03:16 PM EDT, 10/31/2025 (MT Newswires) -- JPMorgan ( JPM ) flagged more than $1 billion in potentially suspicious transactions related to Jeffrey Epstein just weeks after the financier's death in 2019, the New York Times said Friday, citing a previously sealed internal report by the bank.

The largest US bank alerted the government to about 4,700 transactions totaling around $1 billion, allegedly suspicious activity involving Epstein and several prominent Wall Street and business figures.

JPMorgan ( JPM ) in its report stated it pointed to the transfers as they were potentially associated with reports of human trafficking involving Mr. Epstein. It also cited Epstein's wire transfers to Russian banks and sensitivities around "his relationships with two U.S. presidents," as per the New York Times.

JPMorgan ( JPM ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
