Epstein Estate Executors Offer Up to $35 Million in Conditional Payout to Resolve Victim Suits
The proposal now awaits a Manhattan federal judge’s approval following the Justice Department’s release of extensive Epstein case materials.
Overview
- The executors, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, filed the proposal in Manhattan federal court on February 19.
- The plan would pay $35 million if 40 or more claimants are deemed eligible, or $25 million if fewer qualify.
- Payments would cover people who say Epstein sexually assaulted, abused or trafficked them between January 1, 1995 and August 10, 2019.
- The filing seeks to end a 2024 lawsuit alleging the executors facilitated Epstein’s illegal activities, disclaims any admission of liability, and asks the court to curb future related claims.
- Victims’ counsel at Boies Schiller Flexner has not disclosed participation numbers, while Bloomberg reports at least 40 unresolved claimants remain.
