New Mexico is asking a federal judge to prevent Jeffrey Epstein estate co-executors Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn from receiving up to $75 million while the state's civil case proceeds.
Attorney General Raúl Torrez filed the complaint Oct. 21, accusing the men of knowingly helping finance and conceal Epstein's sex-trafficking operation. The filing names them individually and as administrators of Epstein's 1953 Trust; it also names the estate and trust as defendants. The allegations have not been adjudicated.
The complaint lists possible bequests of $50 million for Indyke and $25 million for Kahn, each dependent on available funds. It cites a public accounting for the period ending June 30, 2026, that valued the estate at more than $107 million.
For 2011 to 2019, the complaint tallies payments from Epstein and related entities at more than $16 million for Indyke and more than $10 million for Kahn. It says cash taken from Epstein's accounts exceeded $6 million between 2002 and 2013, by Epstein or people acting for him. New Mexico also alleges Indyke repeatedly asked Deutsche Bank bankers how withdrawals could avoid government alerts.
The state brings claims under the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act and the New Mexico Racketeering Act. It seeks to halt estate distributions during the case and requests survivor damages and restitution, recovery of alleged gains and treble damages under state law.
Their attorney, Dan Weiner, told The Associated Press that they deny knowingly facilitating Epstein’s abuse. He said, “Not a single woman has ever accused Mr. Indyke or Mr. Kahn of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse.” Weiner also said state officials did not ask to interview the men before filing. The New Mexico Department of Justice says its separate criminal investigation is ongoing.
Source New Mexico reported that Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou said at a news conference, “It could not have continued as long as it did without people facilitating it.”
Separately, a proposed settlement in a New York class action involving the co-executors is scheduled for a fairness hearing Dec. 2, 2026, at 2 p.m. EST. The agreement provides for $35 million if at least 40 eligible class members qualify, or $25 million if fewer qualify, and says the co-executors do not admit liability or wrongdoing.
