Two executors of the Jeffrey Epstein estate have been accused of hiding around $13 million to avoid having to pay his victims and instead pocket the money for themselves. According to the New York Times, the former financer’s lawyer, Darren Indyke, and estate accountant, Richard Kahn, allegedly moved money from Jeffrey’s wealth into a trust that they could access at any time.
Authorities in the US Virgin Islands filed court documents on Friday, accusing the pair of transferring millions into Butterly Fly, which supposedly started almost a year after Jeffrey committed suicide in his New York prison cell. Jeffrey was reportedly worth $600 million at the time of his death, but a whopping $120 million had already been spent in settlement payments, including federal taxes.
Turns out that Victoria’s Secret is that Les Wexner was funding most of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking business, including selling him the private jet known as Lolita Express for below market price and allowing him legal access to his billions without question.

One excerpt of the legal docs read, “The government discovered that substantial funds kept secret from the government were transferred for the benefit of the coexecutors in an apparent effort to enrich themselves and shelter these assets from recovery.” The Butterfly Trust received a $13 million wire transfer before being sent over to three different entities, with two of them associated with Kahn and Indyke and their spouses.
Attorney Daniel Weiner, who is representing the estate, has vehemently denied the accusations made against Darren and Richard, adding that “they categorically reject the baseless assertions of wrongdoing made against them.” Daniel continued, “The 2013 Butterfly Trust mentioned in today’s filing by Ms. George has nothing whatsoever to do with Mr. Epstein’s estate or any funds available to it.”
Virgin Islands Attorney General, Denise George, had previously requested to have the estate’s funds frozen under growing suspicion of the mismanagement of Jeffrey’s funds, particularly since the victims had yet to receive a settlement fee.

“The Estate has found its way to pay for lawyers, landscaping, and helicopter fees, but not the brave women who have stepped forward to participate in the compensation fund,” she expressed. “It is, unconscionably, another promise made and broken by Epstein and now, his Estate.”
Meanwhile, Jeffrey’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison just months after being convicted of trafficking young girls for him. Ghislaine spent a decade flying minors to the island and physiologically abusing the victims, many of whom tried to escape the tropical isle by jumping into the shark-infested water.
