Epstein’s attorney Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn accused of ‘facilitating and concealing’ his crimes in civil lawsuit brought by New Mexico AG
The attorney general of New Mexico on Wednesday filed a civil lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime attorney, Darren Indyke, and Epstein’s longtime accountant, Richard Kahn, accusing them of having “facilitated and concealed” Epstein’s crimes, and is seeking to stop them from being paid by Epstein’s estate while the litigation plays out.
The lawsuit, filed in the US district court for the district of New Mexico, names Kahn and Indyke as defendants both in their individual capacity, and in their capacity as co-executors of Epstein’s estate. The complaint also names Epstein’s estate, and the 1953 Trust, which holds the estate’s assets.
“Epstein, with the help of his associates, trafficked, isolated, and abused survivors at alluring locations” including at Epstein’s ranch in Stanley, New Mexico, known as Zorro Ranch, the complaint claims. It goes on to allege that “in exchange for furthering Epstein’s criminal project and remaining silent about it, his associates received generous salaries, access to elite social circles, and lavish gifts, including being named beneficiaries of his multimillion-dollar estate”.
Among the demands the lawsuit seeks is a court order preventing Indyke and Kahn from receiving estate payments while the case proceeds.

So that's why Trump came out with the 'New America' bullshit.
Yes, exactly. If you look at the dates, the "New America" thing started right when it became public that the New Mexico AG was forced to sue the DoJ to get the unredacted Zorro Ranch documents out of the feds because Todd Blanche was being obstructive, I mean like within a day of that.
This is a huge deal: without Indyke and Kahn, Epstein could never have done what he did. They took care of the money. They hold the secrets. And the New Mexico AG just got between them and their part of the estate.
These two men, along with Karyna Shuliak, are also the primary beneficiaries of Epstein's will and are, even now, trustees of Epstein's remaining assets: this suit is seeking an injunction against any further payments being made to them by the estate for the duration of the proceedings..
This suit is also a first shot at shining public light on specific abuses that occurred at Zorro Ranch, as this is being filed by the state of New Mexico and the discovery process will almost certainly require new disclosures about specifically what occurred in that state.
New Mexico is badass
It is indeed.
