Elon Musk is subpoenaed in complaint against JPMorgan over ties to Jeffrey Epstein

The government of the U.S. Virgin Islands officially demanded that Elon Musk present documents within a lawsuit against the bank JPMorgan for the entity's relationship with a former client, the late financier accused of sex trafficking Jeffrey Epstein, according to court files released this Monday (15).

At the end of 2022, a woman – whose identity was not revealed – and the government of the Virgin Islands accused the banking entity of facilitating Jeffrey Epstein, accused of sexual crimes against minors, in financing his activities, which the bank denies.

The owner of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter are not incriminated in the case, but, “according to available information, Elon Musk is one of the billionaires to whom Epstein was able to recommend, or try to recommend, JPMorgan”, says a document that was attached to the process this Monday.

The Virgin Islands government also requested Musk on April 28 to transmit any document mentioning Jeffrey Epstein's possible role in his dealings with JPMorgan and/or Epstein's involvement in sexual crimes.

Intimations

Government representatives, however, were unable to deliver the subpoena to Musk or one of his legal representatives. In the documents released this Monday, they ask that, instead, the subpoena be transmitted to a representative of the Tesla.

A similar subpoena was issued in early April to the co-founder of Google, Larry Page.

In 2008, Jeffrey Epstein was sentenced to 13 months in prison for driving young women into prostitution in Florida, according to a confidential agreement reached with a prosecutor that allowed the late financier to avoid federal prosecution.

Accused and detained in 2019 for organizing, for several years, a sex trafficking network involving dozens of underage young people with whom he also had relationships, Epstein committed suicide in prison a few weeks later, before going to trial.

The late financier was a JPMorgan client until 2013.
