- Epstein introduced JPMorgan executives to men who would become lucrative clients such as Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and to global leaders, like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel. In 2011, Epstein granted JPMorgan’s investment bankers in Israel an audience with Netanyahu. A bank spokesman said JPMorgan “neither needed nor sought Epstein’s help for meetings with any government leaders.”
- Epstein told JPMorgan legal counsel that prominent names could vouch for his character. “Go talk to Bill Gates about me,” Epstein said at one point.
- Epstein told a JPMorgan chief executive he managed money for the Rockefellers.
- Former JPMorgan executive Jes Staley said in a deposition that a parade of Epstein referrals included Gates, Elon Musk and Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, an Emirati billionaire, but not all became clients.
- JPMorgan also took Ghislaine Maxwell on as a client per Epstein’s referral. Epstein later transferred millions of dollars into Maxwell’s JPMorgan account, including $7.4 million to buy a green Sikorsky helicopter to fly people to Little Saint James.
- Epstein said in an e-mail he could help push Obama into naming JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon as Treasury Secretary in Obama’s administration. And also that Obama economic adviser and former Harvard President, Lawrence “Larry” Summers was friendly with Epstein.
