JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon deposed over bank's Jeffrey Epstein ties
Read Original Source
JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon has provided a formal statement in two lawsuits over ties between the largest US bank and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The nearly 15-year relationship extended from 1998 to 2013, five years after the financier pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution. Prosecutors allege the bank ignored warning signs about their lucrative client and continued profiting off him. Both Mr Dimon and his employer have denied any wrongdoing and liability.
