US Virgin Islands AG Fired

      Comments Off on US Virgin Islands AG Fired

After successfully settling a $105 million lawsuit against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein in early December, U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise N. George then filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase saying the “bank knowingly provided and pulled the levers through which recruiters and victims were paid.”   Denise George has now been fired.

The lawsuit claims JPMorgan Chase facilitated convicted felon Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of women and girls, alleging that the bank should have known about Epstein’s illegal activity and as part of its anti-money laundering procedures, should have reported their client to authorities.

The filing accused the bank of turning a blind eye to the sex trafficking operations that happened on Epstein’s private island in the USVI, Little St. James.

Denise George’s background:

George served as an Assistant Attorney General and trial attorney in the criminal, civil, family, juvenile, White Collar and public corruption divisions of the Virgin Islands Department of Justice for a period of over 18 years. During her tenure, she successfully prosecuted a full spectrum of violent crimes, including murder, manslaughter, rape, domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse.  As a member of the Child Abuse Task Force, she co-authored the Virgin Islands’ first criminal child abuse and neglect statute.  In the Civil Division, she represented the V.I. government in civil lawsuits filed against and on behalf of the government.

George also served for several years as the Director of the White Collar Crime and Public Corruption Division.  During that time, she managed the division and successfully prosecuted complex white-collar crimes of embezzlement, forgery, fraud, racketeering and public corruption.

Denise George seems eminently qualified to conduct such investigations and prosecutions.  She seems to have taken the approach of following the money.  Just when it appears that there might be someone in government with some integrity, that person is fired.

Was George getting too close to some high-profile politicians’ scandalous activities?  The lawsuit against Epstein’s estate probably yielded a lot of evidence in discovery.  Does the pedophile story run deep inside many governments, not just the US?  Everyone knows about Biden’s proclivities.  Just who else might be swept up by a broad broom?

Who was vacationing in the Virgin Islands?  Surprise, surprise!  Joe Biden is there.  The Virgin Islands were in the midst of trying to obtain massive amounts of federal aid.  Intriguing timing.

Was Biden carrying George’s termination letter?  The coincidences just keep piling up.

This is also meant to send a message to any other prosecutors who would consider doing this.

What will happen to the lawsuit against JP Morgan?  It will disappear.  As Howard Cosell used to say “I know it.  You know it.  And the fans know it.”
