Jamie Dimon loves child sex trafficking money

To get up to speed, here are some facts about Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with J.P. Morgan:

• Jeffrey Epstein was a J.P. Morgan client for 15 years, with Jamie Dimon serving as CEO for the last seven of those years and Epstein being a convicted sex offender (after pleading guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution in a sweetheart deal) for the last five of those years. 
• Epstein kept hundreds of millions of dollars in over 134 accounts from which the bank processed more than $1 billion in transactions for him (much of that going or coming from overseas).
• The bank paid him tens of millions of dollars because he was “the biggest revenue generator among investor clients in the private-banking division.”
• They allowed him to take out millions of dollars in cash without the legally required step of reporting it to federal regulators, which investigators later showed he used to pay young women and teenagers.
• Executives joked about the number of “nymphettes” at his house, but appreciated the world leaders and billionaires he introduced to the bank. 
• Executives fielded several suspicious activity reports, or SARs, from over four dozen employees and did nothing, despite being legally required to report them, revealing deficiencies in the bank’s own processes (or in the moral judgement of those executives).
• JPM opened accounts for two young women (at Epstein’s request) without actually speaking to either of them.
• JPM gave financial backing of at least $1 million to Epstein in order to help he and Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling scout, open a modeling agency called MC2. They used it to lure underage models with promises of modeling work. The company’s former bookkeeper admitted it wasn’t a successful business or functioning agency and that the “only reason Mr. Epstein was involved was because of the girls, I think, because it was not a profitable business.” Brunel was accused of raping unerage girls and committed suicude while waiting for trial, which sounds a lot like how Epstein died. What a coincidence. 

More facts can be found in this article, an excellent, comprehensive account of J.P. Morgan and how they enabled Epstein. One of the main reasons Epstein was a client for so long is Jes Staley, the No. 2 executive at J.P. Morgan behind Jamie Dimon since 2004. He was Epstein’s close friend for years and someone who went to bat for Epstein multiple times when the bank was considering dropping him as a client. But Staley, another rich pervert, seemed to really enjoy what Epstein could do for him, as highlighted by this interaction: ““That was fun. Say hi to Snow White,” Staley emailed in 2010. Epstein responded by asking which character he would like next. “Beauty and the Beast,” Staley answered.” It comes as no surprise that Staley later admitted to having sex with one of Epstein’s assistants (the year before that conversation), despite being married with two daughters. 

And what does Jamie Dimon have to say about this disgusting cheater? “Jes has impeccable character and integrity.” Dimon apparently doesn’t have a lot else to say, seeing as he claimed under oath that he “did not recall” discussing Epstein’s accounts with anyone at the bank, despite a profile of him saying “Dimon seemingly meddles in every detail.” Staley said under oath that the two talked over the phone and in person regarding Epstein. There were also internal documents regarding Epstein labeled as “pending Dimon review” and “for Jamie.” David Boies, one of the attorneys representing Epstein’s victims, said that either Dimon knew about Epstein and lied in a sworn deposition or his executives (that reported directly to the known micromanager) didn’t tell their boss. “Neither is good,” Boies said.

And neither is anywhere close to acceptable for the leader of the bank with the largest market capitalization in the world. J.P. Morgan clients, do you feel safe with your money being managed by someone who lies under oath or a banker that doesn’t know anything about his largest clients or how they make their money? Is a person that purposely breaks federal law trustworthy of your savings and investments? Is that an ideal partner for your business? Maybe if you are a child sex trafficker and rapist. “JPM was his true partner,” said Bradley Edwards, another attorney representing Epstein’s victims. 

And what price did the bank pay? A total of $365 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands and to Epstein victims. A lot of money to most, a rounding error to a bank with $54 billion in profits last year, and an insult to the victims. They also didn’t admit wrongdoing, no one lost their jobs, and their “commitments” to fight human trafficking are nothing more than “ongoing good faith efforts” and are “not contractual commitments.” Bridgette Carr, a law professor and human-trafficking expert who analyzed J.P. Morgan’s role in Epstein’s activities, said “I am deeply worried here that the ultimate message to other financial institutions is that they can keep serving traffickers. It’s still profitable to do that, given the lack of substantial consequences.” How many other child sex traffickers is Jamie Dimon aiding? And why are Republicans aiding him?

Raping kids and escaping bids

Leon Black

Senator Ron Wyden’s “Follow the Money” investigation is also targeting billionaire Leon Black, who paid Epstein a reported $170 million for tax and estate planning services, despite the dead pedophile having no education, experience, or training in those fields. So why would a billionaire pay such a huge sum of money to a registered sex offender that pled guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution four years earlier? Black is also a despicable person. A despicable person that has been accused by multiple women of rape. A despicable person who was never audited by the IRS for his financial dealings with Epstein. A despicable person whose son is being nominated to join the Trump administration, the same administration who is blocking Wyden’s investigation and shielding Black from accountability. 

Is it because Black and Trump took a trip to Russia together and have deep ties to the totalitarian country? Trump’s ties are so deep that “the special counsel who finished the investigation, Robert S. Mueller III, secured three dozen indictments and convictions of some top Trump advisers, and he produced a report that outlined Russia’s wide-ranging operations to help get Mr. Trump elected and the president’s efforts to impede the inquiry. But law enforcement officials never fully investigated Mr. Trump’s own relationship with Russia, even though some career F.B.I. counterintelligence investigators thought his ties posed such a national security threat that they took the extraordinary step of opening an inquiry into them. Within days, the former deputy attorney general Rod J. Rosenstein curtailed the investigation without telling the bureau, all but ensuring it would go nowhere.”

So what was Black paying Epstein for? Black paid 0.006% of his net worth in a settlement to the US Virgin Islands for immunity regarding his role in Epstein’s operations, even after Wyden’s evidence and Black’s own admittance that his money did “partially fund (Epstein’s) operations in the Virgin Islands.” Leon Black’s money paid for the trafficking of children for sex with wealthy men and he’s walking around with impunity while his buddy Trump refuses to release the files.

Alexander Acosta

After an investigation by local police, Palm Beach prosecutors wanted to charge Epstein with aggravated assault, “which would have meant no jail time, no requirement that he register as a sex offender and no guaranteed restitution for victims.” Fortunately, local investigators approached the U.S. Attorney in Florida to open a federal case to get the victims the justice they deserved. Unfortunately, that U.S. Attorney was Alex Acosta. 

It’s unfortunate because despite Jeffrey Epstein being investigated for the sexual abuse of over 40 teenage girls and despite that investigation was still finding more victims and despite federal prosecutors having a 53 page, 60 count indictment prepared and despite that indictment having the potential to put the worst child sex trafficker in history in prison for life, Acosta gave Epstein a “sweetheart deal.” What was so sweet about it? Even though they had plenty of evidence to put Epstein away for the rest of his life with federal charges, Acosta oversaw the deal that only included state charges and granted Epstein and his named and unnamed co-conspirators immunity from federal charges. Epstein only spent 13 months in jail and was allowed to leave for 12 hours per day, six days per week to spend time in his office. For sexually abusing and trafficking at least 40 underage girls. 

Those victims were completely unaware of the plea deal Acosta made because he violated the Crime Victims’ Rights Act of 2004 by not consulting them throughout the process. He only let them know after the deal was already done. He later admitted that some of the victims wouldn’t testify because they were being threatened, which tracks with court records that show Acosta declined to charge Epstein with two counts of obstruction, one of them for trying to convince a victim not to talk to investigators. 

As a U.S. Attorney, why would Acosta show favorable treatment to a child rapist who is threatening victims into silence and not to perform the legal bare minimum for those same victims he is supposed to be fighting for? Was it because Epstein’s high powered legal team was composed of Acosta’s former coworkers in that same U.S. Attorney’s office and another private law firm? Or were they trying to cover something up? Why else would he negotiate a plea during an investigation and keep it a secret?

All that corruption and protecting pedophiles made Acosta an obvious candidate for the first Trump administration. He was brought on as Labor Secretary where he continued to protect pedophiles. In his proposed budget for the Department of Labor in 2020, he planned to cut the funding of the International Labor Affairs Bureau (ILAB) by 80%, from $68 million to $18.5 million. What is one of the responsibilities of this department? To combat child sex trafficking. In fact, “experts say any major cut to ILAB would be a direct threat to the US government’s ability to combat the sexual exploitation of children.” But Acosta and Trump already knew that.

The Miami Herald and the incredible work of heroine Julie K. Brown led to Acosta resigning as Labor Secretary, despite Trump feeling “very badly” for him (but not the actual victims). Acosta currently sits on the board of Newsmax, a partner of Donald Trump. 

John Casablancas

The obituary of John Casablancas said that he had a preference for “child women.” So that’s how we’re starting this one off.

He also ran Elite Model Management in the 80s and 90s, an agency that helped launch the careers of many famous models. An Elite model said that Trump asked her out to dinner. When she told him that she was 17 years old, he responded by saying “That’s just great – you’re not too old, not too young.” A former model also reported that the agency forced them to go out to dinner with Trump and Casablancas. That model was 16 at the time. And it only gets way, way worse from here.

Elite organized the Look of the Year competition and, in 1991 and 1992, Donald Trump was a sponsor and judge, even offering his hotel to accommodate the contestants. Before the 1992 competition began (where the average age was 15), everyone involved with the competition boarded a chartered cruise and the contestants, as young as 14 years old, danced for Trump (then 45) and some of the other judges. Despite not being part of the official competition, this was mandatory, with one of the contestants recalling “I knew in my gut it wasn’t right. This wasn’t being judged or part of the competition – it was for their entertainment.” After all, Casablancas told the models they were being judged on, among other things, their “sense of cooperation.” As creepy as that sounds, it takes on a more predatory meaning when former contestants described many of the young girls as “poor” and “desperate.”

Another part of the entertainment for Trump, Casablancas, and the other older men were the “after hours” parties. “It was very clear that there were opportunities to go out and party with Donald,” a former model said. There were hints “that if you were nice to certain people, good things will happen to you, and I think that’s why girls were going out”. A former reporter who also attended these parties said, “I saw girls sitting on guys’ laps, and I remember one guy putting his hand down a girl’s top. I remember thinking they were younger than me, and I was 17 going on 18.” The contestants were served alcohol at these events, most likely to amplify their “sense of cooperation.”

The Look of the Year competition was one of the many where Trump would find an excuse to go backstage while the contestants were changing clothes. One model was told “If you’re over twenty-one you don’t have to worry.” Trump walked into the dressing room during the 1997 Miss Teen USA pageant when girls as young as 15 were naked. When one of them told his daughter Ivanka, her response was “Yeah, he does that.” How do the models feel? “We were afraid to say anything bad when he was around because we didn’t want anything to hurt our chances of winning…we were all young teenagers.” And how did Trump feel? “I’m allowed to go in, because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it. You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody OK?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that.”

Why does all of this matter in a blog post about Trump’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein? Rampant pedophilia aside, in 1990, John Casablancas sent a 15 year old model to a photo shoot where she was photographed naked and then raped by the photographer…Jeffrey Epstein. This was two years after Casablancas sexually assaulted another 15 year old and then made her get an abortion. A lawsuit for that rape was filed in 2002, and in 2004, John Casablancas was on the board of Trump Realty Brazil, working with him yet again. 

And after all of this history with John Casablancas that spans decades, multiple business ventures and countries, and drunk, “desperate” teenage girls, Donald Trump claims through his representatives that he “hardly knew him, spent very little time with him, and knew very little about him.” What a coincidence.
