EPSTEIN ESTATE AGREES TO PAY AT LEAST $25 MILLION TO SETTLE VICTIMS’ LAWSUIT. (PHOTO).



Epstein estate agrees to pay at least $25 million to settle victims’ lawsuit

The executors of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have agreed to resolve a class-action lawsuit brought by survivors of his sexual abuse, committing to pay at least $25 million while denying any wrongdoing. The agreement, reached Thursday, will be funded from the remaining assets of the estate rather than from the personal finances of the two men named in the suit, Darren Indyke, Epstein’s longtime attorney, and Richard Kahn, his accountant. Both were accused in the 2024 lawsuit of helping facilitate, participate in, and conceal Epstein’s illegal conduct for financial gain. Through their attorney, the co-executors have maintained that they have never been accused by any woman of committing or witnessing sexual abuse, nor of being informed directly about allegations against Epstein. They continue to reject claims that they played any knowing role in his crimes.

Under the terms of the settlement, eligible survivors must agree to release any future claims against the estate and must not have previously received compensation from the estate or the Epstein Victims Compensation Fund. The payout will total $25 million if fewer than 40 class members qualify, and $35 million if the number exceeds 40. The lawsuit alleged that Indyke and Kahn helped structure financial accounts that allowed Epstein to access large sums of cash to further his sex trafficking operation and that they were deeply involved in organizing and directing key aspects of his enterprise. The complaint also claimed they coerced at least three victims into sham marriages to secure immigration status so the women could remain in the United States and continue to be exploited. Indyke and Kahn have denied those allegations, insisting they did not socialize with Epstein and were unaware of his criminal conduct while providing professional services. Epstein revised his will just two days before his death by suicide in 2019, a move that later drew scrutiny as legal battles over his estate unfolded.
