- The US Virgin Islands is suing JPMorgan for facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking scheme.
- But the bank says the territory should have stopped Epstein with its law enforcement powers.
- The Virgin Islands gave tax breaks to Epstein's businesses, the bank said.
Attorneys for JPMorgan lashed out at the US Virgin Islands in a court filing on Wednesday night, alleging the territory "did nothing to stop" Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking operation and is merely deflecting blame by suing the bank for facilitating the now-dead pedophile's scheme.
