In death, as in life, Jeffrey Epstein remains surrounded in lawsuits

Although no details have emerged regarding Epstein’s will, if one does emerge, it may not be a traditional document, considering Epstein’s reported conversations involving his body after death. In July, the New York Times described an interaction in which Epstein expressed interest in cryonics, and that he wanted to freeze his head and penis.
What About Cases Against Epstein’s Co-Conspirators? Attorney General William Barr said Monday that alleged co-conspirators involved with the financier “should not rest easy” following his death. “Let me assure you that case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein,” he told a law enforcement group in New Orleans.
How Might Prosecutors Might Pursue Epstein’s Assets According to a former prosecutor who spoke with the Miami Herald, the SDNY is able to go after individual assets through a civil forfeiture proceeding if they determine that a property, like Epstein’s New York mansion, “was used to facilitate a crime or was the proceeds of criminal activity.
What Civil Lawsuits Are Expected? In a statement published by Fox News on Saturday, Marc Fernich, a member of Epstein’s legal team, cited “greedy plaintiffs” as a reason for his client’s suicide — though Fernich’s perspective won’t stop lawyers representing accusers from dismantling the Epstein estate.
