The US Proceedings
In late 2022 and early 2023, two sets of proceedings were brought in the US against JPM. One set of proceedings was a class action on behalf of alleged victims of Mr Epstein. The other set of proceedings was a claim brought by the US Virgin Islands in respect of Mr Epstein’s misconduct. The claims sought damages from JPM for its facilitation of Mr Epstein’s activities. JPM brought a third-party complaint against Mr Staley claiming that if it was liable to the plaintiffs (which it denied), Mr Staley should indemnify it against that liability.
