New Mexico’s Department of Justice has filed a federal lawsuit accusing Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime personal attorney and accountant of helping keep his sex trafficking operation running, KOB 4 reported Wednesday, according to “Anadolu Agency”.
The complaint alleges that attorney Darren K. Indyke and accountant Richard D. Kahn “knowingly” used their positions, along with the accounts and companies of the late convicted sex offender, to “finance and conceal the abuse” of girls and women at Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County.
Under the terms of Epstein’s estate, Indyke is set to receive $50 million and Kahn $25 million. The estate is worth more than $107 million, according to the report. Indyke has allegedly already been paid more than $16 million, while Kahn has received more than $10 million. New Mexico is asking the court to bar further payments while the case is ongoing.
The lawsuit also seeks a finding that the men engaged in racketeering and trafficking in violation of state and federal law. It asks for orders requiring them to divest from Epstein-related interests and restricting some future investments.
“Jeffrey Epstein did not operate alone and his death does not end the pursuit of accountability for the people who helped make his crimes possible,” New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez said in a statement to KOB 4.
Two Epstein survivors, Julia Molchanova and Anouska De Georgiou, joined Torrez in announcing the lawsuit.
Epstein was found dead in his New York City jail cell on Aug. 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on charges of sexually abusing and trafficking underage girls.
Released case files named prominent figures, including Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and former British Prince Andrew. Being named in the files does not establish wrongdoing.
