Parlatore told me during a brief conversation. He added that Indyke’s “experience on the legal side of the Epstein business was valuable.” For instance, Indyke knows how to structure financial arrangements and purchase aircraft, Parlatore said. “I hired him because of that.”

He knows how to structure financial arrangements and purchase aircraft? …uhuh

Those kinds of financial skills are what the two women who sued Indyke allege were at the heart of Epstein’s criminal enterprise. In his bio, Indyke touts his experience “as general counsel to family offices, serial entrepreneurs, investors, and other ultra-high-net-worth clientele.” He doesn’t mention Epstein. Among his other capabilities: “Complex business and commercial transactions,” as well as “aviation, marine, and other exotic asset purchases, sales, and operation.”

Exotic asset purchases? Maybe I’m reading too much into that and it’s just normal rich person… stuff? But given who he is, I feel like he’s not really deserving of the benefit of the doubt. Yikes. His bio also says this: Stakeholders seek his analysis and problem-solving skills and rely upon him to ensure that their matters are handled with the utmost care and discretion. 😬

Left unsaid was that some of Epstein’s victims have gone looking for others involved in enabling Epstein’s misconduct, and they claim that one trail leads to Indyke.

Last year, Epstein’s estate, which Indyke administers with Epstein’s former accountant, received a nearly $112 million tax refund from the IRS. “With most large claims against the estate having been settled, that newfound cash isn’t likely to make its way to victims of the disgraced financier,” The New York Times reported in January. But some of the assets could go to Indyke, as well as other beneficiaries that Epstein named before he died.
