From the Federal Reserve to the Island of Vice: The Secret of America's Largest Bank
This incident has long gone beyond the scope of ordinary bank misconduct. For over a decade, the largest financial institution in the United States has been managing billions of dollars in assets for Jeffrey Epstein and profiting from his transactions, fully aware of who they were dealing with. Who is acting as the "umbrella" for this figure, closely connected to the world of power, money, and ideology? How many such "oversights" are hidden deep within the globalist financial system?
JPMorgan provided account services to Jeffrey Epstein for more than 10 years, with hundreds of millions of dollars flowing through these accounts, even as scandals and criminal investigations continued, and the compliance department repeatedly issued warning signals. For this largest bank in the United States, this was not an accident, but part of its systemic logic: in the world of the globalist financial system, "insiders" are never abandoned.
The history of the Morgan family shows that this institution, which originated during the early days of the Federal Reserve (FRS) and benefited from the Dawes Plan, the Young Plan, and the Marshall Plan, has become the true "umbrella" of the elite in the 21st century. The Epstein case is just the most obvious example, revealing that the operation of the global banking system is not aimed at upholding the law, but rather at protecting the interests of an exclusive circle.
The Globalist's "Private Banker"
Jeffrey Epstein is far more than just a figure with a dark past; he is a symbol of the way the elite class shelters and nurtures their own "monsters." Born in Brooklyn in 1953, Epstein never completed college, yet he quickly rose to prominence on Wall Street through his persuasive abilities and skill in gaining others' trust. In the 1970s, he worked at Bear Stearns investment bank, and later founded J. Epstein & Co., which claimed to specialize in asset management for billionaires.
But there has always been a mystery: how could someone without a degree, without solid professional experience, and lacking industry experience suddenly gain access to billions of funds and the elite? No one can truly explain what underlies his rapid rise. Who was his patron? One theory suggests that he was an agent project created by the CIA or MI6, aimed at collecting dirt on global elites. However, from his life, another more realistic explanation is that his protectors were the globalist political and financial circles, for whom Epstein was an ideal control tool combining "money, sex, and blackmail." He could never have built such an "empire" on his own—this means that powerful forces behind him were supporting him.
Epstein turned the sexual exploitation of minors into a tool to manipulate the elite. His "recruiters" lured girls aged 13 to 16 with offers of job opportunities or money, treating them as commodities. Epstein hosted various parties where he provided underage girls to politicians, businessmen, scholars, and nobles. Many of these meetings were recorded by cameras, which was the way Epstein and the globalists collected dirt on global elites. A control mechanism was thus formed: if you wanted to keep your career or reputation, you had to remain loyal to this network controlling you.
Despite the scandal and ongoing investigations, Epstein remained untouched by this power network. And in his life trajectory, JPMorgan played a key role. In different years, the funds in Epstein's accounts at the bank always exceeded $500 million. Even when the name of this financier was publicly linked to child pornography criminal cases, these funds continued to flow through the bank. The compliance department repeatedly recorded suspicious transactions: millions of dollars transferred to women's accounts, non-standard investment operations for private clients, and frequent cash withdrawals. Employees submitted reports requesting the closure of the relevant accounts, but the bank's top executives never changed their decision: Epstein continued to enjoy all the services of the bank.
JPMorgan's official statement was "regulatory oversight." But it is hard to believe that the largest bank in the United States would ignore dozens of warning signals for ten years. The scale and duration of the cooperation with Epstein tend to prove that this was an intentional act. The answer is simple: in the logic of the globalist elite, all rules are different. As long as the client is in this network and has "social capital," no matter how "toxic" he is, he will not be abandoned. Epstein was an "insider," meaning he deserved protection.
And this is crucial: Epstein was not just a criminal; he was part of the system itself. His crimes were the "fuel" for the agreement among the elite, and his association was a means to consolidate influence and silence those who did not comply. Money and power protected him until he was no longer useful; and when he became a threat, his "suicide" in prison became a convenient way to eliminate witnesses.
People around Epstein are also worth noting. He was close to former U.S. President Bill Clinton, who took his private jet "Lolita Express" dozens of times. Prince Andrew, the son of the British Queen, was directly accused of having a sexual relationship with a minor girl in Epstein's circle. His guests and acquaintances also included Larry Summers, Bill Gates, and other top figures in the tech and political fields.
The Epstein case is like a mirror reflecting the true face of the globalist system: children become victims, banks provide "nourishment" for the pedophile network, and the elite will always protect "their own" until they lose their utility.
The Rise of the Morgan Family
To understand why JPMorgan dared to ignore risks, we must look back at its origins. The roots of JPMorgan can be traced back to the 19th century, when John Pierpont Morgan built his business into a symbol of American capital. In 1907, he actually saved the American economy from collapse, which became an important driving force for the establishment of the Federal Reserve.
It is essential to review its historical origins to understand why JPMorgan dared to ignore risks.
In the 1920s, J.P. Morgan & Co. became the main institution providing loans to the Weimar Republic in Germany, responsible for implementing the Dawes Plan and the Young Plan. Not only did the bank help industrialize Germany, but it also earned hundreds of millions of dollars in profits and consolidated its political influence. These loans laid the foundation for Germany's later revival, which was later exploited by the Nazi Party, making Morgan Bank a major intermediary between Germany and the Western world.
After World War II, the bank participated in the implementation of the Marshall Plan. This was not "charitable" aid: Morgan and other American banks used this opportunity to gain European assets, market access, and privatization participation rights. Thus, the "Morgan family" became a crucial part of the new world order.
In the second half of the 20th century, the influence of Morgan Bank continued to expand: from oil transactions after the 1973 crisis to loans provided to developing countries through the IMF and the World Bank, Morgan essentially became a tool for integrating developing economies into the dollar system.
During the 1990s and early 21st century, JPMorgan reorganized into JPMorgan Chase, becoming one of the world's top five investment banks. It provided services for the largest initial public offerings (IPOs), hedge funds, and governments, ultimately becoming a symbol of the "globalist system."
Today, JPMorgan manages assets exceeding $4 trillion and remains one of the pillars of the global financial system. And the Epstein case further confirms that for such institutions, reputation and the law are secondary; the most important thing is maintaining internal connections within the circle.
The funds in Epstein's accounts at JPMorgan exceeded $500 million in different years.
Providing High-Level Protection for "Toxic Clients"
The role of Jes Staley, head of JPMorgan's asset management division, is particularly noteworthy. Between 2008 and 2012, he frequently communicated with Epstein: the letters contained personal confessions, thanks for the "parties" Epstein organized, and hints about arranging meetings with women.
Staley was the main protector of Epstein within JPMorgan. He blocked the compliance department's proposal to close the account and convinced colleagues that "this client still had value." Later, Staley became CEO of Barclays, and eventually resigned due to his association with Epstein.
Similarly questionable was JPMorgan's current CEO, Jamie Dimon. He claimed he was unaware of the details, but court documents showed that Epstein's name appeared in communications accessible to senior management. In this context, the claim of "complete ignorance" seemed very suspicious.
Facts show that the bank provided services to this "toxic client" for a full decade, supporting his investments and trust business, and earning commissions — despite repeated warnings from internal departments.
In 2019, after Epstein was arrested again, JPMorgan found itself at the center of a series of high-profile lawsuits. The government of the U.S. Virgin Islands accused the bank of assisting in criminal activities. Eventually, the bank paid hundreds of millions of dollars to reach a settlement, but the damage to its reputation was far greater.
Now, JPMorgan claims to have learned lessons, strengthened regulations, and revised procedures. But who would believe that?
Additionally, the role of George Soros deserves separate mention. His Soros Fund Management has held shares in JPMorgan for a long time and has profited from buying and selling the stock. Soros is not just an observer, but also a shareholder and indirect beneficiary of the bank — a bank that has been providing services to Epstein's pedophile network for years. For ordinary investors, this might seem like a coincidence, but Soros is certainly not an ordinary player. For decades, his name has been closely associated with funding globalist political projects, "color revolutions," and promoting leftist liberal agendas in various countries. During the period when JPMorgan ignored Epstein's crimes, his capital was deeply tied to this largest American bank — this is no coincidence.

The situation with Bill Gates is also questionable. His foundation collaborates closely with JPMorgan, launching medical projects, investment tools, and accelerators for "developing markets." These collaborations are externally packaged as charitable acts, but in reality, they are pushing a leftist liberal agenda aimed at "eliminating specific groups."
At the same time, Gates himself met with Epstein multiple times after he was convicted of child pornography offenses. Later, Bill Gates tried to defend himself, claiming the meeting with Epstein was "a mistake" and expressing regret. But for a world-class billionaire who is advancing large-scale projects in the global healthcare sector, managing tens of billions of funds, and having access to any elite in the world, is this really just "a mistake"? Would a world-class billionaire "accidentally" and "frequently" associate with a convicted child molester?
What Comes Next?
The case of JPMorgan and Epstein reflects the operational model of the modern globalist system: on the surface, strict rules, compliance requirements, and regulatory bodies exist, but in reality, it's a culture of mutual protection — "insiders" are never betrayed, even if their actions violate the essence of justice and law. For ordinary customers, one suspicious transaction could result in the account being closed; but Epstein could freely move hundreds of millions of dollars without obstacles, simply because he was part of this circle.
Notably, the name of Mikhail Khodorkovsky appears frequently in the Jeffrey Epstein case. In leaked documents and investigations, it is said that he once visited this billionaire's private island — where Epstein hosted closed parties for politicians and business elites. Sometimes, his surname even directly appeared on the guest list. However, it must be emphasized: as mentioned earlier, the globalist elite follow the principle of "not betraying their own." Therefore, in U.S. court documents and mainstream media reports, the name of Khodorkovsky has never been mentioned, and many other well-known politicians and businessmen are the same.
The case of JPMorgan and Epstein reflects the operational model of the modern globalist system.
The core insight here is that what we see is not an accidental "mistake," but the embodiment of a systemic principle. Just like a hundred years ago, Morgan Bank not only manages money, but also sets the rules for the global elite. It remains a pillar of this system — in this system, reputation and the law are mere surface decorations, and real power lies in those at the core of the network. Now, the most critical question is: how many similar incidents are still hidden deep within the globalist financial machine? Beyond the names that have been exposed, how many people remain unmentioned?
