The U.S. Virgin Islands government says it's unable to locate Google co-founder Larry Page to serve him with a subpoena.

The December-filed lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase alleges they enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring. And the Virgin Islands sued the world’s largest bank claiming it knowingly facilitated Epstein’s exploitation of women and minors.

Jeffrey Epstein's connections to a web of ultra-wealthy people is exposed in the bombshell lawsuit. 

The lawsuit argues that the bank "turned a blind eye to evidence of human trafficking over more than a decade because of Epstein’s own financial footprint and because of the deals and clients that Epstein brought and promised to bring to the bank."

According to a new federal filing, the government tried to serve Page with a subpoena for documents at an address identified by an investigator. But it was not valid.

 The filing recounts that the Virgin Islands has been trying to subpoena the reclusive billionaire. And have been unable to locate him despite "good-faith attempts," which included "hiring an investigative firm to search public records databases."

Epstein maintained a banking relationship with JPMorgan from 1998 to 2013, including after his 2008 conviction for procuring an underage prostitute.

The sprawling compound owned by Epstein in Little St. James, located in the U.S. Virgin Islands, hosted countless VIP guests, including Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton. 

Numerous victims have alleged Epstein sexually abused them on his private island, which is central to the ongoing legal proceedings involving JPMorgan and the U.S. Virgin Islands government.

Google co-founder

Page, a reclusive 50-year-old billionaire, co-founded and co-owns Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google.

 A three-page motion was filed Thursday in the Southern District of New York. It claims Page is a "high-net worth individual who Epstein may have referred or attempted to refer to JPMorgan." 

Page owns four islands, including one in Fiji, where he reportedly spent most of the pandemic on the property by circumventing COVID-19 travel restrictions, according to a Business Insider reporter.

The U.S. Virgin Islands has been trying to subpoena several billionaire businessmen over their purported links to JPMorgan and Epstein. This includes media tycoon Mortimer Zuckerman, fellow Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and Hyatt Hotels Chairman Thomas Pritzker. 

Previous subpoenas were issued to these individuals, but Page remains elusive.

In response, the Virgin Islands has asked Judge Jed Rakoff to let it serve Alphabet Inc. as a substitute for directly serving Page. 

Ongoing lawsuit 

It remains to be seen whether the request will be granted. The lawsuit against JPMorgan is one of the many legal battles that have been waged since Epstein's arrest and suicide in 2019.

Chase has denied allegations it enabled Epstein’s sex trafficking operations. And filed a motion in February to dismiss the Virgin Islands' lawsuit, which its lawyers describe as "legally meritless" and a "masterclass in deflection." 

"Having sought and obtained more than $100 million from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate and businesses for damages caused by his sex trafficking crimes, the United States Virgin Islands now casts farther afield for deeper pockets," the bank’s lawyer wrote. "But this suit involves neither Epstein’s estate, nor his businesses, nor his victims."
