Epstein ofre kompensation program frøs kontrol over likviditet derefter lukket efter at betale omkring $121 millioner til omkring 150 overlevende
NY YORK - The Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program halted checks in February 2021. Independent administrator Jordana Feldman said the estate’s liquidity was the problem: too many claims, not enough cash on hand to pay every eligible survivor in full and on time. The freeze was supposed to last about seven weeks. The program had drawn roughly 225 applications — more than double the original estimate of about 100.
Det lukkede i august 2021 efter at have betalt mere end $121 millioner til omkring 150 mennesker. Feldman sagde mere end 92 procent af dem tilbød en pris accepteret. Folk, der nægtede, og snesevis fundet uegnede, stadig kunne sagsøge boet. NBC News, CBS, og ABC alle printede lukkenumrene. En check fra en død menneskesmuglers ejendom er ikke en retssag. Det er en kvittering. AEGIS Alliance vil ikke lade som om.
Fonden er lukket. Det er det ikke.
Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years. On August 25, 2026, U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer rejected her habeas petition as demonstrably meritless and frivolous, writing that her claims were based on speculation, distortions, and outright falsehoods and that nothing she put in dispute could disturb the trial outcome. Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November 2025. In December 2025 Engelmayer ordered Maxwell grand-jury material unsealed under that statute. On January 30, 2026 the Justice Department said it had posted more than 3.5 million additional pages. Maxwell’s lawyers tried to ride those pages back to a courtroom. The judge said the new material incriminated her.
Kompensationsprogrammet var altid en trykventil for ejendommen, ikke en erstatning for en offentlig docket. Overlevende, der tog pengene, underskrev krav mod boet. Overlevende, der ikke beholdt deres sager. Det er historien. De 121 millioner er prisen for en lukket dør.
