JPMorgan to Pay $290 Million to Settle Epstein Victims Suit

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is prepared to pay $290 million to settle a lawsuit alleging it knowingly benefited from former client Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The firm reached an “agreement in principle” to settle the proposed class action filed by an unnamed Epstein victim late last year, JPMorgan said in a statement Monday.

“We all now understand that Epstein’s behavior was monstrous, and we believe this settlement is in the best interest of all parties, especially the survivors, who suffered unimaginable abuse at the hands of this man,” the New York-based bank said. “Any association with him was a mistake and we regret it. We would never have continued to do business with him if we believed he was using our bank in any way to help commit heinous crimes.”

The bank makes no admission of liability in connection with the settlement, according to the person, who asked not to be named discussing the matter because it is private.
