Episode notes

The suit involved JP Morgan's long-running business relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The bank, which made nearly $40 billion in profits last year, will pay the settlement to a group of Epstein's victims. These high-profile legal cases involving big corporate names rarely make it to trial.

EY’s global chief executive Carmine Di Sibio says he is planning to retire next year, and the FT’s Joshua Franklin explains the impact of JPMorgan settling a lawsuit over its 15-year relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Plus, in the fourth and final part of our housing series, we look at what the government can do to bring down prices.
