“Indyke and Kahn,” the lawsuit continues, “also performed the Enterprise’s financial functions. They arranged payments to survivors to purchase their silence and leave them indebted to Epstein, handled costs for expenses connected to the abuse, monitored survivors’ spending, and prepared tax returns for some survivors.”
New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez has filed a lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein’s former attorney and accountant, claiming that the two worked together to disguise sex trafficking operations at the deceased billionaire’s Santa Fe-area ranch.
According to PBS, the lawsuit asks the court to prevent attorney Darren Indyke and attorney Richard Kahn from continuing to accept payments from the Epstein estate. The total amount received between the two men, to date, is believed to be about $100 million.
Indyke, notes PBS, worked as Epstein’s lawyer for an estimated 20 years. Both he and Kahn have previously testified to Congress that they were not aware of Epstein’s crimes, though Torrez now claims otherwise.
“None of this could be done by just one man,” Torrez said. “This was something that was facilitated, that was made possible by handlers, by lawyers, by accountants, by others who have yet to face real consequences.”
“Publicly available materials suggest there was no legitimate source for Epstein’s income and wealth, and that his wealth over time was amassed through a series of fraud, lies, and schemes—a fac that would have been known to Indyke and Kahn and would have further confirmed that the Epstein Enterprise’s purpose, activities, and revenue were tried to sax-trafficking,” the lawsuit alleges.
“Indyke and Kahn,” the lawsuit continues, “also performed the Enterprise’s financial functions. They arranged payments to survivors to purchase their silence and leave them indebted to Epstein, handled costs for expenses connected to the abuse, monitored survivors’ spending, and prepared tax returns for some survivors.”
Now, Torrez said, both Kahn and Indyke “stand to benefit substantially” from Epstein’s estate unless the court decides to intervene.
“These resources rightfully belong in the hands of survivors,” the attorney general said, referring to the women and girls trafficked by Epstein and his associated.
