A woman, filing under the pseudonym Jane Doe, has sued Bank of America and Bank of New York Mellon in Manhattan federal court, accusing them of playing a financial role in enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. She alleges that Epstein and his associates used her Bank of America account—opened at the direction of Epstein’s accountant—as a conduit for rent payments, payroll for a “sham company,” and other transfers. The complaint claims the banks ignored obvious red flags, failed to file required Suspicious Activity Reports in a timely fashion, and thereby breached their duty to report illicit financial flows.


In the case against BNY Mellon, the lawsuit claims the bank processed as much as $378 million in transactions linked to a modeling agency (MC2) allegedly used by Epstein and his associates in trafficking operations. The complaint contends that BNY Mellon either turned a blind eye to or actively facilitated these flows, benefiting from them financially while violating anti-trafficking and anti–money laundering norms. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages and class-action status, arguing that the banks “knowingly benefited” from Epstein’s scheme and should be held accountable.
