Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have opened a new investigation targeting two men who spent years managing Jeffrey Epstein's affairs — and now oversee his estate.
The Justice Department has launched a probe into Darren Indyke, Epstein's longtime lawyer, and Richard Kahn, his accountant, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited people familiar with the matter.
Both men now serve as executors of Epstein's estate.
Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have reportedly spent recent months "scheduling interviews with potential witnesses and have requested documents about their dealings with Indyke, Epstein’s lawyer, and Kahn, his accountant," the Journal reported on Wednesday.
People interviewed described Kahn's and Indyke's roles in legal entities allegedly used to "conceal Epstein's conduct," along with their handling of financial and legal matters involving young women — though the Journal couldn't determine what charges, if any, are being explored.
Indyke and Kahn have long denied wrongdoing, according to the report.
Testifying before the House Oversight Committee in March, Indyke stated in his prepared remarks: "My complete lack of involvement in that misconduct is a matter of record: not a single woman has ever accused me of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse, nor claimed at any time that she or anyone else reported to me any allegation of Mr. Epstein's abuse."
A lawyer for Kahn referred back to the men's prior denials; a lawyer for Indyke didn't respond to the Journal's request for comment. A spokesperson for the U.S. attorney's office declined to comment.
