With lawsuits piling up against Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, his lawyers asked a judge Wednesday to hasten approval of a victim-compensation fund, according to new court papers.
The program was proposed last month, in order to facilitate settling claims with victims who say they were sexually abused by the dead pedophile, and the estate’s lawyers asked for an “expedited approval” at the time.
The hope was to have the program up and accepting claims within 90 days, the lawyers said at the time.
Wednesday, the lawyers gave the judge another nudge, asking that their Nov. 14 motion be ruled on right away.

Since filing the motion, five more lawsuits were brought against the estate - bringing the total tally to 17 cases comprised of 26 accusers, the estate lawyers say. And there could be dozens more cases to come, the court papers say.
Why the hurry? Too many details out there?

I just hate it when I get “abused by a dead pedophile”.

The “rightful heirs” know that there's a real chance that there’ll be nothing left for them after all the civil suits against the estate.

Legal stuff, blah blah blah, posturing, legal wrangling, motions, briefing, etc ... and ... Epstein didn’t kill himself.

They are lawyers. Their job is to advocate for the estate.

settlement agreements with an NDA and no admission of liability, culpability. Buy their silence, get it out of the public eye.
