More: The single largest suspicious activity report reviewed by the congressional team was filed in late 2019 by JPMorgan for $1.1 billion. The report covered 4,700 transactions dating to 2003, including payments to women from Belarus, Russia and Turkmenistan. Many of Mr. Epstein's victims included young women from Eastern European countries.
The next largest was by Deutsche Bank for about $400 million, followed by Bank of New York Mellon for $378 million and then Bank of America, which filed reports on Mr. Black's payments to Mr. Epstein.
In 2023, JPMorgan paid $290 million to Mr. Epstein's victims and Deutsche paid $75 million to settle lawsuits that claimed the banks ignored red flags about potential sex trafficking.
Marijke Chartouni, who was sexually abused by Mr. Epstein when she was 20, said the furor between Mr. Trump and his supporters had obscured the harm done to victims. Ms. Chartouni, who is now 45, also said law enforcement was to blame for not having more aggressively pursued Mr. Epstein and his network.
"Sadly, all this noise around the purported Epstein Files' serves only to detract from holding the Justice Department accountable to victims for its failure in preventing this trafficking atrocity," she said in an interview.
