A federal judge has approved a settlement awarding $290 million to Jeffrey Epstein’s victims of sexual abuse.

It will be paid by JPMorgan Chase, following claims that the bank, which did business with the financier, repeatedly ignored warnings about Epstein’s abuse of underage girls and young women.  

“The settlement closes an important chapter in the Epstein saga centering on the role of big banks in enabling his conduct to continue for nearly two decades,” wrote Matthew Goldstein for the New York Times.
