JPMorgan Chase & Co on Tuesday sought to shift blame for failing to snuff out sex crimes committed by the late Jeffrey Epstein, accusing the US Virgin Islands of harbouring and shielding the disgraced financier as he abused young women and girls over two decades.The largest United States bank made the accusation in a heavily redacted filing in Manhattan federal court, where the US Virgin Islands is suing to hold it liable for providing banking services to Epstein from 1998 to 2013.JPMorgan said Epstein had a “quid pro quo” relationship with the US Virgin Islands’s highest-ranking officials, bestowing money and favours in exchange for millions of dollars of tax incentives and looking the other way at his crimes.
