US EditionEpstein Estate Agrees to Pay Up to $35M to Settle Manhattan Class-Action Lawsuit
The settlement offers confidential financial relief to eligible victims and ends the 2024 lawsuit against Epstein’s advisers, with payments up to $35 million if 40 or more qualify.
- On Feb 19, Epstein's estate agreed to settle a Manhattan class action accusing two advisers of aiding sex trafficking, as announced by Boies Schiller Flexner in a federal court filing in Manhattan.
- The estate had already paid $US121 million in a restitution fund and $US49 million more to victims who alleged abuse between January 1, 1995 and August 10, 2019.
- The estate would pay $35m if 40 or more eligible class members join, or $25m if fewer than 40, and a federal judge in New York must approve the deal before it becomes final.
- By agreeing to settle, the co-executors aim to achieve finality, with Daniel H. Weiner saying `Because they did nothing wrong, the co-executors were prepared to fight the claims...` and denying misconduct.
- Boies Schiller, the plaintiffs' firm, previously won $365 million from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank, while lawyers said Indyke and Kahn helped Epstein hide abuses through complex corporate structures linked to his global network of associates.
