HSBC and Barclays are facing a $12bn lawsuit linked to a Jersey trust associated with the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. The claim, filed by Tanya Dick-Stock and Darrin Stock in Colorado, alleges breach of trust and dishonest assistance regarding improper asset transfers via La Hougue. The lawsuit claims La Hougue engaged in extensive fraud, including fake loans and backdated documents. HSBC reportedly provided “dishonest assistance” related to La Hougue’s operations in Panama.
