Richard Kahn
Case Notes
Epstein estate co-executor; subpoenaed for House Oversight deposition (Feb 2026)
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Richard Kahn, Epstein's longtime accountant since 2005, agreed to a settlement of at least $25 million (up to $35 million depending on class size) to resolve a class action lawsuit filed by survivors of Epstein's abuse. The settlement was reached without any admission of wrongdoing by Kahn or his co-executor Darren Indyke. The complaint alleged that Kahn and Indyke facilitated Epstein's sex trafficking operation by structuring bank accounts to enable cash access for trafficking purposes, organizing sham marriages for foreign victims, and concealing the enterprise for financial gain. Kahn has consistently denied any knowledge of or role in Epstein's sexual abuse or trafficking operations. The settlement was funded from Epstein's estate assets rather than directly from Kahn, pending judicial approval. Kahn has been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee and is scheduled to testify regarding the federal government's handling of Epstein investigations.
