New Mexico’s attorney general has filed a lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein’s attorney, Darren Indyke, and his accountant, Richard Kahn, alleging they facilitated and concealed Epstein’s crimes at his Zorro Ranch. The lawsuit seeks to prevent them from receiving estate payments while the litigation proceeds.

What happened

• The New Mexico Attorney General, Raúl Torrez, has filed a civil lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime attorney, Darren Indyke, and his accountant, Richard Kahn, accusing them of concealing Epstein’s sex trafficking operation at the Zorro Ranch in Stanley, New Mexico.
• The lawsuit alleges that Indyke and Kahn "facilitated and concealed" Epstein’s crimes, enabling a network of associates to support his activities.
• Indyke worked as Epstein’s attorney for approximately two decades, and Kahn served as his accountant for over ten years.
• Both men testified in Congress stating they were unaware of Epstein’s abuse.
• Torrez stated that "Jeffrey Epstein did not operate alone, and his death does not end the pursuit of accountability for the people who helped make his crimes possible."
• The lawsuit seeks to prevent Indyke and Kahn from receiving payments from Epstein’s estate, estimated at over $100 million, arguing that these resources should be directed towards survivors of Epstein’s abuse.
• The investigation, reopened this year by Torrez, focuses on alleged illegal activity at the ranch and the state’s failure to investigate Epstein’s offenses adequately.
• Witnesses have described a complex network of companies used to manage Epstein’s finances and facilitate sham marriages involving victims of his abuse.
