Federal Judge Approves $290 Million JPMorgan Chase Settlement with Jeffrey Epstein Victims

A federal judge has approved JPMorgan Chase’s settlement of a class action lawsuit in which the nation’s largest bank will pay $290 million to the victims of disgraced financier and convicted sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein.

JPMorgan, which was sued for ignoring warning signs about Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation while he was a client, will pay nearly 200 of Epstein’s victims, according to a legal filing obtained by the New York Times.

Epstein bought Little St. James Island more than two decades ago and built a stone mansion with cream-colored walls on one end of it. Surrounding it are several other structures including the maids’ quarters and the huge, square-shaped, blue-striped building on the other end of the island that workers told each other was a music room fitted with a grand piano and acoustic walls.

While a preliminary settlement was reached in June, Judge Jed Rakoff gave final approval on Thursday, after holding an afternoon hearing to determine the fairness of the settlement to Epstein’s victims.

Attorneys general from 16 states and Washington DC reportedly raised concerns about some of the language in the settlement, saying a broad release given to JPMorgan could prevent other states from bringing their own sex-trafficking claims under a federal law that allows state governments to file civil lawsuits on behalf of sexual-abuse victims.

But Judge Rakoff said that was a hypothetical issue, and that he found no problems with the settlement language, adding, “This case sent a message through this very substantial settlement that banking institutions have a responsibility.”

The settlement between JPMorgan and Epstein’s victims resolves a class action lawsuit filed on the behalf of more than 40 women last year by an unnamed victim known as “Jane Doe 1.”

The unnamed victim claimed that for years JPMorgan ignored red flags pointing to Epstein’s sexual abuse of women and children. After servicing the financier for 15 years, the bank severed ties with Epstein in 2013 — five years after he was convicted of procuring a child for prostitution.

The lawsuit was one of two civil suits derived from JPMorgan’s relationship with Epstein.

In September, the bank agreed to pay a $75 million settlement to the U.S. Virgin Islands over claims that it did nothing to prevent sex-trafficking operated by Epstein on his private island.
