Jeffrey Epstein paid tuition for the children of the US Virgin Islands’ governor and first lady, including at New York’s Skidmore College, JPMorgan Chase & Co. said in court filings.
Cecile de Jongh, wife of then-USVI Governor John de Jongh Jr., sent Epstein an August 2011 email with the subject line “Please Approve,” attaching a $25,000 tuition bill for Skidmore, a private liberal arts college in Saratoga Springs, New York. The email is among dozens of previously sealed documents the bank filed late Wednesday in Manhattan federal court.
