Judge Jed S. Rakoff is the U.S. District Judge who presided over major Epstein-related civil lawsuits against JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank, approving settlements totaling $365 million for survivors.
Rakoff appears in the documents primarily in his judicial capacity overseeing the Doe v. JPMorgan Chase Bank case (No. 1:22-CV-10019). One document contains correspondence addressed to him regarding this lawsuit, while two others mention him in the context of a different case involving Sean Stewart's insider trading retrial and another reference to the Sayoc case where attorneys were seeking to meet with a defendant before sentencing. None of these documents indicate any personal connection to Epstein; rather, they reflect his role as a federal judge handling cases that intersected with Epstein's legacy.
Key Highlights
- •Presided over landmark civil litigation against JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank for alleged complicity in Epstein's sex trafficking
- •Approved $290 million settlement with JPMorgan and $75 million with Deutsche Bank, calling the JPMorgan settlement exceptional in his 27 years on the bench
- •Warned JPMorgan of potential contempt for slow-walking evidence production in the case
- •Ordered unsealing of documents that revealed JPMorgan reported over $1 billion in suspicious Epstein transactions after his death
