crimes, respectively. The investigation arises from conduct alleged to have occurred from in or about the 1990s. In parallel, we are considering filing civil forfeiture actions against Epstein properties used by Epstein and Maxwell to facilitate their criminal conduct, which are collectively worth in excess of $100 million.
Epstein is alleged to have engaged in a years-long pattern of enticing minor girls to engage in sex acts, aided and abetted and facilitated by Maxwell. Epstein undertook this conduct in at least New York, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands, New Mexico, and certain cities abroad.
We estimate that there are at least 50 victims who were abused by Epstein in New York, Florida and elsewhere, and who currently live throughout the United States and abroad, and several whose abuse was facilitated by Maxwell. Significant investigative costs include significant travel to interview victims and witnesses, and data hosting and discovery support relating from voluminous records obtained from dozens of devices obtained via search warrants, among other discovery costs.
