BofA and Epstein

NEW YORK — A victim of Jeffrey Epstein may pursue some of her claims in her lawsuit accusing Bank of America of deliberately ignoring multiple red flags of criminality in Epstein’s financial transactions and benefiting from his sex trafficking operation. The victim sufficiently alleges that the bank provided non-routine services that helped Epstein, including facilitating suspicious account transfers and failing to timely file required Suspicious Activity Reports. The victim’s claims for participation and obstruction under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act move forward.
