JPMorgan employees internally flagged Jeffrey Epstein’s large cash withdrawals two years before he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution, according to new court papers filed on 12 April.

A JPMorgan risk-management team in 2006 noted that Epstein “routinely” made cash withdrawals of $40,000 to $80,000 several times a month, the US Virgin Islands said in an amended lawsuit against the bank. At the time, Epstein was pulling more than $750,000 a year in cash from the bank, according to the lawsuit.
