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.

    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!?!

      No. It’s important that we always side with the victims no matter what.

      It’s impossible for any of them to have self-serving motives.
