577 MILLION is GONE!
Deceased financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein Opens a New Window. likely made it that much harder on his alleged victims to obtain any of his assets in civil litigation.
That is because -- two days before he hung himself on August 10th in the Metropolitan Correctional Center Opens a New Window. in New York City while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges -- Epstein executed a will and put his more than $577 million in assets into a trust that was filed in the U.S. Virgin Islands (where he owned two islands, called Great Saint James and Little Saint James). And as a result of that, experts believe his accusers will now have to potentially spend a great deal of time, effort, and money to obtain any of Epstein's estate for the crimes he allegedly committed against them.
