Epstein bank records sought by top House Democrat from Jamie Dimon, other CEOs

[douglas9]

A top House Democrat asked four major bank CEOs to share a slew of financial records related to Jeffrey Epstein, pushing forward an investigation into the notorious sex predator, after the lawmaker’s effort to subpoena the banks for the documents was blocked by Republicans.

House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., in letters to the CEOs obtained by CNBC, asked how Epstein and his co-conspirators could have conducted a reported $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions “for years without ever being caught.”

The letters were sent on Wednesday to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Bank of America chief Brian Moynihan, Deutsche Bank leader Christian Sewing and Bank of New York Mellon CEO Robin Vince.

1. Without a subpoena? Good luck with that, congressman Raskin

I mean that, I hope he has good luck, but I very much suspect the reply will be "we don't know what report you're talking about and we don't know anything about any suspicious transactions".

The one exception may be JP Morgan Chase, and that's because they were already successfully sued for $290,000,000 by a group of survivors, and by the US Virgin Islands for $40M+. This means they've probably already opened their books in the way Raskin is asking for.

The survivors primary winning gambit in that JPMC case was that Epstein was so frequently taking out large sums of cash money, it should raised red flags from the bank. Presumably, the victims showed (or at least credibly claimed) that some or all of these regular $10K in cash withdrawals (like weekly I think it was at one time) was being used to pay for his "massages". Therefore the bank was guilty of malfeasance for not having done something they legally should have in such instances (I'm not sure what that would be, but it was apparently "something" ).

Not sure how these things all work, but I wonder if Raskin might have more luck by contacting the court in which that trial took place and/or the survivors attorney(s), because as I say, JPMC obviously divulged enough financial stuff in that civil case for them to end up on the losing end of a $290M settlement.

2. The Repubican's Pedo Protection Posse will block this

for sure.

3. They already did, says so in the blurb

They can't block Raskin from sending these banks letters. They just don't have to do anything, legally.

And for the record, I don't buy into the whole "organized cabal of rich pedos being supplied young girls by Epstein" conspiracy theory. I know this raises many hackles and that I'm practically alone in this thinking on DU, but I'm honestly pretty confident there's no such thing, and never was. Note that I'm specifically referring to the "organized cabal" aspects of the storyline

There WERE, however, a lot of people who KNEW, but didn't say shit. Trump being one of them. I also think Trump may have tried to blackmail Epstein with that information, and that is what he's so afraid of having come out. In fact, I think that's what the infamous birthday card actually was. A threat of blackmail, because Epstein knew of Trump's money-laundering for the Russians at the time. Which is another thing Trump doesn't want in the news.
