Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has agreed to pay as much as $35m to resolve a class-action lawsuit that accused two of the disgraced financier’s advisers of aiding and abetting his sex trafficking of young women and teenage girls, according to a court filing.

Boies Schiller Flexner, a law firm representing Epstein victims, announced the settlement in a brief filed in federal court in Manhattan on Thursday.

The deal, if approved by a judge, would bring an end to a 2024 lawsuit filed against Epstein’s former personal lawyer Darren Indyke and former accountant Richard Kahn, who are co-executors of the late Epstein’s estate.

Epstein’s estate previously set up a restitution fund that paid out $121m to victims. The estate also paid out $49m in additional settlements to victims.

    There’s 1,200 victims. 39m =29,000 each to shut up forever.

    I got 130k settlement to shut up for an attempted SA. 30k seems insulting.

      After the publicity, admin-released photos, falsehoods, dodging, and whatever that ‘they could just come talk to us whenever they want’ drivel, it needs to be 100m each at this point.
