Jeffrey Epstein: fund proposed to compensate financier's victims

The executors of the estate of Jeffrey Epstein said on Thursday they had asked a judge to approve the creation of a proposed fund to compensate women the financier was accused of having sexually abused. The executors, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, said in a statement that the fund would create a “voluntary, confidential, non-adversarial alternative to litigation”.

His estate is facing about a dozen lawsuits from women who say Epstein sexually abused them, many while they were underage.

The proposed compensation fund, which must be approved by a US Virgin Islands court, would be overseen by administrators including Jordana Feldman and Kenneth Feinberg, who have worked on compensation funds for victims affected by 9/11.

Women who choose not to take part in the program would still be allowed to pursue their claims against the estate in court, according to Thursday’s statement. It was not immediately clear how much money would be available for the victim compensation fund.

The attorney Roberta Kaplan, who represents one of the women suing the estate, expressed skepticism of the plan. “Given that this latest fund was launched without our input or consent, we will keep an open mind because we are supportive of attempts to fairly compensate these survivors, but both the estate and the new administrators have a lot to prove,” she said in a press release.

Another lawyer, Brad Edwards, said the estate should start by committing all of Epstein’s assets to the compensation fund.“If the estate is placing all estate assets into the claims program for victims, then it is a step in the right direction,” said Edwards, who represents multiple alleged victims. “In the meantime, we intend to get the filed cases to trial quickly. Either way, justice for our clients, without delay, is our goal.“

1. Liquidate the entire estate for victims compensation.

His family and friends should get nothing.

Limit the amount estate executor and attorneys get as well. The man and his friends were pure evil.

3. So, what has become of the woman who was assisting Epstein in these rapes?

You know, the pilot/assistant/whatever that the police were looking for who managed to just drop off the face of the earth?
