Bank of America nears settlement in Epstein case, with allegations of overlooking suspicious transactions linked to Jeffrey Epsteins sex abuse crimes. The lawsuit claims the bank ignored red flags around $170 million wired by billionaire Leon Black to Epstein for tax and estate advice. The settlement was filed in Manhattan federal court, following a delayed deposition of Black, who was described as a key witness. The lawsuit was filed by a woman known as Jane Doe, who says Epstein abused her over 100 times. Victims attorney Sigrid McCawley called the settlement a vital step toward justice, while Senator Ron Wyden noted the banks willful ignorance of massive wire transfers. The suit alleges the bank helped structure finances that enabled Epsteins trafficking operation. Epstein died by suicide in jail in 2019 while facing charges, and recent Justice Department files highlight his contacts with powerful figures. Black left his CEO role at Apollo Global Management in 2021, after a review cleared him of any involvement in Epsteins crimes.
