 The U.S Virgin Islands sued JPMorgan for facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's underage sex-trafficking operations. A month before trial, the bank just settled the case for $75M.

JPMorgan's net income in the last quarter was ~$1.37B per day, meaning the cost of preventing a trial amounted to a mere 1/18th of a single day of profits in Q2.
