Last year, Harvey Weinstein was found guilty by a Los Angeles jury — though in a mixed verdict, the hung jury could not reach an unanimous decision on all counts with the judge declaring a mistrial on three of seven charges.

On Tuesday morning, the judge dismissed those three remaining charges, and ruled that she would not be putting Weinstein back on trial.

Prior to the judge’s decision, the prosecution announced that the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office would not be proceeding with the remaining charges.

Weinstein was sentenced last month to 16 additional years for his most recent conviction in L.A. He is already serving a 23-year sentence for his 2020 rape and sexual assault conviction in New York, and will all-but-likely spend the rest of his life behind bars. He is appealing both of his convictions.

Ghislaine Maxwell returned to court on Friday for a virtual hearing in her lawsuit against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein.​


Ghislaine Maxwell is still pursuing her lawsuit against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein despite her attorneys withdrawing from the case back in August 2022.
The British-born, convicted felon, 61, attended a status conference for that case in the Virgin Islands on Friday, appearing virtually from the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Tallahassee.

Maxwell also served as her own lawyer for the proceedings, which lasted a total of four minutes.

The conference began promptly at 10 a.m., with the court inquiring if Maxwell wished to proceed with her lawsuit against Epstein's estate or squash it, according to the clerk's notes obtained by Inside Edition Digital.

Maxwell expressed her desire to continue with the suit and then asked the court if there could be a 60-day stay in the proceedings as she attempts to hire a new lawyer.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -A U.S. judge rejected requests to sever JPMorgan Chase & Co's lawsuit accusing former executive Jes Staley of concealing what he knew about Jeffrey Epstein from two related lawsuits over its work for the late sex offender. Monday's decision by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan is a defeat for Staley, and for women who claim that Epstein sexually abused them and are also suing the largest U.S. bank.

Epstein was a JPMorgan client from 2000 to 2013. The U.S. Virgin Islands, where the financier had a home, is also suing JPMorgan.

A trial in all three cases is scheduled for Oct. 23.

In a separate decision, Rakoff rejected JPMorgan's request to block the U.S. Virgin Islands from expanding its lawsuit by adding a obstruction charge and a claim that bank executives joked about Epstein's interest in young girls.Staley, 66, is a former JPMorgan private banking chief who later spent six years as Barclays Plc's chief executive before resigning in November 2021.

He had argued that the trial schedule left him too little time to defend against JPMorgan's "slanderous" accusations.

But the judge called Staley a "prominent focus" of all three cases, and noted that his Washington law firm Williams & Connolly calls itself one of the world's "premier" litigation firms.

"None of Staley's whines remotely warrants either a severance or a change in the joint trial date," Rakoff wrote.
 
More stuff on JPM and Epstein.

Judge reveals new details about JP Morgan exec's ties to Jeffrey Epstein

The executive, Jes Staley, allegedly assaulted some of Epstein's victims while helping finance the pedophile's crimes.
www.newsweek.com www.newsweek.com

Newly released court documents allege former JP Morgan executive Jes Staley was personally involved in a series of crimes tied to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, actively engaging in a number of his alleged crimes against young women at his Caribbean island compound frequented by Epstein's rich and connected clients.

The revelations, unveiled for the first time Monday, come as part of a broader inquiry into a judge's decision to advance claims alleging that major financial firms doing business with Epstein like JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank knowingly profited from Epstein's sex trafficking scheme, allowing him to pump millions of dollars into a venture that top executives knew was illegal.

JP Morgan, the original complaint alleges, was Epstein's principal bank at the time, and abetted in his crimes by allowing him to withdraw large amounts of cash to fund the operation in a way that wouldn't raise suspicion. And Staley, who once advised Epstein as head of JP Morgan's private banking division, allegedly witnessed Epstein abusing an underage girl and had personally traveled to Epstein's private island in the Caribbean as early as 2009.

In a 54-page ruling issued May 1, U.S. District Court Judge Jed S. Rakoff alleged Staley was personally involved in the abuse of "some" of Epstein's victims living on the island, even receiving a "sexually suggestive" photograph from the reclusive millionaire of a young woman victimized by his human trafficking ring.

On several occasions, evidence suggested Epstein had sent Staley images of young women in suggestive poses, while officials with the U.S. Virgin Islands assert in their own filings that it possesses email correspondence between Epstein and Staley that suggests—albeit cryptically—that Staley had sexual encounters with women on the island while visiting Epstein. And Epstein, the original complaint alleges, profited greatly in the process.

Court: Records of Florida grand jury's Jeffrey Epstein investigation can be made public

A Florida appeals court has opened the door for the possible release of transcripts of the grand jury investigation into notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein nearly 20 years ago that ended with prosecutors negotiating a plea deal that critics have called questionably lenient.

Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeals unanimously agreed that Circuit Judge Donald W. Hafele had erred when he ruled he had no authority to release the normally secret transcripts of the 2006 Palm Beach County proceedings. The court cited a state law provision that says grand jury records can be made public if that is a “furtherance of justice.”

The court in Wednesday’s decision ordered Hafele to review the transcripts and to release those he deems would further justice, redacting the names of victims, witnesses and those who have not been criminally charged. There is a public interest in knowing whether the wealthy and politically connected Epstein, who lived in a Palm Beach mansion, was given special treatment, the court ruled.

Interesting. I really had to dig to find this. I was searching for Jes Staley and JPM and found this. The narrative makes it sound like the case settled but they were found guilty. $75 million in fines to be shared by around 15 women by my calculations ($75 million and approx $5 million each the article states) .

Epstein was only a client of Deutsche for 5 years according to the article. (From 2013 to 2018)

German lender Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) has resolved a lawsuit accusing it of supporting Jeffrey Epstein’s illegal people trafficking activities. The banker will pay up to $75 million in fines to settle the case with a woman who claimed that Deutsche Bank made money from Epstein’s illegal business. The settlement amount may be shared by several women (roughly up to $5 million each) who have been victims of Epstein’s abuse.


The case against DB was first filed in November 2022, along with two other cases charging American rival JP Morgan Chase (NYSE:JPM). The Financial Times stated that the woman claimed Deutsche Bank “chose profit over following the law,” knowing that it would “earn millions of dollars from facilitating Epstein’s sex trafficking.”


In 2013, DB signed Epstein as a client, and he brought with him over 40 new accounts for the bank. However, due to the numerous claims of sexual assault against Epstein in 2018, the bank dismissed him as a client. Since that time, DB has hired more than 1,900 individuals for internal compliance control.


The lawsuit has been ongoing for over ten years. Additionally, Deutsche Bank made a payment of $150 million for its association with Epstein to the New York State Department of Financial Services in 2020. The banker tried hard to push off the case this time but ended up losing again. The judge noted that Deutsche Bank advised Epstein on how to maneuver withdrawals to evade notice and failed to file suspicious activity reports.

Bill Gates had an affair with a grown woman. Epstein was mad because Gates wouldn't participate in a scam. I've read this on MSM sites. So what should the MSM be doing differently? Here's a CNN report:

Sorry not going to watch it. MSM didn't report sh*t or as they should have on any of this--not on Epstein, Maxwell's trial or the big names connected here UNLESS it fit the views of those that control it but even then they didn't dare go too far with a ten foot pole.

Don't get me started on Bill Gates. I'll start out with schools and children.

Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it wasn't covered. After that video is one about Hunter Biden's laptop. One side of the political spectrum wants you to believe that MSM is selective, while deliberately lying about things that end up causing the deaths of six people. The Washington Post printed an opinion piece written by someone who said there needs to be a lot more attention paid to Hunter Biden's laptop.

We all know about Hunter though but noone knew about that Gates affair and his association with Epstein AFAIK. What is the thing about six people? I don't think I heard about that.
