3. Except Epstein died before he could be convicted of sex trafficking

The conviction in Florida, on paper, was for like unlawful solicitation of a single minor iirc, for which he was sentenced to like 2 years or something.

Banks aren't legally obligated to stop doing business with someone for something like that.

I've also never seen serious accusations that his trafficking was a 'business' that was charging people money that would've been flowing in/out of their bank.

And you might say, well, Maxwell was convicted of trafficking ... but that was for trafficking a minor she'd recruited ... to Epstein himself. While he was paying her salary.

If VI can prove their case and they win, I'll be happy about it, to be clear. I'm only bringing this up because I doubt they will, JP have a lot of angles from which to defend themselves, and they no doubt will have top-notch lawyers to fight it.
