Lawyer who was "indispensable captain of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal enterprise".

Darren Indyke was Jeffrey Epstein's longtime lawyer. Indyke was named in his will as a primary executor, along with Richard Khan and Harvard eugenicist/geneticist Boris Nikolic).

According to one source talking to the Daily Beast, Indyke “was plucked out of obscurity by Epstein” and described him as the “in-house counsel to Epstein’s enterprise....He was involved in virtually all of the legal work Epstein had,” the source added. “He’s probably the person with the most knowledge about Epstein’s money, business relationships, assets, and legal affairs"..."He’s a mystery in part because he’s been with Epstein so long," the source said. "He’s been Epstein’s confidant and aide for decades. If he had a life outside of Epstein, it was a very private life."

Background

Darren Indyke graduated from Colgate University in 1986 and Cornell Law School five years later.

After law school, Indyke did a four-year stint with Gold & Wachtel, a now-defunct boutique law firm, and represented several clients in copyright lawsuits. Gold & Wachtel represented Epstein at least as far back as 1988.

Indyke’s father was manager and member of the board at Jackie Fine Arts, a Gold & Wachtel client that sold low-value art reproduction rights to the rich at high prices as a calculated tax dodge.

Indyke’s name is also on corporation filings for the anonymous company that owned Maxwell’s East 65th Street townhouse. In 2000, Epstein’s friend Lynn Forester de Rothschild sold the residence to the LLC for $4.95 million.

He served as a trustee of Maxwell’s Max Foundation from 2001 to 2010, until he was replaced by Dana Burns, a woman pictured in society photos with Epstein and who also worked for Maxwell’s ocean nonprofit, The TerraMar Project. Indyke was listed as secretary of The Wexner Foundation—a nonprofit founded by Epstein’s only known clients, ex-Victoria's Secret mogul Leslie Wexner and his wife Abigail—in SEC filings from 1998 to 2001.

Criminal charges

In 2020, Virgin Islands Attorney General’s Office added allegations against executors of Epstein’s estate, Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn, in a revised civil complaint depicting them as “indispensable captains” of Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation. Defendants Indyke and Kahn participated with Epstein in coercing his sex trafficking victims, in at least three cases, to enter into arranged and forced marriages in order to obtain immigration status for the foreign women so that they could continue to be available to Epstein for his abuse—a doubly-deep assault on their will and dignity...."Kahn provided a letter of reference for at least one immigration application and tax services to the spouses, and Defendant Indyke paid the immigration lawyer who applied for citizenship for the women and threatened at least one who indicated that she would seek a divorce"..."Indyke and Kahn were, in short, the indispensable captains of Epstein’s criminal enterprise, roles for which they were richly rewarded".
