Why JPMorgan is being sued over ties to Jeffrey Epstein
It\u2019s been nearly four years since Jeffrey Epstein died in jail while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. Yet more of his ties to the world\u2019s rich and powerful are still being uncovered, and attempts to obtain some measure of accountability continue. \n\nOne route is through Epstein\u2019s former bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co., which is currently embroiled in two lawsuits, including one from the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein kept an estate. \n\nThe Virgin Islands has issued subpoenas to a number of billionaires in connection with the case \u2013 including Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and more recently, embattled Tesla CEO Elon Musk. And there are new revelations about Epstein\u2019s relationship with Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates. \n\nToday, Wall Street Journal reporter David Benoit speaks with guest host Alex Panetta about these lawsuits, Epstein\u2019s history with America\u2019s biggest bank and what we\u2019re still learning about the convicted sex offender\u2019s web, years after his death.\n\nFor transcripts of this series, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
