New Mexico's attorney general on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit accusing Jeffrey Epstein's long-time personal lawyer and accountant of facilitating Epstein's sex trafficking operation.
The civil suit alleges that the attorney, Darren Indyke, and the accountant, Richard Kahn, helped finance and conceal Epstein's sex trafficking, which included the abuse of girls and young women at his Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County, New Mexico.
Indyke and Kahn are beneficiaries of Epstein's 1953 Trust, co-executors of Epstein's estate, and administrators of the revocable trust, whose name comes from the year of the convicted sex offender's birth.
New Mexico's suit asks a judge to block Indyke and Kahn from receiving payments from the estate as the case proceeds in U.S. District Court in New Mexico.
Attorney General Raul Torrez's office said that Epstein's estate is currently valued at more than $107 million, and the suit says Indyke and Kahn are eligible for bequests of $50 million and $25 million, subject to the availability of funds.
