Knowingly
Two major banks are being sued by victims of the late financier, and convicted sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, accusing them of benefitting from his crimes.
The pair of separate lawsuits were filed on Thursday against JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. They allege that the banks “knowingly and intentionally benefited” from “assisting, supporting, facilitating, and otherwise providing the most critical service for the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking organization to successfully rape, sexually assault, and coercively sex traffic” women, Fox Business reported.
“We believe this claim lacks merit and will present our arguments in court,” a Deutsche Bank spokesperson said.
“JPMorgan said it will not comment on pending litigation,” Fox News said.
