The lawsuit against Epstein’s former personal attorney Darren Indyke and former accountant Richard Kahn, who are co-trustees of the financier’s estate, was filed in 2024. The agreement between the two parties must now be approved by a judge, Reuters reports.
Specifically, Indyke and Kahn faced charges that they helped Epstein set up a complex web of companies and bank accounts that allowed him to cover up his crimes and pay off victims and recruiters. They themselves were to be “richly rewarded” for this service.
According to the lawyer of both men, Daniel H. Weiner, Indyke and Kahn did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the agreement. “Because they did nothing wrong, the co-trustees were prepared to defend these claims against them in court. However, they agreed to plead and settle this lawsuit to end the lawsuits against Epstein’s estate,” Weiner said in a statement.
