That's kinda small
There's 1,200 victims. 39m =29,000 each to shut up forever.
I got 130k settlement to shut up for an attempted SA. 30k seems insulting.

But you clearly didn't! /s
Yeah no way the survivors should accept that paltry amount if they agree to forfeit all future claims. They should sue some other groups too, like the banks and financial institutions that worked with epstein, they knew what they were doing, they knew he was an intelligence asset and went along.
It looks like there were $121m and $49m payouts previously as well, making a total of ~$200m. Still seems p low though.
Epstein's estate? There should be no fucking estate, burn that shit to the ground and salt the earth so nothing grows again.
Exactly? And why can the Epstein estate buy itself out of criminal charges in the first place? Isn't heavy crime under ingerence of the court on US federal level? This isn't some misdemeanor, a fight between neighbors that's being settled out of court
Like when Google gets a slap on the wrist. 1% fine for getting caught.
I'm sure Epstein will learn his lesson after this
If only the justice system was actually just and the scales not piled with gold
They should band together and sue Israel, and or any front groups, and companies complicit in epstein's operation. There are plenty of banks that were involved, I'm sure some israeli firms, to say nothing of Israel themselves although the feds would kaibosh that I'm sure.
No money. Blood.
