“#Epstein compensation fund pays out nearly $125M to victims<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The compensation fund set up for Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s victims paid out nearly $125 million before it was closed down Monday \u2014 the eve of the two-year anniversary of the pedophile\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The case\u2019s Victims\u2019 Compensation Program began distributing money a little more than a year ago and paid about 150 women, according to fund administrator Jordana Feldman.<\/p>\n

Epstein was awaiting trial on sex-trafficking and other charges when authorities say the sick multimillionaire financier hanged himself in a Lower Manhattan jail cell Aug. 10, 2019.<\/p>\n

The compensation program for Epstein\u2019s sex-abuse victims received around 225 claims, which it assessed and determined 92 percent to be credible, administrators said. Those eligible to receive funds were then offered various compensation amounts.<\/p>\n

Epstein\u2019s estate \u2014 which at its peak was valued around $634 million \u2014 funded the program but had no say in determining which cases were credible and the amount of the offers.<\/p>\n

Feldman emphasized it was a confidential and impartial process that allowed the women to resolve their claims outside of the public scrutiny of a court case and which also saved them the cost of litigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery claimant had an opportunity to be heard in a safe space, to share the intimate, personal, often harrowing accounts of what they endured and how it has affected them,\u201d Feldman said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud of what we were able to accomplish with this Program, but also recognize that no amount of money will erase the years of pain these victims have endured because of Jeffrey Epstein,\u201d Feldman said. \u201cMy hope is that the Program provided his victims a meaningful measure of justice and a step on the path toward healing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of Epstein\u2019s victims are still choosing to fight their cases in court.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
