Bonus Episode: Forbes True Crime Bank of America has reached a settlement “in principle” in a class action lawsuit brought on by Epstein accusers. The lawsuit alleged that “throughout its relationship with Epstein, Bank of America violated numerous banking laws and regulations in order to conceal and continue its lucrative venture facilitating the Epstein sexual abuse and sex-trafficking scheme." In a November 2025 filing, Bank of America said the lawsuit was based on nothing more than accusations that “it provided routine services to customers who at the time had no known connection to Epstein's sex trafficking.” This case is the latest in a string of lawsuits against financial institutions brought on by Epstein accusers. A hearing to consider the proposed settlement will take place at the beginning of April.

Right before morning rush hour in midtown Manhattan on December 4th, 2024, UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed while on his way into an investors meeting. According to police, the suspected gunman was, “lying in wait for several minutes,” and then fled the scene following the attack. A nationwide manhunt ensued, and days later, Luigi Mangione was arrested at a Pennsylvania McDonald's and charged with Thompon's killing. Since he was accused of gunning down the healthcare CEO in broad daylight, Mangione has become a surprising cultural phenomenon. While most find the crimes Mangione has been accused of horrific, he has been branded as a modern-day Robin Hood by some who see the shooting as a stand against a corrupt and broken health care system. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him. John H.
