Bank of America has reached a settlement “in principle” in a class action lawsuit brought on by Epstein accusers. The lawsuit alleged that “throughout its relationship with Epstein, Bank of America violated numerous banking laws and regulations in order to conceal and continue its lucrative venture facilitating the Epstein sexual abuse and sex-trafficking scheme." In a November 2025 filing, Bank of America said the lawsuit was based on nothing more than accusations that “it provided routine services to customers who at the time had no known connection to Epstein’s sex trafficking.” This case is the latest in a string of lawsuits against financial institutions brought on by Epstein accusers. A hearing to consider the proposed settlement will take place at the beginning of April. Criminal defense attorney Jo-Anna Nieves joins “Forbes True Crime” to break down the lawsuit and tentative settlement. Follow us HERE Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
