JP Morgan Chase flagged over 4700 suspicious transactions totaling more than $1 billion after Jeffrey Epstein’s death, involving US business figures and Russian banks.
The suspicious activity report (SAR) was filed in 2019.
Just weeks after Jeffrey Epstein died in jail in 2019, JP Morgan Chase warned the Trump administration in the US about ‘suspicious transactions’ of more than $1 billion involving several high-profile US business figures, as well as wire transfers to Russian banks. According to newly unsealed court records, JP Morgan flagged over 4,700 transactions.
The suspicious activity report (SAR) was filed in 2019, just weeks after Epstein was found dead in a New York jail cell. The data from this report emerged this week.
As per a report by The New York Times, the total 4,700 transactions totalled more than $1 billion, allegedly related to reports of human trafficking involving Epstein.
As per the SAR report, Epstein engaged with numerous related companies, Wall Street titans, his former lawyer, and others from October 2003 until July 2019. Two accounts included in the report were linked to Russian banks, Alfa Bank and Sberbank.
Reportedly, the names highlighted in the SAR are: Leon Black, co-founder of private equity firm Apollo Global Management and former MoMA chairman; billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin; celebrity attorney Alan Dershowitz; and trusts linked to retail magnate Leslie Wexner.
Epstein was arrested in July 2019 and charged with sex trafficking underage girls. He died weeks later by suicide in the Metropolitan Correctional Center while awaiting trial.
