The US Virgin Islands has issued a subpoena to tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, seeking documents related to JPMorgan Chase & Co’s involvement in the activities of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The subpoena, which was issued on April 28, recently came to light when the Virgin Islands government informed a court that they were unable to locate Musk for service. To find him, an investigative firm was employed to search public databases and email one of Musk’s lawyers, but they received no response. Consequently, the government sought permission to serve Tesla Inc, Musk’s electric vehicle company, instead.

The subpoena aims to obtain documents from January 1, 2022, to the present, focusing on communications between Musk and JPMorgan, as well as Musk and Epstein. The US Virgin Islands is interested in uncovering information about Epstein’s involvement in Musk’s accounts, transactions, financial management, and any potential payments made to Epstein. It is important to note that Musk is not being accused of wrongdoing; however, he is considered a high-net-worth individual who Epstein may have referred or attempted to refer to JPMorgan. Additionally, the subpoena requests any documents Musk possesses regarding Epstein’s participation in human trafficking and the procurement of girls for commercial sex.

Back in 2019, a spokeswoman for Musk refuted claims that Epstein had ever advised Elon on anything, stating it was incorrect. On Monday, Musk took to Twitter, asserting that he would not have heeded financial advice from Epstein, referring to him as a “cretin” and denying any involvement or interaction with him.

Regarding JPMorgan, the US Virgin Islands accuses the bank of overlooking red flags pertaining to Epstein’s abuse of women on the private island he owned in the region, called Little St. James. The government claims that JPMorgan was “indispensable to the operation and concealment of the Epstein trafficking enterprise.” However, the bank has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities.

Jeffrey Epstein, who allegedly recruited and sexually abused numerous underage girls in his various mansions during the early 2000s, pleaded not guilty to the charges. Sadly, he died by suicide in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in a federal jail in Manhattan. The investigation into Epstein’s activities continues, with the US Virgin Islands seeking to shed light on JPMorgan’s involvement through the recently issued subpoena to Elon Musk.
