Jeffrey Epstein attorney, accountant sued by New Mexico AG

Key Points:

• New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez filed a federal civil lawsuit accusing Jeffrey Epstein's personal lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn of facilitating Epstein's sex trafficking operation, including abuse at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico.
• Indyke and Kahn, co-executors of Epstein's estate and beneficiaries of his trust, are alleged to have helped finance and conceal Epstein's crimes and are being blocked from receiving estate payments during the lawsuit.
• Epstein's estate is valued at over $107 million, with Indyke and Kahn eligible for $50 million and $25 million respectively, but the suit seeks to prevent them from profiting while survivors continue to suffer.
• The lawsuit follows a related investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York and earlier testimony by Indyke and Kahn to the House Oversight Committee, though both deny knowingly facilitating Epstein's abuse.
• New Mexico's criminal investigation into Epstein's trafficking operation continues with no charges filed yet; Epstein's estate previously agreed to a $35 million class action settlement involving allegations against Indyke and Kahn without admitting wrongdoing.
