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 is scheduled to testify before the committee on March 19, 2026.
He also holds the position of trustee of the Butterfly Trust, one of the primary vehicles through which Epstein financial assets were held.

Background
Darren K. Indyke is a New York-based attorney who operated through his law firm Darren K. Indyke PLLC. He served as Jeffrey Epstein's personal lawyer from at least the early 2000s onward, managing Epstein's trusts, corporate entities, and complex financial structures. His law firm maintained accounts at Deutsche Bank alongside numerous Epstein-related entities, and he held signatory authority and power-of-attorney roles across multiple Epstein accounts and corporate vehicles.
Indyke served as an officer or director of several Epstein-affiliated entities, including Southern Trust Company, Inc., a U.S. Virgin Islands corporation whose board resolutions he oversaw. He was listed in Epstein's black book with five phone numbers, indicating a deep and longstanding professional relationship. Documents show him communicating with Deutsche Bank personnel and directing financial transactions on Epstein's behalf, including wire transfers and asset movements.
Following Epstein's death on August 10, 2019, Indyke was named co-executor of Epstein's estate alongside accountant Richard Kahn pursuant to a will signed just two days prior. The U.S. Virgin Islands subsequently filed suit against Indyke in 2020, and the case settled in November 2022 for $105 million with no admission of wrongdoing. Indyke was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee and scheduled for a closed-door deposition in March 2026.
Epstein Connection
Indyke was Jeffrey Epstein's personal attorney and primary legal architect of his financial empire. He held power of attorney over Epstein's Deutsche Bank accounts, served as a director of Southern Trust Company, Inc. in the U.S. Virgin Islands, managed corporate entities such as JEGE LLC and Southern Financial LLC, and directed wire transfers and asset movements on Epstein's behalf. His law firm Darren K. Indyke PLLC maintained its own account at Deutsche Bank within the same relationship cluster as Epstein's personal and entity accounts. He was named co-executor of Epstein's estate in the will signed August 8, 2019. A 2015 newspaper article documented that Indyke purchased property on East 65th Street in New York in 2010 that was subsequently converted into apartments, one of which became Ghislaine Maxwell's residence.
