USVI's Bid To Sue Jeffrey Epstein Estate For Racketeering Gains Ground

NEW YORK — A federal judge on Wednesday handed a partial victory to U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George, who is pursuing a civil racketeering complaint against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, partially granting her access to an ongoing civil lawsuit that involves the disgraced financier and close associates.

USVI Attorney General George brought a civil enforcement action against the Epstein estate in January, calling it an ongoing criminal enterprise. She went on to identify the two executors to the estate — Epstein lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn — as alleged co-conspirators.

Epstein, who had homes in Palm Beach, Manhattan, Paris and New Mexico, also maintained an estate on Little Saint James Island off the coast of St. Thomas. He also owned a second private island nearby called Great Saint James Island.

George asked U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska on September 1 to grant the territory intervenor status, allowing for confidential access to materials filed under seal with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
