Larry Summers listed as backup executor in 2014 version of Epstein’s will

A 2014 will named Summers as backup executor with broad estate powers; he was later removed amid scrutiny of Epstein's network after DOJ briefly posted the document.

  • On Monday, the Department of Justice disclosed a November 2014 will showing Lawrence H. Summers named a successor executor with broad authority over Jeffrey E. Epstein's estate.
  • The Department of Justice released more than 6,000 files Friday under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including a 2014 will archived by Drop Site News before removal, with no explanation for its posting or removal.
  • More than the backup name, the 2014 document names Darren K. Indyke, David Mitchell and James E. Staley as executors, each entitled to an executor fee $250,000 upon probate, while 2019 filings replaced some with Richard D. Kahn.
  • Court filings show Lawrence H. Summers was removed from Epstein's estate papers, and Summers said he was `deeply ashamed` and stepped back from roles at Harvard, OpenAI and Bloomberg.
  • Amid renewed scrutiny, victims and lawmakers have criticized the Justice Department for heavy redactions as Epstein's vast wealth and network of powerful figures in finance draw public scrutiny and congressional interest.
