India Faces 24.7% GDP Loss By 2070: ADB Report

Deutsche&nbsp;Bank&nbsp;AG has agreed to&nbsp;pay&nbsp;$75&nbsp;million&nbsp;to&nbsp;settle&nbsp;a&nbsp;lawsuit&nbsp;by women who say they were abused by the late financier Jeffrey&nbsp;Epstein and accused the German&nbsp;bank&nbsp;of facilitating his sex trafficking.

The accord resolves claims in a proposed class action in Manhattan federal court by&nbsp;Epstein's&nbsp;accusers and was confirmed by their lawyers late on Wednesday. Court approval is required.

Epstein&nbsp;had been a&nbsp;Deutsche&nbsp;Bank&nbsp;client from 2013 to 2018. He died in August 2019 in jail while awaiting trial for sex trafficking, in what New York City's medical examiner called a suicide.

The Wall Street Journal reported the&nbsp;settlement earlier and said the&nbsp;bank&nbsp;did not admit wrongdoing, citing people familiar with the matter.

Deutsche&nbsp;Bank&nbsp;spokesman Dylan Riddle declined to discuss the accord but referred to a 2020 statement in which the&nbsp;bank&nbsp;acknowledged an error in making&nbsp;Epstein&nbsp;a client.

He also said&nbsp;Deutsche&nbsp;Bank&nbsp;has invested more than 4 billion euros to bolster its controls, processes and training, and hired more people to fight financial crime.

David Boies, one of the&nbsp;accusers' lawyers, said in a statement that&nbsp;Epstein's abuses "could not have happened without the collaboration and support of many powerful individuals and institutions. We appreciate&nbsp;Deutsche&nbsp;Bank's willingness to take responsibility for its role."

The law firms Boies Schiller Flexner and Edwards Pottinger represent&nbsp;Epstein's&nbsp;accusers. A trial had been scheduled for Sept. 5.

JPMORGAN IMPACT

It wasn't immediately clear how the&nbsp;settlement might affect JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co, which faces similar but larger&nbsp;lawsuits by&nbsp;Epstein's&nbsp;accusers&nbsp;and by the US&nbsp;Virgin Islands, where the financier had a home.

Epstein&nbsp;was a JPMorgan client from 1998 to 2013, a period when he allegedly trafficked many more women and girls. Court papers have outlined many details about the&nbsp;bank's alleged ignoring or turning a blind eye to&nbsp;Epstein's activities.

JPMorgan did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside business hours.

It is separately suing Jes Staley, a former private&nbsp;banking chief who had been friendly with&nbsp;Epstein, to help cover its losses in the two&nbsp;lawsuits it faces.

Staley is also a former Barclays Plc chief executive. Tesla Inc's Elon Musk is among those who have been subpoenaed in the JPMorgan litigation.

The&nbsp;Deutsche&nbsp;Bank&nbsp;case was led by an unidentified plaintiff, known as Jane Doe 1, who said&nbsp;Epstein&nbsp;sexually abused her from 2003 to 2018.

A different Jane Doe 1, a former ballet dancer who said&nbsp;Epstein&nbsp;trafficked her from 2006 to 2013, is leading the&nbsp;accusers' case against JPMorgan.

Last September,&nbsp;Deutsche&nbsp;Bank&nbsp;agreed to&nbsp;pay&nbsp;$26.25&nbsp;million&nbsp;to&nbsp;settle&nbsp;a US&nbsp;shareholder&nbsp;lawsuit&nbsp;accusing the&nbsp;bank&nbsp;of lax oversight while doing business with risky, ultra-rich clients like&nbsp;Epstein.

&nbsp;

The case is Jane Doe 1 v&nbsp;Deutsche&nbsp;Bank&nbsp;AG et al, US&nbsp;District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 22-10018.
