Deutsche Bank has agreed to pay $75 million to a fund benefiting victims of child sex trafficker and friend of Donald’s Jeffrey Epstein for the bank’s role in enabling Epstein’s operation if a federal judge approves the deal, the New York Times reports. The settlement–roughly 9.5% of the amount Fox Corp. paid Dominion Voting Systems–will be made available to around 125 women who had previous settlements with Epstein’s estate.
Deutsche Bank was a favorite financial institution for then-(and should’ve stayed) real estate magnate Donald Trump before he entered politics, loaning the future twice-impeached president hundreds of millions of dollars before announcing in January 2021 it was cutting ties with his company–because the Trump-instigated, Republican-led domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol was too much for even the company that loaned the Nazis the money to build Auschwitz.
