Federal prosecutors in New York City are reportedly investigating two men who managed the estate of Jeffrey Epstein after his death in 2019. These men, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn—Epstein’s former lawyer and accountant—are now under scrutiny for their roles in handling his financial and legal affairs. According to The Wall Street Journal, investigators have spoken to potential witnesses and requested emails and financial records tied to Indyke and Kahn. The Independent has reached out to a legal representative for Epstein’s estate, which these two men have managed since his death, but no response has been received. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan has also not yet commented on the investigation. Indyke and Kahn have previously denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and have not been formally accused of wrongdoing. In March, they testified before Congress, stating that federal investigators had never interviewed them about their late client. This raised questions about the extent of the Department of Justice’s probe into Epstein. Indyke told the House Oversight Committee that he had “no knowledge whatsoever” of Epstein’s crimes and denied helping facilitate the trafficking of women and girls. Khan said he chose to remain Epstein’s accountant after learning of his 2008 guilty plea for soliciting a minor, believing Epstein when he claimed it would not happen again. As executors of Epstein’s estate, Indyke and Kahn have played a central role in managing lawsuits from survivors of Epstein’s abuse. At the time of his death in 2019, Epstein’s estate was valued at up to $650 million, and a compensation fund established by the estate has already paid out over $120 million to survivors. Recent court documents from October 2025 estimate that his remaining assets are now worth about $127 million. The nature of the current federal investigation is still unclear, but it appears to focus on whether Indyke and Kahn’s handling of Epstein’s finances and legal matters might have hidden or enabled his crimes. In February, Indyke and Kahn agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by survivors who accused them of helping facilitate Epstein’s illegal activities for their own financial benefit. The lawsuit claimed that the two men helped structure Epstein’s accounts to provide his associates with access to large sums of cash, which were used for sex trafficking. They are also set to receive significant portions of Epstein’s assets after all claims against his estate are settled, with Indyke potentially receiving $50 million and Kahn up to $25 million. Lauren Hersh, CEO of the anti-trafficking organization World Without Exploitation, said survivors have long believed Epstein’s crimes were enabled by a network of individuals and institutions. She welcomed the news that federal prosecutors are now investigating Indyke and Kahn, saying survivors deserve a full accounting of how Epstein and his associates were able to operate for so long. Meanwhile, no new arrests have been made in the U.S. related to Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence. The release of thousands of documents related to Epstein during the Trump administration has fueled calls for more investigations and prosecutions. The House Oversight Committee has also interviewed survivors, leading to criminal referrals for at least two individuals connected to Epstein. Recently, the House voted to hold billionaire Leon Black in contempt of Congress after he refused to comply with subpoenas related to his ties to Epstein.
