David Boies is the lead attorney for plaintiffs and worked with the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre before she committed suicide from the PTSD caused by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The $72.5m settlement, which a federal judge has to approve, is the fourth settlement by a bank of claims by Jeffrey Epstein victims or a government entity alleging they abetted his trafficking while Epstein was a customer.

In 2023, JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay Epstein victims $290m and separately to pay the US Virgin Islands $75m. Deutsche Bank, that same year, agreed to pay victims $75m.

In Aug 2019, Epstein somehow miraculously killed himself in near impossible conditions in a secure federal correctional center in Manhattan just weeks after his arrest on federal child sex trafficking charges and before he could threaten to drop names in exchange for a lenient plea agreement.
