Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has agreed to pay as much as $35m 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.

Boies Schiller Flexner, a law firm representing Epstein victims, announced the settlement in a brief filed in federal court in Manhattan on Thursday.

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 the late Epstein’s estate.

Epstein’s estate previously set up a restitution fund that paid out $121m to victims. The estate also paid out $49m in additional settlements to victims.

    Yeah no way the survivors should accept that paltry amount if they agree to forfeit all future claims. They should sue some other groups too, like the banks and financial institutions that worked with epstein, they knew what they were doing, they knew he was an intelligence asset and went along.

    There's 1,200 victims. 39m =29,000 each to shut up forever.

    I got 130k settlement to shut up for an attempted SA. 30k seems insulting.

    Exactly? And why can the Epstein estate buy itself out of criminal charges in the first place? Isn't heavy crime under ingerence of the court on US federal level? This isn't some misdemeanor, a fight between neighbors that's being settled out of court

    They should band together and sue Israel, and or any front groups, and companies complicit in epstein's operation. There are plenty of banks that were involved, I'm sure some israeli firms, to say nothing of Israel themselves although the feds would kaibosh that I'm sure.

    Kinda weird how these people got to live like royalty when they were with Epstein, didn't make it public what was happening to them or other underage girls, and now that they're adults they get even more money.

    Are you insinuating the victims are gold diggers? Cause that's a horribly fucked up thing to say. Go get raped and beaten and see how you like it!?!
