From court filings and investigative reporting, several major banks are accused of ignoring blatant red flags in Epstein’s account activity that indicated potential money laundering, fraud, and sex-trafficking financing. For example, a complaint lodged against Deutsche Bank alleges that between 2013 and 2018 the bank provided Epstein and his related entities with financial infrastructure—opening dozens of accounts and enabling large cash flows—even while compliance officers flagged the activity as suspect. The complaint claims the bank “knowingly and intentionally benefitted financially … with knowledge, or in reckless disregard of the fact, that Epstein used means of force, threats of force, fraud, coercion, abuse of process … to cause young women and girls to engage in commercial sex acts.”


Meanwhile, other institutions such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America have been cited in lawsuits and regulatory letters for allegedly processing more than $1 billion in transactions linked to Epstein, failing to timely file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), and continuing business relationships with him well beyond his first conviction in 2008. In one case, the bank reportedly flagged 4,700 transactions tied to Epstein after his death in 2019 but only filed the SAR weeks later, which critics argue allowed his trafficking operation to expand unchecked.
