Epstein's Executors Propose Compensation for Victims of Up to R$ 182 Million
The executors of Jeffrey Epstein's estate are proposing to pay up to $35 million (equivalent to R$ 182 million) to settle pending legal actions from dozens of alleged victims.
The executors of Jeffrey Epstein's will have put forward a proposal to the courts in New York to compensate alleged victims with a total of up to $35 million, which translates to approximately R$ 182 million. This move aims to resolve multiple ongoing lawsuits filed by women who have claimed they were sexually assaulted, abused, or trafficked by Epstein within the timeframe from January 1, 1995, to August 10, 2019, the date of his death in prison.
Under the terms of the proposed settlement, if there are at least 40 eligible claimants, the full amount of $35 million will be distributed, but if fewer people are eligible, the total payout would decrease to $25 million (R$ 130 million). The agreement still requires acceptance from the victims and must be confirmed by a federal judge in New York before it can be finalized.
This development comes in the wake of Epstein's criminal activities and the numerous allegations against him, which led to his incarceration and eventual death. The financial settlement not only reflects an attempt to provide some compensation to the victims but also serves to mitigate further legal battles around Epstein's estate, which has been mired in complex litigation since his passing.
