NEW YORK, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced late financier and sex offender, had accounts at Goldman Sachs (GS.N), HSBC (HSBA.L), and other banks, new court filings show.
The revelations came in previously sealed documents made public by JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) once Epstein's main bank, in a now-settled lawsuit brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a private island residence.
Epstein is listed as having had a Goldman account and three accounts with HSBC's private bank in Switzerland in a suspicious activity report filed by JPMorgan with the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network soon after he died. Released to the public on Friday, the report did not provide dollar amounts or details about Epstein's relationships with other banks, but alerted authorities to money transfers he made.
A U.S. judge ordered the documents unsealed in response to requests from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Bloomberg earlier reported the banks' names. In an emailed statement, Goldman said: "We terminated our client relationship with Mr. Epstein, and his assets were transferred out of the firm in 2010." HSBC declined to comment.

(39,493 posts)Long story short - we'll never know what he got away with during those years. After Epstein's arrest in 2019, JPMorganChase suddenly discovered a backlog of SARs they "forgot" to file on Epstein. Whoops!
Chase had red flags all over the place on Epstein's banking activities but they never filed a SAR while accepting his transactions for years. Even when he walked around with suitcases full of cash. Why do we have banking laws anyway?
