This document is Exhibit 1 filed in the case USVI v. JPMorgan Chase (related to Jeffrey Epstein), but the content is the January 2014 Deferred Prosecution Agreement between the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) and JPMorgan Chase regarding the Madoff Ponzi scheme. JPMorgan admitted to violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, specifically failing to maintain an effective anti-money laundering program and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) in the U.S. despite having suspicions about Madoff's returns. The bank agreed to forfeit $1.7 billion to the United States.

This document is an internal email chain from the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) dated October 2020, discussing a press inquiry from the NY Daily News. The reporter, Stephen Rex Brown, provides details of a story alleging that in 2016, SDNY prosecutors (specifically an AUSA named Kramer) met with victims' lawyers but declined to pursue new charges against Jeffrey Epstein or perjury charges against Ghislaine Maxwell. The internal SDNY response suggests they have no record of the second meeting mentioned and decide not to push back against the story.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019847.jpg

This document is a page from a larger report (identified by the House Oversight footer) analyzing the tenure of Preet Bharara at the Southern District of New York (SDNY). It criticizes the office for failing to prosecute individual banking executives following the 2008 financial crisis, noting that while firms like SAC Capital and JPMorgan Chase faced fines or pleas, individuals (with the exception of Kareem Serageldin) generally avoided criminal charges. The text discusses the jurisdictional habits of the SDNY and its handling of cases related to the Madoff Ponzi scheme and mortgage-backed securities.
