What happens to Jeffrey Epstein’s money now that he’s dead?
While Epstein’s will left his assets in a private trust for his brother, Mark, it’s possible that his victims could pursue civil cases against his estate for the money. Lisa Bloom, a lawyer for some of the women who went to trial against Epstein, has called for the administrators of Epstein’s estate to freeze his assets and allocate funds to his victims.
“I am calling today for the administrators of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate to freeze all his assets and hold them for his victims who are filing civil cases,” the lawyer wrote on Twitter in 2019. “Their lives have been shattered by his sexual assaults, their careers derailed. They deserve full and fair compensation NOW.”
