I wonder if the settlement includes confidentiality agreements preventing the victims from naming names.

You can be quite sure that it does

Then they should have asked for more.

Congress can make a law invalidating NDAs from Epstein settlements. They could at least.

I'm sure the agreement was "72 mil, keep your trap shut and we won't murder you and your family. Probably."

I thought an NDA covering up a crime is not a valid NDA.

$72.5 million and we don’t even have the unredacted names let alone a guilty verdict.

There wouldn't be a guilty verdict regardless - there's no active case and Trump's DoJ certainly won't start one.

$72mm is a rounding error for them. Unbelievably small settlement. Good for the victims bad for truth.

I'm case you were wondering why, like me: >Rakoff ruled in January that Bank of America must face Doe's claims that it knowingly benefited from Epstein's sex trafficking and obstructed ⁠enforcement of the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act. In agreeing to settle the civil lawsuit in March, Bank of America said it did not facilitate sex trafficking crimes. It said the resolution would allow it to move on and provide closure for the accusers. Furthermore: >Doe's lawyers have also sued other alleged enablers ⁠of Epstein's sex trafficking, and in 2023 reached settlements of $290 million with JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), opens new tab and $75 million with Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE), opens new tab on behalf of his accusers.

How many survivors does this cover? I'm hitting a paywall.

As usual, when the penalty is a fine, it's just a business expense.

I can’t say I understand this. I’ve been banking for decades and never have been asked to discuss my sex life. I don’t think banks pay out millions for no reason. Just saying I don’t understand the reasoning.

1) It's not enough 2) There's no criminal consequences for those who willingly continued doing business

Funny how creditors sensor p*** but.., wait

Good for them. Even if justice can’t be achieved with criminal charges, this gives me hope that we can at least claw some of the money back.

The money is a bribe so they don't talk.

You might be right :/ I didn’t even think about it that way at first.

So how is the president going to get hold of this money for his family?

It's not nearly enough, and even if it were it doesn't fix the systemic evil that gave rise to what happened.
