This particular lawsuit wasn't against the late sex offender Epstein.
It was actually against the bank he used.
The plaintiffs argue the Bank of America ignored suspicious financial transactions involving Epstein while he was abusing girls and women between 2008 and his arrest in 2019.
The bank did reach a $72.5 million settlement on this issue.
Lawyers for the victims believe some 60 to 75 women may be eligible for payouts.
The bank in a statement says in part that Bank of America did not facilitate sex trafficking crimes.
A final approval hearing on this settlement is set for August 27th.
