New Files Show Epstein Was ‘Too Useful’ for Banks to Drop

The newest Epstein ⁠disclosures⁠ include deposition testimony that illustrates, in unusually concrete detail, how major financial institutions assessed risk, value, and accountability.
The transcript does not add new allegations about Epstein. Instead, it explains why he remained bankable ⁠long after⁠ his 2008 conviction and why his relationship with major banks survived despite generating almost no traditional revenue.
That institutional logic is the same logic that later drove ⁠JPMorgan⁠ to end its ties with Trump Media, and the contrast between the two cases shows how selectively these standards are applied.
In the deposition, Paul Morris—a private banker who handled Epstein’s accounts at JPMorgan Chase and later Deutsche Bank—described Epstein’s financial profile with ⁠unusual⁠ precision.
