The US Virgin Islands wants to expand its lawsuit accusing JPMorgan Chase & Co of aiding in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking of girls and young women, adding a new obstruction charge and a claim that bank executives joked about the late financier.In a Monday filing in Manhattan federal court, the territory said Epstein’s behaviour had been “so widely known” at JPMorgan, where he was a client from 2000 to 2013, that senior executives “joked about Epstein’s interest in young girls”.The obstruction charge concerns JPMorgan’s alleged effort to thwart enforcement of a US anti-trafficking law by processing large cash withdrawals for Epstein and his associates, with the “purpose” of helping Epstein evade criminal liability.
