Follow The Money: Jamie Dimon And His Jeffrey Epstein Related Apology

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, expressed regret over the bank’s prolonged relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, stating in depositions that while he believed the bank committed no crime, he would personally apologize if the firm had eased or accelerated the investigation into Epstein’s misconduct. He emphasized that he was unaware of Epstein’s trafficking operation until it “blew wide open” during Epstein’s arrest in 2019, and asserted that he had no personal contact or communication with Epstein prior to that time. Dimon placed responsibility for client monitoring on JPMorgan’s general counsel and other executives, and noted that if the firm had known the full extent of Epstein’s crimes earlier, they would have terminated the relationship immediately.

Despite Dimon’s expressed regret and conditional apology, critics argue it reflects the bank’s broader failure of oversight rather than a true acknowledgment of responsibility. Internal documents revealed that senior executives had received multiple warnings about Epstein’s suspicious conduct dating back to at least 2006, including a 2011 email from the general counsel labeling Epstein as “not a person we should do business with”—yet the bank continued servicing him through 2013. Dimon’s narrative of ignorance appeared rehearsed in depositions, eliciting skepticism given the clear record of internal red flags that were ignored. His apology, while polite, is viewed by many as too little, too late—a reputational gesture that does not absolve the institution from the moral and operational failures exposed by the litigation.
