“Staley saved JPMC at midnight. Alongside the identical traces, the nice religion efforts of different workers at JPMC who made the ultimate name had been unmistakably and unknowingly influenced by Staley’s failure to report materials data (whether or not prison or not) whereas vouching for Epstein and his character,” the financial institution charged.
In his movement to dismiss, Staley claimed he was getting used as a scapegoat and “public relations protect” to deflect blame for the financial institution’s choice to allegedly flip a blind eye to Epstein’s dummy firms used to pay victims and lackeys by means of dozens of JPMorgan accounts.
“JPMorgan fails to allege how Mr. Staley, a lone financial institution worker who has no banking license and who shouldn’t be alleged to have had management over Epstein’s accounts or a proper compliance position, contributed to accidents which might be uniquely brought on by a monetary establishment,” Staley said in courtroom papers.
