Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase CEO, to Testify in Epstein Case
Staff Editor JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is set to be deposed in the Jeffrey Epstein sexual abuse case. The two-day deposition will determine whether the bank can be held liable for any of Epstein’s actions.
Dimon has been under scrutiny since news broke that JPMorgan had done business with Epstein, who was arrested and charged with sex trafficking minors last year. Although Dimon claims he did not know about any of Epstein’s illegal activities until after his arrest, many believe that JPMorgan should have taken more precautions when doing business with him.
The depositions are part of an ongoing investigation into how much knowledge senior executives at JPMorgan had regarding their dealings with Jeffrey Epstein and what steps they took to ensure no laws were broken during their relationship. It is unclear what evidence will come out from these depositions or if it will lead to further legal action against the bank; however, this could potentially put a strain on its reputation in terms of ethics and compliance standards going forward.
