Who is Jj Litchford in the Epstein files?

He was an Associate Banker at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (Deutsche Wealth Management, New York). The files show him servicing Epstein-related accounts: processing and discussing wire transfers, and serving as the named contact on account statements. He appears in 752 documents, and 551 of them are emails with him in the From, To or Cc header.

What was the $20 million wire involving Litchford?

On January 8, 2016, Epstein's office asked Deutsche Bank to move funds from the Haze Trust to a JEE account and wire $20M to the trust account of Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin, a law firm in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Litchford told his colleagues the money appeared to be going to a law firm that focuses on corporate transactions, and guessed it was held in escrow. Paul Morris said such transfers are usually for escrow on a property purchase. The documents do not say what the transfer was ultimately for.

Does Litchford appear in the documents because of wrongdoing?

The documents do not show that. They show routine banker activity: handling wires, flagging large transfers internally, and being listed as an account contact. He is one of several Deutsche Bank employees in these threads. The files contain no allegations against him, and appearing in them is not evidence of misconduct.

Why does Litchford's name appear on bank statements?

Deutsche Bank statements for entities such as Southern Trust Company and JEGE, Inc. say 'For personal assistance call: Jj Litchford.' That identifies him as the bank's service contact for those accounts. It does not by itself show he owned or controlled them.

Watch: Jj Litchford in the Epstein files

1:15

Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.

Jj Litchford was an Associate Banker at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas who worked on Jeffrey Epstein's accounts around 2015–2016. He appears in wire-transfer emails, including a $20 million wire on January 8, 2016, and is listed as the personal-assistance contact on bank statements for Epstein-linked entities.

Most of Litchford's appearances are emails, and many are direct correspondence in which he is a sender, recipient or Cc. In these he handles or discusses wires for Epstein-related accounts with Deutsche Bank colleagues Paul Morris and Stewart Oldfield and with Epstein's staff, such as the sender "bellaklein", Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn. His name also appears as the contact on monthly Deutsche Bank statements for entities such as Southern Trust Company and JEGE, Inc. (November 2015 through February 2016). A smaller number of records are investment-related, such as a January 2016 structured-note email on which he was copied. The documents show him in a servicing and relationship-banker role, and none of them show him doing anything improper.

Key Highlights

•On January 8, 2016, Epstein's side asked Deutsche Bank to process a $20M wire from the Haze Trust to a JEE account and then on to the Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin trust account. Litchford was copied on the request, and Melinda Roy confirmed the wire had gone out that evening.
•Litchford forwarded the wire to colleagues Paul Morris and Stewart Oldfield. He described it as going "From Haze to JE to a law firm in the Virgin Islands" and guessed the money was being held in escrow, since the firm seemed to focus on corporate transactions. Morris replied that money going into escrow for a property purchase was the usual explanation.
•Litchford wrote that he had told two bank contacts (named in the text as Ari and Vahe) to email the team for anything over $1MM. Morris asked him to make sure the person at KCP kept him informed about a larger wire coming from the brokerage account.
•He appears in earlier 'STC wires' threads from October and November 2015 with Paul Morris, Stewart Oldfield and Epstein's staff. Morris advised him on how to approach one contact for a wire.
•Bank statements for several Epstein-linked entities, covering November 2015 to February 2016, list 'Jj Litchford' (with a New York phone number) as the person to call for personal assistance. The accounts include money market, checking and business checking accounts. One February 2016 statement shows a balance above $2.4 million.
•His most frequent co-appearances are with Deutsche Bank colleague Paul Morris (285 shared documents), then Martha Stewart, Darren Indyke, Jeffrey Epstein and Stewart Oldfield. Several of these links likely come from shared statement and email distributions.
