Bank of America decided to toss $72.5 million (think: Hollywood yacht party budget) to settle a Manhattan federal court case accusing them of cozying up to Jeffrey Epsteinâs sordid sex trafficking empire from June 30, 2008 to July 6, 2019. This blockbuster payout awaits Judge Jed Rakoffâs magic gavel by April 2, following a deadline on March 27. The bank claims they didnât knowingly fuel the trafficking machine while victimsâat least 60 women, no lessâawait closure. Meanwhile, JPMorgan is throwing a $290 million pity party, Deutsche Bank chipped in $75 million, and Epstein, the original Sin City VIP, was found dead in his Manhattan cell on August 10, 2019.
