Federal authorities investigating attorney, accountant linked to Epstein’s estate, source says - NBC News

Federal authorities have opened an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's former attorney, Darren Indyke, and accountant, Richard Kahn, according to a senior law enforcement official who spoke to NBC News on September 23, 2026.
Indyke and Kahn serve as administrators and executors of Epstein's estate, and witness interviews have been ongoing, though the official could not confirm potential charges, allegations, or a timeline.
The Justice Department declined to confirm or deny the probe, stating it would investigate Epstein-related matters "if the evidence presents itself," while the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York also declined to comment.
Daniel Ruzumna, an attorney for the pair, said his clients have not been subpoenaed, asked to speak with prosecutors, or told they are subjects or targets, adding that the investigation's focus and scope remain unclear.
Ruzumna cited documents from the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which President Donald Trump signed last year, arguing prosecutors did not consider Indyke and Kahn among Epstein's potential co-conspirators during the 2018-2019 investigation.
Epstein died by suicide in 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges; Indyke and Kahn have testified before the House Oversight Committee and given depositions in multiple related lawsuits, and Ruzumna said no one has accused them of abuse or trafficking.
