Deutsche Bank And The Attempt To Get The Epstein Survivor Suit Tossed Out (10/18/25)

In its motion to dismiss the Epstein-related survivor lawsuit, Deutsche Bank argues that the complaint fails to allege sufficient facts to show the bank acted in concert with, or benefited from, Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking. The bank says it provided only “routine banking services” during the period of Epstein’s account use (2013 to 2018), and insists the plaintiffs do not adequately plead that Deutsche Bank had a duty to protect victims or caused their harm. Moreover, Deutsche contends that many of the legal claims (including under New York’s Adult Survivors Act and federal anti-trafficking statutes) are improperly framed against the bank, which it says is not the correct defendant. Deutsche also challenges the notion that it reaped any illicit profits from Epstein’s crimes, asserting the complaint lacks detail on how the bank specifically benefitted from trafficking activity. The bank argues that the allegations are largely speculative and legalistic rather than factual, and thus the court should dismiss the case before the parties incur burdens of discovery. to contact me: [email protected]
