Deutsche Bank to pay $75 million to Jeffrey Epstein victims to settle lawsuit
NBCAUG 2023
Years after his death, more and more information about this international sex trafficker and his reach continues to trickle into the public domain. From his sway over the powerful, to the unseen level of discretion granted to him by authorities and banks, conspiracy theories about Epstein are quickly turning into conspiracy facts, as everyone from Musk to the director of the CIA seems to be being unveiled as part of his web of influence. Deutsche Bank would rather part with $75M than have their dirty laundry aired in court.
Let us dispense with the conspiracies and focus on avenues to provide justice for his victims. Epstein was responsible for many heinous crimes, but they are overshadowed by conspiracy fanatics who have abandoned the evidence. This lawsuit never alleged that Deutsche Bank was involved with sex trafficking, and raising that unsubstantiated claim obfuscates proper investigation with the distracting suggestion that Epstein was involved in some global web of secrets. We need to focus less on fiction and more on helping Epstein's victims receive some compensation for what they have suffered.
