JPMorgan implicates US Virgin Islands officials in Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

JPMorgan Chase has alleged that Jeffrey Epstein paid school tuition for the children of the then-governor of the US Virgin Islands, John de Jongh Jr, and offered to fund his defense in a criminal case. Epstein also gave top officials in the territory money, advice, and favors as they looked the other way when he trafficked young women there. The allegations were made in a filing in US District Court in Manhattan as part of JPMorgan's defense of a civil lawsuit by the US Virgin Islands alleging the bank facilitated Epstein's sex trafficking of young women.
