Bank of America and Bank of New York Mellon are facing lawsuits alleging they knowingly provided financial services that enabled Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation. According to court papers, Epstein's victims claim the banks ignored red flags and facilitated transactions that supported his illicit activities.
The lawsuit against Bank of America alleges that the bank failed to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) despite numerous warnings. Epstein's victims say the bank's actions enabled his abuse and trafficking.
Bank of New York Mellon is accused of processing $378 million in payments to Epstein's victims through its line of credit to MC2, a modeling agency allegedly used to traffic victims. The bank has declined to comment on the allegations.
The lawsuits seek unspecified damages and are part of a larger investigation into Epstein's activities and the institutions that may have enabled him.
