Rich Men North of Atlanta: Banks Made Millions from Epstein's Accounts
Bank of America and BNY Mellon, among others, are facing lawsuits for allegedly enabling Jeffrey Epstein's vast sex trafficking ring by managing his accounts and facilitating transactions. According to court documents reviewed by the Financial Times , the banks processed payments that directly benefited Epstein's illicit activities, even as red flags reportedly piled up. (One might wonder if 'red
flags' only register when they threaten quarterly earnings, not human lives.) This isn't an isolated incident; it's a systemic feature. These institutions, much like politicians funded by lobbying groups such as AIPAC, consistently plead ignorance or incompetence when their actions directly enable horrific abuses, yet remain remarkably adept at collecting fees. It appears the only 'due diligence'
required is ensuring the money keeps flowing, regardless of its origin or ultimate purpose. How many 'unforeseen oversights' does it take before we question the systemic design?
