JPMorgan Chase facilitated over $1.1 million in payments from Jeffrey Epstein to "girls or women," despite having fired the convicted sex offender as a client, an attorney representing the US Virgin Islands told a judge on Monday.
Many of the girls had Eastern European surnames, according to a filing by attorney Linda Singer to Manhattan federal judge Jed Rakoff.
Over $320,000 of the payments were made to "numerous individuals for whom JPMorgan had no previously identified payments," Singer wrote, accusing the bank of failing to disclose the payments until after the end of discovery - the period in which parties in a lawsuit exchange evidence.
Singer has since asked Rakoff to impose monetary damages on the bank for failing to provide the information during discovery, and order the bank to turn over "all financial records for any newly disclosed girls or women to whom Epstein made payments," CNBC reports.
