Jeffrey Epstein victim Sarah Ransome says her JPMorgan boyfriend told her not to tell police about him while they were dating

A Jeffrey Epstein victim said she dated a JPMorgan employee who told her not to report his abuse to the police — while the pedophile financier was another of the bank’s clients.

Sarah Ransome, who was 22 when Epstein began abusing her in 2006, said she was in a relationship with a senior employee at JPMorgan and told him what was going on, but he encouraged her to “go ahead and do this whole thing.” thing to forget’.

The bank has been accused in lawsuits of keeping Epstein as a client, even though it knew of his abuse. It allegedly facilitated its abuse by providing financial services.

Ransome previously revealed in her memoir, Silenced No More, that she dated a senior banker who told her not to go to the police. But he was only identified as ‘Dan’, a pseudonym, and the couch was not mentioned.

She has now told The everyday beast that Dan, whose identity has not been disclosed, was an employee of JPMorgan. She said that while her ex-boyfriend didn’t work in the bank’s private banking division, which counted Epstein as a client, she wonders if Dan was still aware of the connection.

“Whatever to do with Epstein, there’s no such thing as coincidence,” she told The Daily Beast, adding that JPMorgan “has a lot to answer for.”

“In light of everything that’s come out with JPMorgan lately, I can’t be quiet.”

Born in South Africa and moving to Scotland at the age of 14, Ransome was lured to Epstein’s web by one of his recruiters after coming to New York to become a model.

Epstein claimed he had connections at FIT, the fashion school in New York, and Ransome has said he “used my education as a way to trade my soul to the devil and become a sex slave to pay for college.”

While the college placement never happened, the inability to have sex with Epstein would cause him to refuse to support her any more, leaving Ransome penniless and with no prospect of working as a model, she claims.

She was in a relationship with the JPMorgan associate from 2007 to 2008.

“I told him I was raped,” she said. “I told him I was being traded. He knew what was done to me. But I was so confused… (He) didn’t say, ‘Hey, let’s go to the authorities.’ He said, “No, no, no, don’t go.”

Ransome said she eventually left the US for London to escape Epstein’s abuse, but that the boyfriend followed her and “love-bombed” her.

She wrote in her memoir, “I had a funny feeling about Dan. I still do… Once when I told him I might go to the authorities, he said, ‘Why don’t you just move on and forget about this whole thing?’

“I have no proof that they were connected,” she added of Dan and Epstein. “There was just a question mark in my stomach, the kind of suspicion I sometimes ignored at my peril…”

The Daily Beast also reported that it reviewed emails between Ransome and Dan sent from his JPMorgan email address.

After Epstein’s imprisonment in Florida, he emailed Ransome about the news with the note “finally.” The Daily Beast said Dan did not respond to questions about the alleged behavior. JPMorgan was approached for comment.

Epstein was a client of JPMorgan from 1998 to 2013.

The bank is facing lawsuits over allegations that it knew about his depraved behavior but failed to drop him as a client.

Recent lawsuits allege that JPMorgan considered Chase Epstein “too big to fail” and so kept him as a client even after his 2006 sexual crimes indictment in Florida over his connections to the rich and powerful.

The U.S. Virgin Islands revealed the new allegations in July in a court memorandum, as part of its ongoing lawsuit against JPMorgan over the giant bank’s ties to former client Epstein.

The area is suing JPMorgan for at least $190 million, saying the bank ignored warning signs about convicted sex offender Epstein because he was a wealthy and lucrative client.

Epstein owned the islands of Little St James and Great St James in the US Virgin Islands. Little St James was nicknamed “pedophile island” after Epstein used it to abuse his victims.

Recent court documents show that former JPMorgan CEO Jes Staley testified under oath that he had discussed Epstein’s “very public” 2006 indictment with the bank’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, at the time it made headlines.

Dimon has previously denied any knowledge of Epstein or his account with JPMorgan until his 2019 arrest on federal charges, saying he could not recall any conversations about Epstein with top lieutenants.

Staley, 66, ran JPMorgan’s wealth management business from 2001 to 2009, and its corporate and investment bank from 2009 to 2013. He later served as CEO of Barclays Plc for six years.

JPMorgan is suing Staley separately to cover his losses in the lawsuits brought by the USVI and Epstein’s victims, claiming he concealed what he knew about the disgraced financier and vouched for him internally.

Staley has acknowledged being friends with Epstein but denied knowing about his sex trafficking, accusing JPMorgan of using him as a “public relations shield” to deflect blame for his own failures working with Epstein .

Epstein had been a client of JPMorgan from 1998 until the bank fired him in 2013, years after his 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor in the Florida state case.

He died of an apparent suicide in a Manhattan prison cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking with dozens of girls when they were just 14 years old.

The U.S. Virgin Islands accused JPMorgan of turning a blind eye to Epstein’s crimes, alleging that the bank “knowingly handled virtually any financial transaction Epstein needed to conduct his sex trafficking enterprise.”

“Epstein was too big to fail,” territory lawyers argue.
