Mega Edition: Jes Staley And His Motion To Exclude JP Morgan's Expert Witness Opinions (8/18/25)
The lawsuits stem from parallel cases in the Southern District of New York: one brought by Jane Doe on behalf of Epstein’s victims and another by the Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands, both targeting JPMorgan Chase for its alleged role in enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. JPMorgan, in turn, filed third-party claims against former executive James Edward Staley, arguing that he should bear responsibility for any liability tied to Epstein, given his close personal and professional ties to the financier. These cases became highly significant in exposing the financial networks that allegedly allowed Epstein’s crimes to flourish.
In response, Staley filed a motion to exclude JPMorgan Chase’s proffered expert opinions, challenging the credibility and admissibility of the bank’s expert witnesses. His brief sought to limit the evidence that could be used against him, aiming to weaken JPMorgan’s case for shifting liability onto him. This move reflects Staley’s broader defense strategy of resisting being scapegoated as the primary enabler within JPMorgan, while the bank itself faced mounting scrutiny for its role in maintaining Epstein as a client despite numerous red flags.
