Thank you to our sponsors, Mantle!On this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts Ram Ahluwalia, Austin Campbell, and Chris Perkins are joined by Elisabeth Kirby, Head of Market Structure at Tradeweb, for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of crypto markets — and who will control them. They unpack why US market structure legislation stalled, how the SEC's enforcement-first approach shaped the last cycle, and what it signals that JPMorgan, BlackRock, and others are moving forward with tokenization. The group debates whether Ethereum's institutional edge is durable, whether Canton can scale beyond early adopters, and why Solana's “decentralized Nasdaq” vision still faces hard questions. The episode closes with a sober look at macro conditions, risk appetite, and why crypto may be stuck waiting, even as the long-term institutional thesis quietly strengthens.

Today's episode breaks down a landmark moment for tokenization as the Depository Trust Company receives SEC approval to begin putting US public market securities on chain. The discussion covers what the no-action letter allows, why DTCC's role matters, how this could enable 24/7 settlement and programmable assets for stocks, ETFs, and Treasuries, and why this move represents the most credible path yet toward decentralized capital markets. The episode also examines parallel developments from Coinbase, JPMorgan, and Tether, and why tokenization may transform market structure even if it doesn't immediately boost crypto token prices.

Crypto News: Bitcoin price pullsback. JPMorgan Launches Tokenized Money Market Fund on Ethereum. The senate markup on the crypto market structure bill (CLARITY Act) gets delayed. Brought to you by
The Crypto Town Hall discussion centers on the current stagnant state of the cryptocurrency market despite significant positive developments. Bitcoin hovers around $87,157, and Ethereum has dropped below $3,000, reflecting mixed and somewhat weak price movements amid widespread investor exhaustion. The crypto fear and greed index sits near historic lows, signaling deep market pessimism even as major financial institutions like JP Morgan begin accepting Bitcoin as collateral, and products such as Solana futures emerge on platforms like Charles Schwab. Panelists debate the relevance of the traditional four-year Bitcoin cycle, with many expressing skepticism about its predictive power given the unusual market behavior and absence of typical altcoin rallies. The conversation highlights how the market is undergoing a “stress test,” which, if survived, could strengthen Bitcoin's position as digital gold. Despite the bearish sentiment, some investors are actively buying dips, hoping for lower prices to accumulate more assets. The panel also examines the fragmented landscape of blockchain projects, labeling many as “zombie chains” that dilute attention and capital, while noting that DeFi protocols show more mature, measurable fundamentals.

Denise George, during her tenure as Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands, pushed aggressively to keep certain Epstein-related records sealed as she built a wide-ranging investigation into Epstein's criminal network and the financial infrastructure that supported it. Her position wasn't about protecting Epstein—it was about preserving the integrity of an active, highly sensitive investigation involving powerful institutions, international financial flows, and potential co-conspirators who had not yet been publicly named. George argued repeatedly in court filings that premature disclosure of subpoenas, deposition transcripts, banking records, and witness identities could alert targets, jeopardize evidence, and compromise ongoing law-enforcement efforts. She maintained that the scope of Epstein's activity in the USVI was deeper and more complex than previously understood, and that investigators needed the shield of sealed records to pursue leads without interference.At the same time, George's insistence on sealing certain documents reflected her awareness that the investigation threatened politically connected figures in the Virgin Islands and beyond. She sought to prevent leaks that could give advance warning to individuals who might destroy documents, move assets, or coordinate stories. Her critics accused her of being overly secretive, but George countered that the secrecy was temporary, legally justified, and essential to holding powerful actors accountable. Ironically, after she filed a sweeping lawsuit against JPMorgan alleging the bank knowingly enabled Epstein's trafficking operation, she was fired by the governor—an event that only amplified scrutiny of why the sealed records mattered and who might have been implicated. Her push to maintain strict confidentiality was ultimately part of a larger strategy: protect the investigation first, then reveal the truth once the evidence was secured.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
In its efforts to trace how Jeffrey Epstein's finances may have enabled or obscured his sex-trafficking operations, the U.S. Virgin Islands government has issued subpoenas and pursued information from multiple major financial institutions believed to have handled Epstein's accounts or related entities. Court filings and investigative reporting show that banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and Citibank were subpoenaed for records, transaction details, and internal communications about Epstein and the dozens of corporations, trusts, and nonprofit entities tied to him. These subpoenas aimed to uncover how his financial activities may have been facilitated or ignored by these institutions as part of the broader justice effort. Other financial entities reportedly included in subpoenas or scrutiny were Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, Bank Leumi, Wells Fargo, Northern Trust, and Silicon Valley Bank, reflecting the government's attempt to map the full extent of Epstein's banking relationships and financial flows.The most significant legal action has centered on JPMorgan Chase, which the USVI AG sued in federal court in New York in 2022, alleging that the bank “facilitated and concealed wire and cash transactions” that were part of Epstein's criminal enterprise and “financially benefitted” from his activities. JPMorgan ultimately agreed to pay $75 million to the USVI to settle those claims, acknowledging its past handling of Epstein's accounts but denying wrongdoing, while separate settlements with victims brought additional payouts tied to the bank's oversight failures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors and author of The Institutional Risk Analyst blog, joins The Julia La Roche Show for "The Wrap with Chris Whalen." Whalen breaks down the latest FOMC meeting, revealing a divided Fed with no clear consensus on future rate cuts. He predicts a home price correction coming and also warns of a brewing crisis in private equity, where 15-20% of companies are insolvent and relying on payment-in-kind structures. Whalen also discusses JPMorgan's surprise expense guidance this week, the Fed's Reserve Management Purchases (and whether it's QE by another name), and explains why the commercial real estate market remains a major risk. He expects higher bank earnings next year despite hidden dangers in lending to non-depository financial institutions, and shares his skeptical view on stablecoins and AI infrastructure spending.Links: The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/ https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/post/theira785Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen Website: https://www.rcwhalen.com/ Timestamps:00:00 Intro and welcome Chris Whalen00:49 FOMC meeting recap04:03 Inflation as the #1 issue for Americans05:13 Home price correction coming06:03 Commercial real estate crisis deepening07:25 Fed's Reserve Management Purchases explained09:22 Fed managing liquidity into year-end11:35 JPMorgan's surprise expense guidance14:33 NDFIs: Lending reminiscent of 1920s practices15:45 Private equity insolvency crisis?

AI has become inescapable over the past years, with the technology being integrated into tools that most people use every day. This has raised some important questions about the associated risks and benefits related to AI. Those developing software and services that include AI are also coming under increasing scrutiny, from both consumers and legislators, regarding the transparency of their tools. This ranges from how safe they are to use to where the training data for their systems originates from. This is especially true of already heavily regulated industries, such as the financial sector. Today's guest saw the writing on the wall while developing their unique AI software, that helps the financial sector detect fraud, and got a jump start on becoming accredited to the world's first best practice Standard for AI, ISO 42001 AI Management. In this episode, Mel Blackmore is joined by Rachel Churchman, The Global Head of GRC at Umony, to discuss their journey towards ISO 42001 certification, including the key drivers, lessons learned, and benefits gained from implementation. You'll learn · Who is Rachel? · Who are Umony? · Why did Umony want to implement ISO 42001? · What were the key drivers behind gaining ISO 42001 certification? · How long did it take to implement ISO 42001? · What was the biggest gap identified during the Gap Analysis? · What did Umony learn from implementing ISO 42001? · What difference did bridging this gap make? · What are the main benefits of ISO 42001? · The importance of accredited certification · Rachel's top tip for ISO 42001 Implementation Resources · Umony · Isologyhub In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – Mel is joined by Rachel Churchman, The Global Head of GRC at Umony, to explore their journey towards ISO 42001 certification. [02:15] Who is Rachel?: Rachel Churchman is currently The Global Head of GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) at Umony, however keen listeners to the show may recognise her as she was once a part of the Blackmores team. She originally created the ISO 42001 toolkit for us while starting the Umony project under Blackmores but made the switch from consultant to client during the project. [04:15] Who are Umony? Umony operate in the financial services industry. For context, in that industry every form of communication matters, and there are regulatory requirements for firms to capture, archive and supervise all business communications. That covers quite a lot! From phone calls, to video calls, instant messaging etc, and failures to capture that info can lead to fines. Umony are a compliance technology company operating within the financial services space, and provide a platform that can capture all that communications data and store that securely. [05:55] Why did Umony embark on their ISO 42001 journey? Umony have recently developed an AI platform call CODA, which uses advanced AI to review all communications to detect financial risks such as market abuse, fraud or other misconduct. This will flag those potential high-risk communications to a human to continue the process. The benefit of this is that rather than financial institutions only being able to monitor a very small set of communications due to it being a very labour intensive task, this AI system would allow for monitoring of 100% of communications with much more ease. Ultimately, it's taking communications capture from reactive compliance to proactive oversight. [08:15] Led by industry professionals: Umony have quite the impressive advisory board, made up of both regulatory compliance personnel as well as AI technology experts. This includes the likes of Dr.Thomas Wolfe, Co-Founder of Hugging Face, former Chief Compliance Officer at JP Morgan and the CEO of the FCA. [09:00] What were the key drivers behind obtaining ISO 42001 certification? Originally, Rachel had been working for Blackmores to assist Umony with their ISO 27001:2022 transition back in early 2024. At the time, they had just started to develop their AI platform CODA. Rachel learned about what they were developing and mentioned that a new Standard was recently published to address AI specifically. After some discussion, Umony felt that ISO 42001 would be greatly beneficial as it took a proactive approach to effective AI management. While they were still in the early stages of creating CODA they wanted to utilise best practice Standards to ensure that the responsible and ethical development of this new AI system. When compared to ISO 27001, ISO 42001 provided more of a secure development lifecycle and was a better fit for CODA as it explores AI risks in particular. These risks include considerations for things like transparency of data, risk of bias and other ethical risks related to AI. At the time, no one was asking for companies to be certified to ISO 42001, so it wasn't a case of industry pressure for Umony, they simply knew that this was the right thing to do. Rachel was keen to sink her teeth into the project because the Standard was so new that Umony would be early adopters. It was so new, that certification bodies weren't even accredited to the Standard when they were implementing the Standard. [12:20] How long did it take to get ISO 42001 certified? Rachel started working with Anna Pitt-Stanley, COO of Umony, around April 2024. However the actual project work didn't start until October 2024, Umony already had a fantastic head start with ISO 27001 in place, and so project completion wrapped up around July of 2025. They had their pre-assessment with BSI in July, which Rachel considered a real value add for ISO 42001 as it gave them more information from the assessors point of view for what they were looking for in the Management System. This then led onto Stage 1 in August 2025 and Stage 2 in early September 2025. That is an unusually short period of time between a Stage 1 & 2, but they were in remarkably good shape at the end of Stage 1 and could confidently tackle Stage 2 in quick succession. The BSI technical audit finished at the end of September, so in total from start to finish the Implementation of ISO 42001 took just under 12 months. [15:50] What was the biggest gap identified during the Gap Analysis? A lot of the AI specific requirements were completely new to this Standard, so processes and documentation relating to things like 'AI Impact Assessment' had to be put in place. ISO 42001 includes an Annex A which details a lot of the AI related technical controls, these are unique to this Standard, so their current ISO 27001 certification didn't cover these elements. These weren't unexpected gaps, the biggest surprise to Rachel was the concept of an AI life cycle. This concept and its related objectives underpin the whole management system and its aims. It covers the utilisation or development of AI all the way through to the retirement of an AI system. It's not a standalone process and differs from ISO 27001's secure development life cycle, which is a contained subset of controls. ISO 42001's AI life cycle in comparison is integrated throughout the entire process and is a main driver for the management system. [19:30] What difference did bridging this gap make? After Umony understood the AI life cycle approach and how it applied to everything, it made implementing the Standard a lot easier. It became the golden thread that ran through the entire management system. They were building into an existing ISMS, and as a result it created a much more holistic management system. It also helped with the internal auditing, as you can't take a process approach to auditing in ISO 42001 because controls can't be audited in isolation. [21:30] What did Umony learn from Implementing ISO 42001? Rachel in particular learned a lot, not just with ISO 42001 but with AI itself. AI is new to a lot of people, herself included, and it can be difficult to distinguish what is considered a risk or opportunity regarding AI. In reality, it's very much a mix of the two. There's a lot of risk around data transparency, bias and data poisoning as well as new risks popping up all the time due to the developing technology. There's also a creeping issue of shadow IT, which is where employees may use hardware of software that hasn't been verified or validated by the company. For example, many people have their own Chat GPT accounts, but do you have oversight of what emplyees may be putting into that AI tool to help with their own tasks? On a more positive note, there are so many opportunities that AI can provide. Whether that's productivity, helping people focus more on the strategic elements of their role or reduction of tedious tasks. Umony is a great example of where an AI has been developed to serve a very specific purpose, preventing or highlighting potential fraud in a highly regulated industry. They're not the only one, with many others developing equally crucial AI systems to tackle some of our most labour-intensive tasks. In terms of experience with Implementing ISO 42001, Rachel feels it cemented her opinion that an ISO Standard provides a best practice framework that is the right way to go about managing AI in an organisation. Whether you're developing it, using it or selling it, ISO 42001 puts in place the right guardrails to make sure that AI is used responsibly, ethically, and that people understand the risks and opportunities associated with AI. [26:30] What benefits were gained from Implementing ISO 42001? The biggest benefit is having those AI related processes in place, regardless of if you go for certification. Umony in particular were keen to ensure that their certification was accredited, as this is a recognised certification. With Umony being part of such a regulated industry, it made sense that this was a high priority. As a result, they went with BSI as their Certification Body, who were one of the first CB's in the UK to get IAF accredited, quickly followed by UKAS accreditation. [27:55] The Importance of accredited certification: Sadly, a new Standard creates a lot of tempting offers from cowboy certification bodies that operate without a recognised accreditation. They will offer a very quick and cheap route to certification, usually provided through a generic management system which isn't reflective of how you work. Their certificate will also not hold up to scrutiny as it's not accredited with any recognisable body. For the UK this is UKAS, who is the only body in the UK under the IAF that is able to certify companies to be able to provide a valid accredited certificate. There's are easily available tools to help identify if a certificate is accredited or not, so it's best to go through the proper channels in the first place! Other warning signs of cowboy companies to look out for include: · Off the shelf Management system provided for a fee · Offering of both consultancy and certification services – no accredited CB can provide both to a client, as this is a conflict of interest. · A 5 – 10 year contract It's vital that you use an accredited Certification Body, as they will leave no stone unturned when evaluating your Management System. They are there to help you, not judge you, and will ensure that you have the upmost confidence in your management system once you've passed assessment. Umony were pleased to have only received 1 minor non-conformity through the entire assessment process. A frankly astounding result for such a new and complex Standard! [32:15] Rachel's top tip: Firstly, get a copy of the Standard. Unlike a lot of other Standards where you have to buy another Standard to understand the first one, ISO 42001 provides all that additional guidance in its annexes. Annex B in particular is a gold mine for knowledge in understanding how to implement the technical controls required for ISO 42001. It also points towards other helpful supporting Standards as well, that cover aspects like AI risks and AI life cycle in more detail. Rachel's second tip is: You need to scope out your Management System before you start diving into the creation of the documentation. This scoping process is much more in-depth for ISO 42001 than with other ISO Standards as it gets you to understand your role from an AI perspective. It helps determine whether you're an AI user, producer or provider, it also gets you to understand what the management system is going to cover. This creates your baseline for the AI life cycle and AI risk profile. These you need to get right from the start, as they guide the entire management system. If you've already got an ISO Standard in place, you cannot simply re-use the existing scope, as it will be different for ISO 42001. If you're struggling, CB's like BSI can help you with this.

The Fed's interest rate decision Wednesday afternoon will be crucial for the macro front, though Diane King Hall turns her attention to micro movers. She notes PepsiCo's (PEP) bullish hopes to boost sales and cut costs, leading JPMorgan to turn bullish on the stock.

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Eugenio Garibay se sumergen en el regreso del mercado de IPOs en Estados Unidos, con un 2025 que marca el “re‑encendido” de las salidas a bolsa y prepara el terreno para un 2026 cargado de operaciones emblemáticas como el posible IPO de SpaceX. A partir de ahí, conectan este renovado apetito por riesgo con un entorno de política monetaria menos restrictiva.La conversación se mueve luego al frente macro, donde el último dato de JOLTS confirma un mercado laboral que pierde presión sin romperse, alimentando la narrativa de “aterrizaje suave” que tanto sigue la Reserva Federal y los inversionistas globales. Desde esa base, el episodio explora cómo un mercado laboral más equilibrado abre espacio para recortes de tasas en 2026.Finalmente, el episodio cierra con la historia del día en banca, la fuerte caída de JPMorgan tras su actualización de gastos y el mensaje más cauto sobre el consumidor estadounidense. Eugenio y Andre analizan si el castigo al banco líder del sistema financiero es una sobrerreacción o una señal temprana de que el sector está entrando en una fase de márgenes más estrechos.

Ariel Harmoko is the Co Founder and CEO of Artifact AI. Ariel joined James and Hector for a conversation that moves from race tracks to reconciliation engines.Ariel grew up in Jakarta, was thrown into Go Karts at eight, and went on to race professionally all the way to Formula 3 alongside the likes of Lando Norris and George Russell. That early immersion in high performance teams, engineering and discipline shaped how he now operates as a founder.He shares how a love of maths and science took him to boarding school in the UK, then into machine learning research at Cambridge while still a teenager, working on early diagnosis in medtech and later deploying internal GPT tools at JP Morgan.Today Ariel is building Artifact AI, an “agent accountant” that sits on top of existing ledgers like Xero, QuickBooks and NetSuite. The product tackles two huge problems for accounting firms. Fragmented legacy stacks and chronic staff shortages. Ariel explains how their agents ingest data, reconcile, post to ledgers and learn from human review, and why accuracy, auditability and trust are non negotiable in this space.The conversation covers selling into one of the most conservative industries on earth, founder led FDE style implementations, why advisory is the real margin in accounting, and how vertical AI and agentic workflows could reshape professional services.

Send us a textSarah Kapnick literally trained under John Nash at Princeton, went from structuring catastrophe bonds at Goldman during Hurricane Katrina, to serving as Chief Scientist at NOAA, and is now Global Head of Climate Advisory at JPMorgan. She's part mathematician, part climate scientist, part Wall Street insider – and the godmother of The Wall Street Skinny, the person who first convinced Jen to go into finance. This interview has been two and a half years in the making, and it's easily one of the most full-circle, “how is this one person real?” conversations we've ever had.We get into the math of predicting the future: how fluid dynamics and game theory show up in Black-Scholes, what “1-in-100 year events” actually mean over a 30-year mortgage, and why climate risk isn't a political side quest but a massive driver of returns, insurance pricing, and portfolio construction. Sarah explains cat bonds in plain English, walks through physical vs. transition risk, and connects wildfires, hurricanes, nuclear, fusion, and geothermal to the way capital is being allocated right now. If you care about making or losing money over the next few decades, this is not optional listening.We also talk mentorship, careers, and what it looks like to build a non-linear, insanely high-impact path across science, government, and Wall Street while raising a young family. Sarah shares how she decides when to leave a prestigious job, what she tells the next generation of math and science nerds curious about finance, and how she translates hardcore climate science for CEOs, investors, and ultra-high-net-worth clients. Even if you think “climate isn't for me,” this episode will change how you think about risk, opportunity, and the future.Learn more about 9fin HERE Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Congress obtaining Jeffrey Epstein's banking records marks one of the most significant breakthroughs in the long-delayed financial side of the investigation. After years of stonewalling, federal agencies and major banks have finally begun turning over detailed transaction histories tied to Epstein's accounts, including those held at JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank. Lawmakers say these records contain years of wire transfers, shell-company activity, large unexplained cash movements, and internal communications about Epstein's status as a client. For the first time, congressional investigators will be able to trace how Epstein moved money, who benefited from those movements, and which institutions looked the other way while red flags piled up.The release of these records also signals a broader shift toward transparency after Congress passed legislation compelling agencies to hand over previously sealed material connected to Epstein and his network. Members of the oversight committees have stated that these financial disclosures could answer long-standing questions about who financially enabled Epstein, who may have participated in or profited from his criminal enterprises, and whether federal regulators failed to act despite knowing the gravity of the allegations. With Congress now in possession of the banking paperwork Epstein fought for decades to keep in the dark, the investigation is expected to accelerate — and the list of individuals and institutions with potential exposure is likely to grow, not shrink.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawmakers obtain Epstein banking records, release photos of his private island compound - CBS News
In the clearest possible terms, the financial network surrounding Jeffrey Epstein was not an accident, an anomaly, or the work of a lone predator—it was a deliberately constructed ecosystem enabled by billionaires, institutions, and the largest bank in the United States. Figures like Les Wexner and Leon Black didn't just brush up against Epstein; they empowered him, legitimized him, and embedded him inside their financial worlds. Wexner gave Epstein unprecedented legal control over his empire through power-of-attorney arrangements and trust structures that effectively turned Epstein into the architect of Wexner's personal and philanthropic machinery. Black, for his part, funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Epstein under the guise of “consulting,” using offshore pathways and fee structures so inexplicable that financial experts still can't reconcile the numbers. These weren't casual business relationships—they were pipelines, mechanisms, and conduits that allowed Epstein to scale his influence far beyond what any conventional résumé could justify.But none of Epstein's financial maneuvering would have been possible without JPMorgan Chase, whose private-banking division knowingly ignored internal warnings, suspicious activity reports, and staff concerns because Epstein delivered access to elite clients and deep-pocketed networks. The bank's compliance failures weren't accidental—they represented a strategic blindness, a willingness to override red flags in pursuit of profit and prestige. Taken together, Wexner's access, Black's money, and JPMorgan's infrastructure formed the backbone of Epstein's financial power. And that is precisely why Congress avoids digging into this side of the scandal: following the money wouldn't just expose Epstein—it would expose the machinery that enabled him, and the institutions that still shape American economic and political life today.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
James Staley's reply memorandum in support of his motion for summary judgment argues that he should not be held liable in the case brought by the Government of the United States Virgin Islands and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. He asserts that there is no evidence proving his involvement in or knowledge of any alleged misconduct, specifically emphasizing that the claims lack material facts directly linking him to any fraudulent activities or conspiracies. Staley requests the court to dismiss the claims against him based on the lack of substantive evidence, arguing that the legal standards for summary judgment have been.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.591653.332.0.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Send us a textHow do we bring spiritual practices into our everyday working lives? This adaptive challenge requires a new path—one where risk becomes stewardship, attention becomes a sacred resource, and everyday tasks turn into a living conversation with God. In this episode, Bishop Wright has a conversation with Dr. Chip Roper, founder and president of the VOCA Center. Chip's journey from profit-chasing ambition to seminary and back into the marketplace as an executive coach gives him rare range: he understands performance pressure, pastoral care, and the hard realities of modern organizations. Bishop Wright and Dr. Roper dig into the quiet epidemic of workplace loneliness and the surprising data showing how few professionals tap spiritual resources when the heat is on. From Jesus' words about doing only what the Father is doing to the easy yoke that lightens our overwork, Chip maps out a way to lead with courage and calm. Listen in for the full conversation.Dr. Chip Roper is the Founder and President of the VOCA Center, a faith-based organization driven to equip Christians to approach their daily work with God's wisdom and power. With an Executive Coaching Certification from Columbia University and a Doctorate of Ministry from Missio Seminary, Chip tackles client challenges from 30+ years of P/L leadership responsibility as a small businessman, a pastor, a career coach, and a business consultant. Chip's clients are found at Blackstone, Sunrise Brokers, JP Morgan, Randall-Reilly, Goldman Sachs, Nielson, Knopman Marks, and CNBC.Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.
In the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, a class action lawsuit titled Jane Doe 1, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. JP Morgan Chase & Co. was filed. The complaint represented not only Jane Doe 1, but a broader group of alleged victims who claimed they suffered harm tied to the actions—and alleged inaction—of JP Morgan Chase & Co. The filing formally demanded a jury trial, signaling the plaintiffs' intention to take the allegations into open court rather than resolve them quietly behind closed doors.The case was framed as both an individual and a class action complaint, raising the stakes considerably for the financial giant. By categorizing it this way, the plaintiffs positioned their claims as part of a larger systemic issue involving an entire group of alleged victims. The filing marked the beginning of what later became one of the most scrutinized legal battles connected to the Jeffrey Epstein network, setting the stage for intense public inquiry into the bank's role and potential liability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - 00513854.DOCX
