Attorneys for the estate of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein told a judge in the U.S. Virgin Islands that they are 'extraordinarily close' to resolving a civil case filed against the late financier's estate.
The estate, which filed a motion to dismiss the government's lawsuit in 2020, has so far refused to engage in any pretrial exchanges of documents with the government, arguing that it would be wasteful and unnecessary to do so until a court rules on its motion to dismiss the claims.
Daniel Weiner, an attorney for the co-executors, told ABC News by email in 2021 that Indyke and Kahn"categorically reject the allegations of misconduct made for the first time today by the Attorney General of the Virgin Islands regarding their purported roles in the so-called 'Epstein Enterprise.'" "We are absolutely concerned that in the end, there will be no money left for the people of the Virgin Islands," she said.
In a statement to ABC News, George declined to comment on the status of negotiations, but said the government is"determined, among other things, to address tax benefits that Epstein fraudulently obtained from the Government and People of the Virgin Islands and to protect assets for Epstein victims who may not have resolved their civil claims."
