After Jeffrey Epstein’s death in 2019, a fierce legal and financial battle erupted over control of his estate and the distribution of compensation to his victims. Epstein left behind an estate valued in the hundreds of millions, but the process became mired in disputes between the executors, attorneys for survivors, the Virgin Islands government, and various institutions seeking restitution. At the center was the question of whether the estate would be used primarily to compensate the women trafficked and abused by Epstein, or whether competing interests—including creditors, banks, and government claims—would erode the pool of available funds. The estate established a victims’ compensation program intended to provide settlements without forcing survivors into protracted court fights, but critics argued the structure allowed the estate to protect Epstein’s financial network while requiring survivors to sign away rights in exchange for relief.
The fight intensified as allegations surfaced that those overseeing the estate had removed documents and assets, concealed information, and attempted to preserve Epstein’s financial relationships while limiting public exposure. The program paid out hundreds of millions of dollars, but many survivors described the process as adversarial, slow, and emotionally brutal, saying they felt pressured to accept settlements rather than pursue broader accountability. Meanwhile, separate litigation targeted banks and the Virgin Islands government for enabling Epstein, further complicating the financial picture. Years later, the estate remains symbolic of the larger struggle surrounding Epstein: a battle not just for money, but for truth, transparency, and justice that victims argue still feels unfinished.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
Hope you're all having a great Monday out there, and
hopefully you had a great weekend as well. Down in
the Virgin Islands, Jeffrey Epstein's estate and the Attorney General
of the Virgin Islands, Denise George. They have been engaged
(00:20):
in this ongoing battle over finances and how the estate
is allegedly spending the money, and there doesn't seem to
be any quit in this fight anytime soon, as they
continue to trade filings in court and continue to trade
(00:41):
barbes in the news. So let's get into this article
from the Virgin Islands Daily News and let's see what
Suzanne Carlson has found out for us, headlined ag Epstein
Co Executors still fighting over one hundred and fifty million
dollars that's left in the estate. So the crazy part
(01:04):
is that there's any money left in this estate at all.
It should have all been dispersed to the survivors, but
somehow the biggest winner here ends up being Uncle Sam.
Like usual, they're gonna get their peace right, the government's
getting their tax dollars, and there's no two ways about it.
(01:25):
But the rest of the money that was left over,
it shouldn't even be a discussion. Every last dollar should
go to these survivors. But instead we've had Denise George
out here for quite a while now trying to get
money for the Virgin Islands. And for me, that would
be a little more palpable, a bit more acceptable if
(01:50):
it wasn't for government officials in the Virgin Islands facilitating
Jeffrey Epstein's nonprofits and all the other stuff he was
doing down there. It wasn't like he just came down there,
showed up and you know, planted his flag and was like, look,
I'm here, I'm gonna do whatever I want. There were
people that were in the bureaucracy that were getting doled out,
(02:12):
that were on the arm and because they were getting
hooked up obviously Epstein had all of these beneficial you know,
tax loopholes and the rest of it. And now for
the Virgin Islands to think that they should get some
of this money, I find it to be absurd. Honestly,
(02:34):
every last dollar should have went to these survivors. The end.
Virgin Island's Attorney General, Denise George continues to spar in
court with attorneys for Jeffrey Epstein's co executors over what
remains of the wealthy sex offender pedophiles the state. George
(02:55):
is arguing that the co executors, Epstein's longtime attorneys, Richard
Kahn and Darren and are trying to hide a state
assets for themselves and maneuver millions through the twenty and
thirteen Butterfly Trust. Now, the Butterfly Trust is pretty interesting
because it was one of more than forty accounts that
Epstein had over at Deutsche Bank, and through this Butterfly Trust,
(03:19):
according to the authorities, he paid off co conspirators and
he also paid off some of the people who were
allegedly abused through this very trust. So it's interesting that
they're bringing this up now. According to authorities who looked
into Deutsche Bank and slapped them with the regulation penalties,
(03:41):
they were saying that this created a risk of payments
that could be used for Epstein to further cover up
his crimes and in danger more women. But Deutsche Bank
they never really cared, did they. They were in business
with some of the worst of the worst. I mean,
look at every oligarch around the world, the ones in
(04:02):
America and elsewhere. How many of them had their money
parked over at Deutsche Bank. There are no assets in
the twenty thirteen Butterfly trusts that are assets of the estate,
and accordingly, it is false to allege that the co
executors have dissipated or concealed any estate assets, Reyes said
in an email to the Daily News. And we all
(04:24):
know that that's a bunch of bs, right. We all
know that Epstein's attorneys here in dike Kan, they were
a crucial part of what Epstein had going on. Jeffrey
Epstein said it himself. So to think that these guys,
you know, aren't moving money around or trying to play
games is a bit of a stretch for me anyway.
(04:47):
A wealthy sex offender pedophile, Epstein died by suicide allegedly
in August twenty nineteen while awaiting trial on sex crimes.
His estate was initially valued at over six hundred thirty
six million dollars, but was worth one hundred and forty
nine zero point fifty four million as of June thirtieth,
(05:07):
according to the eleventh quarterly accounting of the estate filed
and probate court on August first. So remember out of
all that money that Epstein had that they knew about anyway,
the survivors got roughly what one hundred and thirty million
of it or so, So what happened to the other
roughly four hundred million? Government got their piece, But where's
(05:31):
the rest of this money? At Conn and Endeicker both
named defendants in a lawsuit George filed against Epstein's estate
in twenty twenty pursuant to the Criminally Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act or CICCO, which claims they helped fund Epstein's
sex trafficking with eighty million dollars in tax benefits Southern
(05:51):
Trust Company received from the Virgin Islands Economic Development Commission.
And that's crucial. Epstein didn't just pull them out of
a hat, right, he received them from the Economic Development Commission. Now,
what Denise George will say, and proponents of the Virgin
Islands getting money will say, is that they did it
on false pretenses. They came in there and they fooled
(06:13):
these bureaucrats into thinking that Epstein was gonna do something
to help the community. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah.
But the reality is this all of these bureaucrats had
their hands out, and then they took to Epstein's money
and let him create all of these tax havens, basically,
and they didn't get anything on the flip side for
the community. And now when it's all been exposed, why
(06:37):
should that money come out of the survivor's kitty. Why
should that come out of their pot to fix what
happened in the Virgin Islands breaking news The Virgin Islands
let them down. The survivors didn't let the Virgin Islands down.
The civil claim also includes environmental finds assessed by the
Virgin Island Department of Planning and Natural Resources, which issued
(06:58):
penalties around two point eight to three million dollars for
illegal building projects on Epstein's private islands Little and Great
Saint James, located off east end of Saint Thomas. So
I can see that. Look, if you're building illegally down
there and you're gonna get fined, that's how it goes.
They should find them for that. But as far as
(07:18):
taking money from the survivors themselves to give to the
Virgin Islands, I don't understand how that's logical at all,
considering that it was the Virgin Island bureaucrats who set
this all up in the first place. A judge order
to stay in the SECO case to facilitate mediation, but
(07:39):
Chief Deputy Virgin Island Attorney General Carol Thomas Jacobs filed
an emergency motion to lift this day on July twenty second,
claiming Cohn and Indyke moved thirteen million out of the
estate for their own benefit. Now we talked about that
when it happened, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least. Now,
I don't have all the facts, right, I'll tell you
(08:00):
straight up, right up front. I don't have all the facts.
But it fits in with the way Indike and Khan
have been going about their lives ever since they've been
in the employee of Jeffrey Epstein. You mean to tell
me two people who are that close to Epstein have
no idea what happened, have no idea what went down?
Give me a break. The filing called for discovery to
(08:26):
begin and mention the twenty thirteen Butterfly Trust, implying it
is essentially a way for executors to transfer money into
their personal accounts. Raya slammed the claims as demonstrably false
and Indyke's attorney, Christopher Kroblin, wrote in an eighteen page
response that the Attorney General's Office filed illegally, meritless, factually misleading,
(08:49):
and inflammato inflammatory motion to take discovery of co executors
Darren Endyke and Richard Kahan. Can someone answer this question
for me? How is it that the only Attorney General
in the whole country that's looking at Endyke and con Well,
at least that we know of, is down here in
the Virgin Islands. You mean to tell me these two
(09:11):
dudes didn't commit any crimes in New York. I know
the SDN why is very busy right now in all
but you know they might want to take a look
at some of Epstein's co conspirators. The response called for
sanctions against the government, and Thomas Jacobs filed on eleven
page response on Thursday, saying that there was a surprisingly
(09:31):
abrupt end to the mediation, which was the sole purpose
for this stay, so the government moved to lift it.
The Epstein estates meritless claims for sanctions for doing so
is absurd, Thomas Jacobs wrote, so basically, Thomas Jacobs, Carol
Thomas Jacobs is telling the court that the estate here
(09:53):
is just being absolutely absurd with their requests. The government
has placed criminal activity leans on the estate as a
matter of statutory right and out of concerns over the
administration of what are and should be Epstein's estate, property
or funds. She wrote, the government's concerns are well founded
(10:14):
because defendants have refused to provide documentation of trust related
to Jeffrey Epstein, while substantial evidence shows that con and
Indyke were both deeply involved in Epstein's financial activities. According
to Thomas Jacobs, well yeah, obviously, Look, if you're the
in house lawyer and you're the in house accountant for
(10:35):
a dude like Epstein, chances are you know about where
all the secrets are, you know about all of the
financial deals. And again I ask you, how is it
that r. Kelly and Keith Rainiery both get slapped with
RICO charges but Gallaine Maxwell does not. What are they
so worried about uncovering? Here? Conn and Indyke failed to
(10:58):
disclose millions of dots and loans made by Epstein to them,
which should be reflected and collected as assets of the estate.
According to Thomas Jacobs and our beneficiaries of Epstein's Epstein
created trust that in the year after Epstein's death received
over thirteen million dollars that was then transferred not to
the Epstein estate but to separate trust created for the
(11:21):
benefit of defendants in Dike and Khan, their spouses and others,
with recognition that these funds were being insulated from the
beneficiaries of the claimants against the estate. So the same old,
same old, right, If you have a couple of bucks,
you have a couple of decent lawyers, you can find
a way to hide your money, but the rest of
us now will. If you transfer more than six hundred
(11:43):
bucks digitally, you are now on the radar. Folks, must
be nice to be one of these rich criminals comebacks
where there's never any penalties for being a dirt back.
Better pay your taxes though, and to the very penny nowadays.
Despite the co Executor's statements that the allegations and evidence
(12:03):
are misleading and inflammatory, she added that they notably do
not rebut the truth of the government's compelling allegations. Instead,
they turn their fire to making baseless procedural arguments seemingly
designed to distract from the evidence of wrongdoing and their
deliberate refusal to provide the government with any discovery from
(12:24):
the inception of this case. So again, why are you
guys messing around with the Sicco case here? Why not
just hit them with a criminally liable Rico case. What
is everybody so scared of? You know what's funny. The
government loves to throw Rico around. They sure love to
throw it around. If you're engaging in illegal gambling or
(12:45):
maybe you're selling some pot out of your mom's house, yeah,
then it's Rico's city. But if you're Glenn Maxwell, you're
Darren Indyke, you're Richard Kahan, and you know where the
bodies are buried, and you might embarrass the government a
little bit. Yeah, we're gonna avoid that Rico folks at
all costs. Reya said that parties held a brief conference
(13:06):
before Superior Court Judge Harold WILLOCKX on Friday. The court
did not rule on the government's motion, notwithstanding the government's
claim that the need for discovery was an emergency, and
instead combined argument on the motion with the argument on
the estate's motion to vacate the government's lean, scheduled for
October fourth. Therefore, this stay remains in effect, according to Raya.
(13:31):
According to the Co Executors filing on August first, the
government continues to make the well worn, yet demonstrably false
allegations that the co Executors are improperly dissipating as state assets.
The government does not does so fully aware of the
actual effects, but with the intention of generating fantastical headlines
(13:53):
that it perceives will offer some tactical yet unfair advantage
in this lawsuit. Well, when you can't win on the
merits of your argument, you got to rely on loopholes
and technicalities, right, And it's been a tried and true
strategy for the Epstein criminal organization for this whole entire run.
Might as well keep it up. The government said in
(14:18):
a previous filing that the estate's value has plummeted over
seventy five percent in two years. The bulk of the
estate's remaining assets are nearly one hundred and twenty million
in legal entities Epstein owned, and there is nearly twenty
two million in cash on hand. For the period of
April first to June thirtieth of this year, the estate
(14:38):
paid eight point four million in settlement of survivor claims
outside the Epstein Victims Compensation Fund according to the most
recent probate account filings. So there are hundreds, literally hundreds
of cases pending, and a lot of these girls, at
least a handful of them anyway, decided not to use
the compensation fund. So there are all of those lawsuits
(15:02):
pending as well. And as we see here, eight point
four million in settlements to survivors have been paid through
the period of April first to June thirtieth of this year,
according to the numbers that we're getting here. Putting aside
that the estate has been in operation for close to
three years, the government chooses to ignore that the reduction
(15:23):
in the estate's value is not only expected in common
but necessary to comply with the law in the form
of over one hundred and eighty million in various taxes
in multiple jurisdictions, and to compensate those who claim mister
Epstein sexually abused them those who claim, huh, how about
those who were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein. Don't play
(15:44):
games with your words here, mister Kroblin. The estate has
already taken liability and accepted liability for this abuse don't
stay alleged in the form of over one hundred and
fifty million paid to claimants through the u Epstein Victims
Compensation Fund or other settlements, Kroblin wrote. Further, Croblin wrote,
(16:07):
all other reductions in value are a result of either
expenditures inspected by the Special Master in Ernst and Young
and reviewed and approved by the Attorney General, or changes
in property values based upon date of death independent real
estate appraisals as compared to initial evaluations done on a
cost basis as reflected in the estate's quarterly accountings. So
(16:32):
it's more of the same. You have the estate saying
one thing, and then you have the Attorney General's Office
of the Virgin Island saying something completely different. So I say,
to hell with all of it, and let's see a real,
full on reco case here, not a seak O case,
and let's really get to the bottom of this once
and for all. If you'd like to contact me, you

you are having a good morning.
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.

and technicalities, right, And it's been a tried and true
strategy for the Epstein criminal organization for this whole entire run.
Might as well keep it up. The government said in
(14:18):
a previous filing that the estate's value has plummeted over
seventy five percent in two years. The bulk of the
estate's remaining assets are nearly one hundred and twenty million
in legal entities Epstein owned, and there is nearly twenty
two million in cash on hand. For the period of
April first to June thirtieth of this year, the estate
(14:38):
paid eight point four million in settlement of survivor claims
outside the Epstein Victims Compensation Fund according to the most
recent probate account filings. So there are hundreds, literally hundreds
of cases pending, and a lot of these girls, at
least a handful of them anyway, decided not to use
the compensation fund. So there are all of those lawsuits
(15:02):
pending as well. And as we see here, eight point
four million in settlements to survivors have been paid through
the period of April first to June thirtieth of this year,
according to the numbers that we're getting here. Putting aside
that the estate has been in operation for close to
three years, the government chooses to ignore that the reduction
(15:23):
in the estate's value is not only expected in common
but necessary to comply with the law in the form
of over one hundred and eighty million in various taxes
in multiple jurisdictions, and to compensate those who claim mister
Epstein sexually abused them those who claim, huh, how about
those who were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein. Don't play
(15:44):
games with your words here, mister Kroblin. The estate has
already taken liability and accepted liability for this abuse don't
stay alleged in the form of over one hundred and
fifty million paid to claimants through the u Epstein Victims
Compensation Fund or other settlements, Kroblin wrote. Further, Croblin wrote,
(16:07):
all other reductions in value are a result of either
expenditures inspected by the Special Master in Ernst and Young
and reviewed and approved by the Attorney General, or changes
in property values based upon date of death independent real
estate appraisals as compared to initial evaluations done on a
cost basis as reflected in the estate's quarterly accountings. So
(16:32):
it's more of the same. You have the estate saying
one thing, and then you have the Attorney General's Office
of the Virgin Island saying something completely different. So I say,
to hell with all of it, and let's see a real,
full on reco case here, not a seak O case,
and let's really get to the bottom of this once
and for all. If you'd like to contact me, you

be back with a little bit more. Hope all of
you are having a good morning.
