 Judge to unseal more than 100 documents in Epstein-related civil suit against JPMorgan Chase

A federal judge in Manhattan has ordered the unsealing of more than 100 documents from a civil lawsuit brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands against JPMorgan Chase over the finances of disgraced pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, a Bill Clinton appointee in the Southern District of New York, broadly granted a request from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal to release sealed exhibits from the summary judgment phase of the case, which was settled in 2023.

Some of the filings purportedly contain “financial settlements from JPMorgan Chase, either for accounts controlled by Epstein or the accounts of victims of Epstein’s crimes,” according to Times journalist Matthew Goldstein, who sought a broad unsealing of “financial documents” from the case.

“I believe that records documenting the flow of money into Epstein’s accounts from persons who may have been involved in his sexual abuse of minors and the flow of money to victims are of particular public interest at this time in light of allegations that the federal government has not been forthcoming in providing records from the Epstein investigation, despite promises to do so,” Goldstein wrote in a letter to the judge from August.
