Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced late financier and sex offender, had accounts at Goldman Sachs (GS.N, HSBC (HSBA.L), and other banks, new court filings show.

The revelations came in previously sealed documents made public by JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), once Epstein's main bank, in a now-settled lawsuit brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a private island residence.

Released to the public on Friday, the report did not provide dollar amounts or details about Epstein's relationships with other banks, but alerted authorities to money transfers he made.

A U.S. judge ordered the documents unsealed in response to requests from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Bloomberg earlier reported the banks' names.

In an emailed statement, Goldman said: "We terminated our client relationship with Mr. Epstein, and his assets were transferred out of the firm in 2010."

HSBC declined to comment.

So is the shocking news here that a millionaire... used banks?

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 6 points 3 months ago

more like the totally unsurprising thing is that the billionare used more banks than was already publicly known, and those banks also did not disclose suspicious activity.

Yes, because he was a known, convicted pedophile who trafficked children. He used those banks to continue to traffic children.

"Rich man had accounts with banks" is a revelation now?

This is a poor attempt to manufacture interest and distraction from his victims' stories.
