In the earlier lawsuits, JPMorgan Chase, which provided banking services to Mr. Epstein for roughly 15 years,
agreed to pay $290 million, and Deutsche Bank, which managed Mr. Epstein’s accounts for about five years,
agreed to pay $75 million.
The years when JPMorgan provided services to Mr. Epstein, roughly 1998 to 2013, coincided with the period when, prosecutors have said, he sexually abused dozens of teenage girls, many of them minors, as well as women in their early 20s.
Most of Bank of America’s involvement with Mr. Epstein began after JPMorgan stopped doing business with him. By that time, his main victims were young women — many of them would-be models — from Russia and Ukraine.
The lead plaintiff in the Bank of America lawsuit, an unidentified woman, came to the United States from Russia in 2011 when she was about 20. The lawsuit said Mr. Epstein had sexually abused her at least 100 times and coerced her into a “cultlike life,” in which she was totally dependent on him.
