This article is from ABCNews.go.com the author of the article is James Hill. Headline Survivor's Attorney Accuses Epstein Estate of Attempts to Stonewall Lawsuit an attorney for a woman who claims to be the first known child sex abuse survivor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is accusing the legal team representing Epstein's estate of withholding evidence and attempting to prevent the testimony of a key witness of according to a letter sent to the judge overseeing her lawsuit on Wednesday that should shock nobody. Like I just said in the opening statement, Darren Indyke and Kahn both should be nowhere near this case. And I have a funny feeling that if prosecution pursues this case the way that they should, in a very robust and aggressive manner, that then they could have they have no other choice but to bring Indyke in as well for questioning. At the very least under oath. This man was involved in all sorts of financial transactions for Epstein and the rest of these morons. So he was facilitating a money laundering ring. How is he still part of the estate? How is he acting as an executor? This behavior flies in the face of fairness, professionalism and much needed justice, wrote Robert Glassman, the lawyer for the accuser who filed the suit under the pseudonym Jane Doe. According to the letter, attorneys for the estate have failed to turn over a single page of evidence in the three months since being served with pretrial requests. That's what they've done from the beginning in this case. When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and the people that are in his circle or were in his circle, they have attempted to delay, they have attempted to muddy the waters and they have attempted to drag their feet every single step of the way and you see that same strategy continuing here and they're attempting to get away with it again. Lets hope that they get a taste of reality like their good friend Ghislaine did. The estate missed a previously agreed upon deadline to begin producing documents in the possession of the estate that contained Doe's name and information, Glassman wrote. And he claimed they abruptly called off a scheduled deposition of Darren Indyke, one of the estate's co executors and a longtime lawyer for Epstein and his affiliated companies. More than that friend confidant, not somebody that's just has a business relationship with him, just a working relationship. As much as I think Epstein is the scum of the earth, I believe that everybody is entitled to legal defense, right? But this went way beyond that. This is a man who was facilitating things for Jeffrey Epstein by participating in the financial crimes the Estate is engaging in obstructionist litigation tactics intended to stonewall and deprive Jane Doe of plainly relevant discovery. Glassman wrote in asking for a conference with the court. It is clear that absent court intervention, the Epstein estate will not comply with its basic discovery obligations. And again, that's par for the course with these people. They will try and do whatever they can to make sure that this goes all the way down to the 11th hour. They don't want a timely trial, they don't want to produce discovery because then their scummy ass clients will have to answer for their behavior. So let's drag our feet a little bit, let's wait longer, let's ask for a delay, all in hopes that they can somehow either A, find a loophole or, or B, find somebody to help them wiggle off the hook. Doe has already turned over more than 190 pages of documents to the estate earlier this month, according to the letter, but balked at the Estate's request for what Glassman called largely irrelevant and quite frankly, outrageous information from Doe. Glassman claimed that among the requests were documents referencing any and all medical procedures and consultations she has ever had throughout her lifetime, including while she was a minor, even if such medical care was unrelated to Jeffrey Epstein's alleged abuse of her. This is what happens when you have a guy like Darren Endyke and you have Kahn in there, okay? Indyke especially, this guy's no better than the rest of this criminal organization. In fact, he's right up there with the core four, right underneath them. In my opinion, in the command structure and in fact, in some other ways, this man would basically be the consigliere. If we want to continue with our mob talk, obviously that's what you would have to talk about this guy as, right? Something like that. Jeffrey Epstein's question guy. Hey, can I do this? What should we do about that? Hey, can I get some advice on this legal issue? And it was up to Indyke to find out how to finesse all of that. It was up to Indyke to find out how to facilitate all of that and for him participating in Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. For that reason, Darren Endyke must be subpoenaed, must testify and must be questioned. Bennett Moskowitz, a lawyer for Indyke and Richard Kahn, the estate's co executors, declined to comment on the allegations raised by Glassman's. By Glassman, when reached Wednesday by ABC News. And that's just telling right there alone. The executors of the estate had to go out and lawyer up themselves because they're such dirt bags that they know the slap back from the rubber band is on its way to crack them. These people are gross, disgusting, almost not even human. But in a response filed in court Thursday, an estate attorney called Glassman's letter very premature and a misrepresentation of what had occurred. Of course, it's always a misrepresentation. Oh, no, no, that's not what Mr. You know what, what we thought here, Mr. Khan thought here, what Mr. Indyke thought here. No, it's not. Okay. It is not a misrepresentation. These executors in this estate have made a habit of not turning over documentation when required, of making the judge force their hand and dragging their feet the whole way. The estate claims that Indyke's deposition was taken off the calendar to allow time for Maxwell's lawyer, who had just entered the case, to confer with all parties about setting new schedules and contenders, and contended that the production of documents in their possession was being held up only because Doe's lawyers had yet to agree to a confidentiality order, which must occur before we produce documents that referred to Doe, who filed this case anonymously by her real name. And I think that's something that's pretty important. That's buried in that paragraph is the fact that the estate claims that Indyke's deposition was taken off the calendar to allow time for Maxwell's lawyer, who. Who had just entered the case. Entered the case. Why was, why is Maxwell's lawyer in the case? Maybe because of the suit that she was going to bring against the estate for them to pay for her? Or is Maxwell's lawyer just pilfering around hoping to get some information to help with her defense? Every single door must be kicked in, every rock turned over, and every tree must be given a good shake when it comes to this case. That is for Mrs. That is for Doe's benefit, wrote a state lawyer, Mary Grace Metcalfe. Glassman told ABC News Thursday that he hadn't agreed to delaying Indyke's deposition and that he sees no need for a confidential confidentiality agreement to protect the identity of his client, because there is a prior court order which deals with that. And again, that's what they're trying to do. They'll try and make these assertions right when they know clearly they're not in the right, and they'll force the judge to decide. That way, they buy themselves more time, they can solidify their defenses, and they can be involved in whatever sort of sordid activities they think are going to help them behind the scenes. We're interested in taking this case to trial and getting the evidence that we need in order to prepare the case for that time. Glassman said. And it appears that they're more interested in sitting in their offices, writing letters and objecting to everything that we're trying to do. Glassman just fired them up right here with that statement. He just told the estate that he is ready to go to trial and bring this before a jury. That is the absolute worst thing for Jeffrey Epstein's associates, the worst thing for his estate, and it most certainly is not going to be a good situation for Indiker Khan. Can you imagine getting that jury summons and sitting on that jury pool and learning all of this stuff that we know, just the circumstantial stuff that we're privy to. Imagine you compound that with what the feds already know with the case that they're building and you're sitting on the jury, forget it. These dudes are in big trouble. They better figure this out and they better appease these survivors. Lawyers for the estate have previously asked the court to dismiss some of Doe's claims as beyond the statute of limitations. The lawyers for the co executors have also encouraged Doe to participate in an alternative resolution program established by the Epstein estate, which launched last month after protracted delays. Yeah, of course, like I said, they do not want discovery no matter what they say. This includes Alan Dershowitz. This includes Prince Andrew. This includes George Mitchell. This includes Bill Richardson. This includes Glenn Dubin. This includes Lex Wexner. None of these people want discovery because that is where the rubber meets the road. Do you think it's a coincidence that Ghislaine Maxwell settled out of court before discovery with with Virginia? Of course it wasn't. They all understand the stakes and they understand that if they go to discovery, it is absolute hammer time. The details in Doe's lawsuit, which was filed in January against the Epstein estate in Maxwell, are substantially similar to the allegations pertaining to one of the three minor survivors included in the federal charges against Maxwell, who was accused in a six count indictment of assisting, facilitating and contributing to Epstein's alleged abuse of three minor girls between 1994 and 1997. This is significant as well. So if the claims are as similar as they appear to be, not only is Jane Doe spearheading along with Annie, the criminal portion of Ghislaine Maxwell's downfall, she is now hammering their estate as well. So Jane Doe, if you're listening to this podcast by any off chance. Good for you. Way to stand up to your for yourself and go for the throat. Get it all. Whatever you can get out of these people, you have earned it. Get it all. Jane Doe is their first known victim and subsequently abused by Epstein and Maxwell for years as a young girl suffering unimaginable physical and psychological trauma and distress, her complaint said. I can only imagine. I can only imagine. And for people who act like, oh, it's about the money, the money is a small little part of what these, these girls are owed by these scumbags and society as a whole, if you want the truth of it. Because all of us, all of us, me included, everybody who ignored this story when it was, when it was happening originally. Well, I mean, really. And to ignore it after you know about what has occurred, I can't even imagine. But what Jane Doe suffered at the hands of these people for years, of course she deserves whatever sort of compensation is coming her way. I hope it is seven figures for all of these girls, every last one of them. And I hope that the estate is left penniless when it's all said and done. Maxwell pleaded not guilty to the charges at a hearing earlier this week and was ordered held without bail pending trial in July. Pending trial in July 2021. That trial date is set for July 12, 2021, a week after Maxwell's July 2 arrest in New Hampshire. Her attorney filed an answer to Doe's lawsuit claims, while also noting the overlap between the lawsuit and the criminal case against Maxwell in New York. And now remember, the other case in Prescott's court was also delayed for a while. So there was things going on behind the scenes that we weren't privy to. But when Maxwell got the case delayed and it was pushed back because of the criminal case, that is when you really knew the writing was on the wall and that Maxwell and the co conspirators were about to get got and the rumbling started a few weeks before the arrest. But they were there. There were some clear signs that something was occurring. Ms. Maxwell's denials of factual allegations in the endo's lawsuit and shall be interpreted the same as pleading not guilty to the various counts in any criminal indictment, wrote Laura Menninger, a lawyer who has represented Maxwell in civil litigation for five years. And Laura Manager has been trying to run that same kind of story with Ghislaine Maxwell since the beginning. Right. And she has been unsuccessful in her pleading with the court for the most part. So I am not shocked to see that Ghislaine Maxwell added a couple of high profile lawyers to help steer her clear of the charges. Hopefully in her mind, right. She wants the best lawyers possible and that's why they brought in Everdell and Cohen, because Menninger, well, she seems to be like to be a lawyer that mainly deals with civil litigation and not such high profile cases. But I do believe she is taking part as part of the team in the criminal defense as well. As you know, when you're facing a federal indictment such as Ghislaine Maxwell is and you have the means, you usually have a pretty big team of lawyers working on your case. So I would not be shocked to see Menninger with a pretty prominent position. But of course she won't be the one that is the trial attorney, Right. She won't be the one that is going in there and arguing it out at the trial. According to Doe's civil complaint, she first met Maxwell and Epstein in 1994 and as a 13 year old student at a music camp in Michigan. A months long grooming process continued, she alleges, after she returned home to Florida where Epstein had a seaside estate on Palm Beach Island. Doe's father had recently passed away, the complaint said, creating an opportunity for Epstein and Maxwell to fill the void. How often have we heard this story, huh? How many times have Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein and the rest of their disgusting ass co conspirators preyed upon somebody from a disadvantaged home, somebody from a broken home due to like here, a death in the family or parents who have their own problems with drugs or alcohol? How many times have we seen it? And it is the MO that they used continuously, over and over and over again and it is absolutely obscene. Epstein gave himself the name of Doe's godfather while Maxwell acted like an older sister to her. Her complaint said they took her to the movies, went shopping with her and lounged around Epstein's estate with her. That's part of the grooming process. For those of you out there that might not understand how that occurs, they're looking to get her to feel comfortable, to feel safe around them and then to normalize their behavior. And they were very good at that. When you have people that are naive and most people at that age are, and you have somebody like Ghislaine Maxwell that comes in and offers comfort to these young girls, they never thought in their wildest dreams that this well thought, I mean this well spoken, prim and proper lady would be involved in any sort of abuse against them. And that was all part of the plot. Doe, now 39, alleges the abuse escalated over the next few years as Epstein and Maxwell asserted more and more control over her life and aspirations. Epstein paid for voice lessons, private high school tuition, and even co signed a lease on a New York City apartment for Doe and her mother, according to her complaint. And again, that's what he would do. He would use his money, he would use his power, and he would offer these girls just a little sliver of something. And when you have never had nothing and you've been poor your whole life, well, even a little bit of nothing is better than nothing at all, right? And a lot of these girls were lied to. Oh, you're gonna get a job doing this, or we'll hook you up and you'll be a model for Virginia's secret or whatever it may be. It was all part of the grooming process. And that is why Ghislaine Maxwell is so, so intricate in what went on with Jeffrey ep Criminal enterprise. Do not let her get off as a victim. Do not let her get off as somebody who was just, oh, oh, a wilting Lil. A wilting Lily, because that is not who she was. Ghislaine Maxwell had a leadership role. Ghislaine Maxwell was calling the shots from behind the scenes. The shadow boss. She claims the abuse occurred at Epstein's homes in Florida, New York, and his ranch in New Mexico, and that she would often travel to those locations with Epstein and Maxwell on one of Epstein's private jets. Again, New Mexico is an absolute shit show. How is there not an investigation going on by the state of New Mexico? Are you people kidding me right now? You got better things to do. What exactly is going on in New Mexico that you can't find the time to go kick in the door at Zorro Ranch? How many girls have to come out and say they were abused there? How many sources have to come forward and say this occurred? And yet on a local level, all we get from them is, oh, we're sharing information with the sdny. I don't know about you, but if I. If I was a local in New Mexico, I would be demanding a state investigation into this. Epstein's system of abuse was facilitated in large part by his co conspirator and accomplice, Maxwell, who helped supply him with a steady stream of young and vulnerable girls, the complaint said, many of whom were fatherless like Jane Doe and came from struggling families. I love that they call her a co conspirator and accomplice here, because that is the fitting terminology. Not Socialite, okay? Not ex girlfriend. Nice try setting up the defense for them, but it's not going to cut it. Doe's case is one of just a few civil actions against the Epstein estate that are being actively litigated. Most of the pending lawsuits have been put on hold by alleged survivors while they submit their claims to the Alternative Resolution Program. And again, I'm all for that program. And as long. Here's the thing, it really doesn't matter what any of us think about it, as long as the. As long as the survivors are okay with what goes on. When it comes to the justice here, people getting arrested and the compensation program, that should be all that matters to anybody, honestly. Because for so long, they were told that they were liars. They were told that none of this ever happened. And now Jeffrey Epstein's estate is about to pay out $655 million to these very same girls that they painted as liars. You know what that's called, my friends? That is called validation of claim. Epstein's estate is valued at more than $655 million, according to a May 5 filing in probate court in the U.S. virgin Islands, where Epstein owned a private island compound that served as his primary residence since 2010. The criminal indictment against Maxwell is likely to further complicate Doe's efforts to obtain evidence and testimony necessary to pursue her civil claims. It is expected that Maxwell will eventually seek to pause the case, at least as it pertains to her, while the criminal case against her is pending. And that's pretty normal for situations like this, right? They'll suspend one of the trial, the trials, obviously, the civil side, and they'll continue with the criminal side. And then after they can finish up the. The civil portion of it. But again, it's not like Ghislaine Maxwell was just some, you know, passenger on this trip, okay? And Jane Doe explains very clearly how disgusting Ghislaine Maxwell was. Very clearly that Ghislaine Maxwell was part of the abuse. And all of the evidence that has been provided also paints the same picture. Ghislaine Maxwell is looking at never seeing the light of day again, folks. And to be honest with you, I don't think she should. This is somebody who was involved in a reign of terror, basically for decades, and she has no remorse. In fact, it looked like she was ready to bug out up in New Hampshire, two hours away from the Canadian border. You mean to tell me she has no contacts in Canada? You mean to tell me there are no private airfields that she could have been swooped away to and then off on a flight back to France. That's really out of the realm of possibility when we're dealing with people of means such as Ghislaine Maxwell. Of course it's not. Of course it's not. So this criminal case, her only out here is to serve up some huge names. And when I say out, I don't mean she's going to get off because she's not going to get a plea deal like you're thinking where she gives up names and she walks scot free. That's not going to occur in this case. In my opinion, this lady's in big trouble. She's facing basically life in prison and there is no hope on the horizon. As the allegations continue to come hot and heavy from every corner, I wonder, is Prince Andrew sweating or has his disease gone away? Because at this point where we are right now, the end is near for all of these people.

The Epstein Chronicles

Episode: Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate And The Allegations That They Stonewalled Survivors
Host: Bobby Capucci
Date: June 21, 2026

Overview of the Episode

In this episode, host Bobby Capucci examines fresh allegations that Jeffrey Epstein’s estate—managed by his longtime associates—has deliberately obstructed survivors' efforts to seek justice. Capucci analyzes recent legal maneuvers, accusations of stonewalling and withholding evidence, the disturbing tactics of the estate’s legal team, and the crucial importance of discovery in ongoing civil proceedings brought by Epstein’s survivors. Throughout, Capucci maintains his signature blunt, no-nonsense tone, directly criticizing Epstein's inner circle and high society's continued complicity.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Allegations Against Epstein’s Estate (00:00 - 07:00)

The episode centers on new reporting from ABC News (by James Hill) about a legal filing by Robert Glassman, attorney for “Jane Doe,” a survivor alleging abuse by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Glassman claims in a letter to the judge that Epstein’s estate is “withholding evidence and attempting to prevent the testimony of a key witness.”
- The estate allegedly has not provided any evidence for three months after pretrial requests.
- They also cancelled a scheduled deposition of Darren Indyke, one of the estate’s co-executors and Epstein’s longtime lawyer.
Capucci is explicit in his criticism:
- “Darren Indyke and Kahn both should be nowhere near this case… This man was involved in all sorts of financial transactions for Epstein and the rest of these morons. So he was facilitating a money laundering ring. How is he still part of the estate? How is he acting as an executor?” (01:52)
Glassman’s letter calls the estate’s conduct “obstructionist litigation tactics intended to stonewall and deprive Jane Doe of plainly relevant discovery.”
Capucci summarizes:
- “They have attempted to delay, they have attempted to muddy the waters and they have attempted to drag their feet every single step of the way and you see that same strategy continuing here and they're attempting to get away with it again.” (03:20)

2. Discovery Delays & Legal Maneuvers (07:01 - 22:00)

Jane Doe has already turned over 190+ pages of documents, but the estate requested “outrageous” information, including all her life’s medical records—even those unrelated to abuse.
“This is what happens when you have a guy like Darren Indyke… Indyke especially, this guy's no better than the rest of this criminal organization.” (09:12)
Capucci draws parallels between the estate’s behavior and tactics typical in criminal organizations, using “mob talk”; he refers to Indyke as “the consigliere.”
Estate’s response: Claims delay is because Doe’s lawyer hasn’t agreed to a new confidentiality order—a claim Capucci and Glassman both dismiss as stalling.
- “They buy themselves more time, they can solidify their defenses, and they can be involved in whatever sort of sordid activities they think are going to help them behind the scenes.” (13:25)
Glassman is ready to go to trial, while the estate seems intent on avoiding discovery—Capucci adamantly asserts:
- “That's the absolute worst thing for Jeffrey Epstein's associates, the worst thing for his estate, and it most certainly is not going to be a good situation for Indyke or Kahn.” (15:55)

3. Disincentive for Discovery among Powerful Associates (22:01 - 26:00)

Capucci names high-profile figures (Dershowitz, Prince Andrew, George Mitchell, Bill Richardson, Glenn Dubin, Les Wexner) as individuals who “do not want discovery because that is where the rubber meets the road.”
Settlement patterns, particularly with Maxwell and Virginia Roberts, illustrate how key figures avoid the exposure associated with discovery.

4. Jane Doe’s Claims & Maxwell's Role (26:01 - 37:00)

Details of Doe's lawsuit: Similar to allegations in the federal charges against Maxwell—she was groomed as a minor, first met Epstein and Maxwell at 13 at a Michigan music camp, then continued to be exploited, especially after her father's death.
Epstein and Maxwell lavished Doe with gifts and support (paying for voice lessons, school tuition, co-signing apartment leases), forming the heart of a long-term grooming process.
Capucci insists on Maxwell’s central, active role:
- “Do not let her get off as a victim… Ghislaine Maxwell had a leadership role… the shadow boss.” (35:16)
Capucci highlights the frequent MO of targeting girls from broken or disadvantaged homes:
- “How many times have Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein and the rest of their disgusting ass co conspirators preyed upon somebody from a disadvantaged home, somebody from a broken home due to… a death in the family or parents who have their own problems… It is the MO that they used continuously, over and over and over again and it is absolutely obscene.” (33:00)

5. The Alternative Resolution Program and Justice for Survivors (37:01 - 44:00)

Only a handful of civil actions persist against the estate, as many survivors opt for the Alternative Resolution Program (ARP), now set up by the estate following long delays.
Estate’s value is over $655 million; the ARP could result in large payouts—Capucci regards these as a form of long-overdue validation for survivors.
- “For so long, they were told that they were liars… and now Jeffrey Epstein’s estate is about to pay out $655 million to these very same girls… You know what that’s called, my friends? That is called validation of claim.” (42:13)
Capucci is emphatic:
- “I hope it’s seven figures for all of these girls, every last one of them. And I hope that the estate is left penniless when it’s all said and done.” (39:46)

6. Interplay Between Civil and Criminal Cases (44:01 - End)

Maxwell’s indictment complicates Doe’s civil case—Capucci outlines the normal procedure of pausing civil cases while criminal cases proceed.
Capucci skeptical Maxwell can bargain her way out:
- “Her only out here is to serve up some huge names… that's not going to occur in this case. In my opinion, this lady's in big trouble. She's facing basically life in prison and there is no hope on the horizon.” (48:00)
Capucci brings up Prince Andrew, speculating about the broader fallout for other implicated figures:
- “Is Prince Andrew sweating or has his disease gone away? Because at this point where we are right now, the end is near for all of these people.” (50:22)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On the estate’s obstruction:

“This behavior flies in the face of fairness, professionalism and much needed justice.” (Robert Glassman, 02:15)
On Indyke’s involvement:

“This is a man who was facilitating things for Jeffrey Epstein by participating in the financial crimes. The Estate is engaging in obstructionist litigation tactics intended to stonewall and deprive Jane Doe of plainly relevant discovery.” (Capucci paraphrasing & Glassman, 05:16)
On the impact of discovery:

“None of these people want discovery because that is where the rubber meets the road… They all understand the stakes and they understand that if they go to discovery, it is absolute hammer time.” (Capucci, 22:36)
On Maxwell’s culpability:

“Do not let her get off as a victim. Do not let her get off as somebody who was just, oh, oh, a wilting Lil… Ghislaine Maxwell had a leadership role… the shadow boss.” (35:16)
On compensation to survivors:

“I hope it is seven figures for all of these girls, every last one of them. And I hope that the estate is left penniless when it's all said and done.” (39:46)

This article is from ABCNews.go.com the author of the article is James Hill. Headline Survivor's Attorney Accuses Epstein Estate of Attempts to Stonewall Lawsuit an attorney for a woman who claims to be the first known child sex abuse survivor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is accusing the legal team representing Epstein's estate of withholding evidence and attempting to prevent the testimony of a key witness of according to a letter sent to the judge overseeing her lawsuit on Wednesday that should shock nobody. Like I just said in the opening statement, Darren Indyke and Kahn both should be nowhere near this case. And I have a funny feeling that if prosecution pursues this case the way that they should, in a very robust and aggressive manner, that then they could have they have no other choice but to bring Indyke in as well for questioning. At the very least under oath. This man was involved in all sorts of financial transactions for Epstein and the rest of these morons. So he was facilitating a money laundering ring. How is he still part of the estate? How is he acting as an executor? This behavior flies in the face of fairness, professionalism and much needed justice, wrote Robert Glassman, the lawyer for the accuser who filed the suit under the pseudonym Jane Doe. According to the letter, attorneys for the estate have failed to turn over a single page of evidence in the three months since being served with pretrial requests. That's what they've done from the beginning in this case. When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and the people that are in his circle or were in his circle, they have attempted to delay, they have attempted to muddy the waters and they have attempted to drag their feet every single step of the way and you see that same strategy continuing here and they're attempting to get away with it again. Lets hope that they get a taste of reality like their good friend Ghislaine did. The estate missed a previously agreed upon deadline to begin producing documents in the possession of the estate that contained Doe's name and information, Glassman wrote. And he claimed they abruptly called off a scheduled deposition of Darren Indyke, one of the estate's co executors and a longtime lawyer for Epstein and his affiliated companies. More than that friend confidant, not somebody that's just has a business relationship with him, just a working relationship. As much as I think Epstein is the scum of the earth, I believe that everybody is entitled to legal defense, right? But this went way beyond that. This is a man who was facilitating things for Jeffrey Epstein by participating in the financial crimes the Estate is engaging in obstructionist litigation tactics intended to stonewall and deprive Jane Doe of plainly relevant discovery. Glassman wrote in asking for a conference with the court. It is clear that absent court intervention, the Epstein estate will not comply with its basic discovery obligations. And again, that's par for the course with these people. They will try and do whatever they can to make sure that this goes all the way down to the 11th hour. They don't want a timely trial, they don't want to produce discovery because then their scummy ass clients will have to answer for their behavior. So let's drag our feet a little bit, let's wait longer, let's ask for a delay, all in hopes that they can somehow either A, find a loophole or, or B, find somebody to help them wiggle off the hook. Doe has already turned over more than 190 pages of documents to the estate earlier this month, according to the letter, but balked at the Estate's request for what Glassman called largely irrelevant and quite frankly, outrageous information from Doe. Glassman claimed that among the requests were documents referencing any and all medical procedures and consultations she has ever had throughout her lifetime, including while she was a minor, even if such medical care was unrelated to Jeffrey Epstein's alleged abuse of her. This is what happens when you have a guy like Darren Endyke and you have Kahn in there, okay? Indyke especially, this guy's no better than the rest of this criminal organization. In fact, he's right up there with the core four, right underneath them. In my opinion, in the command structure and in fact, in some other ways, this man would basically be the consigliere. If we want to continue with our mob talk, obviously that's what you would have to talk about this guy as, right? Something like that. Jeffrey Epstein's question guy. Hey, can I do this? What should we do about that? Hey, can I get some advice on this legal issue? And it was up to Indyke to find out how to finesse all of that. It was up to Indyke to find out how to facilitate all of that and for him participating in Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. For that reason, Darren Endyke must be subpoenaed, must testify and must be questioned. Bennett Moskowitz, a lawyer for Indyke and Richard Kahn, the estate's co executors, declined to comment on the allegations raised by Glassman's. By Glassman, when reached Wednesday by ABC News. And that's just telling right there alone. The executors of the estate had to go out and lawyer up themselves because they're such dirt bags that they know the slap back from the rubber band is on its way to crack them. These people are gross, disgusting, almost not even human. But in a response filed in court Thursday, an estate attorney called Glassman's letter very premature and a misrepresentation of what had occurred. Of course, it's always a misrepresentation. Oh, no, no, that's not what Mr. You know what, what we thought here, Mr. Khan thought here, what Mr. Indyke thought here. No, it's not. Okay. It is not a misrepresentation. These executors in this estate have made a habit of not turning over documentation when required, of making the judge force their hand and dragging their feet the whole way. The estate claims that Indyke's deposition was taken off the calendar to allow time for Maxwell's lawyer, who had just entered the case, to confer with all parties about setting new schedules and contenders, and contended that the production of documents in their possession was being held up only because Doe's lawyers had yet to agree to a confidentiality order, which must occur before we produce documents that referred to Doe, who filed this case anonymously by her real name. And I think that's something that's pretty important. That's buried in that paragraph is the fact that the estate claims that Indyke's deposition was taken off the calendar to allow time for Maxwell's lawyer, who. Who had just entered the case. Entered the case. Why was, why is Maxwell's lawyer in the case? Maybe because of the suit that she was going to bring against the estate for them to pay for her? Or is Maxwell's lawyer just pilfering around hoping to get some information to help with her defense? Every single door must be kicked in, every rock turned over, and every tree must be given a good shake when it comes to this case. That is for Mrs. That is for Doe's benefit, wrote a state lawyer, Mary Grace Metcalfe. Glassman told ABC News Thursday that he hadn't agreed to delaying Indyke's deposition and that he sees no need for a confidential confidentiality agreement to protect the identity of his client, because there is a prior court order which deals with that. And again, that's what they're trying to do. They'll try and make these assertions right when they know clearly they're not in the right, and they'll force the judge to decide. That way, they buy themselves more time, they can solidify their defenses, and they can be involved in whatever sort of sordid activities they think are going to help them behind the scenes. We're interested in taking this case to trial and getting the evidence that we need in order to prepare the case for that time. Glassman said. And it appears that they're more interested in sitting in their offices, writing letters and objecting to everything that we're trying to do. Glassman just fired them up right here with that statement. He just told the estate that he is ready to go to trial and bring this before a jury. That is the absolute worst thing for Jeffrey Epstein's associates, the worst thing for his estate, and it most certainly is not going to be a good situation for Indiker Khan. Can you imagine getting that jury summons and sitting on that jury pool and learning all of this stuff that we know, just the circumstantial stuff that we're privy to. Imagine you compound that with what the feds already know with the case that they're building and you're sitting on the jury, forget it. These dudes are in big trouble. They better figure this out and they better appease these survivors. Lawyers for the estate have previously asked the court to dismiss some of Doe's claims as beyond the statute of limitations. The lawyers for the co executors have also encouraged Doe to participate in an alternative resolution program established by the Epstein estate, which launched last month after protracted delays. Yeah, of course, like I said, they do not want discovery no matter what they say. This includes Alan Dershowitz. This includes Prince Andrew. This includes George Mitchell. This includes Bill Richardson. This includes Glenn Dubin. This includes Lex Wexner. None of these people want discovery because that is where the rubber meets the road. Do you think it's a coincidence that Ghislaine Maxwell settled out of court before discovery with with Virginia? Of course it wasn't. They all understand the stakes and they understand that if they go to discovery, it is absolute hammer time. The details in Doe's lawsuit, which was filed in January against the Epstein estate in Maxwell, are substantially similar to the allegations pertaining to one of the three minor survivors included in the federal charges against Maxwell, who was accused in a six count indictment of assisting, facilitating and contributing to Epstein's alleged abuse of three minor girls between 1994 and 1997. This is significant as well. So if the claims are as similar as they appear to be, not only is Jane Doe spearheading along with Annie, the criminal portion of Ghislaine Maxwell's downfall, she is now hammering their estate as well. So Jane Doe, if you're listening to this podcast by any off chance. Good for you. Way to stand up to your for yourself and go for the throat. Get it all. Whatever you can get out of these people, you have earned it. Get it all. Jane Doe is their first known victim and subsequently abused by Epstein and Maxwell for years as a young girl suffering unimaginable physical and psychological trauma and distress, her complaint said. I can only imagine. I can only imagine. And for people who act like, oh, it's about the money, the money is a small little part of what these, these girls are owed by these scumbags and society as a whole, if you want the truth of it. Because all of us, all of us, me included, everybody who ignored this story when it was, when it was happening originally. Well, I mean, really. And to ignore it after you know about what has occurred, I can't even imagine. But what Jane Doe suffered at the hands of these people for years, of course she deserves whatever sort of compensation is coming her way. I hope it is seven figures for all of these girls, every last one of them. And I hope that the estate is left penniless when it's all said and done. Maxwell pleaded not guilty to the charges at a hearing earlier this week and was ordered held without bail pending trial in July. Pending trial in July 2021. That trial date is set for July 12, 2021, a week after Maxwell's July 2 arrest in New Hampshire. Her attorney filed an answer to Doe's lawsuit claims, while also noting the overlap between the lawsuit and the criminal case against Maxwell in New York. And now remember, the other case in Prescott's court was also delayed for a while. So there was things going on behind the scenes that we weren't privy to. But when Maxwell got the case delayed and it was pushed back because of the criminal case, that is when you really knew the writing was on the wall and that Maxwell and the co conspirators were about to get got and the rumbling started a few weeks before the arrest. But they were there. There were some clear signs that something was occurring. Ms. Maxwell's denials of factual allegations in the endo's lawsuit and shall be interpreted the same as pleading not guilty to the various counts in any criminal indictment, wrote Laura Menninger, a lawyer who has represented Maxwell in civil litigation for five years. And Laura Manager has been trying to run that same kind of story with Ghislaine Maxwell since the beginning. Right. And she has been unsuccessful in her pleading with the court for the most part. So I am not shocked to see that Ghislaine Maxwell added a couple of high profile lawyers to help steer her clear of the charges. Hopefully in her mind, right. She wants the best lawyers possible and that's why they brought in Everdell and Cohen, because Menninger, well, she seems to be like to be a lawyer that mainly deals with civil litigation and not such high profile cases. But I do believe she is taking part as part of the team in the criminal defense as well. As you know, when you're facing a federal indictment such as Ghislaine Maxwell is and you have the means, you usually have a pretty big team of lawyers working on your case. So I would not be shocked to see Menninger with a pretty prominent position. But of course she won't be the one that is the trial attorney, Right. She won't be the one that is going in there and arguing it out at the trial. According to Doe's civil complaint, she first met Maxwell and Epstein in 1994 and as a 13 year old student at a music camp in Michigan. A months long grooming process continued, she alleges, after she returned home to Florida where Epstein had a seaside estate on Palm Beach Island. Doe's father had recently passed away, the complaint said, creating an opportunity for Epstein and Maxwell to fill the void. How often have we heard this story, huh? How many times have Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein and the rest of their disgusting ass co conspirators preyed upon somebody from a disadvantaged home, somebody from a broken home due to like here, a death in the family or parents who have their own problems with drugs or alcohol? How many times have we seen it? And it is the MO that they used continuously, over and over and over again and it is absolutely obscene. Epstein gave himself the name of Doe's godfather while Maxwell acted like an older sister to her. Her complaint said they took her to the movies, went shopping with her and lounged around Epstein's estate with her. That's part of the grooming process. For those of you out there that might not understand how that occurs, they're looking to get her to feel comfortable, to feel safe around them and then to normalize their behavior. And they were very good at that. When you have people that are naive and most people at that age are, and you have somebody like Ghislaine Maxwell that comes in and offers comfort to these young girls, they never thought in their wildest dreams that this well thought, I mean this well spoken, prim and proper lady would be involved in any sort of abuse against them. And that was all part of the plot. Doe, now 39, alleges the abuse escalated over the next few years as Epstein and Maxwell asserted more and more control over her life and aspirations. Epstein paid for voice lessons, private high school tuition, and even co signed a lease on a New York City apartment for Doe and her mother, according to her complaint. And again, that's what he would do. He would use his money, he would use his power, and he would offer these girls just a little sliver of something. And when you have never had nothing and you've been poor your whole life, well, even a little bit of nothing is better than nothing at all, right? And a lot of these girls were lied to. Oh, you're gonna get a job doing this, or we'll hook you up and you'll be a model for Virginia's secret or whatever it may be. It was all part of the grooming process. And that is why Ghislaine Maxwell is so, so intricate in what went on with Jeffrey ep Criminal enterprise. Do not let her get off as a victim. Do not let her get off as somebody who was just, oh, oh, a wilting Lil. A wilting Lily, because that is not who she was. Ghislaine Maxwell had a leadership role. Ghislaine Maxwell was calling the shots from behind the scenes. The shadow boss. She claims the abuse occurred at Epstein's homes in Florida, New York, and his ranch in New Mexico, and that she would often travel to those locations with Epstein and Maxwell on one of Epstein's private jets. Again, New Mexico is an absolute shit show. How is there not an investigation going on by the state of New Mexico? Are you people kidding me right now? You got better things to do. What exactly is going on in New Mexico that you can't find the time to go kick in the door at Zorro Ranch? How many girls have to come out and say they were abused there? How many sources have to come forward and say this occurred? And yet on a local level, all we get from them is, oh, we're sharing information with the sdny. I don't know about you, but if I. If I was a local in New Mexico, I would be demanding a state investigation into this. Epstein's system of abuse was facilitated in large part by his co conspirator and accomplice, Maxwell, who helped supply him with a steady stream of young and vulnerable girls, the complaint said, many of whom were fatherless like Jane Doe and came from struggling families. I love that they call her a co conspirator and accomplice here, because that is the fitting terminology. Not Socialite, okay? Not ex girlfriend. Nice try setting up the defense for them, but it's not going to cut it. Doe's case is one of just a few civil actions against the Epstein estate that are being actively litigated. Most of the pending lawsuits have been put on hold by alleged survivors while they submit their claims to the Alternative Resolution Program. And again, I'm all for that program. And as long. Here's the thing, it really doesn't matter what any of us think about it, as long as the. As long as the survivors are okay with what goes on. When it comes to the justice here, people getting arrested and the compensation program, that should be all that matters to anybody, honestly. Because for so long, they were told that they were liars. They were told that none of this ever happened. And now Jeffrey Epstein's estate is about to pay out $655 million to these very same girls that they painted as liars. You know what that's called, my friends? That is called validation of claim. Epstein's estate is valued at more than $655 million, according to a May 5 filing in probate court in the U.S. virgin Islands, where Epstein owned a private island compound that served as his primary residence since 2010. The criminal indictment against Maxwell is likely to further complicate Doe's efforts to obtain evidence and testimony necessary to pursue her civil claims. It is expected that Maxwell will eventually seek to pause the case, at least as it pertains to her, while the criminal case against her is pending. And that's pretty normal for situations like this, right? They'll suspend one of the trial, the trials, obviously, the civil side, and they'll continue with the criminal side. And then after they can finish up the. The civil portion of it. But again, it's not like Ghislaine Maxwell was just some, you know, passenger on this trip, okay? And Jane Doe explains very clearly how disgusting Ghislaine Maxwell was. Very clearly that Ghislaine Maxwell was part of the abuse. And all of the evidence that has been provided also paints the same picture. Ghislaine Maxwell is looking at never seeing the light of day again, folks. And to be honest with you, I don't think she should. This is somebody who was involved in a reign of terror, basically for decades, and she has no remorse. In fact, it looked like she was ready to bug out up in New Hampshire, two hours away from the Canadian border. You mean to tell me she has no contacts in Canada? You mean to tell me there are no private airfields that she could have been swooped away to and then off on a flight back to France. That's really out of the realm of possibility when we're dealing with people of means such as Ghislaine Maxwell. Of course it's not. Of course it's not. So this criminal case, her only out here is to serve up some huge names. And when I say out, I don't mean she's going to get off because she's not going to get a plea deal like you're thinking where she gives up names and she walks scot free. That's not going to occur in this case. In my opinion, this lady's in big trouble. She's facing basically life in prison and there is no hope on the horizon. As the allegations continue to come hot and heavy from every corner, I wonder, is Prince Andrew sweating or has his disease gone away? Because at this point where we are right now, the end is near for all of these people.
