Newly unsealed court records have revealed that JP Morgan Chase alerted the Trump administration in 2019 to more than $1 billion in suspicious transactions linked to Jeffrey Epstein, major Wall Street figures, and Russian banks.
The suspicious activity report (SAR), filed just weeks after Epstein’s death in a New York jail, detailed over 4,700 transactions between 2003 and 2019 that the bank found unusual or potentially connected to human trafficking. According to The New York Times, the flagged transactions involved several of Epstein’s close associates and business contacts, including Leon Black, co-founder of Apollo Global Management; Glenn Dubin, billionaire hedge fund manager; Alan Dershowitz, celebrity attorney; and trusts linked to Leslie Wexner, the retail magnate.
Two of Epstein’s accounts were reportedly connected to Russian banks Alfa Bank and Sberbank, adding another layer to the growing scrutiny of his vast financial web. Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking minors and was found dead weeks later in his Manhattan jail cell. The latest disclosures further expose the scale of his financial network — and the extensive list of powerful figures tied to it.
