Virgin Islands government subpoenas multiple banks for Jeffrey Epstein's financial records

https://abcnews.go.com/US/virgin-islands-government-subpoenas-multiple-banks-jeffrey-epsteins/story?id=72018117&cid=social_twitter_abcn




The government of the U.S. Virgin Islands is upping the ante in its quest to pierce the veil of secrecy that cloaked the life and wealth of financier Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex-offender who accrued a fortune of more than $650 million under mysterious circumstances.

At least ten financial institutions -- including Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan Chase and Citibank -- have been issued subpoenas in recent weeks from the office of USVI Attorney General Denise George, according to court filings reviewed by ABC News. The subpoenas seek account records, transaction details and communications concerning Epstein, his estate, and more than 30 corporations, trusts and nonprofit entities connected to him.

The move comes as lawyers for Epstein's estate are locked in an increasingly acrimonious duel with George, who filed a civil forfeiture lawsuit against the estate in January, five months after Epstein died while in a federal jail in New York. The complaint alleges that Epstein constructed a network of companies and individuals to enable and conceal his alleged sex-trafficking of girls and young women to Little St. James, his luxurious private island resort off the east coast of St. Thomas.

... in case nobody saw it yet.

I’ve got nothing but contempt for epstein, but I’m fascinated by the various directions his ties and the story may run. Most of all, I hope the women who were victims of epstein get the closure they need. Seeking out young women with troubled home lives as victims is absolutely abhorrent. Not only do these women now have whatever issues they had from their home lives, they have serial abuse by epstein and his cronies to contend with as well.
