In 2016, a letter was drawn up for U.S. immigration officials with a glowing endorsement. It described "a very healthy marriage" between two women, their bond so deep they "often complete each other's sentences."
Its author, a New York accountant named Richard Kahn, said he had personally witnessed the women's "passion for each other" during meetings. He had his signature notarized to make it official.
But the marriage turned out to be a sham.
Kahn prepared the letter on behalf of his longtime boss and patron, Jeffrey Epstein. The convicted sex offender was trying to secure U.S. papers for an Eastern European woman he wanted to keep in the country. The plan required a spouse. Epstein had pressured an American woman he had abused into marrying the woman -- and Kahn's letter gave it legitimacy.
Soon after, the American woman told attorney Darren Indyke that she wanted a divorce. Indyke, who had previously advised her on how to communicate with U.S. immigration officials, warned against it. He, too, worked for Epstein.
Epstein wasn't a one-man operation. He ran a well-oiled machine, with members of his inner circle performing specific roles. Former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell recruited girls and young women whom Epstein would abuse, as did victims whom Epstein coerced into his scheme. His secretary Lesley Groff scheduled appointments.
But it was Kahn, the trusted accountant, and Indyke, the loyal lawyer, who kept the engine running for years with their financial and legal maneuvers. Indyke started working exclusively for Epstein around 1996. Kahn became Epstein's in-house accountant in 2005.
In separate statements to The Wall Street Journal, Kahn and Indyke each said they didn't know their boss was engaged in sex trafficking and denied being complicit in or knowingly facilitating any crimes. They said they never witnessed Epstein sexually abuse a woman and that none of the women ever reported to them they were being sexually abused.
Epstein's sexual abuse "by all accounts occurred behind closed doors, in secluded locations, and at times when neither Mr. Indyke nor Mr. Kahn was present," said Daniel Weiner, a lawyer for Indyke. The men said they provided legal and financial services that are typical for an ultrawealthy client.
The Journal reviewed public and nonpublic court documents; settlement agreements; banking, tax and property records; and letters and emails. The reporting includes interviews with women who dealt with Indyke and Kahn as well as people who worked with the two men and others familiar with their activities.
Both Kahn and Indyke were working closely with Epstein when he was arrested in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges. Epstein made the men co-executors of his estate, giving them the power to control access to evidence and assets currently estimated at more than $100 million.
While their boss was alive, part of their job was keeping his financial activities private. Indyke and Kahn created or were officers of entities that obscured transactions. Kahn managed the expenses, and Indyke withdrew cash in amounts that didn't trigger federal reporting and pushed to relax travel restrictions that came with Epstein's sex-offender status. Both explained away suspicious transactions in Epstein's accounts when banks asked questions.
Another part of the job was dealing directly with women later revealed to have been caught in Epstein's web. They facilitated marriages that turned out to be shams, sent payments to women who have since said they were abused and monitored the personal expenses Epstein was paying for.
Women said Kahn's office provided cash and logged costs for things Epstein was covering -- doctors' visits and rent, as well as lingerie from Victoria's Secret and haircuts at Frederic Fekkai. Kahn also prepared tax returns for some of the women and provided detailed spending reports on them at Epstein's request. For about two years, Kahn and Indyke worked from offices in a New York City building where Epstein also housed women who later said they were abused.
When banks cut off Epstein over suspicious transactions, Kahn and Indyke took steps to keep Epstein afloat. Indyke withdrew $100,000 in cash for his boss in 2018, and Kahn found new firms where Epstein could open accounts.
In their statements, Kahn and Indyke said Epstein's entities served legitimate purposes, such as employing household staff and paying expenses for aircraft. They said they didn't hide Epstein's involvement from banks and that any cash withdrawals were authorized and reviewed by banks. More than 90% of Epstein's spending was related to his residences and planes, according to Kahn.
Kahn "only very rarely ever interacted with any of Epstein's accusers" and any letter Kahn provided in support of a woman's immigration application was provided at the request of the recipient, said Daniel Ruzumna, a lawyer for Kahn. "He had no reason to think that any woman was coerced into a forced marriage."
Weiner, the lawyer for Indyke, said that Epstein regularly needed cash because after 2008 Epstein had limited access to credit cards, that there was nothing "inherently suspect" about Epstein's payments to Eastern European women and that Indyke had no reason to believe that the marriages "were anything other than consensual."
All the while, the duo were richly rewarded by Epstein. He paid them millions and gave them millions more in loans -- that were never repaid. Epstein also paid out-of-pocket for perks such as covering extra healthcare expenses and children's education.
Between 2011 and 2019, Epstein and Epstein-owned entities paid more than $16 million to Indyke and over $10 million to Kahn, "apparently far more than could reasonably be attributed to the rates of their professional services," the U.S. Virgin Islands government said in a 2020 lawsuit against the estate. Epstein owned a private island and had some of his entities based in the U.S. territory.
After Epstein's death in 2019, the pair were left to manage his estate and settle lawsuits brought by Epstein's victims. The men are among the beneficiaries of a major trust that will collect his remaining assets after all claims against the estate are resolved, called the 1953 Trust. That means they stand to personally benefit from whatever is left of his fortune, potentially tens of millions of dollars each.
Although their work for Epstein has been detailed in several civil lawsuits, Kahn and Indyke have largely stayed under the radar. When federal authorities in New York were investigating Epstein and Maxwell on sex-trafficking charges, neither Indyke nor Kahn was questioned by law enforcement, according to people familiar with the investigation.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan, which handled the Epstein and Maxwell cases, declined to comment.
In recent months, the estate has been turning over documents, including Epstein's 2003 birthday book and a cache of emails with prominent people, in response to a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee.
In a closed-door Capitol Hill meeting with the committee in September, some of Epstein's victims delivered a more urgent message to lawmakers, according to people who attended: Collecting documents isn't enough. Investigate the men controlling access to them. The women told committee members that the two men now gatekeeping access to evidence are the same ones who, in their view, helped orchestrate Epstein's operation for decades.
After Epstein's death, the men used their executor roles -- controlling both victims' compensation and access to records -- to try to immunize themselves from personal lawsuits, according to court filings. Victims who settled with the estate had to sign a release barring them from suing Kahn, Indyke and others. The victims could request an exception -- but it had to be approved by Kahn and Indyke.
"Epstein's sex trafficking could not have operated at the scope and scale it did, for as long as it did without the services and support Indyke and Kahn provided," said attorney David Boies, who is representing some Epstein accusers in a lawsuit against the two men filed in New York last year. "They managed the cash that fueled the sex trafficking, paid procurers like Maxwell, arranged transportation and housing for victims, concealed the sources of funds."
Lawyers for Kahn and Indyke said they have not improperly controlled access to evidence and continue to provide documents to the House Oversight Committee as requested. All of the estate's assets have gone to resolve claims, pay taxes or operational expenses -- and have been monitored by a court-appointed special master.
They said the victims' compensation program was voluntary and adjudicated by a neutral administrator, and that the language of the agreements was negotiated with victims' lawyers and was designed to avoid litigation that would deplete the estate's resources. Kahn and Indyke have also resolved more than 50 other victims' claims outside the program, their lawyers said.
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 for her role helping Epstein recruit and sexually abuse underage girls. She is serving a 20-year sentence, though was moved to a lower-security facility earlier this year.
Groff, Epstein's former secretary, hasn't been charged with any wrongdoing and has denied knowledge or involvement in Epstein's crimes. She didn't respond to requests for comment.
The lawyer and the accountant
Indyke was a recent college graduate from New York when he first met Epstein about three decades ago. He was working at a boutique Manhattan law firm called Gold & Wachtel that counted Epstein among its clients.
Within a few years, Indyke attended law school at Cornell University. When he graduated in 1991, he returned to Gold & Wachtel as an attorney, then moved to Greenberg Traurig, a large national firm.
Around 1996, Indyke left the firm to work exclusively for Epstein, supporting his financial consulting firm. Epstein moved his business in the late 1990s from the mainland to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the government granted him millions of dollars in tax incentives.
Early on, Epstein arranged an apartment for him at 301 E. 66th Street, where Indyke lived for about two years in the early 2000s. The building would later become infamous when it was discovered that Epstein had been housing women there that he was sexually exploiting. In their statements, Indyke and Kahn said they weren't aware of any abuse of the building's occupants.
"I was given an incredible opportunity and that was to go join and work closely with Mr. Epstein, who had become kind of my mentor," Indyke would say at a 2009 hearing in USVI. "So I guess you could say I've been working with him as an attorney, adviser and personal representative for over 20 years now."
Kahn's recruitment was more transactional, according to people familiar with the events.
In 2005, Epstein was in the market for a new accountant and used a recruiting firm. He tried out three candidates and eventually chose Kahn. The accountant was a young CPA from New York who had graduated from college in 1994 and earned his master's in taxation in 1999.
Like Indyke, Kahn dedicated himself to Epstein. He first worked as an employee of New York Strategy Group, an Epstein company. In 2008, he and fellow accountant Harry Beller established HBRK Associates Inc., a one-client firm that listed its address as the 301 E. 66th Street building used by Epstein. It was a one-bedroom apartment converted into an office. Indyke had a similar one, and their doors were across the hall from each other.
Kahn had been in the job less than a year when Epstein was arrested in 2006 on charges he was abusing girls in Florida. Kahn later told people that, as a new parent in a bad economy, he stayed on.
Kahn's lawyer said Epstein's Florida conviction "did not suggest that Epstein was a serial sex trafficker -- or that Epstein would commit acts of sex trafficking or abuse against adult women or minors in the future."
Beller also worked as an accountant for Epstein until 2014. JPMorgan Chase flagged checks signed by Beller as suspicious, including ones from Epstein's account totaling $800,000 in less than a year and a half, according to a suspicious activity report unsealed in a 2022 USVI lawsuit against JPMorgan. The bank also flagged an unusual number cashed for $9,800 -- just under the $10,000 daily limit requiring the bank to file a report with the Treasury Department. JPMorgan dropped Epstein as a client in 2013.
Beller didn't respond to requests for comment. He invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in response to a subpoena for documents and questions in a deposition in the New York lawsuit against Indyke and Kahn filed last year.
In 2007, Kahn and Indyke were involved in a $1 million letter of credit in Epstein's name to backstop a loan from Mellon United National Bank to MC2 Model Management, a modeling agency that Epstein used to recruit women, according to emails produced in the lawsuit against JPMorgan.
That same year, an HSBC branch in France terminated Epstein as a client, the first known instance of a major bank refusing to do business with him, according to emails obtained by Bloomberg. Indyke bore the news to his boss in a January 2008 email.
When Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida later in 2008 to procuring a person under 18 for prostitution, he needed someone to run his financial consulting business during his jail sentence. He asked Indyke to stand in.
Indyke made around 40 trips to see Epstein in jail. A USVI compliance review would later document that Epstein had relinquished his title as president of his consulting firm, Financial Trust Company, to Indyke during this period.
With Epstein behind bars, Indyke represented Financial Trust Company in a USVI hearing over whether to extend a 10-year tax break that the territory had awarded Epstein's company. Indyke was successful in obtaining a five-year extension.
Financial web
Around the time Epstein was released from a Florida jail in 2009, Indyke and Kahn were enmeshed in Epstein's complex financial and legal scaffolding. There were dozens of Epstein-related entities and hundreds of accounts at more than 20 banks by the time Epstein died.
Indyke and Kahn held positions at many of these entities, including some that were allegedly "created to simply facilitate the illegal sex-trafficking venture," according to the 2024 New York lawsuit against the two men. They include the C.O.U.Q. Foundation, Gratitude America, J. Epstein Virgin Islands Foundation, FT Real Estate, Hyperion Air, Jeepers, Mort and Zorro Development.
Indyke's lawyer said there was "nothing remotely sinister in the use of such entities" and there was no effort to hide that Epstein owned them. Kahn's lawyer said it was a standard way of organizing assets, such as aircraft and residences.
The two men were also trustees of the Butterfly Trust, which made $383,000 in five payments to women in one year through a JPMorgan account, according to a forensic accountant's report commissioned by USVI in the 2022 lawsuit against the bank. USVI's expert said there was no justification for the transfers and called them "highly suspicious."
Indyke and Kahn served as vice president and treasurer, respectively, of the C.O.U.Q. Foundation, which made more than $30,000 in direct payments to women, according to the report.
The report also gives a partial view of the men's compensation from Epstein's JPMorgan accounts from 2003 to 2013. Indyke's personal account received $2.4 million, while his business account received $8.3 million over those years. Kahn's company, HBRK Associates, received $4.9 million in that time, the report said.
The men received other forms of financial compensation. Epstein lent Indyke more than $7 million that was never repaid. He financially assisted Indyke in purchasing homes in New Jersey and Boca Raton, Fla.
Kahn's lawyer said the compensation from Epstein was consistent with Kahn's experience and education. Indyke's lawyer said his compensation was appropriate given his nearly 23 years of legal services for Epstein.
Roles as 'assistants'
In July 2012, Indyke and another Epstein lawyer met with the USVI attorney general to loosen the travel requirements for his boss, who often spent time at his private island there.
As a convicted sex offender, Epstein was required to provide 21 days' notice before leaving the territory. Indyke, who was responsible for reporting Epstein's travels, and the other lawyer argued it was too burdensome. The requirement was dropped to just 24 hours' notice, limiting the ability of authorities to track Epstein's movements.
In 2019, before Epstein's arrest, a new USVI attorney general reimposed the 21-day requirement. By then, Epstein had spent years moving freely between his properties, including his private island where dozens of young women have said they were sexually exploited.
For years, young women whom Epstein was sexually abusing cycled through Epstein's properties as "assistants." Epstein supplied their housing, managed their immigration papers, arranged medical and dental care, and funded even basic personal needs such as haircuts and clothing.
Lawsuits would later allege that Epstein orchestrated at least three fraudulent marriages for immigration purposes, and that Indyke and Kahn performed legal and accounting work, including helping the women set up joint bank accounts. Lawyers for Indyke and Kahn said the marriages were legal and the women thanked them for the work.
In May 2013, after a Russian woman whom Epstein was sexually exploiting opened a Bank of America account, Kahn immediately wired $14,073 into it, according to a lawsuit filed against the bank this year.
Over the following years, Kahn and bookkeeper Bella Klein used the account to pay rent and other costs with money from Epstein -- creating the appearance that the woman was earning legitimate income and paying her own expenses, the lawsuit said.
Klein declined to comment. Like Beller, the former accountant, she declined to turn over records or answer questions in a deposition in the New York lawsuit against Indyke and Kahn, citing her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
The rent checks were made out to "301/66 Owners Corp" at 301 E. 66th Street, the same building where Kahn and Indyke each once had an office.
In May 2015, the woman was added to the payroll of one of Epstein's companies. Paychecks were deposited into the Bank of America account, and Kahn used the records to prepare the woman's 2015 tax return.
Epstein arranged for the Russian woman to marry another young woman to secure her immigration status, and the bank statements and tax returns were to create a paper trail for immigration officials, the lawsuit against Bank of America said.
When she later questioned Kahn about irregularities in the account in her name -- transactions were far too large for her supposed income -- she was told not to worry, the suit said.
Kahn's lawyer said his client had no control over this account and that the woman who received the funds didn't inform Kahn of any abuse.
In 2014, Epstein lured a young European model with false promises of development work in Africa with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. She received a letter signed by Kahn on Enhanced Education letterhead -- an Epstein entity where Kahn was listed as an officer -- requesting expedited visa processing.
The letter claimed the woman would "canvass the progress of The Gates Foundation Program in three African Nations" for Enhanced Education's continued operations in Africa and that all her expenses were covered.
In fact, there was no Gates Foundation arrangement and Enhanced Education had no African operations. By the time the model realized no legitimate work awaited her and that Epstein was sexually exploiting her, months had passed.
Kahn's lawyer said Epstein asked him to prepare the letter, he had no reason to question Enhanced Education's sponsorship and there was no suggestion of abuse. The Gates Foundation didn't respond to a request for comment.
Cash operations
Sex-trafficking operations depend on cash since it leaves no record of payments to victims or recruiters. But obtaining large amounts of cash without triggering federal reporting requirements takes careful planning.
Indyke, who had signatory authority, made bank withdrawals from Epstein's accounts in a systematic way, according to a 2020 settlement agreement between Deutsche Bank and the New York state financial regulator and lawsuits filed by Epstein accusers. The New York regulator fined Deutsche Bank for failing to properly monitor its dealings with Epstein.
About twice a month between 2013 and 2017, Indyke walked into the Deutsche Bank branch on Park Avenue, a few blocks from Epstein's Manhattan townhouse, according to details spelled out in the settlement. Each time, the lawyer withdrew exactly $7,500 in cash -- the maximum amount someone other than the account holder could take out. Over four years, Indyke made this withdrawal 97 times.
The cash would be stored in a safe in Kahn's office, and then placed in Epstein's black travel bag as needed. A May 8, 2014, email from Groff, Epstein's secretary, reviewed by the Journal, inquired if Kahn had brought the cash that day. "Do you know if Rich brought money for JE today?" she wrote. "The black bag is to always have $6,000 if he is traveling..."
The settlement described how when bank personnel asked why Epstein needed so much cash, Indyke cited travel, tipping and household expenses. But in May 2014, Indyke asked a bank employee a question that revealed his real concern: How often could he withdraw cash without triggering an alert? "Is it once a week? Twice a week? Once every other week?"
Indyke's lawyer said Indyke was authorized to make the withdrawals and only wanted to ensure he didn't exceed the maximum amount allowed for non-account holders.
The pattern continued for years. On July 20, 2016, Indyke brought two checks to cash to a teller: $7,500 from Epstein's account and $4,000 from his own business account. The $11,500 total was enough to trigger federal reporting.
He cashed only the $7,500 check that day, then returned the next day for the $4,000 one.
In July 2017, Indyke asked a teller directly: Would a withdrawal of more than $10,000 require a report? When told yes, he spread a withdrawal over two days.
That month, anti-money-laundering officers at Deutsche Bank confronted him. His withdrawals looked like textbook cash structuring -- pulling money in increments designed to evade reporting requirements. By then, Indyke had withdrawn hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash from Epstein's personal accounts since he opened them in 2013.
On Jan. 17, 2018, just before Deutsche Bank closed its Park Avenue branch, Indyke cashed a single check for $100,000. Kahn coordinated with the bank to ensure they had the cash ready, according to the 2024 New York lawsuit.
Bank scrutiny
In May 2018, a Deutsche Bank compliance officer noticed payments from Epstein to the Russian bank accounts of women with Eastern European surnames. A bank employee asked Kahn to explain the purpose and Epstein's relationship with the recipients.
Kahn's response: "SENT TO A FRIEND FOR TUITION FOR SCHOOL."
Kahn's lawyer said estate records show that the women were in school, Epstein was paying their tuition and nothing suggested that "Epstein's payments were for sex rather than to support their studies."
Indyke wired tens of thousands of dollars to women with Eastern European surnames in the three years leading up to Epstein's 2019 arrest, according to the 2020 USVI lawsuit against the Epstein estate. And over nine months ending in February 2019, one of Epstein's personal bank accounts recorded 97 withdrawals of $1,000 -- all from the same ATM near Indyke's office, the lawsuit said.
Meanwhile, from 2016 to 2019, Epstein made at least 55 payments to women that were marked in financial records as " HBRK Associates," Kahn's company, according to a document produced by JPMorgan in the 2022 lawsuit against the bank.
After the Miami Herald published a series in November 2018 reporting that Epstein had dozens of victims, more banks started dropping him. Kahn worked hard to keep him afloat and find new financial institutions, while Indyke kept Epstein abreast of the media fallout. Emails released by the House Oversight Committee earlier this month included those from Indyke to Epstein about damaging news articles on the sexual-abuse allegations.
In December 2018, Deutsche Bank began shutting down Epstein's accounts, and Indyke and Kahn started moving money elsewhere -- including to accounts in their own names.
Around that time, both Kahn and Indyke had signatory authority on some accounts.
In April 2019, an Epstein trust made two payments: $1 million to Indyke's personal TD Bank account and $1 million to Kahn's personal JPMorgan account, according to people familiar with the accounts.
That year, Kahn traveled to USVI to discuss activating a banking license that would help Epstein start his own bank.
On July 6, 2019, Epstein was arrested at Teterboro Airport and charged with sex-trafficking. The moment triggered a flood of civil claims against Epstein's estate from his victims.
A month later, Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell. Both Indyke and Kahn hired criminal defense lawyers.
The money kept moving. In April 2020, another of Epstein's trusts received around $13 million in proceeds from his investments. That year, more than half of the trust's funds moved into new trusts -- with Indyke and Kahn among the beneficiaries -- according to a motion filed by USVI in its 2020 lawsuit against the estate.
The investment adviser for the trust wrote in a letter to banks that the decision to "decant" the trust's assets was done in large part to insulate the money from claims against the beneficiaries of the new trusts.
After the estate settles debts and legal claims against it, Epstein's remaining assets are to be funneled into another trust, called the 1953 Trust, according to his will, modified two days before Epstein's death.
Indyke and Kahn are co-trustees of the trust, which is named after the year Epstein was born. They are also two of the top three beneficiaries, prioritized over dozens of others, including Maxwell, said people familiar with the trust. The other top-three beneficiary was the Eastern European woman involved in the 2016 immigration letter that Kahn worked on.
Under the terms of the trust agreement, the men would receive tens of millions of dollars each as beneficiaries if the trust has sufficient assets after the estate's affairs are settled, one of the people said.
In 2020, the Epstein estate established the Epstein Victims' Compensation Program, which ultimately paid more than $121 million to 136 women. But to receive compensation, victims had to sign releases barring them from bringing claims against Kahn and Indyke, among others, according to court filings.
Lawyers for Indyke and Kahn said the program was established to create a fair, private process to resolve claims, that amounts were determined by the neutral administrator after negotiation with the victims' lawyers and that there was no limit on payouts.
Other cases were settled outside the program. Some women said their mediations were traumatic. They said lawyers for Indyke and Kahn worked to keep payouts low and shamed victims over their correspondence with Epstein. This was especially painful, they said, given that the effect of Indyke and Kahn's work had helped keep women trapped and the pair stood to benefit from keeping the payouts low.
Indyke's lawyer said the mediation process was "done in complete privacy" and that some women had sent Epstein "multiple, repeated messages of warmth, love and support" years after their interactions with him.
In November 2022, the duo, as executors, settled the USVI lawsuit against the estate, in which the USVI attorney general alleged Indyke and Kahn served as the operational backbone of Epstein's sex-trafficking enterprise.
Under the terms of the settlement, the estate, without admitting wrongdoing, agreed to pay USVI $105 million in cash plus half the proceeds from the sale of Little St. James, Epstein's private island, the USVI attorney general's office said.
A New York federal judge last year allowed the lawsuit against Indyke and Kahn filed by Boies and his firm to proceed on behalf of women who hadn't signed the releases to receive funds from the estate. "These allegations permit the reasonable inference that Indyke and Kahn knew what was going on and had a hand in keeping it going," the judge ruled.
After Epstein
Six years after Epstein's death, Indyke and Kahn remain wealthy and in control of key evidence.
In February 2025, at a hearing in a separate lawsuit involving women who have accused Epstein of abuse, victims' lawyer Brad Edwards accused the two men of stonewalling discovery requests. "We have a situation where it is truly a fox guarding the henhouse. The co-executors Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn are not independent, neutral executors," he said. "Unless we tell them exactly the documents that we know exist, we're getting no responsive documents back."
Lawyers for Kahn and Indyke said they hadn't stonewalled discovery requests and have turned over hundreds of thousands of pages to private plaintiffs.
Indyke has relocated to Delray Beach, Fla., where he bought a $1.8 million home in 2023. That same year, he sold his Boca Raton house for $5.5 million. He has been working as a real-estate agent and appearing in online videos promoting luxury properties in the area.
Indyke landed a job as a lawyer at Parlatore Law Group, a firm whose founding partner, Tim Parlatore, has represented President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
On the firm's website, Indyke describes himself as "a devoted husband and father of twin daughters" who volunteers with dog rescue shelters. He said he has "over 15 years of battle-tested crisis management experience" and "resolved well over 150 claims on behalf of defendants for a fraction of the dollar amounts claimed in litigation," but doesn't name Epstein.
Kahn owns property in New York and has told people recently he is no longer working as an accountant.
In September 2025, Kahn and Indyke filed legal responses denying the allegations against them in the New York lawsuit.
The men agreed with the lawsuit on some points: They said they are entitled to future compensation for their work as co-executors and control the trust that will get whatever is left of Epstein's fortune. They didn't volunteer that they are also key beneficiaries.
