BOMBSHELL: First Epstein Client Revealed?
More than three years after Jeffrey Epstein died mysteriously in a cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, we are learning new details about the high-powered men who may have been on his client list. Jes Staley, the former CEO of JP Morgan Chase, exchanged approximately 1,200 emails with Epstein, some of which included photos of “young women in seductive poses” and coded references to Disney princesses.
The emails were revealed as part of a lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase, where Staley was an executive for decades.
“I owe you much, “Mr. Staley emailed Epstein in 2009, the year Epstein was completing a sentence for soliciting a minor for prostitution. “And I deeply appreciate our friendship. I have few so profound.”
The Wall Street Journal reports:
The emails revealed by the U.S. Virgin Islands show Epstein sending Mr. Staley photos of young women and discussing trips to the island where Epstein had allegedly trafficked young women. The photos, which the suit describes as featuring “young women in seductive poses,” are redacted.
“That was fun. Say hi to Snow White,” Mr. Staley wrote in a July 2010 email to Epstein, according to court documents.
Epstein responded: “[W]hat character would you like next?” and Mr. Staley replied, “Beauty and the Beast.”
The suit also alleges Epstein wired money to a woman after Mr. Staley stayed at Epstein’s Palm Beach, Fla., mansion and then again to the same woman when Mr. Staley told Epstein he would be in London.
In addition to his work at JP Morgan Chase, Staley was the CEO of Barclays from 2015-2021. Staley stepped down as Barclays chief in November 2021, after an investigation was launched into his ties with Epstein, who was charged with sex trafficking in 2019.
