JP Morgan CEO Provides Statement in Lawsuits Over Jeffrey Epstein Ties

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon has given a formal statement in two lawsuits regarding the bank's relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuits allege that the bank ignored warning signs about Epstein and continued to profit from their association.

Dimon stated that he had never met or communicated with Epstein and did not recall discussing Epstein's accounts with others at the bank. The suits were brought by Epstein's victims and the government of the US Virgin Islands, accusing JP Morgan of facilitating and concealing Epstein's illegal activities.

What do you think are the responsibilities of financial institutions when it comes to detecting and severing ties with clients involved in illegal activities?
