Recently filed court documents in Manhattan reveal that the late Jeffrey Epstein orchestrated a horrifying scheme, trafficking desperate underage girls from impoverished Eastern European countries and selling them as sex-slave child brides to wealthy older men, as per Globe. These revelations, which are part of Epstein's sinister blackmail plot, come from sources familiar with the ongoing investigation.

The documents, filed on April 4 in Manhattan federal court, describe Epstein's twisted business of marrying off underage girls to his associates and employees. This allowed them to obtain green cards, granting them the ability to live and work for Epstein's sex ring in the U.S. and at his Caribbean hideaway on Little St. James Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Sources indicate that federal authorities are also investigating Epstein's clients, who purchased his child brides based on the information in these documents, as well as a collection of spy camera tapes recorded at his various properties. These recordings, taken by the late billionaire who died under suspicious circumstances in his Manhattan prison cell in 2019, could have been used for extortion.

The documents allege that young girls were paid over "$1 million collectively" through accounts at JPMorgan bank between 2003 and 2013. They further claim that "at least 20 individuals paid through JP Morgan accounts were victims of trafficking and sexual assault in Little St. James, New York, and/or other Epstein properties."

"In several instances, the victims were required to marry other Epstein [associates] in order to maintain their immigration status and availability to Epstein," the documents state.

The attorney general's office of the Virgin Islands accuses JPMorgan of ignoring evidence of human trafficking for over a decade due to Epstein's apparent wealth and the business he brought to the bank. JPMorgan officials, however, deny any knowledge of Epstein's illicit activities and maintain that they broke no laws.

Criminal attorney Peter J. Gleason, a former NYPD police officer, suggests that this scandal may also hinder Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal of her 20-year sentence for recruiting and grooming underage girls for the sex ring.

Gleason speculates that Ghislaine's alleged 2016 marriage to absentee husband Scott Borgerson "was an economic partnership," adding that it "stinks of filthy possibility."

He also believes that the court case will expose the identities of Epstein's high-profile clients. "It could potentially bring to light powerful new players in Epstein's schemes with various levels of culpability," Gleason says.

The court filing argues that JPMorgan should have been suspicious of Epstein's activities, noting that the bank was aware of his status as a felon, registered sex offender, and alleged child trafficker.

As the case proceeds, it remains to be seen whether the identities of Epstein's clients will be revealed. Gleason predicts that when it happens, "the hot shots will be running for cover."
