First BanCorp Sued Over Alleged Epstein Ties After U.S. Virgin Islands Acquisition First BanCorp disclosed that it has been named in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging claims tied to banking services provided to Jeffrey Epstein after a bank acquisition in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The company and its FirstBank unit categorically deny the allegations and plan to contest them.
The company highlighted its existing compliance framework for Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering obligations, indicating that the case could involve regulatory expectations, future oversight, and broader reputational considerations for First BanCorp.
First BanCorp’s stock last traded at $26.36, with the share price up 26.1% year to date.
The core question for investors is how far this legal action might extend in terms of costs, management attention, and regulatory interaction, given the high-profile nature of the Epstein connection and the sensitivity around BSA/AML controls. Tillkännagivande • Jun 22
