Jeffrey Epstein planned to distribute his considerable wealth among an array of friends, family, employees and associates, according to files released.
Jeffrey Epstein planned to distribute his considerable wealth among an array of friends, family, employees and associates upon his death, according to the files the Justice Department released Friday.
The late sex offender's trust agreement, which has not been made public before, details how more than a quarter billion dollars, plus his sundry properties across the globe, would be doled out to at least 44 beneficiaries when he died.
Epstein executed and signed the will on Aug. 8, 2019 — two days before he would be found dead by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell.
The document was later signed by his longtime lawyer Darren Indyke, eight days after his death on Aug. 18, 2019. His accountant, Richard Kahn, signed it the next day.
Although about $288 million, as well as a collection of international properties, were to be parceled out — what remains of Epstein's estate is far from enough to fulfill that plan. According to the estate's latest publicly available accounting, filed in the U.S. Virgin Island probate courts, there was $127 million left. That total remains tied up in the USVI courts.
