Background

New York attorney (Darren K. Indyke, PLLC) who served as Jeffrey Epstein personal lawyer from at least the 1990s onward, managing his trusts, corporate entities, and tax-sensitive financial structures. Named co-executor of Epstein estate alongside accountant Richard Kahn in a will signed August 8, 2019, two days before Epstein death.

Held signatory authority on numerous Epstein bank accounts and played a central role in maintaining the financial infrastructure that supported Epstein operations across multiple jurisdictions. In February 2024, a class-action lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court against Indyke and Kahn by Epstein survivors, alleging facilitation, participation, and concealment of Epstein illegal conduct for their own financial gain. The complaint did not allege either man directly participated in sexual exploitation.

In February 2026, a proposed settlement was announced under which the Epstein estate would pay between 25 million and 35 million dollars to qualifying survivors, with the amount depending on the number of class members who meet eligibility requirements. Neither Indyke nor Kahn admitted any wrongdoing as part of the settlement; their attorney stated they agreed to settle to achieve finality rather than contest claims they denied. The settlement is pending court approval.

Indyke was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into the federal handling of the Epstein case and testified before the committee on March 19, 2026, saying he did not know of Epstein's crimes beyond his 2008 guilty plea. He also holds the position of trustee of the Butterfly Trust, one of the primary vehicles through which Epstein financial assets were held. NEW MEXICO LAWSUIT: On October 21, 2026, New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez sued Indyke and Richard Kahn in federal court (D.N.M.

No. 1:26-cv-03543) under the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act and the New Mexico Racketeering Act. The complaint alleges they financed and concealed Epstein's trafficking, including at Zorro Ranch, where it says Indyke was secretary of Zorro Development Corp. and a signatory on its bank account from 2016 to 2019, and asks the court to block distributions from the estate, valued at over $107 million, while the case proceeds.

Indyke's lawyers said he and Kahn "emphatically reject" the allegations.
