JPMorgan Chase is suing one of its former executives, Jes Staley, over his ties to the late financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who died mysteriously while in prison in an alleged suicide, in 2019.
In late 2022, a female plaintiff filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan, accusing Staley, who was employed there from 1979 to 2013, of allegedly protecting Epstein and even participating in sexual assaults against her while he was still employed as a top executive.Staley was the CEO of Barclays from 2013 until November 2021, when British regulators launched an investigation into whether the bank had been truthful about his relationship with the late sex offender before his indictment.
