Jes Staley was named as a trustee of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate up until at least 2015, newly released documents show, which appear to undermine court testimony from the former Barclays boss that he turned down the role.
Staley was named as one of three trustees for the Jeffrey E Epstein 2014 Trust in a notarised agreement signed and dated by him in May 2015, alongside the late paedophile’s longtime lawyer Darren Indyke and an associate named David Mitchell, a property investor.
Trustees were “entitled” to annual pay of $250,000 as well as reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses, the document reads, although it is unclear if Staley was compensated for his role.
