“JPMorgan Chase said it has agreed to settle a lawsuit alleging the financial institution facilitated Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation.
A woman who is listed anonymously as Jane Doe in court papers filed the suit last year in New York on behalf of herself and other accusers of the convicted sex offender. She accused America’s biggest bank of profiting from Epstein’s activities and assisting in his alleged sex trafficking by enabling him to make payments to women for sex acts.
The Doe plaintiff said she was sexually abused by Epstein from 2006 to 2013 and trafficked to his friends. She alleged that Epstein paid her and other victims with cash withdrawn from JPMorgan. The settlement is expected to compensate multiple accusers. Financial terms weren’t disclosed.
‘The parties believe this settlement is in the best interests of all parties, especially the survivors who were the victims of Epstein’s terrible abuse,’ the bank said in a press release.”
“As the cost of living in the U.S. continues to climb, foreclosures are also on the rise.
May foreclosure-related filings, which include default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions, were up 7% from April and up 14% from a year ago, to 35,196 properties, according to the real estate data group ATTOM.
Lenders began the foreclosure process on 23,245 properties in May, up 4% from last month and up 5% from a year ago. States with the most foreclosure starts in May included Florida, where 2,901 foreclosures got underway, followed by California, with 2,451 foreclosures started, and Texas, where 2,286 properties fell into the foreclosure column.
Illinois and New York foreclosure starts came in at 1,358 and 1,287, respectively.
‘The recent increase in foreclosure filings nationwide indicates a trend that has been observed throughout the year, and what we have expected to occur,’ Rob Barber, ATTOM’s CEO, said in a statement. ‘This upward trajectory suggests the possibility of continued heightened activity, and with foreclosure completions seeing the largest monthly increase this year, we will continue to monitor the potential impacts this may have on the housing market.’”
“Much of the theft was brazen, even simple.
Fraudsters used the Social Security numbers of dead people and federal prisoners to get unemployment checks. Cheaters collected those benefits in multiple states. And federal loan applicants weren’t cross-checked against a Treasury Department database that would have raised red flags about sketchy borrowers.
Criminals and gangs grabbed the money. But so did a U.S. soldier in Georgia, the pastors of a defunct church in Texas, a former state lawmaker in Missouri and a roofing contractor in Montana.
All of it led to the greatest grift in U.S. history, with thieves plundering billions of dollars in federal COVID-19 relief aid intended to combat the worst pandemic in a century and to stabilize an economy in free fall.
An Associated Press analysis found that fraudsters potentially stole more than $280 billion in COVID-19 relief funding; another $123 billion was wasted or misspent. Combined, the loss represents 10% of the $4.2 trillion the U.S. government has so far disbursed in COVID relief aid.
That number is certain to grow as investigators dig deeper into thousands of potential schemes.
How could so much be stolen? Investigators and outside experts say the government, in seeking to quickly spend trillions in relief aid, conducted too little oversight during the pandemic’s early stages and instituted too few restrictions on applicants. In short, they say, the grift was just way too easy.
‘Here was this sort of endless pot of money that anyone could access,’ said Dan Fruchter, chief of the fraud and white-collar crime unit at the U.S. Attorney’s office in the Eastern District of Washington. ‘Folks kind of fooled themselves into thinking that it was a socially acceptable thing to do, even though it wasn’t legal.’”

“Masters Of The Grift Monday,” Ripped From The Headlines. Things To Ponder:
“We Didn’t Do ANYTHING Wrong! But Heres $290 Million Dollars…”
Nice work, JP Morgan…
It looks like it got a little too hot in the kitchen for the arrogance of the super-scammy mega-bank that wants to control your life, so they folded like a cheap suit…
Because they are guilty of being complicit and they got caught, regardless of the “settlement.”
This part is really telling:
A woman who is listed anonymously as Jane Doe in court papers filed the suit last year in New York on behalf of herself and other accusers of the convicted sex offender. She accused America’s biggest bank of profiting from Epstein’s activities and assisting in his alleged sex trafficking by enabling him to make payments to women for sex acts.
This is the type of conduct that the US government supports…
So much so, THEY PAID JP MORGAN $50 BILLION DOLLARS TO BUY A FAILING BANK.
Let that sink in…
As the banking system in the US continues to teeter on the edge, JP Morgan may be one of the few digital prisons left for you to put your money into.
There’s no chair for you when the music stops. Brace for impact.
“It’s Just Foreclosures… What Could Go Wrong?”
The economy is the gift that keeps on giving for researchers like us who connect the dots…
We’ll keep it simple:
Housing is too expensive;
Wages aren’t keeping up, and people are being let go;
We keep getting incomplete data from people who should know better, like this:
339,000 jobs “added…”
And 310,000 lost.
That’s a perfect storm for bad things to happen.
Just ask Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM, a real estate data group:
“This upward trajectory suggests the possibility of continued heightened activity, and with foreclosure completions seeing the largest monthly increase this year, we will continue to monitor the potential impacts this may have on the housing market.’”
Know Your Foe.
“Masters Of The Grift”
We knew that the grift from COVID was bad…
But WOW… $400 BILLION?
That’s a lot of champagne, fancy cars, badly decorated houses, plastic surgery, and theft!
If you’re asking yourself “How does that even happen?”
That’s the right question.
And it’s a good one…
You should start with your representative in Congress by Clicking Here, and in the US Senate by Clicking Here.
Ask them to explain why they let your money be stolen from you like you’re in the 3rd grade.
Know Your Foe.
You need to be prepared… there’s just too much crazy stuff happening.
We’ve found the 4Patriots solar generators to be light and easy to use. Plus, they are quiet and don’t require fuel.
You’re able to power key things like your fridge, freezer, coffee maker, and more.
What Does This Mean?
Your government, and its minions, are out of control and blatantly violate the will of the people while robbing you blind…
They want you in a position where you can’t move, spend, eat, or do anything else, sans a Parallel Economy…
The US is turning into a combination of Mad Max & The Hunger Games…
What do YOU think that all means for you?
Why should I care?
Being able to…
Eat…
Travel…
Defend Yourself…
May all get REALLY tough to do…
Everything IS NOT fine.
You should care.
What Should I Do?
Get a plan together, ASAP.
Spiritual, Financial, Community, and Contingency.
It feels like a dark cloud, but if you’re prepared, you can help to turn things around and help people to recover.
But you have to be here and functioning to do that.
We’ll say the same thing to you that we say to ourselves every day:
Millions of people are counting on you. Get to it!
