crimes, were not being prosecuted because of that deal that acosta gave him more than ten years ago, they want that wiped off the table. that has implications not just in federal court in florida, where this motion was filed today, but also potentially in new york. response to the news about epstein s death this weekend the u.s. attorney in new york in the southern district geoffrey berman released a statement that said in part, today s events are disturbing and we are deeply aware of their potential to present yet another hurdle to giving epstein s many victims their day in court. to those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others who have yet to do so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you and our investigation of the conduct charge in the indictment which included a conspiracy count remains ongoing. emphasizing and setting apart which included a conspiracy count. the u.s. attorney going out of his way to say hey, one of the th
so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you in our investigation of the investigation of the conduct charged in the indictment, which included a conspiracy count, remains ongoing. so john, that s the essence of what we know continues. conspiracies are rarely conduct add loan. conspiracies usually involve co-conspirators, and we have some idea about the people who were close to jeffrey epstein. miss maxwell is one of the people pointed to frequently. it is the case not being a lawyer but having listened to a lot of smart lawyers over the weekend that the one positive element of then tire thing and there are really it s obviously a really dark furnish of events. but the notion that there will no longer be standing or the ability to challenge the searches of all of geoffrey epstein s properties, of all of his bank records, that he won t have lawyers who have stabbed standing to fight, so if there are cases that will be brought against co-conspirators it should b
investigation of conduct charge, which included a conspiracy count, remains ongoing. the conspiracy count has a lot of people wondering, are there others tied to this. you ve called on the estate of epstein, hundreds of millions of dollars, to be frozen, in order to be maintained for potential compensation for the victim. have you heard any response? i have not but i think it s imperative that any administrators of jeffrey epstein s estate hold his assets, do not distribute them, allow victims to come forward and make credible claims, prove up their claims if necessary, ideally in a simple kind of forum and make them whole. jeffrey epstein was so cruel to people in life. but in death, perhaps the people who survive him will treat the victims with more respect. sexual assault causes lifelong injuries to victims, their relationships, self-esteem, careers. both of my clients gave up
