SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 6 – J.P. Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank were sued for their enabling of Jeffrey Epstein, in lawsuits filed on Thanksgiving in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Inner City Press found them in the docket.
The separate lawsuits allege that "without exorbitantly large amounts of cash, Epstein's operations could not run, as newly recruited victims were each paid hundreds of dollars in cash immediately after Epstein sexually abused them, as hush money."
But there's more, and Inner City Press is on it. For now, the JPM Chase complaint is on Patreon, here.
On November 29, both cases were assigned to SDNY Judge Jed S. Rakoff, as "related" to a previous case against Deutsche Bank he has. Both had a proceeding on December 5 that Inner City Press covered.
In the courtroom along with David Boies, Bradley Edwards, Sigrid McCawley et al was former SDNY prosecutor Robert Boone (Inner City Press covered him in the Michael Avenatti - Stormy Daniels criminal case), now representing JPMorgan Chase.
Both cases have the same pre-trial schedule, going forward: Amended Pleadings due by 1/23/2023. Joinder of Parties due by 12/16/2022. Motion to dismiss - Moving papers 12/30. Answering Papers 1/13. Reply papers - 1/20. Motions in support of class certification due by 3/31/2023. Responses due by 4/21/2023 Replies due by 5/5/2023. Deposition due by 4/24/2023. Discovery due by 4/24/2023. Final Pretrial Conference set for 6/12/2023 at 04:00 PM. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 12/5/22).
BUT - for now they have different trial dates: "ORDER. On the consent of all parties, see transcript 12/5/2022, the above-captioned cases are hereby consolidated for all pre-trial purposes. The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to consolidate the cases under the docket number 22-cv-10018-UA but bearing both captions. However, barring further order of the Court, trial of the cases will proceed separately, with 22-cv-10018-UA starting trial on August 7, 2023 and 22-cv-10019-UA starting trial on September 5, 2023. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 12/5/22) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:22-cv-10018-JSR, 1:22-cv-10019-JSR."

Meanwhile, the UN has yet to answer Inner City Press on why SG Antonio Guterres maintained a rep on the board of Ghislaine Maxwell's Terramar Project (instead bannign the Press); Norway won't answer on its AMbasador Mona Juul and Terje Roed Larsen taking $130,000 personal loan from Epstein.
The JPMC case is Doe 1 v. JP Morgan Chase & Co., 22-cv-10019 (Rakoff)
