Jeffrey Epstein Accusers Sue Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan Chase for ‘Profiting’ Off Trafficking
Women who accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse sued Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan Chase on Thursday, accusing the mega banks of enabling the dead billionaire's alleged “commercial sex trafficking enterprise.”
The lawsuits, filed in New York and first reported by the Wall Street Journal, claim the institutions overlooked several “suspicious” withdrawals and payments from Epstein’s bank accounts to profit off his alleged sex crimes—and to retain the business of wealthy clients associated with Epstein.
“Knowing that they would earn millions of dollars from facilitating Epstein’s sex trafficking, and from its relationship with Epstein, Deutsche Bank chose profit over following the law,” one of the suits stated.
