Elon Musk Subpoenaed in Lawsuit Against JPMorgan Over Jeffrey Epstein Ties

The US Virgin Islands subpoenaed Elon Musk’s documents as part of its lawsuit against JP Morgan over the bank’s knowledge of sex trafficking of longtime client Jeffrey Epstein, court documents showed Monday.

An unnamed woman and the US Virgin Islands filed separate lawsuits against JPMorgan late last year, accusing the bank of facilitating crimes by the deceased Epstein by ignoring warnings and retaining him as a client until 2013. Accused of.

The bank has denied the allegations, and has filed its own lawsuit against a former executive for his relationship with Epstein.

Court documents released Monday said Musk, who is not accused of wrongdoing, is “a high-net-worth individual whom Epstein may have referred or attempted to refer to JPMorgan.”

The US territory requested on April 28 that Musk hand over any documents relating to Epstein and JP Morgan, as well as “all documents relating to Epstein’s involvement in human trafficking and/or his procurement of girls or women for commercial sex”. “

The documents state that the Virgin Islands’ legal staff failed to hand the requests over to Musk or any of his legal representatives, and instead enable them to be passed on to Tesla’s lawyers.

A similar document request was issued to Google co-founder Larry Page in early April.

Epstein was convicted in 2008 of paying young girls for massages in Florida, but served just 13 months in prison under a secret plea deal.

Later facing charges of trafficking underage girls for sex, she killed herself in a New York prison in August 2019.
