The Epstein story does not end......

"The co-executors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have agreed to pay up to $35 million to settle a lawsuit accusing them of aiding his alleged sex trafficking operation for nearly two decades.

The agreement, made public on Thursday in Manhattan federal court and pending approval by a judge, would settle a lawsuit filed in February 2024 against Epstein’s lawyer Darren Indyke and his accountant Richard Kahn. The disgraced financier signed a will, which named Kahn and Indyke as co-executors of his estate, two days before he died in 2019 in a New York jail while awaiting trial.

Daniel H. Weiner, Indyke and Kahn’s lawyer told Reuters in a statement that neither defendant “made any admission or concession of misconduct” as part of the settlement. The Hill has reached out to Weiner but he did not immediately return a request for comment.

“The Co-Executors maintain that they have meritorious defenses to the claims alleged in the Litigation and are entering into this Settlement Agreement to provide relief to those victims of Epstein’s sexual abuse, assault, and trafficking … and further to bring finality to any and all claims against the Estate,” the court filing reads.

In the initial class action lawsuit, victims of Epstein accused Indyke and Kahn of organizing “the complex financial infrastructure” that allowed Epstein to pay victims and recruiters in exchange for silence and leave himself and his associates “richly compensated.”

The original complaint also accused Epstein’s former lawyer and accountant of facilitating “arranged and forced sham marriages” to get at least three of Epstein’s victims immigration status “so that they could continue to be available to Epstein for his abuse,” the documents show.

The victims will have to agree to drop any future claims and cannot have received prior settlements from the Epstein estate or the Epstein Victims Compensation Fund in order to be eligible for payment.

The latest deal, which could include payments from $25 million to $35 million depending on how many women are eligible, will be paid for by the estate’s remaining fortune, according to the settlement."
