Overview
- Federal prosecutors in Manhattan began requesting documents and arranging witness interviews on Wednesday as part of a new SDNY probe into Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn.
- Indyke is Epstein’s longtime lawyer and Kahn his longtime accountant, and both have served as co-executors who manage the estate and its payouts to survivors.
- Reporting that prompted the inquiry described the men as officers of Epstein-linked entities that allegedly obscured transactions, arranged cash and handled payments to women, though the exact charges under review are not known.
- Indyke and Kahn deny wrongdoing, say they have not been subpoenaed or told they are targets, and have given testimony and depositions in multiple civil and congressional inquiries.
- The probe comes as the estate has paid more than $120 million to survivors and faces ongoing civil suits and congressional requests, a development that could push for more record sharing and legal accountability if prosecutors find new evidence.
