In the Epstein-related civil lawsuit between the U.S. Virgin Islands and JPMorgan Chase, the two sides agreed to a sweeping protective order designed to tightly control how evidence would be handled during discovery. The order allowed both parties to designate large volumes of documents, testimony, and exhibits as confidential or highly confidential, restricting their public release and limiting access to attorneys, experts, and the court. Given the sensitive nature of the case—touching on allegations of sex trafficking, financial compliance failures, and internal bank communications—the protective order functioned as a framework to keep potentially explosive material out of the public eye while the litigation moved forward.


At the same time, the scope of the protective order drew criticism because it effectively placed a veil over records that could illuminate how Epstein was able to operate financially for years. By shielding internal emails, compliance reviews, and banking records from immediate disclosure, the agreement reinforced concerns that civil litigation was once again prioritizing institutional risk management over public accountability. While such orders are common in complex financial cases, in the context of Epstein, the arrangement underscored the tension between protecting sensitive information and the public’s interest in understanding how powerful institutions may have enabled or ignored a known predator.
