Joel Greenberg sentenced to 11 years after cooperating with federal probe into Matt Gaetz | CNN Politics

Greenberg was found guilty of underaged sex trafficking among other things.

After the sentencing, Greenberg’s attorney Fritz Scheller said he was “disappointed” that the Justice Department hasn’t charged anyone else as part of the sex-trafficking investigation. Scheller previously said in court that Greenberg gave investigators information about seven or eight other men as it pertains to the illegal sexual contact with a minor.

“We expect the federal government to take on the hard cases and not just the easy convictions,” Scheller said, urging prosecutors to “pursue others.”- from the article.

One of those men was Matt Gaetz.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Notorious Island Will Be Sold While Ensuring It Won’t Be Used for ‘Illicit Purposes,’ $105M Virgin Islands Settlement Reveals

Jeffrey Epstein’s estate agreed to pay a $105 million settlement to end an enforcement action by Virgin Islands authorities, plus half the proceeds of the sale of his notorious “Pedophile Island.” [...]

“The Estate also agreed to pay $450,000 to remediate environmental damage around Great St. James, another Epstein-owned island, where the Government found that Epstein razed the remains of centuries’-old historical structures of enslaved workers to make room for his development,” the Virgin Islands DOJ said in a press release.   [...]

For sale: Ghislaine Maxwell’s husband’s $7 million oceanfront home. Proceeds go to her legal fees

It was the one-time home of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, who now lives 1,300 miles south in a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida.

And proceeds from the sale of the house — currently listed for $6.95 million — could be earmarked for paying Maxwell’s legal bills.

That’s according to an agreement Maxwell’s husband, Scott Borgerson, reached with Maxwell’s long-term law firm, Haddon, Morgan and Foreman, in September.

The Denver firm is trying to collect more than $880,000 it says Maxwell owes for the firm’s work defending her in her New York sex trafficking trial last year.

Maxwell married Borgerson in 2015, according to the complaint filed by the law firm, years after her relationship ended with Epstein.

Borgerson, according to the complaint, bought several high-end properties using Maxwell’s money, including the Manchester-by-the-Sea home and a 156-acre estate in New Hampshire where Maxwell was arrested in July 2020, roughly one year after Epstein had been arrested on sex charges.

At Maxwell’s trial, prosecutors showed that Epstein had made payments totaling more than $30 million to accounts connected to Maxwell in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Epstein also left Maxwell $10 million in his will, though Maxwell’s lawyers indicated at her sentencing in June that they didn’t expect she would ever see that money.

The firm initially sued Maxwell, Borgerson and Maxwell’s brother, Kevin.

Borgerson was dismissed from the suit, but a September agreement accidentally included in one of the firm’s filings shows that Borgerson agreed that if the firm was unable to collect the money owed from either Ghislaine or Kevin Maxwell, proceeds from the sale of the house would be used to repay the debt.

Virgin Islands Attorney General Loses Her Job Days After Suing JPMorgan Chase in Connection with the Jeffrey Epstein Probe

Jan 2nd, 2023, 11:30 am

 

Quote

The Virgin Islands top prosecutor who reached a more than $105 million settlement with Jeffrey Epstein’s estate lost her job days after suing JPMorgan Chase in connection with her probe.  [...] 

On Dec. 27, then-Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George filed a blistering and heavily redacted 30-page lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase.  [...]

Days after the AG’s filing of the lawsuit — on New Year’s Eve — George was removed from her post. Local news outlets in the Virgin Islands reported that the attorney general had not informed the territory’s Gov. Albert Bryan about her impending enforcement action.

‘This was a quid pro quo’: Jeffrey Epstein survivors urge judge to green light suits against big banks, explicitly accuse Jes Staley

Mar 13th, 2023, 6:41 pm

Quote

Jeffrey Epstein survivors’ attorneys leveled their most direct allegations yet against financier Jes Staley, accusing the ex-JPMorgan Chase senior executive turned Barclays CEO of “participating” in the abuse.

[...]

Late last week, JPMorgan sued Staley — who once led its asset management and investment banking businesses — claiming that the executive “concealed his personal activities” with Epstein. Boies accused Staley on Monday of sexually abusing an Epstein victim.

If those allegations are true, JPMorgan’s lawyer Felicia Ellsworth said, they are “abhorrent” — but she said that they fall short of sex trafficking.

[...]

Boies and his co-counsel Sigrid McCawley hope to persuade a federal judge to greenlight their lawsuits accusing JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank of “complicity” with Epstein. The banks handled Epstein’s finances at different times in the late pedophile’s life, including periods after Epstein’s Florida prosecution.

JPMorgan and Deutsche asked the judge to dismiss the survivors’ lawsuits.

Those banks certainly handled Epstein's finances and manipulated them to appear legal. They assisted him in the operation of that trafficking ring. Why am I not surprised to see a senior executive also abused one of the victims. That doesn't make him a trafficker, just like Prince Andrew. But they sure helped to cover things up.

[Wistman]

There was some sort of connection to high finance.  It's not surprising to find bankers among the other high poobas who congregated at the Epstein teenage-dessert resorts.

Not sure this case can succeed though it's good to see the banks accused, as a reminder at least.  Elsewise the entire thing's being memory-holed.

He once worked in “high finance.”

The only way his victims were not notified in Florida, was if somebody bigger than the Justice Department, allowed it.

Only one government entity qualifies for that type of thing, and they’re called “high spies.”

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking, Virgin Islands tells judge

Mar 16th, 2023, 6:58 pm

Quote

Skewering JPMorgan’s attempt to deflect blame on its former senior executive Jes Staley, the Virgin Islands government told a judge on Thursday that the bank’s role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking went straight to the top.

“If Mr. Staley is a rogue employee, why isn’t Jamie Dimon?” the government’s private counsel Mimi Liu thundered, urging a judge to advance their lawsuit.

In August 2008, an internal JPMorgan email discussed the flow of Epstein’s assets, with a reference to “pending Dimon review.”

“That’s Jamie Dimon,” said Liu, an attorney at Motley Rice.

After that message, she noted, Epstein remained a client for five more years. The review occurred two years after Epstein’s arrest in Florida — and a little more than a month after Epstein’s guilty plea on June 30, 2008.

Good job to the Virgin Islands. Everyone in the VI knew what was going on at Little St James. I have no doubt that JPMorgan helped launder money for Epstein.

The sad thing is nothing will likely come from this. The powerful and famous get way too much protection in our legal system.

Jeffrey Epstein survivors and Virgin Islands government can pursue sex trafficking claims against JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank

Mar 20th, 2023, 1:50 pm

Quote

Jeffrey Epstein survivors and the Virgin Island government can pursue claims that JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank knowingly benefited from participating in a sex trafficking venture.

[...]

The ruling advances elements of all three pending Epstein-related lawsuits against JPMorgan and Deutsche. Epstein victims anonymized as Jane Doe filed separate lawsuits against each bank, and the Virgin Islands separately sued JPMorgan only. The mixed ruling gives the green light only to certain claims while dismissing others.

A surviving count in all three of the lawsuits accuses the institutions of knowingly benefiting from Epstein’s sex trafficking venture.

[...]

Judge Rakoff also allowed the survivors to try to prove that JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank obstructed enforcement of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, negligently failed to exercise reasonable care to prevent physical harm, and negligently failed to exercise reasonable care as a banking institution providing non-routine banking.

The order ratchets up scrutiny on the financial institutions, and its executives, who stand accused in civil court of “complicity” in Epstein’s sex trafficking empire.   [...]

Good article! It also includes Barclays. Gotta love that Email. I hope Barclays gets included in this too. I hope the victims and the Virgin Islands keep Epstein's memory alive and all his friends and associates in court for the next 50 years in spite of our judicial system. May they never know a day's peace!

In a possibly incidental but certainly grisly twist to the Epstein saga:

Steroid-selling ex-Jeffrey Epstein cellmate and cop convicted of executing 4 men, burying bodies in ‘mass grave’

Apr 7th, 2023, 8:54 am

Quote

A steroid-selling former police officer and onetime cellmate of Jeffrey Epstein was found guilty Thursday in the drug and debt-related execution murders of four Mexican men in April 2016.

Cop-turned-federal defendant Nicholas Tartaglione, a 55-year-old former Briarcliff Manor Police Department officer who reportedly retired after an injury in 2008, was convicted of luring Martin Luna to a meeting in 2016. Luna, 41, traveled to a bar with his 25- and 35-year-old nephews Miguel Luna and Urbano Santiago, and his friend Hector Gutierrez, 43. Martin Luna was strangled in front of his family members and friend. Thereafter, the three remaining victims were taken to Tartaglione’s Otisville, N.Y., property and shot in the back of the head. All of the victims were buried in a “mass grave.”

 

Quote

The case against Tartaglione has been in and out of the news since July 2019, when the former cop was jailed alongside Jeffrey Epstein.

The government formally acknowledged Tartaglione was Epstein’s cellmate after Epstein’s first reported suicide attempt. The DOJ memorably informed Tartaglione’s lawyer that video from outside the cell that July 2019 “no longer exists.”

Two weeks later and despite an “explicit directive” that he have a cellmate, Epstein died alone at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in what was ruled a suicide.

After the first hanging attempt, Tartaglione said he actually alerted jail staff and saved Epstein. His lawyer Bruce Barket commented in media that he was “pleased” to learn the video from the night in question was “preserved” (it wasn’t). The lawyer also said Tartaglione and Epstein became “friends” despite not being cellmates for very long.

“They became more than cordial,” Barket told the New York Daily News at the time. “In the short time they were together, they became friends.”
