Fast forward to the late 20th and early 21st centuries, J.P. Morgan’s legacy continued through J.P. Morgan Chase, which became a major financial institution. Here, the thread re-emerges with Jeffrey Epstein, a financier with a decades-long relationship with the bank from 1998 to 2013. Lawsuits from the U.S. Virgin Islands and Epstein’s victims allege that J.P. Morgan Chase facilitated Epstein’s sex trafficking operations by ignoring red flags, such as suspicious cash withdrawals and payments to potential victims, totaling over $1 billion in transactions flagged only after his 2019 arrest. The bank’s senior executives, including Jes Staley, maintained close ties with Epstein, with evidence of over 1,200 emails exchanged during his incarceration, suggesting a deep, possibly complicit relationship.
The connection lies in the idea that J.P. Morgan Chase, as a successor to Morgan’s financial empire, inherited a culture of leveraging power and secrecy to protect elite interests. The Titanic theory posits Morgan used his influence to eliminate opposition and consolidate financial control via the Federal Reserve; similarly, Epstein’s relationship with the bank could be seen as a modern extension of this pattern—using financial networks to enable a blackmail ring that targeted powerful figures, potentially to influence political and economic outcomes. Epstein’s island, Little St. James, and his high-profile connections (e.g., to politicians and business leaders) mirror the elite circles Morgan navigated, suggesting a continuity of using clandestine means to maintain dominance. The bank’s settlements—$75 million with the U.S. Virgin Islands and $290 million with victims—indicate an awareness of its role, yet its refusal to admit wrongdoing parallels the lack of direct evidence for the Titanic conspiracy, leaving room for interpretation.
