For Enabling Epstein Bank of America Counts 1 and 4 Survive in SDNY Enabling & Beneficiary


By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell book

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 29 – J.P. Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank were sued for their enabling of Jeffrey Epstein, in lawsuits filed on Thanksgiving 2022 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Inner City Press found them in the docket.

   The JPM Chase complaint is on Patreon, here.

Maximum Maxwell book here.

   On October 15, 2025, amid a push in Congress to fully release the so-called Epstein files, a lawsuit was filed in SDNY against Bank of America, 1:25-cv-8520 (Rakoff)

Jones Day stepped in for Bank of America on its Epstein issues - which have been raised to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency by Fair Finance Watch.

  On January 29 Judge Jed S. Rakoff while dismissing some counts against BofA allowed to go forward count 1 ("Knowing Beneficiary in a Sex-Trafficking Venture in Violation of 18 USC 1591(a)(2), 1595") and count 4 ("Obstruction of the Enforcement of the TVPA, 18 USC 1591(d)" - and still the OCC (and UN) do nothing.

  The B of A case is Doe v. Bank of America, 1:25-cv-8520 (Rakoff)

Meanwhile, the UN has yet to answer Inner City Press on why SG Antonio Guterres maintained a rep on the board of Ghislaine Maxwell's Terramar Project (instead bannign the Press); Norway won't answer on its AMbasador Mona Juul and Terje Roed Larsen taking $130,000 personal loan from Epstein.

The JPMC case is Doe 1 v. JP Morgan Chase & Co., 22-cv-10019 (Rakoff)
