Billionaires Sergey Brin, Thomas Pritzker, Michael Ovitz and Mortimer Zuckerman were issued subpoenas by the U.S. Virgin Islands on Friday. The request for information comes as part of a lawsuit alleging JP Morgan Chase & Co. helped facilitate Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking ring. Brin is a co-founder of Google, Pritzker is the executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels, Ovitz is a venture capitalist who formerly worked as a Hollywood talent agent, and Zuckerman owns the U.S. News and World Report. The news comes after a Manhattan federal judge shot down the bank’s attempts to have the suit dismissed last week.
