The Spin

Epstein's estate settlement is a calculated maneuver to shield enablers and silence survivors. The $35 million payout forces victims to waive rights against unnamed associates while executors who allegedly funneled millions through shell companies escape accountability without admitting wrongdoing.

Survivors received meaningful closure through compensation programs that distributed over $121 million to victims who chose to participate. The estate established a dignified pathway for financial relief while the perpetrator is dead and his accomplice imprisoned, bringing this chapter to an end.
