1Opinion of the Court
GRUENDER, Circuit Judge.
Geoffrey Varga, in his capacity as the official liquidator of Palm Beach Offshore, Ltd. and Palm Beach Offshore II, Ltd. (collectively, “the Palm Beach Funds”), sued U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) for aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty, willful and wanton negligence, and gross negligence. These claims arose from the Palm Beach Funds’ investment through accounts maintained at U.S. Bank in what turned out to be a Ponzi scheme. The district court 1 granted U.S. Bank’s motion to dismiss Varga’s amended complaint. Varga appeals, and we affirm.
