Deutsche Bank to pay $75 million to settle lawsuit from Epstein victims

LONDON (AP) — Deutsche Bank has agreed to pay $75 million to settle a lawsuit claiming that the German lender should have seen evidence of sex trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein when he was a client, according to lawyers for women who say they were abused by the late financier.

A woman only identified as Jane Doe sued the bank in federal district court in New York and sought class-action status to represent other victims of Epstein. The lawsuit asserted that the bank knowingly benefitted from Epstein’s sex trafficking and “chose profit over following the law” to earn millions of dollars from the businessman.

One of the law firms representing victims in the case, Edwards Pottinger, said it believed the sex-trafficking settlement is likely the largest with a bank in U.S. history.

“This groundbreaking settlement is the culmination of two law firms conducting more than a decade-long investigation to hold one of Epstein’s financial banking partners responsible for the role it played in facilitating his trafficking organization,” it said in a joint statement with the Boies Schiller Flexner law firm.

Deutsche Bank had previously joined JPMorgan Chase, which is also facing a lawsuit over its ties to Epstein, in fighting the allegations. Epstein killed himself in prison awaiting criminal charges.

Apparently all of these victims were wrong because all the evidence has not been released. We have as much information about this as we have about a den corruption and the settlements paid by congress for sexual harassment.

“Epstein killed himself in prison awaiting criminal charges.”

LOL.

‘Journalism’ is now reduced to who can keep the straightest face while lying (or while typing).

Scrubbed, like with a cloth.

Several years ago a Dutch banker shared his life story in some interviews that were shown on YouTube.

He discussed his work and involvement with the BIS - Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland. As he reached the top tiers of international banking, he was exposed to the Luciferian elite. His story is chilling to the bone. He also exposed the financial shenanigans at the highest levels of global finance.

So while institutions like Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan make headlines, I won’t hold my breath that the Luciferian criminals who inhabit the highest levels of global finance - and make Jeffrey Epstein look like a model citizen - will ever face repercussions or, god forbid, punishment.

They paid a pittance. I bet they’re laughing about it in the boardroom of the bank.

100x the fine would have been a conversation starter.
