Summary
This document is a Supplemental Brief filed on August 1, 2022, by the Co-Executors of the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein (Indyke and Kahn) in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands. The brief supports a Motion to Dismiss Ghislaine Maxwell's complaint seeking indemnification from the Estate. The Co-Executors argue that because Maxwell was convicted of intentional criminal acts (sex trafficking and conspiracy) in the Southern District of New York on June 29, 2022, public policy prohibits enforcing any contract or equitable doctrine that would indemnify her for the financial consequences of her crimes.
