The suit filed in Manhattan is part of an effort to hold accountable those who greased wheels for Epstein

Attorney-general Denise George said her suit, which was filed on Tuesday in the Manhattan federal court, was part of an “ongoing effort” to hold accountable those who facilitated Epstein’s activities. Epstein brought many of his victims to his villa on Little St James, his private island. George’s suit makes similar claims to proposed class actions filed last month by Epstein victims against JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank. A JPMorgan spokesperson declined to comment on that suit, while a Deutsche Bank spokesperson said the case “lacks merit”.
George said in her suit that her office conducted an investigation into Epstein’s activities and presented the findings to JPMorgan in September. According to the complaint, the Virgin Islands’ probe found that the bank “pulled the levers through which recruiters and victims were paid” and was indispensable to the operation of Epstein’s trafficking enterprise.
