Jeffrey Epstein brought a slew of deep-pocketed clients to JPMorgan Chase — including Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who became considered one of the bank’s biggest clients with investments value greater than $4 billion, in accordance with court papers.
A bombshell legal filing within the US Southern District of Recent York late Monday revealed that “Brin became a client of JPMorgan’s San Francisco Private Bank in 2004” — one 12 months after Epstein introduced Brin to Jes Staley, a former executive at JPMorgan.
“The general Brin relationship is considered one of the biggest within the Private Bank, of +$4BN,” wrote banker Robert A. Keller in a memo, who the documents claim was introduced to Epstein by Staley.
Brin, who’s also behind the single-family office Bayshore Global, also met with the CEO of JPMorgan’s asset and wealth management division, Mary Erdoes, plus other JPMorgan executives and members of Bayshore, the memo filed in court states.
“We work very closely with the Sergey Brin family office … and communicate with them a minimum of 1 x per day,” Keller added on the memo.
On the time, in 2004, Brin was No. 19 on Forbes’ Billionaires list.
Onboarding documents included within the docket showed that on the time, “Brin’s fortune passed the $30 billion mark.”

Brin, a 49-year-old father-of-two, is now No. 11 on the Forbes list with a net value of $99.1 billion.
Also in 2003, Epstein reportedly introduced Brin’s fellow Google co-founder Larry Page to JPMorgan, the court documents showed.
A Google spokesperson didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.
Reps for Brin and Page couldn’t be reached for comment.
An piece of email cited within the filing also revealed that JPMorgan referred to Epstein as “the advisor to the Google founders.”
In keeping with the filing, the message was sent by Ann Borowiec, a former managing director on the bank, to Staley, referencing the potential “must have a NY team for Jeffrey Epstein, because the advisor to the Google founders.”
“We’ve got not brought an investor onto the team yet, because we desired to see in the event you agreed that it must be Bob Blanch,” she wrote, referencing one other managing director.
“Since you already know Jeffrey, which one would you choose?” Borowiec asked Staley.
“What do you recommend as next best step? A gathering/call with you. A gathering with Jeffrey?”
In keeping with the court documents, Staley was introduced to Epstein by former JPMorgan head honcho Sandy Warner “in or concerning the 2000 time period.”
Warner told Staley: “You need to meet Epstein. He’s one of the crucial connected people I do know of in Recent York.”

Before referencing Brin and Page to JPMorgan, Epstein brought a slew of individuals in his high-net-worth network to the bank, including Bill Gates, the Sultan of Dubai, Prince Andrew, Hyatt hotel heir Thomas Pritzker, billionaire hedge fund founder Glenn Dubin “and lots of other ultra-wealthy clients.”
By 2003, when Brin and Page reportedly joined the bank, “Epstein was also bringing in over $8 million in revenues to the Private Bank,” the court documents said.
The figure was “the highest revenue and nearly double the quantity of the following highest client,” the filing added.
The fresh evidence is an element of the Virgin Islands’ lawsuit claiming JPMorgan benefitted from Epstein’s infamous sex-trafficking ring while ignoring his sordid misdeeds, where the isle’s government is looking for a minimum of $190 million to settle the suit.
The sum includes $150 million in civil fines and a minimum of $40 million in penalties for maintaining a 15-year relationship with Epstein.
Each Brin and Page have been issued subpoenas as a part of the continued, high-profile suit.
Representatives for JPMorgan didn’t immediately reply to The Post’s request for comment.

Brin was subpoenaed in April. The US Virgin Islands’ attorney general has asked legal representatives for Brin to show over any documents or information related the bank and Epstein.
The US Virgin Islands attempted to subpoena Page as a part of the lawsuit as well, but a court filing from May showed that government officials couldn’t find him to serve him the papers.
The 50-year-old tech mogul — who’s value $104.3 billion, in accordance with Forbes — stays largely out of the general public eye.
Even though it’s unclear where he resides, legal documents obtained by Insider revealed Page owns 4 islands and reportedly spent much of the pandemic hiding out in Fiji.
Three of Page’s islands are situated within the Caribbean: Hand Lollik, its neighboring Little Hans Lollik, and Eustatia Island, while Tavarua lies west of the fundamental Fijian island.
Page and Brin co-founded Google in 1998 based on research they conducted together while at Stanford University as doctoral students.
A restructuring of Google in 2015 made Alphabet the search giant’s corporate parent.

The duo held top jobs on the organization — Page had been the chief executive of Google and Brin had been the president of Google — until 2019, once they stepped down and Sundar Pichai took over as Alphabet’s CEO.
Page stays a board member and controlling shareholder for Alphabet.
Brin, the second-largest shareholder behind Page, was reportedly hands-off since leaving his day-to-day role in 2019.
Nonetheless, he’s back within the trenches and dealing with a gaggle of researchers to construct Google’s long-awaited artificial intelligence model, Gemini, in accordance with The Wall Street Journal.
