Photo: Google In death, as in life, Jeffrey Epstein remains surrounded in lawsuits, as prosecutors determine how to pursue possible criminal charges against his co-conspirators and lawyers representing his alleged victims file civil suits against his estate. “Victims deserve justice and will get it,” Attorney General William Barr said on Monday, following up on a statement from the U.S.

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 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.

In 2007, the Department of Justice brought a civil forfeiture action against the estate of the founder of Enron Corporation, CEO Kenneth Lay, who died of a heart attack while facing charges of engineering a massive fraud.[Former federal prosecutor Jeff] Marcus said he thinks it’s likely that federal prosecutors will do the same in this case due to the number of victims and the vast extent of the estate.
