101
+ Lieutenant
102
+ -Ann Cannonier,
103
+ she's currently the director of
104
+ investigations for VIPD for the last two
105
+ and a half years. She's been with the
106
+ VIPD for 26 years. If the complaint was
107
+ lodged with VIPD a case number would
108
+ have been developed and generated. VIPD
109
+ asserts that there have been
110
+ • no
111
+ complaints made.
112
+ And then for me, what my
113
+ understanding of this proceeding is, is
114
+ that I'm prepared to answer questions on
115
+ investigations and investigation
116
+ monitoring steps.
117
+ e.
118
+ Is that all the notes?

228
+ A.
229
+ I would say that it's going
230
+ further from my, me personally going out
231
+ to the island having done investigation
232
+ work, but from a natural resource
233
+ perspective. And then if, again
234
+ speaking on behalf of the government,
235
+ that there were questions from VIPD and
236
+ whether or not they did any
237
+ investigations or monitoring.
238
+ Okay. So I'm going to read you
239
+ the topic which is "investigations or
240
+ investigative or monitoring steps
241
+ concerning Epstein or his companies
242
+ undertaken by the Virgin Islands Police
243
+ Department or the DPNR that occurred
244
+ prior to December Ist, 2020."
245
+ Is that what you understand
246

+ today?

302

303
+ To the best of my ability, yes.
304

307

309

310

26
+ cv-10904-JSR (S.D.N.Y.) - Letter Brief Pursuant to July 7, 2023 Order
27
+ Dear Judge Rakoff:
28
+ The Government of the United States Virgin Islands ("USVI"), submits this Letter Brief in
29
+ further support of its Motion to Strike Defendant's Affirmative Defenses 5 Through 8 (Dkt. 138,
30
+ 139) and in response to the Court's July 7, 2023 Order (Dkt. 204), requesting further briefing on
31
+ "the interests [USVI] is asserting and the kinds and amounts of damages it is seeking." Id. at 2.
32
+ Pursuant to its claims under the TVPA and CICO, the USVI's initial Complaint sought
33
+ proprietary damages in the form of tax revenue, in addition to traditional parens patriae remedies.
34
+ In light of the Court's decision on the Motion to Dismiss, the USVI dropped its claims for
35
+ proprietary damages for its own losses or harms. Dkt. 200 at 2. Each of the remedies the USVI
36
+ now seeks will vindicate quasi-sovereign interests. Thus, as explained in the initial briefing,
37
+ JPMorgan's affirmative defenses are unavailable.
38
+ The Court previously found that:
39
+ The USVI's asserted interest in "assuring its residents it will act to protect them from the
40
+ harmful effects of criminal sex-trafficking enterprises flourishing in the Islands that are
41
+ their home" is indeed general (as all interests that ground parens patriae standing must be);
42
+ but it directly parallels the interest that Puerto Rico successfully asserted in Snapp which
43
+ was an interest in "assuring its residents that it will act to protect them from ... the harmful
44
+ effects of discrimination." [Alfred L. Snapp & Son, Inc. v. Puerto Rico, 458 U.S. 592, 609
45
+ (1982)]. Indeed, the similarities between the interest asserted by the USVI here and that
46
+ asserted by Puerto Rico in Snapp are considerable. Dkt. 130 at 18.
47
+ Like the government plaintiff in Snapp, the USVI seeks "declaratory relief with respect to
48
+ the past practices of petitioners and injunctive relief requiring petitioners to conform to the relevant

55
+ federal statutes and regulations in the future." Snapp, 458 U.S. at 598-99; see FAC 4109 (seeking
56
+ injunctive relief and such other relief as the Court deems appropriate); SAC 9119 (same). The
57
+ USVI seeks an injunction to prevent JPMorgan from participating in sex trafficking ventures in
58
+ the future and to protect and prevent potential future victims of traffickers. FAC 9109; 2AC, M9l
59
+ 119, 168 (same). An injunction is widely recognized to be appropriate (even quintessential) relief
60
+ for a state attorney general bringing suit as parens patriae.'
61
+ The injunction the USVI seeks is guided by the opinions of its expert witnesses:
62
+ Professor Robert L.
63
+ , Jr., former Commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
64
+ Commission ("SEC*"), describes "alternative relief" that he approved and oversaw as
65
+ Copoman in is case i. lier of Seport of Rober SA violation at hat 34. The hilars
66
+ important in this case. Ex. A (excerpt of Report of Robert L. L
67
+ an independent compliance consultant ("ICC") to provide "oversight of reporting-related risk from
68
+ a social point of view" needed to overcome the economic incentives to underreport suspicious
69
+ activity. Id. at 33, 9l 70. The other is a permanent injunction against future violations of the TVPA,
70
+ which facilitates future enforcement through contempt proceedings, "reducing the cost of future
71
+ action and, in turn, increasing the ex ante deterrent effects of the relevant judgment." Id. at 33-34,
72
+ 99I 71-72. Finally, Professor
73
+ opines on the need for structural changes at JPMorgan:
74
+ The information financial institutions are required to provide to law enforcement is crucial
75
+ to the prevention of wrongdoing. But because they lack economic incentive to report their
76
+ suspicions about their own clients, separation of banks' business and compliance function
77
+ is necessary to ensure banks report all the information the law requires when the law
78
+ requires it. JPM's internal governance did not achieve that separation, and the tragic events
79
+ that followed have imposed untold costs upon society. Id. at 34, Il 74.
80
+ Professor Jonathan J. Rusch, Director of the U.S. and International Anti-Corruption Law
81
+ Program at American University, Washington College of Law, and former Senior Vice President
82
+ and Head of Anti-Bribery & Corruption Governance at Wells Fargo, opines that in his experience
83
+ as a compliance professional, it would be appropriate to require JPMorgan to: (1) perform a rootcause analysis of the violations evidenced in its handling of Epstein's accounts and activities; and
84
+ (2) develop a remediation plan in consultation with the USVI and subject to the Court's approval
85
+ and oversight. Ex. B (excerpt of Expert Opinion Report of Jonathan J. Rusch) at 191-92.

99
+ Professor Bridgette Carr is Co-Director of the Human Trafficking Clinic + Lab at the University
100
+ of Michigan Law School and co-creator of the University's Human Trafficking Collaborative.
101
+ Professor Carr recommends that JPMorgan involve trafficking experts and, importantly,
102
+ trafficking victims in a review to "identify missed opportunities to prevent human trafficking, and
103
+ implement changes that could prevent such missed opportunities from occurring in the future;"
104
+ developing "accommodations or banking products and protocols to address the unique needs
105
+ trafficking victims face after being exploited and financially abused;" prohibiting participation of
106
+ employees who have personal relationships with a private banking client in decisions to retain or
107
+ exit that client; and providing "an opportunity for any of Epstein's victims to present information
108
+ ... about the harm they experienced and the ways in which the bank could have intervened to
109
+ identify or address their abuse." Ex. C (excerpt of Expert Report of Bridgette Carr) at 75-76.
110
+ These sets of recommendations aim to address the same core problem: JPMorgan's knowledge of
111
+ and failure to report Epstein's trafficking because it lacked the economic incentive and motivation
112
+ to place compliance with the law and prevention of trafficking ahead of its own profits.
113
+ The USVI also seeks civil penalties, disgorgement, restitution, damages, including punitive
114
+ damages, and reasonable attorneys' fees, FAC, I 109; SAC, I 119, as "appropriate relief" under
115
+ 18 U.S.C. § 1595(d) to further this provision and the TVPA's remedial, punitive, and deterrent
116
+ objectives. See 164 Cong. Rec. S1849-08, S1865, 2018 WL 1415014 (Mar. 21, 2018) ("Let's
117
+ unleash those [resources] in the States to help us address this growing problem throughout our
118
+ country."). Civil liability already existed in the TVPA, and the Court held that allowing State
119
+ Attorneys General the right to vindicate such existing liabilities under its parens patriae authority
120
+ was permissible. Dkt. 130 at 22-23.
121
+ Civil penalties are an appropriate remedy to further the TVPA's deterrent objective in
122
+ parens patriae actions.? Professor
123
+ presents a quantitative analysis showing that, in the
124
+ past, penalties related to the non-filing of SARs "have provided limited reason for bank executives
125
+ to resist their incentives to report less suspicious activity than the law requires," and thus requiring
126
+ more meaningful levels to deter misconduct. Ex. A (excerpt of
127
+ Rpt.) at 8-13.
128
+ The USVI seeks civil penalties consistent with the duration, egregiousness, and impact of
129
+ JPMorgan's violations. The New York Department of Financial Services ("NYDFS") issued a
130
+ $150 million agreed-to penalty on Deutsche Bank for its "inexcusable fail[ure] to detect or prevent
131
+ millions of dollars of suspicious transactions" related to Epstein, including payments to alleged
132
+ co-conspirators; settlement payments and dozens of payments to law firms for legal expenses of
133
+ Epstein and co-conspirators; payments to Russian models and to numerous women with Eastern
134

135
+ 3d 761, 875 (D.N.M. 2019) (State, as parens patriae, seeks "civil penalties against the Defendant"
136
+ to "deter future action like the Defendants' conduct"); LaRose Indus., 386 F. Supp. 3d at 219
137
+ ("New York seeks to enjoin Defendant from conduct that is illegal under New York law and to
138
+ impose civil statutory fines to punish Defendant and deter other businesses from similarly harming
139
+ New York consumers."); see also SEC v. Lek Securities Corp., 612 F. Supp. 3d 287, 298 (S.D.N.Y.
140
+ 2020) ("Neither of those remedies carries the same deterrent effect as a robust civil penalty.").

145
+ European surnames; and periodic suspicious cash withdrawals totaling more than $800,000 over
146
+ four years.? The USVI will prove even greater participation by JPMorgan in Epstein's sextrafficking venture over more than a decade, and seeks at least $150 million in civil penalties.
147
+ Disgorgement also appropriately furthers the TVPA's deterrent objectives in parens
148
+ patriae actions.* The USVI will prove that JPMorgan profited significantly from its relationship
149
+ with Epstein. Conservatively, the USVI will prove that Epstein generated more than $20 million
150
+ in fees and revenues for the Bank through 2013 when he was exited. In addition, Epstein referred
151
+ many ultra-high net worth clients to the bank, including Sergey Brin, Bill Gates, Leslie Wexner,
152
+ Glenn
153
+ ,, and the USVI will prove, also conservatively, that those clients generated an
154
+ additional $20 million in fees. Thus, the USVI conservatively estimates that until Epstein's exit
155
+ from the Bank at the end of 2013, JPMorgan received at least $40 million from its relationship
156
+ with Epstein. This does not include the difficult to quantify value of Epstein introducing
157
+ JPMorgan to high profile individuals, such as Prince Andrew, Ehud Barack, and Lord Peter
158
+ Mandelson, connecting JPMorgan with the Gates Foundation, or consulting services that Epstein
159
+ provided to the Bank including related to the Highbridge acquisition.
160
+ The USVI further seeks compensatory damages suffered by victims and punitive damages
161
+ in amounts to be proven to redress, punish, and deter the harms and threats to its residents' interests
162
+ in physical health, safety, and well-being posed by JPMorgan's facilitation of Epstein's sextrafficking. Compensatory damages of persons harmed by unlawful conduct affecting quasisovereign interests is an appropriate remedy in parens patriae cases. Punitive damages likewise
163
+ is an appropriate remedy that furthers the TVPA's deterrence and punishment objectives in parens

189
+ JPMorgan's potential settlement of individual victims' claims for damages does not—and

+ cannot—release or compromise the USVI's claims for damages as parens patriae remedies. The
191
+ USVI alone controls these claims." The individual victims, none of whom have received and some

193

195

196
+ Victims also do not have TVPA claims for disgorgement or civil penalties (or injunctive relief).

+ Gov't of the U.S. Virgin Islands v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Case No. 1:22-cv-
16
+ 10904-JSR (S.D.N.Y.) - Letter Brief on USVI's Improper Confidentiality Designations
17
+ Dear Judge Rakoff:
18
+ JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMC"") has repeatedly sought the consent of the
19
+ Government of the United States Virgin Islands ("USVI") to file its May 23 Opposition to USVI's
20
+ Motion to Strike publicly. Yet, although USVI lacks any basis to maintain confidentiality over
21
+ the exhibits cited in that filing, it has (again) refused to withdraw its confidentiality designations,
22
+ thereby requiring this Court's intervention. Specifically, USVI asserts confidentiality over
23
+ See Dkt. 160, Exs. 8, 39-52, & 54-60. As before, US VI has no basis-beyond a desire to
24
+ hide the embarrassing information in these documents from the public—to assert confidentiality.
25
+ The documents USVI seeks to shield are public records, produced in response to JPMC's
26
+ document requests, that show
27
+ See Dkt. 159, pp. 6-7. USVI has not identified any basis to designate these
28
+ materials confidential under the Protective Order. See Dkt. 15, 92 (listing the limited categories
29
+ of information that may be designated Confidential). They do not contain confidential financial
30
+ information,' information reported to law enforcement, materials related to ownership of a nonpublic company, trade secrets, information of an intimate nature, Bank Secrecy Act materials, or
31
+ information designated Confidential Supervisory Information by a financial regulator. Id.
32
+ Instead, USVI asserts that exhibits must be kept confidential under an inapplicable federal
33
+ statute, 26 U.S.C. § 6103, that governs the confidentiality of federal tax returns and the information
34
+ therein. As an initial matter, this statute does not apply to the documents USVI seeks to withhold,
35
+ which were
36
+ It is the law of this
37
+ USVI has not raised this provision and, while these documents may contain "financial
38
+ information" broadly defined, it is not of the type contemplated by the Protective Order. Id. 12(a)
39
+ (listing "profitability reports or estimates, percentage fees, design fees, royalty rates, minimum
40
+ guarantee payments, sales reports and sales margins" as examples of the type of financial
41
+ information that might be kept confidential). It is also not financial information belonging to the
42
+ USVI, and the only person who might plausibly be concerned about keeping this information
43
+ confidential, Jeffrey Epstein, is both unworthy of the concern that USVI shows and long deceased.

49
+ Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 185 Filed 06/14/23 Page 2 of 2
50
+ Circuit that, because "Congress's purpose in enacting section 6103 ... 'was to curtail loose
51
+ disclosure practices by the IRS,'" that statute is only concerned with returns "obtained from the
52
+ IRS. " Trump v. Deutsche Bank AG, 943 F.3d 627, 649 (2d Cir. 2019) (quoting Stokwitz v. United
53
+ States, 831 F.2d 893, 894 (9th Cir. 1987)), vacated and remanded on unrelated grounds sub nom.
54
+ Trump v. Mazars USA, LLP, 140 S. Ct. 2019 (2020).? Because these documents were not |
55
+ , but rather
56
+ , they do not fall within the ambit of this statute.
57
+ What is more, JPMC offered, as a concession to USVI's concerns, that it would publicly
58
+ file only the first few pages of each document those reflecting
59
+ that do not include
60
+ Those
61
+ pages
62
+ See, e.g., Dkt. 160, Ex. 56. USVI refused, asserting that those pages could not be disclosed because
63
+ they "contain return information." But the statutory definition of "retur information" requires
64
+ that such information be "received by, recorded by, prepared by, furnished to, or collected by the
65
+ Secretary with respect to a return." 26 U.S.C. § 6103 (emphasis added). This language is limited
66
+ to information flowing through the IRS. Baskin v. United States, 135 F.3d 338, 342 (5th Cir. 1998)
67
+ (The plain language of the statute reveals that "return information' must be information which
68
+ has somehow passed through, is directly from, or generated by the IRS.").? Even if the whole
69
+ statute did not require that the information come from the IRS, this provision assuredly does.
70
+ Finally, JPMC notes that USVI's protestations ring especially hollow in light of the
71
+ disclosures USVI has already made. First, without any mention of the above-referenced statute, it
72
+ has produced the documents in question to all parties in this litigation—JPMC, Jane Doe 1, and
73
+ James Staley. Second, USVI has referenced the information contained in some of these documents
74
+ in public court filings. For instance, the Second Amended Complaint in USVI v. Indyke (which
75
+ USVI incorporated by reference into its Complaint here, Dkt. 119, 9923-33) specifically discussed
76
+ the value of the tax exemptions received from USVI by one of Epstein's companies, Dkt. 119-1,
77
+ 19 166-174. USVI cannot now object to the disclosure of information it previously made public.
78
+ JPMC respectfully requests that the Court issue an Order rejecting USVI's confidentiality
79
+ designations and allow JPMC to refile its Opposition in unredacted form, along with exhibits
80
+ redacted only to the extent necessary to prevent the disclosure of personal information regarding
81
+ unrelated individuals.
82
+ Sincerely,
83

+ SECOND GIRL SUES MOGUL
31
+ By Dareh Gregorian
32
+ February 7, 2008 7:50am
33
+ A teen who says she was sexually assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein has filed a $50 million against the financier, the second girl to file suit
34
+ against the Manhattan multimillionaire in two weeks.
35
+ In papers filed in federal court in Florida, the teen - identified only as "Jane Doe No. 2" - says she was lured to Epstein's Palm Beach
36
+ mansion and then sexually assaulted in his massage room.
37
+ "She was recruited by another girl from her school who told her she could make money giving massages to old people. She thought she
38
+ was going to some kind of center," said her lawyer, Jeffrey Herman.
39
+ Herman is also representing "Jane Doe No. 1," who says she was 14 when she went to Epstein's home to give him a massage and wound
40
+ up getting sexually assaulted by him.
41
+ Epstein's lawyer, Guy
42
+ said, "Both complaints are full of lies."
43
+ He called the new lawsuit "an outrageous, defamatory, copycat of the first."

50
+ The Doe No. 2 suit, like the first, charges that Epstein "engaged in a plan and scheme in which he gained access to primarily
51
+ disadvantaged minor girls in his home, sexually assaulted these girls, and then gave them money.
52
+ "In or about 2004-2005, Jane Doe, then approximately 16 years old, fell into Epstein's trap and become one of his victims."
53
+ The suit also says the teen was "recruited" by another minor to "give Epstein a massage for monetary compensation" - and brought to his
54
+ mansion, where she was taken up to the then-52-year-old's massage room.
55
+ Epstein walked in wearing only a towel, and told the girl to "take off her clothes and give him a massage. Jane kept her panties and bra on
56
+ and complied with Epstein's instructions," the suit says.
57
+ "After a short period of time, Epstein removed the towel and rolled over exposing his penis. Epstein began to masturbate and he sexually
58
+ assaulted Jane," the suit says.
59
+ He then paid her $200, and the "recruiter" $100, the suit alleges.
60
+ Herman said that police had interviewed the girl after finding her name and phone number in Epstein's records, but he's currently only
61
+ facing criminal charges related to Jane Doe No. 1.
62

15
+ MOTION FOR ORDER AUTHORIZING ALTERNATIVE SERVICE
16
+ OF SUBPOENA FOR THIRD PARTY ELON MUSK
17
+ NOW COMES the Government of the United States Virgin Islands, the Plaintiff in the
18
+ above-captioned action, and moves pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 45 for an Order authorizing the
19
+ Government to arrange alternative service of its Subpoena to Produce Documents upon third party
20
+ Elon Musk. As grounds for this Motion, the Government states the following:
21
+ The Government brought this civil action against Defendant JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
22
+ ("Morgan") as part of its ongoing effort to protect public safety and to hold accountable those
23
+ who facilitated or participated in, directly or indirectly, the trafficking enterprise of Jeffrey Epstein
24
+ ("Epstein"). The Government's investigation has revealed that JPMorgan knowingly, recklessly,

+
27
+
28
+ Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 143 Filed 05/15/23 Page 2 of 4
29
+ and unlawfully provided and pulled the levers through which Epstein's recruiters and victims were
30
+ paid and was indispensable to the operation and concealment of the Epstein trafficking enterprise.
31
+ Financial institutions can connect—or choke-human trafficking networks, and enforcement
32
+ actions filed and injunctive relief obtained by attorneys general are essential to ensure that
33
+ enterprises like Epstein's cannot flourish in the future. The Government's investigation further
34
+ revealed that JPMorgan financially profited from the deposits made by Epstein and Epsteincontrolled entities located in the Virgin Islands and from the business opportunities referred to
35
+ JPMorgan by Epstein and his co-conspirators in exchange for its known facilitation of and implicit
36
+ participation in Epstein's sex trafficking venture.
37
+ Upon information and belief, Elon Musk-the CEO of Tesla, Inc., among other
38
+ companies—is a high-net-worth individual who Epstein may have referred or attempted to refer
39
+ to JPMorgan. The Government issued a subpoena for documents to Mr. Musk on April 28, 2023
40
+ (attached as Exhibit I). The Government made good-faith attempts to obtain an address for Mr.
41
+ Musk, including hiring an investigative firm to search public records databases for possible
42
+ addresses. Declaration of Linda
43
+ ('
44
+ Decl."), II 2 (attached as Exhibit 2). One address
45
+ found was that of Mr. Musk's counsel who has waived service on Mr. Musk's behalf in several
46
+ recent federal cases filed within the last year. The Government contacted Mr. Musk's counsel via
47
+ email to ask if he would be authorized to accept service on Mr. Musk's behalf in this matter but
48
+ did not receive a response confirming or denying his authority.
49
+ Decl., 99l 3-4. In addition,
50
+ the Government's process server attempted service at the business address for Tesla, Inc. identified
51
+ by the investigative firm, but was unable to confirm whether or not Mr. Musk was at the location
52
+ and available for service and was directed by security to contact the company's registered agent
53
+ and/or legal department.

59
+ This Court long has recognized that Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits
60
+ alternative service of a subpoena by certified mail where a party is unable to provide personal
61
+ service "li]n accordance with the interpretive principle that the rules be construed and
62
+ administered to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action."" Cordius
63
+ Trust v. Kummerfeld, 45 Fed. R. Serv. 3d 1151, 2000 WL 10268, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 3, 2000)
64
+ (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. I). The Court has permitted alternative service where a party's repeated
65
+ attempts at personal service have failed, see SEC v. David, No. 19-cv-9013, 2020 WL 703464, at
66
+ *1-2 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 12, 2020) (Rakoff, J.), or where there is an "approaching close of discovery,"

+ 2016) (Rakoff, J.) (authorizing alternative service by email and overnight mail 56 days before
69
+ April 29, 2016 discovery end date).
70
+ Both circumstances are present here. The Government has made good-faith efforts to
71
+ obtain an address for Mr. Musk and to serve a subpoena upon him personally. Moreover, the factdiscovery end date is at the end of this month. In these circumstances, the Court should in the
72
+ interest of securing just and expeditious resolution authorize the Government to arrange alternative
73
+ service of its Subpoena to Produce Documents by serving Mr. Musk via service upon Tesla Inc.'s
74
+ registered agent.

137

138

139

140

141

142

144

145
+ in return for tax benefits granted to Mr. Epstein's
146
+ 7
147
+ companies?
148
+ 8
149
+ I relied on the data that was produced in this
150
+ 9 litigation by the U.S. Virgin Islands. That's the data I
151
+ 10
152
+ relied upon.
153
+ 11
154
+ The data you relied upon are the cost-benefit
155
+ 12
156
+ ratios, correct?
157
+ 13
158
+ A
159
+ Correct.
160
+ 14
161
+ Okay. Is there any other data that you relied
162
+ 15
163
+ upon in calculating the economic benefits that the territory
164
+ 16
165
+ received in return for tax benefits granted to Mr. Epstein's
166
+ 17
167
+ companies?
168
+ 18
169
+ A
170
+ No. It was solely based on the data provided by
171
+ 19
172
+ USVI in discovery in this matter.
173
+ 20
174
+ • And when you say: "Data provided by USVI, " you're
175
+ 21
176
+ referring only to the cost-benefit ratios, correct?
177
+ 22
178
+ A
179

210
+ A
211
+ I do not.
212
+ 2
213
+ Okay.
214
+ Do you know whether it is considered as
215
+ 3
216
+ authoritative by the EDC staff or commission members?
217
+ 4
218
+ A
219
+ The word "authoritative" is what's hanging me up
220
+ 5 there. I know that the statistic itself is something that
221
+ the EDC measures, that it reports to the public in an
222
+ aggregated
223
+ fashion,
224
+ and it is something that the EDC
225
+ discusses when granting benefits or extending benefits.
226
+ And I do know that the commission has, through the
227
+ meeting minutes, I'm aware that the commission has certain
228
+ ratios that they refer to as either acceptable or
229
+ unfavorable.
230
+ • Did you perform any analysis on your own to test
231
+ the cost-benefit ratios that were -- that the EDC provided?
232
+ A
233
+ We -- when we were summarizing certain year --
234
+ summarizing performance
235
+ for certain years, we performed
236
+ those calculations independently.
237
+ And in some cases they differed than what's in the
238
+ table on page 22 of my report.
239
+ So that would be the extent of the analysis that
240
+ we did.
241
+ • I'm sorry, can you -- for certain years you
242
+ performed the calculations on your own and they differed
243
+ from what's on Table 22, or on the table on page 22, is that
244
+ what you're saying?

249

250
+ 2
251
+ And the reason for that is in that spreadsheet,
252
+ the EDC, for whatever reason, didn't include certain
253
+ benefits in the denominator.
254
+ • So is that listed in your -- is that identified in
255
+ your report somewhere?
256
+ A
257
+ It is.
258
+ Where? I'm just not seeing that.
259
+ So -- so when we calculated -- if you look at the
260
+ 4
261
+ 5
262
+ 6
263
+ 7
264
+ 8
265

266

267
+ 10
268
+ Yeah.
269
+ 11
270
+ A We can see the tab that we're looking at. So for
271
+ 12
272
+ tab -- for footnote 133, we are identifying the Excel file,
273
+ 13
274
+ as well as the tab that we are relying on.
275
+ 14
276
+ And so where -- sorry, keep going.
277
+ 15
278
+ A
279
+ I'm just trying to see something here.
280
+ 16
281
+ And so that showed -- that allows anyone to go
282
+ 17
283
+ into the -- the file that we identify and reference the data
284
+ 18
285
+ that we're pulling.
286
+ 19
287
+ Whereas, in 2013 -- in 2013, there was certain
288
+ 20
289
+ components, whether it's procurement or charitable
290
+ 21
291
+ contributions, I don't know because -- but it was -- so, for
292
+ 22 example, okay, so I can see it.
293
+ 23
294
+ In 2013, the .01 that is calculated by the EDC in
295
+ 24 the file that they sent to us, if you look at the benefits
296

322

323
+ A
324
+ Correct.
325

326
+ • Is that
327
+ -- is that based on any other evaluation
328

329
+ 6
330
+ A I think part of it might also be the noncompliance
331
+ with charitable donations. But that's the only other thing
332
+ 8 I can think of.
333
+ Okay. And then further down in the paragraph, you
334
+ note -- I'll just read the whole thing.
335
+ So it says:
336
+ "The extending of benefits without
337
+ any clear economic basis and without USVI asking the
338
+ appropriate questions to develop a basis for extending them
339
+ suggests there is some other reason why Mr. Epstein was
340
+ given $300 million in tax incentives by USVI and is
341
+ consistent with the possibility that these benefits were
342
+ granted as part of an improper quid pro quo exchange between
343
+ Mr. Epstein and USVI officials."
344
+ Did I read that correctly?
345
+ A
346
+ You did.
347
+ • Okay. Are you opining that there was an improper
348
+ quid pro quo between the USVI and Mr. Epstein?
349
+ A
350
+ No. As a CFE, a certified fraud examiner, my
351
+ understanding is that would be a legal conclusion and is
352
+ left up to the trier of fact.

384

+ 12

603
+ 13
604

605
+ It's possible. A fraud examiner is not allowed to

608
+ 15
609

613

615

616
+ 19
617
+ me, you know, I've made several observations that suggest
618
+ 20
619
+ there could be other reasons beyond the benefit to the USVI
620
+ 21

+ 12
653
+ to be financial impact, quantify that to the best of that
654
+ 13
655
+ their ability and then issue a report.
656
+ 14
657
+ The report would -- typically goes back to, you
658
+ 15
659
+ know, the audit committee of the company or the risk
660
+ 16
661
+ management arm of the company,
662
+ and then they decide what to
663
+ 17
664
+ do with it from there.
665
+ 18
666
+ So that's an entirely different exercise.
667
+ 19
668
+ Q
669
+ Okay. And then that's not what you did here,
670
+ 20
671
+ right?
672
+ 21
673
+ No. It's -- in my -- I'm unaware of any
674
+ 22
675
+ litigation where a fraud examiner could actually conduct a
676
+ 23
677
+ fraud investigation because it would require access, open
678
+ 24
679
+ access to underlying financial records.
680
+ 25
681
+ It would require open access to witnesses outside

686
+ 1
687
+ the context of a deposition, that type of thing.
688
+ 2
689
+ Okay. Let's go to paragraph 67.
690
+ 3
691
+ The first line of that reads: "USVI's EDC did not
692
+ 4
693
+ properly evaluate Mr. Epstein's applications for benefits,"
694
+ 5 right, and it goes on: "And failed to ask him even the most
695
+ 6
696
+ basic questions based on information that was uniquely
697
+ 7
698
+ available to it about his companies."
699
+ 8
700
+ So is it correct here that you are criticizing the
701
+ EDC's evaluation of Mr. Epstein's applications?
702
+ A
703
+ I'm pointing out that there were inconsistencies
704
+ in the public hearing testimony that were not resolved.
705
+ That basically should have raised some sort of questions and
706
+ follow-up.
707
+ 10
708
+ 11
709
+ 12
710
+ 13
711
+ 14
712
+ And moreover, when extending the benefits in 2009,
713
+ 15
714
+ you know, there was discussion about concerns, dangerous
715
+ 16
716
+ precedents, and based on my review of the record, none of
717
+ 17
718
+ that was resolved before extending that application. Excuse
719
+ 18
720
+ me, extending that certificate.
721
+ 19
722
+ Did the same people who expressed those concerns
723
+ 20
724
+ vote on the extension of the application?
725
+ 21
726
+ A
727
+ Well, it was one month later after expressing
728
+ 22
729
+ those concerns. I would presume at least some of the same
730
+ 23 people were voting.
731
+ 24
732
+ I'm not aware that the EDC's membership or
733
+ 25
734
+ committee completely turned over in a month between April
735
+ Page 124
736
+
737
+
738
+ Case 1:2₴ 6Yr#992enłSRa Document 3Qant Filed Q8125t23c Page 15ptalr
739
+ 1
740
+ At no time in April when they were talking about
741
+ 2 this and saying this is a dangerous precedent, et cetera,
742
+ did someone say,
743
+ 1, well, we should evaluate them from
744
+ 4
745
+ zero. This is like a fresh statement.
746
+ we're going to
747
+ 5
748
+ set them from zero.
749
+ 6
750
+ So to me that's -- that's conflicting information.
751
+ 7
752
+ • So you are critical of the EDC's decision-making
753
+ 8
754
+ process; is that -- is that a fair characterization?
755
+ 9
756
+ A Again, it's a observation that supports my
757
+ 10
758
+ ultimate conclusion, right. It's -- there was historical
759
+ 11 poor performance, there was discussion about being
760
+ 12
761
+ concerned, and they moved forward anyway.
762
+ 13
763
+ I'm not -- they may have a ton of reasons that
764
+ 14
765
+ they then talk about on the record, I'm not saying that, but
766
+ 15
767
+ it's part of my overall conclusion. It's something that
768
+ 16
769
+ supports that.
770
+ 17
771
+ okay.
772
+ 18
773
+ A
774
+ I don't have an independent opinion that they
775
+ 19
776
+ shouldn't have approved this. I'm just observing they
777
+ 20
778
+ approved it in spite of all of these other things and
779
+ 21
780
+ concerns.
781
+ 22
782
+ All right. Let's take that document down.
783
+ 23
784
+ You said earlier that there were questions asked
785
+ 24
786
+ at the 2012 EDC public hearing, right?
787
+ 25
788
+ A
789
+ Correct.

+ INTRODUCTION
16
+ Our integrity and reputation depend on our ability to do the right thing, even when
17
+ it's not the easy thing. The Code of Conduct is a collection of rules and policy
18
+ statements intended to assist employees and directors in making decisions about
19
+ their conduct in relation to the firm's business. The Code is based on our
20
+ fundamental understanding that no one at JPMorgan Chase should ever sacrifice
21
+ integrity -- or give the impression that they have -- even if they think it would
22
+ help the firm's business.
23
+ Each of us is accountable for our actions, and each of us is responsible for
24
+ knowing and abiding by the policies that apply to us. Managers have a special
25
+ responsibility, through example and communication, to ensure that employees
26
+ under their supervision understand and comply with the Code and other relevant
27
+ policies.
28
+ You can look to the Code of Conduct to guide your decisions in a variety of
29
+ circumstances. However, no rulebook can anticipate every situation. Ultimately,
30
+ the personal integrity and honesty of every JPMorgan Chase employee define the
31
+ character of our company. Never underestimate the importance of your own
32
+ ethical conduct to the business and success of JPMorga n Chase.

157
+ 1. ADMINISTRATION OF THE CODE OF CONDUCT
158
+ The Code of Conduct (the "Code") sets forth certain minimum expectations that JPMorgan Chase has for
159
+ you. You are expected to conduct the firm's business in full compliance with both the letter and the spirit
160
+ of the law, the Code, and any other policies and procedures that may be applicable to you. The "firm"
161
+ and "JPMorgan Chase" as used throughout the Code mean JPMorgan Chase & Co. and all its direct and
162
+ indirect subsidiaries.
163
+ The Code is intended to provide general guidance regarding your conduct as an employee or director of
164
+ JPMorgan Chase. Note that other policies and procedures are listed at the end of many Code sections,
165
+ with an electronic link on the intranet edition of the Code. These listed items provide more detailed
166
+ information about the relevant subject and may include additional requirements with which you must
167
+ comply. However, these lists are not an exhaustive consideration of all policies and procedures that may
168
+ be applicable to you, and you are responsib le for knowing which policies and procedures (whether or no
169
+ listed here) apply to you, and for understanding and complying with them. You should refer to these
170
+ documents where appropriate. Consult any of the persons listed in Section 1.4 if you have questions.
171
+ At the end of the Code, you will find a section of Definitions and Examples.
172
+ Any waiver of the provisions of this Code for an executive officer or a director must be made by the
173
+ Board of Directors and will be promptly disclosed to JPMorgan Chase & Co. stockholders.
174
+ The Corporate Secretary may provide interpretations of the Code, in consultation with the General
175
+ Counsels where appropriate.
176
+ The Code of Conduct does not create any rights to continued employment and is not an employment
177
+ contract.
178
+ 1.1.Persons subject to the Code of Conduct
179
+ The Code applies to employees and directors of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its direct and indirect
180
+ subsıdiaries. Employees of joint ventures and entitics in which JPMorgan Chase holds venture capıtal
181
+ investments are not subject to the Code except to the extent the Legal and Compliance Department
182
+ determines otherwise. The provisions of the Code described in Section 5.11 also apply to former
183
+ employees.
184
+ If any provision contravenes or is less restrictive than the applicable law of any jurisdiction, the local lav
185
+ /ill apply. Similarly, certain business units have policies that are more restrictive than the Code, an
186
+ lose more restrictive policies will apply to those units. You are responsible for understanding an
187

+ Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 326-51 Filed 09/08/23 Page 9 of 35
192
+ 1.2. Consultants, agents and temporary workers
193
+ In general, consultants, agents and temporary workers are expected to comply with the underlying
194
+ principles of the Code. Specific arrangements with such persons will vary depending on their relationship
195
+ to the firm. Consult your Compliance officer or your Code Specialist if you have questions about your
196
+ obligations or those of others.
197
+ 1.3. Consequences of violating the Code
198
+ Compliance with the Code and with other policies and procedures applicable to you is a term and
199
+ condition of employment by JPMorgan Chase. Violations of any laws that relate to the operation of our
200
+ business, the Code, or other applicable policies and procedures, or failure to cooperate as directed by the
201
+ firm with an internal or external investigation, may result in corrective action, up to and including
202
+ immediate termination of employment. The firm will take all reasonable actions to enforce the Code. In
203
+ cases where a violation of the Code could cause the firm irreparable harm, it may seck injunctive relief in
204
+ addition to monetary damages.
205
+ 1.4. Questions about the Code
206
+ Each line of business and support group has been assigned at least one "Code Specialist," generally a
207
+ Compliance officer, to act as a resource for all employees in the area on Code-related issues. Contact
208
+ information for these officers is included in the Code Contacts List, and employees can contact their Code
209
+ Specialist for assistance with any questions regarding the Code.
210
+ Employees who have questions about the Code or other policies and procedures, or about how a particular
211
+ rule applies in a specific situation, can also contact:
212
+ • their manager
213
+ • their local Compliance officer
214
+ • the Office of the General Counsel
215
+ • their Human Resources Business Partner
216
+ • the Office of the Secretary
217
+ Contact information is included in the Code Contacts List.
218
+ The following lists some of the common situations in which you may have obligations under the Code
219
+ and refers you to the relevant section(s) of the Code. You should not use this list as a substitute for
220
+ familiarity with all provisions of the Code.
221
+ Situation
222
+ Unethical or illegal behavior:
223
+ You observe conduct by another employee, a supplier, a customer, or
224
+ another person doing business with the firm that you believe to b
225
+ unethical, illegal, or contrary to the Code of Conduc
226
+ Discriminatory or harassing conduct:
227
+ You experience or observe conduct that you believe violates the firm's

430
+ You should observe the following principles when dealing with information relating to the firm's
431
+ business:
432
+ (a)
433
+ Assume that most information that you have about the firm and its business, or about its
434
+ past, present, or prospective customers, suppliers, and employees, is confidential, unless
435
+ the contrary is clear.
436
+ (b)
437
+ (c)
438
+ Treat all personal information about individuals as confidential.
439
+ Before sharing confidential information with others in the firm, be sure that you are
440
+ permitted to do so. Do not disclose confidential customer information to other employees
441
+ who are not involved with the transaction or service for which the information was
442
+ provided to the firm --- even if you believe the disclosure might be useful in the context
443
+ of other firm business --- unless you are authorized to do so.
444
+ (d)
445
+ Do not disclose confidential information to anyone outside the firm unless you are
446
+ authorized to do so. Where such disclosure is authorized, a confidentiality or privacy
447
+ agreement may be required; check with the Legal Department.
448
+ (e)
449
+ If you are permitted to share confidential information, use your judgment to limit the
450
+ amount of information shared and disclose it only on a need-to-know basis in order to
451
+ provide the services we are engaged to provide. Ensure that the recipient knows the
452
+ information is confidential and has been instructed about restrictions on further use and
453
+ dissemination.
454
+ (f)
455
+ Comment or provide information on matters related to the firm's business only if it is part
456
+ of your job function or you are otherwise authorized to do so.
457
+ (g)
458
+ Protect confidential information when communicating electronically -- for instance, by e-
459
+ (h)
460
+ mail or through the internet.
461
+ Remember that all forms of communication are covered, including written, telephonic,
462
+ and electronic communications such as website chatrooms, e-mail, and instant
463
+ messaging.

466
+ whether information can be shared.
467
+ 3.2. Prior employer's confidential information and trade secrets
468

+ information through no action of your own.
471
+ 3.3. Special rules regarding customer information and data privacy legislation
472
+ Each of us has a special responsibility to protect the confidentiality of information related to customers.
473
+ This responsibility may be imposed by law, may arise out of agreements with our customers, or may be
474
+ based on policies or practic es adopted by the firm. Certain jurisdictions have regulations relating
475
+ specifically to the privacy of individuals and/or business and institutional customers. Various business
476
+ units and geographic areas within JPMorgan Chase have internal policies regarding customer privacy.
477
+ You should be familiar with those that apply to you. Customer information should never be disclosed to
478
+ anyone outside the firm except as permitted by law and in the proper conduct of our business, where
479
+ disclosure is required by legal process, or where the Legal and Compliance Department otherwise
480
+ determines it is appropriate.

489
+ especially in public communications (including internet chatrooms, bulletin boards, etc.). You should not
490
+ make any statements on behalf of JPMorgan Chase, or regarding JPMorgan Chase, its business, or its
491
+ customers, unless it is part of your job or you are otherwise specifically authorized to do so. Refer all
492
+ media inquiries to the Media Relations Office.
493
+ Public testimony (as an expert witness or otherwise), publications and speaking engagements relating to
494
+ the firm's business are subject to pre-clearance. Subpoenas, requests from law enforcement or regulatory
495
+ authorities, media inquiries, product advisory boards, and requests from customers or suppliers for
496
+ testimonials or endorsements should be handled in accordance with applicable procedures. Before
497

502
+ 4. INSIDE INFORMATION AND THE CHINESE WALL POLICY
503
+ Buying or selling securities while in possession of material non-public information is prohibited, as is the
504
+ communication of that information to others.
505
+ 4.1. Inside Information
506
+ If you are aware of inside information,
507
+ you may not buy or sell securities (including equity securities, bonds and other debt
508
+ securities, convertible securities, derivatives, options, any
509
+ _index including any such
510
+ security as an element, and any other financial instruments) that may be affected by that
511
+ information, either for your own account or any account over which you exercise control
512
+ alone or with others.
513
+ (b)
514
+ information.
515
+ "Inside information" is material, nonpublic information about the securities, activities, or financial
516
+ condition of a corporation, public entity, or other issuer of securities. Material, nonpublic information
517
+ concerning market developments may also be construed to be inside information.
518
+ Information is "material" if it could have an impact on the market price of securities involved or if it is
519
+ kely that a reasonable investor would consider the information important in deciding whether to
520
+ urchase or sell the securities. Information may be material to one issuer but not to another, or to certai
521
+ securities of an issuer but not to all securities of that issuer.

528
+ Information should be considered "nonpublic " unless it is clearly public. Information is deemed public
529
+ once it has been publicly announced or otherwise disseminated in a manner that makes the information
530
+ available to investors generally.
531
+ Likewise, you may not buy or sell securities if you have knowledge of proposed customer trades, trades
532
+ by JPMorgan Chase, or forthcoming research reports regarding those securities or the issuer of those
533
+ securities, and you may not pass along this information to others in any way.
534
+ These prohibitions are applicable no matter how you acquired the inside information. They are applicable
535
+ to the securities of JPMorgan Chase as well as to those of other companies.
536
+ These prohibitions do not apply to qualified transactions pursuant to certain planned acquisition or selling
537
+ programs, such as so-called 10b5-1 programs. These prohibitions also do not apply to legally permissible
538
+ transactions with the issuer of the securities, or with other persons having the same information you have
539
+ (a circumstance likely to be relevant only in the context of private securities). Before engaging in any
540
+ transactions you believe to be permissible under this paragraph, you must consult with your Compliance
541
+ officer.
542
+ 4.2. The Chinese Wall policy and other information barriers
543
+ The firm's Chinese Wall policy refers to a system of information barriers designed to limit the flow of
544
+ prohibits anyone in an insider area from communicating inside information, however obtained, to anyone
545
+ in a public area, subject to limited exceptions approved by the relevant Compliance officer.
546
+ In addition, some business areas within the firm require procedures that address more specifically the
547
+ information flows within those business areas. These are also sometimes referred to as Chinese Walls.
548
+ Employees subject to the firm's Chinese Wall policy, or to other information barriers designed to meet
549
+ specific business needs, are responsible for compliance with the provisions of applicable polic ies.

+ Telephones, electronic mail (e-mail) systems and other electronic communications devices provided by
584
+ JPMorgan Chase, whether in the workplace or elsewhere, are the property of the firm and should be used
585
+ for business purposes; however, limited incidental personal use is permitted, consistent with the Code and
586
+ all other policies of the firm.
587
+ The use of e-mail, the firm's intranet and the internet must conform to the policies of JPMorgan Chase.
588

+ OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES, GIFTS, AND OTHER POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF
718
+ INTEREST
719
+ Employees must never permit their personal interests to conflict with or to appear to conflict with the
720
+ interests of the firm. When faced with a situation involving a potential conflict, ask yourself whether
721
+ public disclosure of the matter could embarrass JPMorgan Chase or you, or would lead an outside
722
+ observer to believe a conflict exists, whether or not one actually does. You must disclose to the Office of
723
+ the Secretary all potential conflicts of interest, including those in which you may have been placed
724
+ inadvertently due to either business or personal relationships with customers, suppliers, business
725
+ associates, or competitors of JPMorgan Chasc, or with other JPMorgan Chase employees.

730
+ an authorized unrelated employee.
731
+ You may not engage in self-dealing or otherwise trade upon your position with JPMorgan Chase or accept
732
+ r solicit any personal benefit from a client or supplier not generally available to other persons or mac

741
+ Negotiating with JPMorgan Chase on behalf of others with whom you or your family have a significant
742
+ connection should be avoided if there is a risk that your involvement would be perceived as self-dealing
743
+ or trading upon your position with the firm.
744
+ Hiring or working with relatives, or someone with whom you have a romantic relationship, is subject to
745
+ specific restrictions. You should be aware of those limitations if they apply to you.
746
+ 6.2. Personal finances
747
+ Because of the nature of our business, any improper handling of your personal finances could undermine
748
+ your credibility and that of JPMorgan Chase. Also, a precarious personal financial position might appear
749
+ to influence actions or judgments you make on behalf of JPMorgan Chase.
750
+ You may not borrow money (other than nominal amounts) from or lend money to other employees,
751
+ customers or suppliers, or act as a guarantor, co-signer, or surety or in any other similar capacity for
752
+ customers, suppliers, or other employees. You should borrow only from reputable organizations that
753
+ regularly lend money. If you borrow from any financial institution, the loan must be obtained on nonpreferential terms.
754
+ In general, you may not participate in any other personal financial transactions with fellow employees,
755
+ customers, or suppliers. This prohibition includes shared investments (unless they are either widely held
756
+ or held pursuant to firm sponsored co-investment plans) and investment clubs.
757
+ The foregoing limitations do not apply to:
758
+ (a) borrowing from, or acting as guarantor, co-signer, or surety for, relatives or close
759
+ personal friends.
760
+ (b) borrowing on non-preferential terms from a customer that is in the financial services
761
+ business.

765
+ 6.3. Outside business and not-for-profit activities; outside employment
766
+ 6.3.1. General
767
+ Your outside activities must not reflect adversely on JPMorgan Chase or give rise to a real or apparent
768
+ conflict of interest with your duties to the firm. You must be alert to potential conflicts of interest and be
769
+ aware that you may be asked to discontinue any outside activity if a potential conflict arises. You may
770
+ not, directly or indirectly:
771
+ (a)
772
+ accept a business opportunity from someone doing business or seeking to do business
773
+ with JPMorgan Chase that is made available to you because of your position with the

+ (c)
777

+ Employees should also not invest in a competitor (other than investments in securities of publicly traded
790
+ companies).
791
+ Outside activities must not interfere with your job pertormance or require such long hours as to affect
792
+ your physical or mental effectiveness. Your job at JPMorgan Chase should always be your first work
793
+ priority.
794
+ You may accept appointments as a personal fiduciary only for family members and close personal friends.
795
+ However, you may not act as a personal fiduciary for a personal friend if the friendship developed in the
796
+ context of a JPMorgan Chase customer relationship.

838
+ As noted above, positions with trade associations, professional associations, or other such
839
+ organizations related to your position at JPMorgan Chase need not be pre-cleared.
840
+ 3. Governmental activities
841
+ You are required to pre-clear any government position, including as an elected official and as a
842
+ member, director, officer, or employee of a governmental agency, authority, advisory board, or
843
+ other board (a public school or library board, for example). You must obtain pre-clearance before
844
+ becoming a candidate for elective office.
845
+ Procedures and forms for pre-clearance of these activities are available in the JPMorgan Chase
846
+ Procedures and Forms for Pre-Clearance of Outside Activities. You must seek a new clearance for a
847
+ reviously approved activity whenever there is any material change in relevant circumstances, whethe

851
+ be pre-cleared under Section 3.4 of the Code.
852

853
+ 6.4.1. Political campaign activities and contributions by employees
854
+ Volunteering for a political campaign. If you wish to volunteer for a political campaign, you must do sc
855
+ on your own time and as an individual, not as a representative of the firm or any of its affiliates. You may
856
+ not use any JPMorgan Chase staff, facilities, equipment, supplies, or mailing lists.
857
+ Vhen acting as a fundraiser for a candidate or political event, be certain that your activities cannot b
858
+ viewed as connected with your position with JPMorgan Chase, especially when communicating with
859
+ colleagues, customers, or suppliers. Contact the Government Relations Department for further guidance
860
+ on such activity.
861
+ Volunteer political activities in connection with the 2008 Presidential Campaign in the United States are

873
+ Certain lines of business (for example, Municipal Finance and Asset Management) may have additional
874
+ policies regarding employees' personal contributions; you are responsible for being aware of, and
875
+ complying with, any rules applicable to your business unit.
876
+ Additionally, you must contact the Government Relations Department or your local Compliance Officer
877
+ with respect to a personal political contribution that could violate, or create the appearance of a violation
878
+ of, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or local law. (See Section 5.9 for a discussion of the Foreign
879
+ Corrupt Practices Act.) Employees need to be especially sensitive when giving to officials who are part
880
+ of the decision-making process with respect to any matters relating to the firm.
881
+ 6.4.2. Political contributions and related activities by JPMorgan Chase
882
+ Political contributions and gifts. It is improper to offer or give anything to a public official, either directly
883
+ or through an intermediary, in an effort to secure an advantage that would not have been granted if the
884
+ offer or gift had not been made. In the U.S., political contributions by corporate entities are strictly
885
+ regulated by laws at the federal, state and local levels. These laws often prohibit or limit direct monetary
886
+ contributions made from corporate funds (such as a contribution check or purchase of fundraising event
887
+ tickets) as well as in-kind contributions (such as the use of corporate facilities or staff, and even the
888
+ granting of loans or other products at preferential rates). Local law in jurisdictions outside the U.S. can
889
+ also impose restrictions. Therefore, both within and outside the U.S.,
890
+ (a)
891
+ all requests for firm support (either through monetary or in-kind contributions) of
892
+ political events, political candidates and their campaigns, political parties, or political
893
+ committees must be pre-approved and processed by the Government Relations
894
+ Department.
895
+ (b)
896
+ political contributions proposed to be made by or on behalf of the firm must be precleared by the Government Relations Department.
897
+ (c)
898
+ all gifts to governmental officials to be made by or on behalf of the firm (including items
899
+ of value, transportation, lodging, meals, entertainment, and services, and including
900
+ invitations to non-profit or other special events for which the firm has paid) must comply
901
+ with rules applicable to the relevant jurisdiction and with JPMorgan Chase's policies.
902
+ Note that many jurisdictions prohibit or restrict such gifts. For information on gifts to
903
+ officials in the United States, see Coverage of Government Entities Compliance
904
+ (COGEC); for information on gifts to officials outside the U.S., see the policy on the
905
+ Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Contact the local Compliance unit in the relevant
906
+ jurisdiction(s) for further guidance.
907
+ Lobbying by or on behalf of JPMorgan Chase. All lobbying activities, including the retention of outside
908
+ lobbyists, must be pre-cleared through the Government Relations Department. Note that the federal
909
+ government and each state has its own definitions and regulations regarding lobbying of governmenta
910
+ mployees, and what might seem like a simple meeting could trigger a reporting requirement; if in doub
911
+ contact Government Relations.
912
+ Accepting gifts, meals, and entertainment from customers, suppliers, and others doing
913
+ business with JPMorgan Chase
914
+ A gift may take many forms. For the purposes of the Code, the term "gift" includes anything of value for
915
+ which you are not required to pay the retail or usual and customary cost. A gift may include meals or

923
+ vacation home, or other accommodations.
924
+ Gifts given by others to members of your family, to those with whom you have a close personal
925
+ relationship, and to charities designated by you, are considered to be gifts to you for purposes of the
926
+ Code.
927
+ You may never, except as provided in the Code:
928
+ (a) solicit, for yourself or for anyone else (other than the firm), or accept anything of value
929
+ from anyone doing business with the firm.
930
+ solicit, for yourself or for anyone else (other than the firm), or accept anything of value
931
+ from anyone in return for any business, service, or confidential information of the firm.
932
+ (c)
933
+ solicit, for yourself or for anyone else, or accept anything of value, directly or indirectly
934
+ (other than bona fide salary, wages, awards, and fees paid by or to the firm), from anyone
935
+ in connection with the business of the firm, either before or after a transaction is
936
+ discussed or consummated.
937
+ Note that the restrictions in this section 6.5 are not intended to apply to gifts based on obvious family
938
+ relationships (such as your parents, children, or spouse) or close personal friendships, where the
939
+ circumstances make it clear that it is the relationship rather than the firm's business that is the motivating
940
+ factor.
941
+ You are responsible for being familiar with any additional restrictions that may be applicable to your
942
+ business unit.
943
+ 6.5.1. What you may accept
944
+ Acceptance of gifts of any kind (including entertainment and hospitality) from persons that do business or
945
+ seek to do business with JPMorgan Chase (including identified prospective customers) is generally
946
+ prohibited. However, subject to the prohibitions in Section 6.5.2 and to any more restrictive policies
947
+ your business unit may have, the following gifts may be accepted on infrequent occasions from such a
948
+ person if it is clear that the person is not trying to influence or reward you inappropriately in
949
+ connection with any business decision or transaction and the gift is unsolicited:
950
+ (a)
951
+ (b)
952
+ (c)
953
+ gifts having a retail value not exceeding U.S. S100 (or such lesser amount as is
954
+ established by your local Compliance unit) that are given on an occasion when gifts are
955
+ customary (on a birthday or major holiday, or on the occasion of a promotion or
956
+ retirement, for example; note that gifts given in appreciation for good service, or as
957
+ thanks for our business, are not permitted).
958
+ advertising or promotional material having a retail value not exceeding U.S. S100 (or
959
+ such lesser amount as is established by your local Complia nee unit), such as pens,
960
+ pencils, note pads, key chains, calendars, and similar items.

1195
+ As a general rule, you should not invest in any securities of a client with which you have or recently had
1196
+ significant dealings or responsibility on behalf of JPMorgan Chase if such investment could be perceived
1197
+ as based on confidential information. You may be subject to broader restrictions imposed by your
1198
+ business unit.
1199
+ If you have information about or are directly involved in negotiating a contract material to a supplier of
1200
+ JPMorgan Chase you may not invest in the securities of such supplier.
1201

1257
+ barriers designed to limit the flow of inside information from areas that routinely have access to such

1260
+ information flows within such business areas. These are sometimes also referred to as Chinese Walls.
1261

+ • the same kind of information that the firm considers confidential about itself

+ • information received from others such as financial reports or projections and information

+ about its business plans, customers, suppliers, or creditors
1308
+ Firm: JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
1309
+ : Anything of value for which you are not required to pay the retail or usual and customary cost. A
1310
+ gift may include meals or refreshments, goods, services, tickets to entertainment or sporting events, or the
1311
+ use of a residence, vacation home, or other accommodations.
1312
+ Inside information: Confidential information that is material, nonpublic information about the securities,
1313
+ activities, or financial condition of a corporation, public entity, or other issuer of securities or financial
1314
+ instruments. Material, nonpublic information concerning market developments may also be construed to
1315
+ be inside information.
1316
+ JPMorgan Chase: JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
1317
+ Material information: Information is "material" when it could have an impact on the market price of
1318
+ that issuer (c.g., to equity, but not to debt). Examples of information that could be material include:
1319
+ • securities offerings and repurchases
1320
+ • a change in earnings and dividends (or estimates of same)
1321
+ • significant new business products, discoveries, and services, or the loss of any of these

1326
+ Case 1:22-cv-10904-JSR Document 326-51 Filed 09/08/23 Page 34 of 35
1327
+ • a change in an issuer's credit rating by a rating agency
1328
+ • significant shifts in operating or financial circumstances, such as cash-flow reductions, major
1329
+ write-offs, changes in accounting methods and strikes at major plants
1330

1332
+ • significant litigation or litigation developments
1333
+ • governmental developments that could affect securities markets
1334
+ • changes in control or management
1335
+ • developments regarding customers or suppliers (e.g. loss or acquisition of a contract)
1336
+ Need-to-know: Persons with a "need-to-know" information require access to that information in order to
1337
+ perform the services we are engaged to provide to the party who provided the information to us --- for
1338
+ example, lawyers, accountants and other experts, Compliance officers, credit personnel, and senior
1339
+ management personnel. Who "needs to know" any particular information will depend on the specific
1340
+ facts and circumstances; if in doubt, consult the Legal and Compliance Department. Justification of
1341
+ communicating confidential information does not exist simply because the information is helpful to
1342
+ another department in activities that are unrelated to the service or transaction for which the information
1343
+ was obtained. In some circumstances, legal counsel may determine that limited disclosure is required by
1344
+ law (in response to a subpoena, for example) or is otherwise appropriate. These decisions should be made
1345
+ only by the Legal and Compliance Department.
1346
+ Nonpublic/Public information: Information should be considered nonpublic unless it is clearly public.
1347
+ Information is deemed public once it has been publicly announced or otherwise disseminated in a manner
1348
+ that makes the information available to investors generally. For example, limited disclosure over a
1349
+ private wire service for institutional investors is not considered full disclosure to the public. Information
1350
+ disclosed in a press release distributed through a widely circulated news or wire service would generally
1351
+ be considered public.
1352
+ Personal fiduciary: A person who has undertaken to act primarily for another's benefit, such as a trustee,
1353
+ executor, attorney-in-fact, or guardian, outside the scope of your normal job responsibilities at JPMorgan
1354
+ Routine banking services: In general, branch banking services (checking or savings accounts, etc.)

+ would be considered routine banking services. Whether any other service is "routine" will be a casespecific determination, based on factors such as the size of the transaction, the extent of the relationship
1356
+ with the customer, and whether the service(s) provided are subject to variable pricing for different
1357
+ customers. If in doubt about whether a customer relationship with a not-for-profit organization triggers
1358
+ the pre-clearance requirements of Section 6.3.2(2)(a), discuss the situation with your Code Specialist.
1359
+ Senior-Level Employee: A Senior-Level Employee is any employee whose (a) annual base salary rate is
1360
+ US$150,000 (or the local currency equivalent) or higher, OR (b) annual total cash compensation is
1361
+ US$250,000 (or the local currency equivalent) or higher. "Annual total cash compensation" means the
1362
+ employee's annual base salary rate plus job/shift differentials as of the last preceding August 1, plus cash
1363
+ earnings under any incentive plans or programs (e.g., annual bonus, commissions, draws, overrides, and
1364
+ special recognition payments or incentives) that are paid to or deferred by the employee during the 12-
1365
+ month period ending the last preceding July 31. It does not include overtime pay. (For US employees,
1366
+ annual total cash compensation is the same as benefits pay for medical purposes, as shown in the
1367
+ employee's last annual benefits enrollment materials.)

18
+ P. Visoski, Jr., declare as follows:
19
+ 1. Iam
20
+ P. Visoski, Jr., a non-party in the above-captioned matter.
21
+ 2. I was employed as a pilot for Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein") from July 1991 through
22
+ August 2019.
23
+ 3. I recall that, in approximately 2002 or 2003, when I first started flying that Epstein's
24
+ Boeing 727, we used cash to pay for jet fuel.
25
+ 4. Specifically, it is my recollection that, during this time period, the fuel refinery at the
26
+ John F. Kennedy International Airport ("JFK") offered a significant discount if cash
27
+ was used to purchase fuel because they were not set up to accept credit card payment.
28
+ Accordingly, we used cash to purchase fuel on approximately six to ten occasions
29
+ during the 2002-2003-time frame. Once the fuel price increased and there was less of
30
+ a discount compared to what other fuel suppliers which accepted credit cards offered,
31
+ we ceased using cash to purchase jet fuel.
32
+ On these occasions, I recall picking up the cash from Epstein's office prior to the
33
+ flight and the manager from the fuel company would collect the money on board the
34
+ plane. It is my recollection that all these transactions were documented.

97
+ QUESTIONS BY MR. PENDELL:
98
+ Well, and my question was a
99
+ little bit broader than that, and I apologize
100
+ if I asked a bad question. That may happen
101
+ from time to time.
102
+ I'm notorious for asking
103
+ bad questions.
104
+ But I'm interested generally
105
+ in -- do you think that people and businesses
106
+ have an obligation to comply with the law,
107
+ whatever that law is?
108
+ A.
109
+ I would agree, yes.
110
+ Do you have any opinion as to
111
+ whether JPMorgan |
112
+ A.
113
+ I do not.
114
+ No opinion one way or the
115
+ other?
116
+ A.
117
+ I don't.
118
+ Okay. Mr. Fonseca, what
119
+ subject areas do you consider yourself to be
120
+ an expert in?

151
+ Anything relevant to crimes
152
+ against children.
153
+ Okay. You are not a certified
154
+ public accountant; is that correct?
155
+ A.
156
+ That is correct.
157
+ e.
158
+ Okay. During your tenure as an
159
+ FBI special agent, I understand that based on
160
+ your CV, and we're going to talk about it a
161
+ little bit more later, you had some
162
+ supervisory authority for other special
163
+ agents; is that true?
164
+ A.
165
+ That is correct.
166
+ Okay. And during your time
167
+ with that supervisory authority over other
168
+ FBI special agents, did you expect that those
169
+ agents that you supervised were going to
170
+ gather as much evidence as possible for an
171
+ investigation that you were pursuing?
172
+ MR. BOUCHOUX: Objection to the
173
+ form.
174
+ THE WITNESS: I expected them
175
+ to do their job. Collecting evidence
176
+ was part of them doing their job, yes.

208
+ under the age of 18, and the responsibility
209
+ for investigating that would fall outside of
210
+ crimes against children?
211
+ A.
212
+ That is correct. That would --
213
+ if you're referring back to the human
214
+ trafficking scenario I just provided, if they
215
+ were here and not documented and they were
216
+ underage, the human trafficking squad -- the
217
+ public corruption squad and their agent that
218
+ worked human trafficking there for
219
+ undocumented -- and I'1l say women because
220
+ that is pretty much what we saw, was women --
221
+ they would work that case, correct.
222
+ l.
223
+ And what about -- so if you had
224
+ sex trafficking of people under the age of 18
225
+ that were US citizens, would that fall under
226
+ crimes against children?
227
+ A.
228
+ Correct. Adult or child, yes.
229
+ Q.
230
+ Okay. When you say adult or
231
+ children, if somebody -- if there was a sex
232
+ trafficking operation and everyone involved
233
+ was over the age of 18, would crimes against
234
+ children, would that -- what do you call it,
235
+ a bureau or squad?
236
+ A.
237
+ The squad.

277

278
+ While employed by the FBI, were
279
+ you responsible for providing official
280
+ opinions interpreting FBI investigative
281
+ policy?
282
+ A.
283
+ No, I was not.
284
+ e.
285
+ While employed by the FBI, were
286
+ you responsible for setting any other FBI
287
+ policies?
288
+ A.
289
+ No.
290
+ We talked a little bit about
291
+ your experience with the FBI in the crimes
292
+ against children squad.
293
+ I want to focus a little bit
294
+ more on your work within that department
295
+ specifically investigating sex trafficking.

326
+ you
327
+ involved in at the FBI that specifically
328
+ involved
329
+ sex trafficking?
330
+ A.
331
+ That's a difficult question to
332
+ answer, specifically because I was involved
333
+ as an investigator and as a coordinator for a
334
+ task force that saw a dozen cases a week. So
335
+ it was -- it could be more than that. so
336
+ it's difficult to answer that question. A
337
+ lot.
338
+ Well, let me ask you this. You
339
+ had talked earlier about an example of a case
340
+ you worked on with -- I don't want to call
341
+ him a gentleman, because I would argue that
342
+ he's not, but a man who lured an underage
343
+ person over the Internet across state lines
344
+ for the purposes of sex.
345
+ Although reprehensible and a
346
+ criminal act, would you agree that that
347
+ particular instance is not sex trafficking?
348
+ MR. BOUCHOUX: Objection to the
349
+ form.
350
+ THE WITNESS: I can't tell you
351
+ what he was -- I can't tell you what
352
+ he was charged with, if we're talking
353
+ about that case with
354

384
+ QUESTIONS BY MR. PENDELL:
385
+ Do you think that the case
386
+ against Mr. Epstein was a routine sex
387
+ trafficking case in your opinion?
388
+ MR. BOUCHOUX: Objection to the

+ THE WITNESS: Can you define

+ "routine"?
392
+ QUESTIONS BY MR. PENDELL:
393
+ e.
394
+ Well, I'm sort of
395
+ interested in -- let me -- well, let me ask
396
+ it this way.
397
+ You've come here and you've
398
+ testified based on your experience --
399
+ A.
400
+ Uh-huh.
401
+ -- that you've worked on
402
+ several, numerous, many, sex trafficking
403
+ cases, and you've never worked on one that
404
+ involved an individual with Mr. Epstein's
405
+ wealth.
406
+ So would you agree with me that
407
+ the sex trafficking case against Mr. Epstein
408
+ was not routine?
409
+ A.
410
+ e.
411
+ No.
412
+ You would not agree with me?

442
+ A.
443
+ I would not agree.
444
+ Why not?
445
+ A.
446
+ The supposition that wealth
447
+ matters when you are working a case that has
448
+ to do with paying juveniles small amounts of
449
+ money, which we saw in every case, to
450
+ sexually abuse them is not unusual. Your
451
+ wealth has nothing to do with those points of
452
+ the sexual abuse.
453
+ Well, fair enough.
454
+ But we're not just talking
455
+ about wealth here, right?
456
+ Let me ask you this question.
457
+ How many sex trafficking cases have you been
458
+ involved in where there were over a hundred
459
+ victims?
460
+ MR. BOUCHOUX: Objection to the
461
+ form.
462
+ THE WITNESS: I don't think
463
+ any.
464
+ QUESTIONS BY MR. PENDELL:
465
+ So would you agree with me that
466

497
+ of view,
498
+ I would say based on my experience,
499
+ that is
500
+ unusual to see that amount of
501
+ victims.
502
+ The way of investigating the case
503
+ would not be unusual.
504
+ Q.
505
+ A hundred victims is a lot,
506
+ isn't it?
507
+ A.
508
+ A hundred victims is a lot
509
+ compared to just one victim, yes.
510
+ e.
511
+ A hundred is --
512
+ And one victim is bad enough.
513
+ A.
514
+ Absolutely.
515
+ e.
516
+ A.
517
+ -- unfathomable, right?
518
+ Absolutely.
519
+ You said something about
520
+ wealth had nothing to do with making it
521
+ routine or not routine.
522
+ I'm paraphrasing
523
+ here because you said something about small
524
+ amounts of money that were paid.
525
+ Have you looked at how much
526
+ money was involved specifically in this case?
527
+ MR. BOUCHOUX: Objection to the
528

529
+ THE WITNESS: From the payments
530

565

566
+ don't -- I don't know who I'd assign

569
+ QUESTIONS BY MR. PENDELL:
570
+ And let me ask you another
571
+ question in light of counsel's objection,
572
+ which was fair.
573
+ During your tenure with the FBI
574
+ investigating sex trafficking of children,
575
+ were you ever responsible for reviewing the
576
+ financial information of a suspect?
577
+ A.
578
+ And to be clear, too, sex
579
+ trafficking is not just with children. We
580
+ investigated adults as well.
581
+ But the financial interest?
582
+ Your question about that was?
583
+ e.
584
+ Yes. Did you ever review the
585
+ financial information of a suspect?
