The development is particularly striking because Indyke and Kahn are not simply former advisers.
They are also the executors of Epstein’s estate.
And potentially enormous sums of money are involved.
Epstein’s Executors Could Receive Tens of Millions
Epstein signed his final will shortly before his death in federal custody in August 2019, naming Indyke and Kahn as executors.
The pair subsequently assumed responsibility for administering an estate that once contained hundreds of millions of dollars in assets.
According to the Journal’s reporting, documents indicate Indyke could eventually receive as much as $50 million, while Kahn could receive $25 million.
That means the two longtime Epstein advisers now reportedly attracting the attention of federal investigators could collectively receive up to $75 million from the estate they administer.
No criminal charges have been filed against either man, and the existence of an investigation does not establish wrongdoing.
Still, prosecutors are reportedly seeking information about exactly what happened inside Epstein’s complicated financial and legal operation before his death. Investigators have been pursuing witness interviews along with emails and financial records, according to reports.
The inquiry reportedly includes questions about entities connected to Epstein and financial or legal dealings involving women.
Both men have denied wrongdoing.
A Justice Department spokesperson summarized the government’s position this way:
“We have always said with regard to Epstein that if the evidence presents itself, we will investigate.”
Congress Already Put Epstein’s Accountant Under Oath
The federal scrutiny follows another major examination of Epstein’s financial operation on Capitol Hill.
Kahn appeared for a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on March 11, 2026. Indyke followed on March 19. The committee later publicly released videos of both depositions.
During his testimony, Kahn maintained that he did not understand what Epstein was doing to women while working for him.
“I was not aware of the nature or extent of Epstein’s abuse of so many women until after Epstein’s death.”
Kahn also addressed Epstein’s practice of giving money or gifts to people around him.
He characterized those payments as “a very small fraction of Epstein’s spending” and maintained that he “did not see them as red flags for abuse or trafficking.”
Kahn similarly said he would have stopped working for Epstein had he known what was happening.
“Had I learned of any of his horrific behavior, I would have quit work immediately.”
Those claims now sit alongside a growing collection of financial records, congressional testimony, civil litigation, and investigative reporting surrounding Epstein’s operation.
Kahn Identified Major Names Connected to Epstein’s Business
Congress was also interested in a basic question that has followed the Epstein scandal for years:
Where did his money come from?
During the congressional investigation, Kahn discussed wealthy individuals and families connected to Epstein’s financial business, including Les Wexner, Glenn Dubin, Steven Sinofsky, Leon Black and the Rothschild family.
The appearance of a name in Epstein’s business records does not itself imply criminal conduct, and the individuals discussed in connection with Kahn’s testimony have not been charged merely for conducting business with Epstein.
But investigators trying to reconstruct Epstein’s operation inevitably have to follow the money.
The House Oversight investigation had already identified at least 64 entities affiliated with Epstein, according to Chairman James Comer.
That sprawling financial structure is one reason the roles of Epstein’s lawyer and accountant have attracted so much attention.
Epstein’s Financial Network Has Already Produced Massive Settlements
The financial institutions and entities surrounding Epstein have faced years of civil litigation.
JPMorgan Chase agreed in 2023 to pay $290 million to settle a lawsuit brought on behalf of Epstein victims who alleged that the bank facilitated his operation. The bank did not admit liability as part of that settlement.
Epstein’s estate also reached a settlement exceeding $105 million with the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2022.
Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in federal court for her role in recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein and received a 20-year prison sentence.
Those cases intensified questions about the infrastructure surrounding Epstein.
A man controlling that much money did not operate without attorneys, accountants, banks, corporations, employees and financial transactions.
That does not mean everyone who worked with Epstein participated in his crimes.
But it does explain why investigators continue examining the machinery around him.
The Money Trail Is Back Under the Microscope
For Indyke and Kahn, the latest development could become one of the most consequential chapters yet.
They helped handle Epstein’s legal and financial affairs. They became executors of his estate. They have dealt with the financial aftermath of his crimes. And according to the Journal, they could ultimately receive millions from that estate.
Now federal prosecutors reportedly want a closer look at what happened while Epstein was still alive.
The unanswered question is no longer simply how Jeffrey Epstein accumulated his fortune.
It is how the financial and legal structure surrounding that fortune operated for so long — and what the professionals closest to it actually knew.
Indyke and Kahn maintain they did nothing wrong.
Federal prosecutors have not charged either man.
But after years of lawsuits, congressional investigations and document releases, investigators are once again following the part of the Epstein story that may leave the clearest paper trail of all:
The money.
