JP Morgan voluntarily settled - they didn't "have" to pay anything since there wasn't a judgment or verdict against them. They paid 75M to the Virgin Islands and 290M to the victims in a class action. Of course, they had to be "victims" of something.

Good point! JP Morgan probably volunteered to pay to avoid being deposed because their involvement and the names of all the "clients" might have come out.

Your final question is profound and needs to be answered.

Agree 100%. It was also telling that Durbin decided immediately not to run for re-election after blocking the list from coming out. He knew there was no excuse for his actions.

With backing from the Intel Agencies (foreign and domestic) why would Epstein need to charge $ to his "clients?" He offered his girls for free, and the product that was manufactured was the leverage he created over these people. And it was sold to the Intel Agencies.

I hear that and don't disagree but remember Epstein also supposedly had a hedge fund and many of these "clients" were also investors who paid large fees to Epstein.
