Bank of America Moves to Settle Epstein Victims Lawsuit (3/18/26)

Bank of America reached a proposed, non-binding settlement in a lawsuit that accused the bank of helping facilitate Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation by providing financial services and legitimacy while allegedly ignoring suspicious transactions. The case, filed as a proposed class action in October 2025, claimed the bank failed to flag red flags tied to Epstein’s finances, effectively allowing his activities to continue unchecked.

The settlement terms have not been disclosed and must still be approved by a federal judge, with a hearing scheduled for early April. If finalized, the agreement would likely cancel upcoming legal proceedings, including a planned deposition of financier Leon Black, whose financial dealings with Epstein were central to the case. Bank of America declined to comment, while an attorney for the victims described the proposed deal as a step toward accountability and justice.
