JPMorgan settles with Epstein victims after accuser’s lawyers sought new Dimon testimony

JPMorgan Chase said Monday it has tentatively agreed to settle claims by victims of the sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

Terms of the settlement in U.S. District Court in Manhattan were not disclosed in the announcement, which came just hours before a judge ruled that the case can proceed as a class-action lawsuit.

“The parties in Jane Doe 1 v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. have informed the Court that they have reached an agreement in principle to settle the putative class action lawsuit related to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, which is subject to court approval,” the bank said in a news release.
