Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer Adam Silverstein and accountant Stuart Scheinkman over their control of Epstein's estate and financial dealings after his death. The investigation follows congressional inquiries into the pair’s handling of Epstein-linked bank accounts and transactions, including potential involvement with young women in suspicious financial activities. Prosecutors have sought emails and financial records from both men as part of this inquiry, though specific charges are not yet known.

Story summary
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are reportedly investigating Jeffrey Epstein's longtime lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn, who now manage his estate. This probe follows congressional investigators focusing on the two men’s authority over Epstein-linked bank accounts and transactions at JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank. The investigation includes contacting potential witnesses and requesting emails and financial records related to the pair. While Indyke and Kahn have previously denied knowledge of Epstein's sex trafficking, federal prosecutors are looking into their involvement with entities that may have obscured transactions or arranged cash for Epstein. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan declined immediate comment on the matter.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are reportedly investigating late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime lawyer and accountant — the two men who took control of his estate after his death and could collect tens of millions of dollars from a trust holding his remaining assets.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Manhattan federal prosecutors have recently sought emails and financial records involving the pair and have been contacting potential witnesses as part of the inquiry.

It was not known which possible offenses investigators are examining, according to the Journal.

The renewed federal scrutiny is notable because neither Indyke nor Kahn was questioned about their work for Epstein during the Manhattan investigations that led to sex-trafficking charges against Epstein and later Ghislaine Maxwell, the Journal previously reported.

Earlier this year, both men testified under subpoena before the House Oversight Committee as lawmakers examined the government’s handling of the Epstein case.

Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida in 2008 to felony solicitation of prostitution and procurement of minors to engage in prostitution, receiving an 18-month county-jail sentence and later registering as a sex offender.
asserted
Epstein → plead → offender
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan charged him in 2019 with sex-trafficking conspiracy and sex trafficking of minors, alleging he recruited and paid underage girls — some as young as 14 — for sexual encounters and paid some victims to recruit others.

Epstein pleaded not guilty and died by suicide in jail before the case went to trial, so those federal allegations were never adjudicated.
