JPMorgan Chase & Co. asked a judge to throw out a US Virgin Islands lawsuit that claims the bank turned a blind eye to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking, calling the allegation a “masterclass in deflection.”
“Having sought and obtained more than $100 million from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate and businesses for damages caused by his sex-trafficking crimes, the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) now casts farther afield for deeper pockets,” the bank said in a court filing Wednesday.
