Newly unsealed court documents have revealed that JP Morgan Chase flagged over $1 billion.
In suspicious transactions linked to Jeffrey Epstein and several prominent business figures, including connections to Russian banks, shortly after Epstein’s 2019 death in jail.
According to The New York Times, the bank filed a suspicious activity report (SAR) with the Trump administration in 2019, identifying more than 4,700 questionable transactions spanning from October 2003 to July 2019. The flagged transfers included dealings with Wall Street executives, Epstein’s legal associates, and two Russian financial institutions — Alfa Bank and Sberbank.
The report names several high-profile individuals and entities allegedly associated with Epstein’s financial network, including Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black, hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin, attorney Alan Dershowitz, and trusts tied to retail magnate Leslie Wexner.
Epstein, who faced federal charges for sex trafficking minors, died by suicide in a New York jail in August 2019 while awaiting trial. The unsealed records now raise new questions about the scale and reach of his financial dealings — and how major institutions handled the red flags before his death.
