Raskin Demands Bank Records in Epstein Probe, Pursuing $1.5 Billion in Suspicious Transactions
Ranking Member Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four major banks demanding records concerning over $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring. The letters were addressed to the CEOs of Bank of America, Bank of New York Mellon, Deutsche Bank, and JPMorgan Chase, seeking clarification on how Epstein and his associates utilized these banks to facilitate their criminal activities. The congressman pointed out the banks’ potential failure to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act by not filing timely Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). Furthermore, the letters outlined specific requests for documents and information, with a deadline of October 22, to aid the committee’s investigation into Epstein’s financial dealings.
