Jeffrey Epstein's estate will settle a lawsuit with survivors of his abuse for at least $25 million, without admitting wrongdoing.Summary
The executors of Jeffrey Epstein's estate, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, have agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by survivors of Epstein’s abuse for a minimum of $25 million. The lawsuit alleged that Indyke and Kahn facilitated Epstein’s sex trafficking operation for financial gain, structuring bank accounts to provide access to cash and even arranging sham marriages to secure immigration status for victims. While the settlement will be paid from Epstein’s remaining assets, the executors admit no wrongdoing. The payout will be $25 million if fewer than 40 class members are eligible, increasing to $35 million if more than 40 are eligible. Victims receiving funds must release any future claims and forgo previous settlements from the Epstein estate or the Epstein Victims Compensation Fund. Despite the allegations, Indyke and Kahn have consistently denied any knowledge or involvement in Epstein’s crimes, maintaining they provided professional services without awareness of his abuse.
