JP Morgan's confidential report says main source of her mysterious wealth can be identified as inheritance
In December 2013, the US private bank JP Morgan asked Ghislaine Maxwell to find another bank to look after her money because of her association with Jeffrey Epstein.
The following year, it set out its reasons for doing so in a confidential report that has now surfaced in the Epstein files.
In justifying its decision to close its doors to Maxwell, JP Morgan appears inadvertently to have answered a question that has formed part of the mystery of Maxwell's relationship with Epstein: where did her money come from?
In a short checklist section of its report, the bank identifies Maxwell's sources of wealth in one word: "Inheritance."
Maxwell's total net worth was $10m, the bank estimated, and said: "We understand her wealth came from trusts her father Robert Maxwell left behind after he passed away" in 1991.
"Client's investable assets were FORMERLY held at PB [JP Morgan Chase private bank], the rest of her wealth is held in her real estate and artwork (NYC townhouse and London townhouse)."
