Jeffrey Epstein Accuser Seeks Testimony from JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon in Lawsuit
In a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase concerning its association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, lawyers representing a victim of Epstein have requested new testimony from JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon.
The lawyers allege that JPMorgan deliberately withheld documents necessary for questioning during previous depositions. Hindering their ability to address important issues.
The accuser, known as Jane Doe, claims that the bank facilitated and financially benefited from Epstein’s sex trafficking activities.
JPMorgan denies any wrongdoing but expresses regret for having Epstein as a client.
The lawyers are seeking to reopen the depositions of JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, Mary Erdoes (CEO of JPMorgan’s asset and wealth management division).
Mary Casey (Epstein’s former banker at JPMorgan), and an unidentified JPMorgan representative.
The request stems from the late production of documents after the initial depositions were completed.
These documents reportedly shed light on Epstein’s relationship with JPMorgan. And raise questions about the bank’s knowledge and response to red flags.
The accuser’s lawyers argue that timely access to these documents would have influenced their line of questioning during Dimon’s deposition.
