JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank AG are facing lawsuits accusing them of enabling Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking, according to a ruling by a US District Judge in Manhattan.
The banks may face financial and reputational damage for continuing to work with Epstein, even after he registered as a sex offender.
The judge ordered JPMorgan to face a lawsuit by the US Virgin Islands for missing red flags about Epstein's abuse of women on his private island, Little Saint James.
