Two men now control Epstein's estate and its secrets

Mar 11th 2026

Richard Kahn and Darren Indyke were named co-executors days before Jeffrey Epstein died and now control his trust, survivor compensation and thousands of documents while facing congressional subpoenas and allegations about their role in his financial and corporate affairs.

  • Kahn and Indyke were named co-executors two days before Epstein's death and manage the trust holding his assets.
  • They approved victim compensation programs that paid at least $169 million and agreed to up to $35 million more for other claimants.
  • Court filings allege the men had signatory authority over Epstein accounts, received millions in payments, and helped run corporations investigators say sheltered trafficking, claims they deny.
  • FBI documents say Kahn removed materials from Epstein's safe during a 2019 raid, though he later handed over suitcases and has not been publicly charged.
  • The co-executors have provided thousands of pages to the House Oversight Committee and are scheduled to testify under subpoena.
  • Both men deny criminal conduct and no criminal charges have been filed against either of them
