High-profile business figures including Sergey Brin, Thomas Pritzker and Mortimer Zuckerman were issued subpoenas in March 2023 as part of a civil lawsuit from the U.S. Virgin Islands against JPMorgan Chase & Co.. The subpoenas sought documents and communications potentially tying these wealthy individuals to the bank’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — a relationship the Virgin Islands alleged helped facilitate a sex-trafficking enterprise.
The legal push signaled a broadening of the investigation’s scope, moving beyond the bank and its former executives to probe the wider circle of elite clients and associates linked to Epstein. By pulling in Brin, Pritzker and Zuckerman, authorities aimed to uncover whether Epstein used wealth and connections — through financial referrals or shared networks — to sustain or conceal the trafficking operation, and to hold both institutions and individuals accountable for complicity.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
As the lawsuit by the United States Virgin Islands against
JP Morgan continues to evolve and move through the system,
we're learning a little bit more about some of the
people who are connected to this subpoena. And it shouldn't
shock anybody out there that there's some of the richest
(00:23):
men in the United States of America, because those are
the people that Jeffrey Epstein was hanging out with. He
wasn't hanging out with people who had no dough, with
people who couldn't do anything for him. It was all
about quid pro quo and if you could do something
for him, well you better believe he could do something
for you. And all of the people that were hanging
(00:45):
out with him, going to his island, partying with them,
breaking bread with them, coffording with them, they all have
a lot to answer for. And even though none of
these morons are going to be held criminally liable, it's
nice to see their names at least get mentioned in
the mainstream when it comes to this story. These are
all names we've been talking about for a very long time,
(01:06):
but the legacy media as a whole They've only wanted
to scratch the surface. They haven't wanted to go any
deeper than that. I mean, just for example, take a
look at Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and their ties
to Jeffrey Epstein. You would think that there would be
a treasure trove of information there for journalists to have
a field day with, but none of them have picked
(01:26):
up that baton and ran with it. So ask yourselves,
why why does the legacy media continue to protect these
people and then act shocked when names start dropping in
court documents. It's like with Jess Stay, they were acting
like it was gigantic news that Jess Dally was caught
up in the undertow of Jeffrey Epstein's bullshit. Everybody knew that.
(01:48):
If you were following this story, you definitely knew who
Jess Daily was, and you knew that he played a
critical role in the bullshit that was going on as
far as the financial aspect of that criminal enterprise running.
So these are all names that people who have been
following the case are certainly familiar with, but there are
those who are new to the case who don't know
(02:10):
these names. So let's dive into this CNBC article and
let's see what authors Emon Jabbers and Dan Mangen have
for us. Google founder, former Disney executive to get subpoenas
in JP Morgan Epstein lawsuit. And as far as the
subpoenas go, imagine you're hanging out in your backyard, You're
one of these knuckleheads, and the process server shows up
(02:33):
to serve you and your wife has no idea you
were paling around with Epstein in the first place. Sure,
that's going to be a fun conversation. Google founder serje A. Brinn,
former Disney executive, Michael Ovitz, Hyatt Hotels executive chairman Thomas Pritzker,
and the fourth billionaire real estate investor mort Zuckerman will
(02:54):
be subpoenaed in a lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase by
the government of the US virgin I related to sex
trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein. Now, as far as Sergey Brinn goes,
he was a backup executor to Jeffrey Epstein's estate in
the first place. So that's certainly a name that we
should all be familiar with. And I don't mean from
(03:15):
his time at Google. This is a man who was
for whatever reason named as one of the co executors
a backup co executor. Now, he turned down the position,
but why would Jeffrey Epstein and his stupid jerk off
face even offer it to this dude in the first
place if they weren't close. We all know that Endyke
and Khan were like his left and right hand, his
(03:36):
end house lawyer, his accountant, his go to guys, right,
his version of Tom Hagen. But as far as Brynn goes,
we don't really know the depths of that relationship, and
I think there's a lot more there. Now. I can't
prove that, and I'm not saying that Brynn was diddling
any girls with Jeffrey Epstein, but there's a reason why
(03:56):
Epstein would name him as one of these co executors.
And as far as Pritzker goes, well, we know that
Virginia Roberts had allegations against Pritzker of him actually taking
part in the abuse. So Pritzker has a lot to
answer for in my opinion, and that's a name that's
not talked about nearly enough. Now, remember they're only allegations.
(04:19):
I don't have any evidence to prove one way or
the other. But what I have always called for here
is anybody that gets named directly gets brought in and
talked to under oath. At the very least, we're talking
about serious stuff here, stuff that regular people have to
answer for. And I don't care how much money you have.
If you're out here abusing people, you should be answering
(04:39):
for that. And Mord Zuckerman, well, he's an old time
pal of Jeffrey Epstein's, so there's no doubt that that
dude was paling around with him, and he's even been
dragged into some of these recent court proceedings. The subpoenas
were first reported Friday by The Wall Street Journal. A
source familiar with the matter confirmed them to CNBC. The
(05:00):
subpoenas demand communications and documents related to the bank and Epstein.
The Journal noted, there's going to be a lot of
those communications, at least with the bank. We're talking about
four of the richest men in America. My guess is
they were doing some business. News of the subpoenas comes
three days after it was reported that JP Morgan CEO
(05:21):
Jamie Diamond will answer questions under oath in the lawsuit,
which alleges that the bank ignored warning signs about Epstein
for years and continue retaining him as a customer. All
of that is fact. None of that's alleged. That's just
all fact. And the sad part is that's how most
of these banks are doing business. We just happen to
(05:42):
be talking about JP Morgan right now. But you give
me a bank and I'm sure we can find the scumbag.
Last week, the Virgin Islands, in a press release, noted
that it alleges JP morgan chase could have prevented harm
and trauma faced by the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's hains Au. Well,
the Virgin Islands could have stopped it too, not for nothing.
(06:04):
While we're here, we might as well stop and look
at the sites, right And those sites are the Virgin
Islands not doing shit to stop Jeffrey Epstein, in fact,
emboldening him, giving him tax breaks, giving him the homie hookup.
You know all of that, And nobody has ever been
held responsible for any of that stuff in the Virgin Islands.
(06:24):
But all of a sudden, they're entitled to all of
this money. Yeah right, bro, miss me with all of that.
The only reason I'm even halfway excited about any of
this is because we might get to see some dirty
laundry air from Jeffrey Epstein's dickhead friends. But instead, the
bank chose to look the other way on these legal
matters while continuing to use their banking relationship to grow
(06:48):
their business with new clients introduced by Epstein. The release said,
and that sounds crazy to normal people, right, You really
think the bank cares if you bring your uncle with
you to open a bank account at your institution. Oh,
I'm sure there's some kind of bonus ten twenty fifty
dollars whatever. But we're talking about hundreds and hundreds of
(07:08):
millions of dollars, maybe even billions. We're talking about some
of the most powerful and wealthy Jerkovs on this whole
entire planet. On March twentieth, Judge Jed Raykoff ruled the
suit against the bank, as well as the similar one
by women who say Epstein traffickedom, can proceed toward trial.
The plaintiffs claim that JP Morgan knowingly benefited from participating
(07:33):
in Epstein's trafficking scheme, which transported women to his residents
in the Virgin Islands so that he could sexually abuse them.
And not only that, but he was abusing them. Even
while he was on paper. This dude was bringing women
through the airport. Everybody knew what was going on, and
nobody in the Virgin Islands could be bothered to stop him.
(07:54):
But now all of a sudden, they're the white Knights
showing up to the party. All of a sudden, they're
the ones that are going to save the day. And
this is a defense that the banks have already used.
They've already said, well, if you're blaming us for this,
how is it that you didn't stop them either? And
I'm on board with that from where I'm sitting. There's
plenty of guilt to go around, and all of these
(08:17):
people are culpable. JP Morgan has denied the allegations in
suits which are appending in the US District Court in Manhattan.
The bank earlier this month sued former JP Morgan Investment
Banking chief Jess Staley, claiming he is responsible for the
suits related to Epstein. Always somebody else's fault. It's amazing,
isn't it? No self responsibility ever? And it's convenient that
(08:41):
they have Jess Stay to blame after all of these
years of Jess Stay working for that bank, them knowing
who Epstein was. Now all of a sudden, it's a problem, huh,
because you get called out on your shit and it
might cost you a few hundred million. Now it's a problem.
It should have been a problem then, But guess what.
It's always about profits over people. The bank seeks to
(09:04):
claw back more than eighty million dollars that it paid
to Staley. He quit a CEO of Barclays in twenty
twenty one after a probe by the United Kingdom financial
regulators over his ties to Epstein. A lawyer for the
Virgin Islands earlier this month said in court that Diamond
knew in two thousand and eight that Epstein was a
sex trafficker, that year that Epstein was first hit with
(09:27):
sex crime charges in state court in Florida. If Staley
is a rogue employee, why isn't Jamie Diamond, The attorney,
Mimi Lu said at the hearing, Staley knew Diamond nw
JP Morgan Chase knew about Epstein's criminal conduct, Lou said,
and good for her. Give her a nice tap on
(09:48):
the shoulder and a pat on the back, because anyone
going hard on these banks and calling them out for
their bullshit I'm on board with it because the financial sector,
as you all know, at least in my opinion, is
the biggest danger we all face. A JP Morgan lawyer
said at the time that the bank disputed those claims,
(10:08):
in particular the point about Jamie Diamond having any specific knowledge.
A bank spokeswoman has said, Jamie Diamond has no recollection
of reviewing the Epstein accounts. You notice he doesn't deny it. Oh,
I don't remember. That's basically what he just said right there,
and you can't force him to answer any differently. Remember,
this is not a criminal matter. This is a civil matter.
(10:31):
It should be a criminal matter. This should be Rico
and all these scumbags should be sleeping terribly at night.
But our government don't have the backbone for that. They're
way too busy with their political theater and all the
other bullshit to divide us. JP Morgan only ended its
customer relationship with Epstein in twenty thirteen. Epstein, a former
(10:52):
friend of Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Britain's Prince Andrew,
was arrested on federal child sex trafficking charges into of
twenty and nineteen. He killed himself a month later, allegedly
in a Manhattan jail cell after being denied bail or
after spending time with juice head Gorilla Nicholas Tartaglioni, who
(11:13):
threatened the shit out of him. I mean, I guess
we can go with the official narrative if you want to,
But me, I need some proof, and so far we
have not seen any proof of anything telling me that
Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in that jail cell. In fact,
I would think that the evidence that we have seen
that we have been provided points in a different direction.
(11:34):
And again, if you want to believe Bill Barr, that
is certainly your prerogative. But personally, I don't believe a
word that comes out of the dude's mouth. So with
him being the arbiter of truth, yeah, people are gonna
have some questions. But as far as the subpoenas go,
let's rock, Let's see what's inside of them, Let's see
these answers, and let's see what happens from here. All right,
(11:56):
everybody that's gonna do it for this one. All of
the information that goes with the episode can be found
in the description box.
What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
