Accountants Were Core To Epstein's Operation

Deposition Could Reveal Payment Trails
The closed-door deposition of Kahn could reveal how Epstein paid for his lifestyle and funded victims, potentially exposing transactional evidence.
Capucci stresses the deposition may be limited because alleged participants often deny wrongdoing and Congress may be performative.

The House Oversight Committee is preparing to depose Richard Kahn, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accountant, as part of its expanding congressional investigation into how Epstein managed and protected his wealth while allegedly operating a years-long sex-trafficking network. Kahn worked for Epstein for more than a decade and helped oversee the financier’s complex financial structure, including trusts, shell entities, and other mechanisms that managed Epstein’s multimillion-dollar fortune. Lawmakers believe questioning Kahn could provide insight into how Epstein funded his operations, moved money through various accounts, and maintained financial secrecy while facing mounting allegations of abuse. The committee has indicated that Kahn’s knowledge of Epstein’s financial infrastructure may help clarify whether money flows or financial arrangements enabled or concealed the broader trafficking enterprise.
The deposition is part of a broader congressional effort to map Epstein’s network of associates, advisers, and financial managers who may have played roles in his personal and business affairs. Kahn, along with Epstein’s longtime attorney Darren Indyke, previously served as co-executors of Epstein’s estate after his death in 2019 and has faced civil lawsuits from victims alleging they helped facilitate or conceal Epstein’s illegal activities, accusations both men deny. A settlement in one of those lawsuits was later reached using funds from Epstein’s estate without admissions of wrongdoing. Lawmakers say questioning individuals who handled Epstein’s finances is essential to understanding how his wealth was managed, who may have benefited from it, and whether financial professionals helped maintain the structures that allowed Epstein’s activities to continue for years.
