JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and Board Successfully Defeat Epstein Lawsuit

A federal judge has dismissed a shareholder lawsuit accusing JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and his board of directors of ignoring red flags surrounding disgraced former client Jeffrey Epstein. The judge ruled that the shareholders failed to first address their concerns with the bank's board before suing. The specific accusations about the bank's relationship with Epstein were not addressed in the ruling. The judge is also overseeing two other Epstein-related lawsuits against JPMorgan.

Former JPMorgan executive to be tried in Epstein case alongside co-defendants.

A U.S. judge has rejected requests to sever JPMorgan Chase & Co's lawsuit accusing former executive Jes Staley of concealing what he knew about Jeffrey Epstein from two related lawsuits over its work for the late sex offender. The decision is a defeat for Staley, who said the scheduled Oct. 23 trial for all three cases left him too little time to defend against JPMorgan's "slanderous" accusations. It is also a defeat for women who claim that Epstein sexually abused them and are suing the largest U.S. bank.
