:28:42.670
of the relationship between the bank and Jeffrey Epstein and
496
00:28:42.710 --> 00:28:46.180
the fact that he was retained as a client after
497
00:28:46.500 --> 00:28:51.519
his conviction. Well, now, of course, J.P. Morgan has answered
498
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:55.660
those allegations and they say that it's a bunch of BS.
499
00:28:56.940 --> 00:29:00.079
We talked a little bit about their reply in the
500
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:02.980
last episode, but now they're giving us a little bit
501
00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:06.250
more here and we're getting a little more context as
502
00:29:06.329 --> 00:29:10.240
far as their denial goes and a little more about
503
00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:14.490
the deposition of Jamie Dimon. So, let's just dive into
504
00:29:14.529 --> 00:29:20.970
this article from CNBC and let's keep the conversation going. Headline,
505
00:29:21.450 --> 00:29:25.480
JP Morgan rejects claim that Dimon and Staley discussed Epstein.
506
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:29.640
We believe this is false. The authors of this article
507
00:29:30.099 --> 00:29:35.339
are Dan Mangan and Eamon Javers. And this article, again,
508
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:42.059
was published by CNBC. JPMorgan Chase on Wednesday rejected allegations
509
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:46.220
cited in a new report that CEO Jamie Dimon, for years,
510
00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:51.549
discussed the bank's then-customer, Jeffrey Epstein, a sex predator, with
511
00:29:51.589 --> 00:29:56.450
Jess Daly, who was at the time a top JPMorgan executive. And,
512
00:29:56.529 --> 00:30:00.289
of course, those were the allegations made by Jess Daly
513
00:30:00.690 --> 00:30:03.769
in the article that we talked about earlier. And you
514
00:30:03.829 --> 00:30:07.579
see how important narrative control is here. Right after those
515
00:30:07.650 --> 00:30:11.059
statements go live out in the Wall Street Journal by
516
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:15.000
Jess Daly, well, JP Morgan and their comms team, they
517
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:17.480
have to get out and make a statement to try
518
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:20.579
and get ahead of the statement that Jess Daly has
519
00:30:20.660 --> 00:30:23.619
already made. And this is the sort of contentious nature
520
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:28.380
that you should expect throughout the duration of these legal proceedings,
521
00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:31.839
as both sides tried to blame the other side for
522
00:30:31.900 --> 00:30:35.519
being just a little bit scummier than we were. And
523
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:39.480
that's J.P. Morgan saying, Jeff Staley and his personal relationship
524
00:30:40.259 --> 00:30:42.720
is far worse than the fact that we had this
525
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:44.700
guy at the bank because, you know, we didn't know.
526
00:30:45.289 --> 00:30:49.250
Which is obviously a bunch of BS. We believe this
527
00:30:49.309 --> 00:30:49.809
is false.
528
00:30:50.170 --> 00:30:50.769
There is no.
529
00:30:50.809 --> 00:30:53.829
Evidence that any such communication ever occurred.
530
00:30:54.329 --> 00:30:54.730
Nothing.
531
00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:58.420
In the number of documents reviewed, and nothing in the
532
00:30:58.460 --> 00:31:03.049
nearly dozen depositions taken, including that of her own CEO,
533
00:31:03.509 --> 00:31:08.589
JP Morgan spokeswoman Patricia Wexler said in a statement to CNBC,
534
00:31:09.309 --> 00:31:12.309
The one person who claims that this is true is
535
00:31:12.349 --> 00:31:17.559
currently accused of horrific acts and dishonesty and hasn't been deposed,
536
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:21.400
Wexler said, referring to Staley, and this is what we
537
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:24.660
heard from them earlier today. basically shrugging off the claims
538
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:29.759
and saying that somebody who is being accused of horrific
539
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.789
sexual crimes is not somebody that they would call credible
540
00:31:34.170 --> 00:31:38.049
and not somebody that they would even give any air
541
00:31:38.089 --> 00:31:42.609
to when it comes to making allegations. Now, I think
542
00:31:42.630 --> 00:31:45.779
that's a bit far considering we know that both sides
543
00:31:45.819 --> 00:31:49.119
here are scummy as hell. I don't think listening to
544
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:52.490
either side here is a good idea. The best idea
545
00:31:52.869 --> 00:31:56.029
is to follow along with these court filings, these documents,
546
00:31:56.609 --> 00:32:00.259
and see which way is which. Because both sides are
547
00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:02.859
going to try and craft their own narrative. And then
548
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:05.640
you have the United States Virgin Islands, forget it. They're
549
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:08.799
also engaged in the game of anybody but us. And
550
00:32:08.819 --> 00:32:12.119
when you add all of those ingredients up, you come
551
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:15.690
up with a shit sandwich. And that's exactly what these
552
00:32:15.750 --> 00:32:19.549
proceedings are. You have a three-way, a battle royale here.
553
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:24.039
between the U.S. Virgin Islands, J.P. Morgan, and Jeff Staley
554
00:32:24.460 --> 00:32:28.269
about who the biggest scumbag is. Meanwhile, the real conversation
555
00:32:28.289 --> 00:32:31.569
should be, why was nobody held responsible for all of
556
00:32:31.630 --> 00:32:34.970
these years? And that most certainly includes down in the U.S.
557
00:32:34.990 --> 00:32:38.289
Virgin Islands and the politicians who were elected down there
558
00:32:38.589 --> 00:32:41.470
to stop things like this from happening in the first place.
559
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:46.180
So until they're held responsible, as I've said numerous times,
560
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.150
I don't see how the U.S. Virgin Islands should be
561
00:32:49.190 --> 00:32:52.940
entitled to one single cent of any of this money.
562
00:32:53.819 --> 00:32:57.619
Wexler's comments came hours after the Wall Street Journal published
563
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:01.339
an article saying that Staley, in legal documents, said that
564
00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:05.579
for years he communicated with Diamond about JP Morgan's business
565
00:33:05.859 --> 00:33:09.509
with Epstein. So, somebody is lying. Is it Jeff Staley,
566
00:33:09.890 --> 00:33:13.069
or is it Jamie Diamond? Jamie Diamond sat down for
567
00:33:13.109 --> 00:33:16.049
that deposition, and I'm sure he was asked about this.
568
00:33:16.819 --> 00:33:19.279
If it comes back that he was lying, well, he's
569
00:33:19.299 --> 00:33:22.700
going to have to face some perjury problems. Will it
570
00:33:22.740 --> 00:33:24.549
be a big deal for a guy like Jamie Dimon?
571
00:33:24.750 --> 00:33:27.809
I highly doubt it. But that's the penalty if you
572
00:33:27.869 --> 00:33:31.049
lie under oath. And as far as Jeff Staley goes,
573
00:33:31.869 --> 00:33:34.819
I highly doubt that this guy has ever told the
574
00:33:34.859 --> 00:33:37.859
truth when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein or his weird-ass
575
00:33:37.900 --> 00:33:41.559
relationship with the sicko. Then you look at all of
576
00:33:41.579 --> 00:33:44.980
the information about The code words and him going over
577
00:33:45.019 --> 00:33:47.400
to Epstein's to have a nice dunk in the jacuzzi.
578
00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:51.079
And you tell me, what about any of that seems
579
00:33:51.140 --> 00:33:54.779
normal and not odd? So Staley has still not explained
580
00:33:54.940 --> 00:33:57.240
any of this stuff. Oh, it's a bunch of lies.
581
00:33:57.349 --> 00:34:00.730
We weren't that close. This goofball is one step away
582
00:34:00.809 --> 00:34:04.009
from getting some TV time, getting up there during that
583
00:34:04.049 --> 00:34:07.150
TV time and trying the Jedi mind trick on the
584
00:34:07.190 --> 00:34:08.190
whole entire.
585
00:34:07.849 --> 00:34:10.269
World so that we all forget about his.
586
00:34:10.250 --> 00:34:14.429
Involvement with Epstein. For me, that's how ridiculous all of
587
00:34:14.489 --> 00:34:17.570
these denials are. When we can see with our own
588
00:34:17.730 --> 00:34:21.489
eyes what happened inside of those emails, meaning the conversation,
589
00:34:22.070 --> 00:34:24.989
we hear from all of the people that were around
590
00:34:25.030 --> 00:34:29.159
these idiots. And then the slam home slam dunk for
591
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:33.659
me is the emails between Jeffrey Epstein and Jess Daly.
592
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:36.840
Those aren't the kind of emails that you're sending to
593
00:34:36.900 --> 00:34:40.280
somebody that you're not close to, especially when you're using
594
00:34:40.340 --> 00:34:43.780
code word. And these two Stunads obviously thought that they
595
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:46.639
were the wind talkers. Epstein was a client of the
596
00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:51.219
bank from 1998 to 2013, keeping hundreds of millions of
597
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:55.739
dollars on deposit in multiple accounts. In the documents, Staley
598
00:34:55.780 --> 00:34:59.860
said that Diamond communicated with him when Epstein was arrested
599
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:05.420
in 2006 and in 2008. When Epstein pleaded guilty to
600
00:35:05.460 --> 00:35:10.429
a sex crime in Florida, the Journal reported. Staley also said,
601
00:35:10.789 --> 00:35:14.699
that Diamond communicated with him various times about whether to
602
00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:19.460
maintain Epstein as a client through 2012. And as I've
603
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.820
stated before, that certainly tracks with me. I highly doubt
604
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:26.260
that a guy like Jamie Diamond is leaving it up
605
00:35:26.300 --> 00:35:31.039
to his subordinates to make these onboarding decisions or offboarding decisions.
606
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:35.380
We're talking about hundreds of millions, billions of dollars. And
607
00:35:35.420 --> 00:35:37.900
I don't care how much you're trusted. I don't care
608
00:35:38.179 --> 00:35:41.659
how much you're valued by the company. There's going to
609
00:35:41.699 --> 00:35:44.219
be people above you that are going to want to
610
00:35:44.260 --> 00:35:44.980
check your work.
611
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:46.179
And they're going to want to.
612
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:49.519
Make sure that whatever deals you're getting involved in are
613
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:52.800
beneficial to the bank. So again, it's only two things
614
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:56.059
when it comes to Jamie Dimon. Either it's negligence or
615
00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:59.340
he's lying. And either way, it's a bad look. And
616
00:35:59.380 --> 00:36:01.739
if I was a shareholder, I would demand that he
617
00:36:01.780 --> 00:36:04.050
steps down. Have you taken a look at their stock
618
00:36:04.090 --> 00:36:07.500
price today? They're getting absolutely hammered. Now, does that mean
619
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:10.519
anything in the long run? Probably not. We're talking about
620
00:36:10.860 --> 00:36:13.719
JP Morgan here. But at the end of the day,
621
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:18.079
as a stockholder, I wouldn't be confident in Jamie Dimon
622
00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:22.400
leading the company, leading the bank towards a profitable future,
623
00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:27.099
especially considering he's showing this lack of judgment in the
624
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:29.820
way he was handling Jeffrey Epstein and a guy with
625
00:36:29.900 --> 00:36:34.719
such disgusting character. So why would anyone have confidence in
626
00:36:34.739 --> 00:36:36.099
this dude moving forward?
627
00:36:36.500 --> 00:36:37.380
I don't understand.
628
00:36:38.539 --> 00:36:40.639
Epstein served more than a year in jail, if you
629
00:36:40.659 --> 00:36:43.900
want to call it that, for soliciting sex from a minor,
630
00:36:44.260 --> 00:36:47.019
a case that was widely reported at the time.
631
00:36:47.300 --> 00:36:48.500
Oh yeah, widely reported.
632
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:53.260
You mean reported as exactly that, right? The legacy media
633
00:36:53.340 --> 00:36:55.840
ran cover for this dude at the time, and they
634
00:36:55.900 --> 00:36:59.500
reported it like it was just a regular situation where
635
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:03.199
a dude who is a billionaire solicited a girl for
636
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:07.329
some sex. And if it was under regular circumstances, some
637
00:37:07.389 --> 00:37:11.389
regular guy out there trying to find a prostitute, then hey, look,
638
00:37:11.650 --> 00:37:12.710
how many dudes have done that?
639
00:37:13.510 --> 00:37:14.130
No big deal.
640
00:37:14.510 --> 00:37:17.179
And that's the way that the media tried to frame this.
641
00:37:17.579 --> 00:37:20.239
And that's why Epstein was so adamant about getting the
642
00:37:20.300 --> 00:37:23.030
charge moved to what it was. Because if he was
643
00:37:23.070 --> 00:37:25.429
charged federally with the crimes that they wanted to hit
644
00:37:25.449 --> 00:37:28.150
him with, well, he couldn't say, look, it was only
645
00:37:28.230 --> 00:37:31.670
for solicitation. It wasn't that big of a deal. I mean,
646
00:37:31.710 --> 00:37:34.449
who hasn't done it? Because now there's a whole slew
647
00:37:34.809 --> 00:37:38.260
of other federal charges that are much, much worse than
648
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:41.219
what we saw. And that was the whole point of
649
00:37:41.260 --> 00:37:43.679
that plea deal. And that was the whole point of
650
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:47.840
bringing in that powerful legal team that he surrounded himself
651
00:37:47.900 --> 00:37:51.219
with down in Florida. When thinking about Jeffrey Epstein and
652
00:37:51.260 --> 00:37:54.280
you're thinking about his plots... Remember that as much of
653
00:37:54.340 --> 00:37:56.820
a piece of shit as he was, the guy was
654
00:37:56.889 --> 00:38:00.489
very calculating and he had a lot of the moving
655
00:38:00.570 --> 00:38:04.230
parts that he needed inside of the machine to do
656
00:38:04.710 --> 00:38:07.050
what he wanted to do. And one of the most
657
00:38:07.130 --> 00:38:10.360
crucial parts of that is narrative control. And if you
658
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:13.440
can control what the media is saying about you for
659
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.619
the most part, then you're going to have some easier
660
00:38:16.699 --> 00:38:20.380
waters to navigate as you try and rehabilitate your image.
661
00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:25.369
The Journal also reported that it had seen documents indicating
662
00:38:25.389 --> 00:38:29.070
that Diamond and Staley had a meeting scheduled with Epstein
663
00:38:29.429 --> 00:38:34.150
on March 2nd, 2010. JP Morgan told the newspaper that
664
00:38:34.230 --> 00:38:36.789
Diamond did not attend that meeting and that it was
665
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:40.420
not on the CEO's calendar. Well, that's the end of it, folks.
666
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:45.639
We've been told that Jamie Diamond, Mr. Honesty himself, didn't
667
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:47.800
go to that meeting. And if you want to refer
668
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:50.929
to his calendar, you most certainly can. I mean, really,
669
00:38:50.969 --> 00:38:53.710
who believes that? Oh yeah, look, I didn't do it.
670
00:38:53.940 --> 00:38:54.840
Well, what's your proof?
671
00:38:55.260 --> 00:38:57.760
I'm telling you, I didn't do it. And the sad
672
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:01.050
part is, when you're somebody like Jamie Dimon, more times
673
00:39:01.090 --> 00:39:05.170
than not, that's acceptable. People just take that at face value.
674
00:39:05.610 --> 00:39:06.030
Oh, Mr.
675
00:39:06.070 --> 00:39:08.429
Dimon's so successful, he wouldn't BS me.
676
00:39:08.809 --> 00:39:09.309
Yeah, right.
677
00:39:09.530 --> 00:39:13.300
This dude's out here spinning more tails than Dr. fucking Seuss.
678
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:18.210
Diamond was deposed on Friday for two civil lawsuits in U.S.
679
00:39:18.230 --> 00:39:22.869
District Court in Manhattan against the bank accusing JPMorgan of
680
00:39:22.949 --> 00:39:29.050
enabling and financially benefiting from sex trafficking by Epstein. One
681
00:39:29.110 --> 00:39:32.179
suit was filed by... the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands,
682
00:39:32.420 --> 00:39:36.380
where Epstein maintained a residence on a private island. The
683
00:39:36.420 --> 00:39:39.590
other complaint was filed by an Epstein accuser who is
684
00:39:39.659 --> 00:39:42.860
seeking to make her complaint a class action suit on
685
00:39:42.900 --> 00:39:46.159
behalf of the other women. And we've talked about that
686
00:39:46.219 --> 00:39:49.679
as well, and Judge Rakoff certainly looks like he is
687
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:52.199
going to make that move. And if he certifies it
688
00:39:52.500 --> 00:39:55.380
as a class action suit, the waters are going to
689
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:57.420
get a bit choppier for J.P.
690
00:39:57.460 --> 00:39:57.800
Morgan.
691
00:39:58.530 --> 00:40:01.969
The suit against JP Morgan by an Epstein accuser alleges
692
00:40:02.050 --> 00:40:06.469
that Staley knew without any doubt that Epstein was trafficking
693
00:40:06.809 --> 00:40:10.550
and abusing girls. JP Morgan has claimed in a court
694
00:40:10.570 --> 00:40:14.750
filing that Staley is the person identified without being named
695
00:40:15.030 --> 00:40:18.929
in that suit as using aggressive force and sexually assaulting
696
00:40:19.190 --> 00:40:22.510
an Epstein accuser. Hell of a guy, huh? Hell of
697
00:40:22.570 --> 00:40:26.699
an employee. And remember, this dude was employed by J.P.
698
00:40:26.739 --> 00:40:29.480
Morgan for how long? Nobody else knew that he was
699
00:40:29.539 --> 00:40:32.519
a sicko, huh? Came to work every day, a real
700
00:40:32.739 --> 00:40:37.139
lunch bucket kind of guy. Staley denies any wrongdoing and
701
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:41.360
having known about Epstein's abuse of young women. Deutsche Bank,
702
00:40:41.420 --> 00:40:45.940
which became Epstein's bank in 2013 after J.P. Morgan severed
703
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:48.960
ties with them on the heels of Staley's exit from
704
00:40:49.019 --> 00:40:53.460
the bank, earlier this month agreed to settle for $ 75 million,
705
00:40:53.900 --> 00:40:57.610
a lawsuit by another Epstein accuser. That deal will benefit
706
00:40:57.809 --> 00:41:01.110
other women who were victimized by Epstein during the time
707
00:41:01.329 --> 00:41:05.889
he was at Deutsche Bank. JP Morgan, which denies any wrongdoing,
708
00:41:06.139 --> 00:41:10.320
has alleged in legal filings that Staley is responsible for
709
00:41:10.579 --> 00:41:14.739
any civil liability arising from Epstein's use of funds he
710
00:41:14.780 --> 00:41:17.530
had on deposit at the bank to send young women
711
00:41:17.769 --> 00:41:20.989
to the Virgin Islands and elsewhere to be abused by
712
00:41:21.050 --> 00:41:26.070
him and others. Wexler, last week, said after Diamond's deposition,
713
00:41:26.369 --> 00:41:30.469
our CEO reaffirmed after his deposition that, as he has
714
00:41:30.550 --> 00:41:34.130
previously said, he never met with him, never emailed him,
715
00:41:34.429 --> 00:41:38.269
does not recall ever discussing his accounts internally, and was
716
00:41:38.309 --> 00:41:42.170
not involved in any decisions about his account. So what
717
00:41:42.230 --> 00:41:45.449
exactly does Jamie Diamond do all day? Does he go
718
00:41:45.489 --> 00:41:48.170
down to the helps all and sit around and eat sushi?
719
00:41:48.869 --> 00:41:52.650
Is he doing a workout? Some Pilates maybe? Because he
720
00:41:52.690 --> 00:41:55.130
doesn't seem like he has his finger on the pulse
721
00:41:55.150 --> 00:41:58.949
of his company. When one of your biggest accounts, Jeffrey Epstein,
722
00:41:59.489 --> 00:42:01.929
is rolling around in the mud and you act like
723
00:42:01.969 --> 00:42:04.119
you have nothing to do with it, like you have
724
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:07.179
no idea about any of it. Well, what are we
725
00:42:07.219 --> 00:42:10.780
supposed to think? There are over a million pages of
726
00:42:10.900 --> 00:42:14.280
emails and other documents that have been produced in this case,
727
00:42:14.659 --> 00:42:18.039
and not one comes close to even suggesting that he
728
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:22.090
had any role in decisions about Epstein's accounts, Wexler said.
729
00:42:22.989 --> 00:42:26.030
As we have said, we now know that Epstein's behavior
730
00:42:26.269 --> 00:42:30.989
was monstrous and his victims deserve justice. In hindsight, any
731
00:42:31.030 --> 00:42:34.780
association with him was a mistake, and we regret it.
732
00:42:35.190 --> 00:42:38.269
But these suits are misdirected as we did not help
733
00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:40.050
him commit his heinous crimes.
734
00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:42.639
No, you facilitated it, though. Same thing.
735
00:42:42.820 --> 00:42:45.440
You enabled it. You are the banker. You are the
736
00:42:45.460 --> 00:42:48.840
people pumping his gross ass money through the heart of
737
00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:52.900
the financial sector for your own benefit. It doesn't get
738
00:42:52.940 --> 00:42:57.789
much clearer than that. Epstein, 66, killed himself in a
739
00:42:57.809 --> 00:43:02.230
Manhattan jail in August 2019, allegedly, a month after federal
740
00:43:02.289 --> 00:43:08.289
authorities arrested and charged him with child sex trafficking. Diamond
741
00:43:08.530 --> 00:43:13.710
has expressed regret that J.P. Morgan did business with Jeffrey Epstein.
742
00:43:14.670 --> 00:43:17.110
I am so sad that we had any relationship to
743
00:43:17.130 --> 00:43:21.750
that man whatsoever, the CEO told Bloomberg in an interview
744
00:43:22.190 --> 00:43:25.820
on May 11th. You know, we had top lawyers evaluating
745
00:43:26.019 --> 00:43:30.699
from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Enforcement, the Department
746
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:33.860
of Justice, you know, and obviously, had we known then
747
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:37.320
what we know now, we would have done things differently,
748
00:43:37.619 --> 00:43:40.239
Diamond said. And you know what's so funny about that statement?
749
00:43:40.820 --> 00:43:42.949
Just before he says that, he says he had the
750
00:43:42.989 --> 00:43:47.500
top lawyers, this one, that one, everybody. but the Apostle
751
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:51.400
Paul looking into who Jeffrey Epstein was or into accounts.
752
00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:55.219
But somehow, someway, this one slipped the dragnet and he
753
00:43:55.260 --> 00:43:58.280
just happened to have connections to all these powerful people.
754
00:43:58.809 --> 00:44:00.110
Just another coincidence, huh?
755
00:44:00.489 --> 00:44:03.789
Like the guards falling asleep, like the cameras not working,
756
00:44:04.349 --> 00:44:09.150
like Nicholas Tartaglione being in a jail cell with Jeffrey Epstein.
757
00:44:09.769 --> 00:44:13.570
It's all coincidence, folks. Nothing to see here, says the
758
00:44:13.630 --> 00:44:17.769
circus master as he enters the tent. All right, folks,
759
00:44:17.789 --> 00:44:19.510
that's going to do it for this one. All of
760
00:44:19.530 --> 00:44:22.320
the information that goes with the episode can be found
761
00:44:22.699 --> 00:44:23.639
in the description box.
