A trio of lawsuits filed against two banks connected with Jeffrey Epstein can move forward, a federal judge ruled on Monday.
The suits allege that JP Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank knew that Epstein maintained a network of underage girls for sexual abuse, and actively enabled him to continue his crimes. The plaintiffs say that the banks should be held fiscally liable for the damage to victims.
Two of the suits — one against JP Morgan Chase and the other against Deutsche Bank — were brought by at least one of those girls, an anonymous plaintiff who filed on behalf of "all others similarly situated."
A third suit was filed by the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands against JP Morgan Chase.
