Citibank
Litigation 2003
Financial Trust Company
In 2003, a lawsuit arose between Financial Trust Company, Inc. and Jeffrey Epstein against Citibank, N.A. and Citigroup Inc. took action.
Epstein and his company Financial Trust Company (FTC) had banking relationships with Citibank.
Citibank ended this business relationship.
Epstein and the FTC then sued the bank.
The plaintiffs essentially alleged:
Citibank terminated accounts and business relationships unlawfully or without sufficient justification.
This caused business damage. In some cases it was argued that the termination was damaging to our reputation.
Citibank argued accordingly:
A bank generally has the right to terminate business relationships (if contractually possible).
Banks are obliged to assess risks (reputational, compliance, money laundering risks) independently.
The decision was made as part of internal risk assessments.
