NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Victims of disgraced financier Jeffery Epstein sued Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan Chase alleging the institutions have played an integral role in enabling the late pedophiles' sexual trafficking campaign. The two lawsuits filed in New York on Thursday, November 24, claim the megabanks overlooked several “suspicious” withdrawals and payments from Epstein’s bank accounts to pay his victims. They are accused of ignoring "red flags" and "profiting" off his debunked racket.

“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. Billionaire Epstein took his own life in a New York prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.
