Staley says that he communicated with Jamie Dimon about the convicted sex offender, in a lawsuit against the US banking giant
The former JPMorgan Chase executive and ex-Barclays CEO Jes Staley has alleged that he communicated with JP Morgan’s chief executive, Jamie Dimon, about the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a contradiction of Dimon’s testimony, in a lawsuit brought by the US Virgin Islands against JP Morgan.
In a report on Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal said it had obtained legal papers in the case in which Staley claimed that he communicated with Dimon about the bank’s business with Epstein after the disgraced financier was arrested in Florida in 2006 for sexually abusing girls and pleaded guilty to soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution two years later.
