Jeffrey Epstein's estate has agreed to pay as much as $35 million to resolve a class action lawsuit that accused two [Epstein] advisers of aiding and abetting his sex trafficking of young women and teenage girls...The deal, if approved by a judge, would bring an end to a 2024 lawsuit filed against Epstein's former personal lawyer Darren Indyke and former accountant Richard Kahn, who are co-executors of Epstein's estate.

As of today, Virginia Giuffre is still the only woman who publicly claimed she had under age sex with Jeffrey Epstein and was trafficked to Epstein friends.

Before his death, in 2019, Epstein paid off about 50 anonymous women, but admitted no guilt.

Since his death, the Epstein Estate has paid off about 100 more anonymous women.

Epstein's personal attorney and personal accountant (co-executors of the Epstein Estate) also admit no guilt.

JP Morgan Bank and Deutsche Bank - sued as financial agents for Epstein - paid out about $365 million to about 100 of those anonymous women.

Total payments to the 150 anonymous women are estimated in the $400-$500 million range.

Re: "I can't believe there is an "Epstein Estate!""

$600-$650 million - before law suits.

Either Epstein was a financial wizard - or - USA federal agencies dumped truck loads of cash in his front yard.

Since Epstein was a math prodigy, I am willing to believe that he was a financial prodigy, as well.

I have no idea what MTG said, and I do not care.

Every thing I write comes from a published news source.

Challenge any fact you like, and I will send you a link.

$35 million is a pretty good pay day for the lawyers. I hear the victims are getting pretty good gift certificates to Dunkin. They’ll be eating breakfast free for a week at least.

almost all of the evil cited is between consenting adults...very creepy, probably unpleasant for the girls who essentially sold themselves into prostitution...but surprisingly very little that deserves all this attention. Everyone involved look like common grifters and perverts, yawn...

Other young hookers reap more cash.

All these settlements and Maxwell’s conviction for trafficking, Epstein’s previous convictions.

Yet there have been no convictions of the “clients” to which these girls (and boys?) were trafficked.

Screw this crap about “millions of pages of documents,” we want to know what happened to the video recordings and pictures that apparently went missing under the Obama & Biden administrations . . .

Haven’t you heard??? AG Bondi is doing a coverup of information the democrats hid about all that went on during the Obama Biden regime. She is to blame for what they did 20 years ago with all these prostitutes. Or something like that. It’s hard to keep up with the conspiracy kooks.

Epstein did give her money at various stages of financial need, lol. She may have nothing left to peddle except her “story.”
