Emails and Bank statements from the newly released Epstein files provide fresh insight into how Ghislaine Maxwell kept her substantial fortune intact just months after JPMorgan Chase decided to cut ties with her longtime associate, Jeffrey Epstein. The documents reveal that Swiss banking behemoth UBS stepped up to manage Maxwell’s finances, helping her maintain control over as much as $19 million in the years leading up to her sex-trafficking conviction.
It’s pretty wild how quickly Maxwell was able to move her money right around the time JPMorgan decided they didn’t want Epstein’s business anymore. Back in 2011, while performing standard know-your-customer checks, JPMorgan advised internally that Maxwell should be flagged as a “High Risk Client” because of her links to Epstein, whose accounts were closed in 2013. Epstein had already pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl in 2008.
