Bank of America is facing a federal lawsuit accusing the financial giant of enabling and profiting from Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking network.
Filed by a woman identified as Jane Doe, the complaint alleges the bank ignored red flags, allowed suspicious transfers, and delayed filing required reports until after Epstein’s 2019 death. The plaintiff claims Epstein’s accountant directed her to open a BofA account in 2013, where millions flowed in under the guise of rent and immigration paperwork.
Rep. Jamie Raskin has already launched a probe into banks’ $1.5 billion in Epstein-linked transactions, questioning whether BofA prioritized profits over victims. The lawsuit seeks class-action status to represent other survivors.
The case follows major settlements with JPMorgan ($290M) and Deutsche Bank ($75M) over similar ties to Epstein.
