The House Oversight Committee is finally deposing Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accountant, the man who managed the financial infrastructure that survivors say enabled decades of sex traffickingβyet the FBI and DOJ never bothered to question him during their investigations.
Story Snapshot
- Richard Kahn, Epstein’s accountant for over a decade, testifies on March 11 after years of federal investigators ignoring him
- Kahn and lawyer Darren Indyke stand to inherit $75 million from Epstein’s estate while denying any wrongdoing
- Five Democratic Senators called the FBI and DOJ’s failure to question these key figures “inexcusable” and “a failure of this magnitude”
- Survivors identified Kahn as “personally essential” to Epstein’s operation, managing the complex financial web that facilitated crimes
The Money Men Behind Epstein’s Empire
Richard Kahn managed Jeffrey Epstein’s multimillion-dollar fortune for more than ten years, overseeing everything from shell companies to renovations on Epstein’s private Caribbean island. Alongside attorney Darren Indyke, Kahn was designated co-executor of Epstein’s estate just two days before his death in August 2019.
Together, these two men controlled the operational core of Epstein’s financial empire, yet somehow escaped scrutiny from federal investigators who prosecuted Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Their March depositions represent the first time Congress will formally question them about their roles.

Federal Law Enforcement’s Inexcusable Oversight
The Department of Justice and FBI never questioned Kahn or Indyke during their investigations into Epstein and Maxwell, a stunning omission that five Democratic Senators recently called out in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.
The Senators stated this failure “cannot be attributed to simple oversight or misunderstanding,” suggesting deeper problems with how federal investigators approached the case. Survivors and their attorneys had identified these men as critical witnesses, yet the previous administration’s law enforcement agencies inexplicably ignored them.
This raises serious questions about accountability and whether political connections shielded certain figures from scrutiny.
Following the Money Trail
The Epstein files released by Congress revealed a sophisticated network of interconnected companies, shell corporations, and bank accounts that Kahn and Indyke managed.
Internal banking communications and personal emails show the pair kept close tabs on Epstein’s finances, structuring accounts and managing cash withdrawals that survivors’ attorneys say were essential to the sex-trafficking operation.
Kahn and Indyke recently settled a civil lawsuit alleging they facilitated sham marriages for immigration purposes involving Epstein’s victims, though the settlement included no admission of wrongdoing and will be paid from Epstein’s trust rather than their personal assets.
Profiting from Evil While Denying Responsibility
Despite their central roles in managing Epstein’s financial affairs, Kahn stands to inherit twenty-five million dollars from the estate while Indyke is set to receive fifty million. Their legal representation maintains that allegations against them are false, emphasizing that neither man has been accused of committing or witnessing sexual abuse.
However, this defense misses the point entirely. Survivors and their advocates argue these men were the operational architects who created the financial infrastructure that made Epstein’s crimes possible, regardless of whether they personally witnessed abuse.
The committee’s depositions, scheduled as closed-door sessions with recordings released afterward, may finally provide answers about how professional enablers facilitated evil.
Just Like Watergate

The investigation has already had international ramifications, with British authorities arresting Prince Andrew and former ambassador Peter Mandelson following revelations from the Epstein files.
As Congress continues deposing Epstein’s inner circle following testimony from Bill Clinton and Les Wexner, these March depositions of Kahn and Indyke represent a critical opportunity to understand how wealth and professional services were weaponized to enable human trafficking. The American people deserve transparency about how this network operated for decades and why federal investigators failed to pursue obvious leads.
