The one bank that stood up to Epstein over suspicious activity' before his arrest
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"In 2007, an HSBC branch in Paris notified Epstein that it was ending its business relationship after evidence of money laundering and other misconduct came to light, according to Bloomberg. It's notable as it's the sole known instance of a major financial institution cutting ties with the disgraced financier prior to 2008, when he pled guilty to procuring minors for prostitution in Florida."
"The previously unreported termination comes as public scrutiny into Epstein who died in 2019 while awaiting trial escalates to new heights. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, requiring the Department of Justice to release its files on the late sex offender. He also instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein's involvement with former President Bill Clinton and other prominent individuals."
Coverage spans reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while maintaining free access and seeking donations to fund on-the-ground reporting. Investigations include the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and the documentary 'The A Word', which centers on American women fighting for reproductive rights. A major bank, HSBC, reportedly ended its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in 2007 after detecting suspicious activity and potential money laundering. That termination is the only known instance of a major bank cutting ties before Epstein's 2008 guilty plea. Legislative and executive actions now demand release of DOJ files and further probes into Epstein's connections.
