Bank of America Agrees to Settle Lawsuit from Jeffrey Epstein Victim

Bank of America has reached a settlement with an anonymous woman who accused the financial giant of enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking operation and profiting from his criminal enterprise.

Lawyers for both parties informed a judge they had agreed to a “settlement in principle,” according to court filings made public Monday and reported by the Financial Times.

The proposed agreement contains undisclosed terms and is awaiting judicial approval at a hearing scheduled for early April.

The woman filed her lawsuit in October in Manhattan federal court under the pseudonym Jane Doe.

She sought class action status and financial damages, accusing the bank of “participating in and financially benefiting from Jeffrey Epstein’s widespread and well-publicized sex-trafficking operation, as well as the direct financial benefits it received therefrom.”

According to the complaint, the plaintiff first encountered Epstein while living in Russia in 2011.

She later moved to New York, where she alleges she was abused by Epstein between 2011 and 2019.

The lawsuit claims Bank of America failed to file suspicious activity reports tied to Epstein-linked transactions “before it was far too late” and ignored red flags it had a legal obligation to report.

“A review of Jane Doe’s account history will show incredibly alarming and erratic banking behavior,” the complaint states.

The woman said she opened a Bank of America account in 2013 that Epstein and his accountant, Richard Kahn, allegedly used to pay her monthly rent.

She claimed this arrangement generated documentation used to “defraud immigration officials.”

Kahn allegedly transferred $14,000 into the account shortly after it was opened.

The complaint states that the account “continued to be utilized by Epstein and Kahn through Epstein’s death in 2019 for activities unknown and unexplained to Jane Doe.”

The lawsuit also alleges the woman was placed on the payroll of a sham company, which paid her through another Bank of America account.

Federal law requires banks to monitor for money laundering and report suspicious activity.

Epstein’s sex crimes became public as early as 2006, and he entered a non-prosecution agreement with the Justice Department in 2008.

The complaint further highlights an “abnormal” $170 million payment made to Epstein by billionaire Leon Black from a Bank of America account.

The money was allegedly for “tax and estate planning advice.”

Black was scheduled to be deposed as a witness, but is not a defendant in the case.

U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff denied Bank of America’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit last month.

The plaintiff had also sought class action status, which could have significantly expanded potential damages.

The plaintiff is represented by Boies Schiller Flexner.

The law firm has previously secured settlements in similar Epstein-related cases against major financial institutions.

Those cases resulted in payouts of $290 million from JPMorgan and $75 million from Deutsche Bank to settle claims brought by trafficking victims.
