Epstein estate agrees to $35 million settlement

Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has agreed to pay as much ​as $35 million to resolve a class action lawsuit that accused two of the disgraced financier’s advisers ​of aiding and abetting his sex trafficking of young ​women and teenage girls, according ⁠to a court filing on Thursday. Boies Schiller Flexner, a law firm representing ​Epstein victims, announced the settlement ‌in a brief filed in federal court in Manhattan. The deal, if approved by a judge, would bring ​an end to a 2024 lawsuit filed against Epstein’s former personal lawyer Darren Indyke and former accountant Richard Kahn, who are co-executors of Epstein’s estate. Epstein’s ‌estate ‌previously set up a ​restitution fund that paid out $121 million to victims. The estate also paid out $49 million in additional settlements to victims. Neither Indyke nor Kahn “made any admission or concession of misconduct” as ​part of the settlement made public on Thursday, their lawyer Daniel H. Weiner said in an emailed statement.
