Billionaires Subpoenaed in Epstein Lawsuit Against JPMorgan

The co-founder of Google and the chairman of Hyatt Hotels Group were subpoenaed along with two other US business leaders as part of a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase & Co. over its ties to Jeffrey Epstein, according to a person familiar with the case.

Sergey Brin, Thomas Pritzker, Michael Ovitz, and Mortimer Zuckerman were served with information requests by lawyers for the US Virgin Islands, the person said. The territory claims JPMorgan knowingly benefited financially from Epstein’s sex-trafficking scheme. 

The subpoenas were first reported by the Wall Street Journal. It’s unclear why the businessmen were asked for material in the case.
