JPMorgan Chase Reaches $290M Settlement Over Jeffrey Epstein Ties, But States Object to Terms
-
JPMorgan Chase reaches $290 million settlement with Jeffrey Epstein's accusers, but draws objection from 16 US states and Washington, D.C.
-
States say settlement language prevents them from seeking damages for sex trafficking victims under federal law.
-
Settlement resolves claims that JPMorgan turned blind eye to Epstein's sex trafficking from 1998-2013.
-
Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges.
-
Judge ordered JPMorgan and accusers to address states' objection by November 6.
