US Virgin Islands government searching for Google co-founder Larry Page to serve subpoena for ties to Jeffrey Epstein
A judgment in favor of the US Virgin Islands' subpoena request for Google co-founder Larry Page has been issued by a federal judge in Manhattan. This decision is related to civil proceedings arising from JPMorgan Chase's purported links to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking.
In December, the US Virgin Islands initiated a legal action alleging that JP Morgan aided Epstein's sex trafficking enterprise by processing payments to recruiters and victims. Prosecutors asserted that JPMorgan managed about 55 accounts belonging to Epstein from 1998 to 2013, even after he was detained in Florida for soliciting minors.
As per court documents reviewed by The Independent on Thursday, May 4th, prosecutors have suggested that Epstein might have referred or attempted to refer Larry Page to JPMorgan. Page, who resigned as CEO of Google and its parent company Alphabet in 2019, is the subject of a subpoena that the US Virgin Islands government has been unsuccessful in serving through conventional methods since April. The government had engaged an investigative firm to track down the billionaire, but all addresses provided for him were found to be incorrect.
On Friday, May 5th, prosecutors submitted a request to Judge Jed Rakoff to enable alternative service via subpoena for Mr. Page to produce unspecified documents. The request was granted. This ruling occurred a few weeks before the scheduled deposition of JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon later this month.
Mr. Page is now obligated to produce all communication between himself and Epstein relating to JPMorgan dating back to 2002. Additionally, he has been requested to reveal any potential fees paid by either him or Epstein in connection with their accounts at JPMorgan, as well as all documents pertaining to or concerning Epstein's participation in human trafficking or his acquisition of girls or women for commercial sex.
Several influential individuals, including JPMorgan's former CEO Jes Staley, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and former Disney executive Michael Ovitz, have previously been subpoenaed by USVI prosecutors. The territory asserts that JPMorgan was involved in Epstein's criminal activities due to "the business opportunities referred to [it] by Epstein and his co-conspirators in exchange for its known facilitation of and implicit participation in Epstein's sex trafficking venture."
As reported by The Wall Street Journal in a comprehensive article released, the group of prominent individuals worldwide who persisted in meeting with Epstein following his initial conviction for sex offenses was significantly larger than previously disclosed.
The paper utilized source documents, which included Epstein's schedules, to establish meetings between the disreputable financier and various individuals such as the present director of the CIA, a former White House lawyer, a college president, and a member of an international banking family subsequent to his 2008 conviction for engaging in sexual activity with an underage girl. Nevertheless, none of these individuals' names seemed to be listed in Epstein's "black book" pertaining to Little St. James.
