In November 2024, JPMorgan Chase files a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court against its own insurance companies - Liberty Mutual, Chubb, Federal Insurance, Westchester Fire. The bank had already paid $290 million to settle with nearly 200 Epstein victims, and now it wants its carriers to cover the tab. The insurers said no. Their argument: you do not get to facilitate a sex trafficking operation and then file a claim.

This episode follows the insurance trail - the unprecedented coverage quagmire where professional liability excludes intentional misconduct and general liability requires an accident, Deutsche Bank's $150 million fine for KYC failures, the Victims Compensation Fund that paid $121 million from the estate with zero dollars from insurers, stigma damages that wiped $26 million off Epstein's assets, and Southern Country International - the offshore bank Epstein created in the USVI that never commenced normal operations.
