The estate of the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will devote as much as $35 million to settling a putative class action lawsuit that accused his personal lawyer and accountant of aiding and abetting his sex trafficking, according to court papers. The terms of the proposed settlement were made public in a motion from plaintiffs lawyers at Boies Schiller Flexner filed on Thursday. The submission asked a judge to certify a proposed settlement class, preliminarily approve the settlement and approve the notice plan. The case is before U.S. District Court Judge Arun Subramanian of the Southern District of New York. If approved, the deal will resolve all outstanding claims filed by the class against Epstein co-executors Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn. Indyke was Epstein’s personal attorney and Kahn was his accountant. Epstein died in 2019 behind bars while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. His death was ruled a suicide. The settlement would include $35 million for a class of 40 members and $25 million for a class of less than 40 members. Putative class members include women who experienced sexual abuse, sexual assault or sex trafficking by Epstein between 1995 to his death, in August 2019, and have not otherwise resolved their claims against the estate. Neutral mediation of the matter was conducted by Simone Lelchuk, who would be retained to administer the settlement payments, per the proposal. Neither Indyke nor Kahn has made any “admission or concession of misconduct,” their attorney Daniel H. Weiner of Hughes Hubbard & Reed said in an emailed statement. “Not a single woman has ever accused either man of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse, nor claimed at any time that she reported to them any allegation of Mr. Epstein’s abuse,” Weiner wrote. “Because they did nothing wrong, the co-executors were prepared to fight the claims against them through to trial, but agreed to mediate and settle this lawsuit in order to achieve finality as to any potential claims against the Epstein Estate,” he added. The 2024 lawsuit alleged both Indyke and Kahn knew about Epstein’s actions and were negligent in failing to prevent further harm to his victims. BSF also asked the court to certify the firm as class counsel. They will seek attorneys fees of no more than 30% the global settlement, plus litigation and expenses amounting to $1 million or less, per the filing. Under the terms of the agreement, any funds that may remain following settlement payments and other costs will be distributed to an agreed-upon charity organization. Epstein’s estate previously set up the Epstein Victims Compensation Program, which paid out $121 million from the estate to 136 claimants. Indyke and Kahn additionally resolved claims from 59 other victims for a total of around $48 million. BSF has represented Epstein victims in other matters, including settlements with banks accused of failing to flag suspicious activity in his accounts. The motion was filed by David Boies, Sigrid McCawley, Andrew Villacastin, Alexander Law, Daniel Crisipino and Megan Nyman of Boies Schiller Flexner.
