Indyke was a signatory on Southern Trust's primary bank account to which funds were wired, primarily from a single source, as described below. Kahn, as Southern Trust's treasurer, oversaw its accounting, invoicing, and tax reporting. Indyke also authorized a majority of the wire transfers from Southern Trust's bank account in order to fund the various entities and personal bank accounts of Epstein, and had full inquiry capabilities over the account. 170. Bank records show that virtually all of Southern Trust Company's income came from a single source (including related entities). 171. In all, the single source paid $158 million to Defendant Southern Trust Company from 2013 to 2017, which constitutes 85% of the total revenues reported by Southern Trust Company. These funds appear to have not been used to pay for informatics or datamining services. 172. These payments to Southern Trust were the main source of funds for Epstein's Enterprise. Indeed, no other entity in Epstein's Enterprise generated revenues. Funds received from the single source were funneled, at the direction of Kahn and Indyke, to Epstein's personal accounts, and other Epstein entities to fund his criminal activities. 173. For the period between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017, Southern Trust Company received tax exemptions totaling $73.6 million. 174. As of December 31, 2017, Southern Trust Company, Inc. elected to file its income tax as an S-corporation, which elects to pass corporate income, losses, deductions and credits through to its sole shareholder—Jeffrey Epstein—for tax purposes. For this time period, Epstein's income tax exemption was $71.3 million. EFTA00162321

Including gross receipt taxes, the Government currently estimates that, as a result of the EDC incentive, Epstein was able to avoid paying $80,576,236 in taxes. 176. Based upon these facts, it is clear that Southern Trust Company did not perform the "informatics" business represented to the EDC and could not have generated the business income attributable to that business. Instead, upon information and belief, Southern Trust Company existed to secure tax benefits for Epstein, to employ individuals associated with the Epstein Enterprise, and to provide a source of income to support his criminal activities and properties in the Virgin Islands. 2. Defendants Cypress, Inc.; Maple, Inc.; and Laurel, Inc. 177. Epstein formed Cypress, Inc.; Maple, Inc.; and Laurel, Inc. as Virgin Islands corporations in or about November 2011. 178. As of December 31, 2018, Epstein was listed as President Director and Defendants and Co-Executors Indyke and Kahn were listed, respectively, as Vice President/ Secretary/Director and Treasurer/Director of each of Cypress, Inc.; Maple, Inc.; and Laurel, Inc. 179. Defendant Cypress, Inc. acquired ownership of the property 49 Zone Ranch Road in Stanley, New Mexico in or about December 2011, shortly after Cypress was formed. 180. Defendant Maple, Inc. acquired ownership of the property 9 East 71st Street in New York, New York on or about December 23, 2011, shortly after Maple was formed. Maple acquired ownership of the property from Nine East 71st Street Corporation, which was owned by Epstein. 181. Defendant Laurel, Inc. acquired ownership of the property 358 Brillo Way in Palm Beach, Florida in or about December 2011, shortly after Cyrpess was formed. Laurel acquired ownership of the property from Epstein personally. EFTA00162322

Epstein appears to have maintained divided ownership of these properties, transferred ownership of them to the Virgin Islands, and then concealed this fact even from Virgin Islands authorities in an attempt to shield the properties from any judgment in the states where they are located. 183. The financial statements submitted by each of these three Defendant corporations to the Office of Lieutenant Governor of the Virgin Islands were false and misleading due to their failure to include the above properties owned by each company or the related expenses incurred by each company, such as property taxes. 184. For instance, Cypress's Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 did not reflect any assets other than cash of $18,824. Further, Cypress reported only $301 in expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018, despite it paying 185. Similarly, in 2017, Cypress reported as its only asset cash in the amount of $29,736 and expenses of $150, despite it paying 186. Similarly, for the tax years 2011 through 2016, Cypress did not include the value of the New Mexico property in the total assets it reported and did not include any expenses related to the New Mexico property in the total expenses it reported to the Government. 187. Likewise, Maple's balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 did not reflect any assets other than cash of $21,265.

Similarly, for the tax years 2011 through 2016, Maple did not include the value of the New York property in the total assets it reported and did not include any expenses related to the New York property in the total expenses it reported to the Government. 190. Likewise, Laurel's balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 did not reflect any assets other than cash in the amount of $20,155. Further, Laurel reported only $300 in expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018, despite it paying 191. Similarly, in 2017, Laurel reported as its only asset cash in the amount of $37,129 and expenses of $150, despite it paying 192. Similarly, for the tax years 2011 through 2016, Laurel did not include the value of the Palm Beach property in the total assets it reported and did not include any expenses related to the Palm Beach property in the total expenses it reported to the Government. 193. Neither Cypress's, Maple's, nor Laurel's financial statements ever reflected the reality of the above assets held or the above expenses incurred by each entity. 194. The Annual Reports submitted on behalf of Cypress, Maple, and Laurel all were signed by Epstein and Defendant and Co-Executor Kahn with the representation that "ALL STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS APPLICATION, AND ANY ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS, ARE TRUE AND CORRECT . . ."

In fact, Indyke and Kahn knew or should have known that their attestations were false. Upon information and belief, particularly given the absence of any other justification for these transactions and the fraudulent nature of their reporting, these transactions were made for the sole purpose of sheltering these assets from collection. STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS ARE TOLLED AND DEFENDANTS ARE ESTOPPED FROM ASSERTING STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS AS DEFENSES 1. Equitable Estoppel and Fraudulent Concealment 196. Defendants are equitably estopped from relying upon a statute of limitations defense for conduct that occurred prior to the limitation period because they undertook active efforts to deceive the Government and to purposefully conceal their unlawful conduct and fraudulently assure public authorities that their conduct was in compliance with the laws, all with the goal of avoiding punishment. 197. Defendants were deliberate in taking steps to conceal their criminal sex trafficking and abuse conduct and their fraudulent conduct in obtaining unearned tax benefits from the Government. Defendants' acts of concealment include, but are not limited to, the following. 198. Defendants used Epstein's secluded island of Little St. James and his later purchase of the nearby island of Great St. James to shield their trafficking and sexual abuse of young women and female children from detection by law enforcement authorities and to prevent their victims from escaping. 199. Defendants used Epstein's private aircraft to transport young women and female children to the Virgin Islands and to Little St. James while limiting public observation of this trafficking activity.

Defendants used Epstein's businesses and ostensibly charitable foundations in the Virgin Islands to make payments to the victims who were trafficked and sexually abused while concealing these payments from detection by law enforcement authorities. 201. Defendants also prevented Epstein Enterprise entity employees from cooperating with law enforcement by requiring them to sign confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements. 202. Defendants also actively obstructed law enforcement by denying investigators access to Little St. James beyond its boat dock. 203. 204. 205. 206. Defendants also concealed their fraud on the Government in obtaining unearned tax benefits by providing false testimony and submitting false and inaccurate reporting to the Economic Development Commission to prevent detection of Defendant Southern Trust Company's non-compliance with requirements concerning the nature of its business and the residency of the persons it employed. 207.

The continuous criminal conduct by the Defendants has caused repeated and continuous injury. 209. Defendants criminal trafficking and sexual abuse of young women and female children in the Virgin Islands occurred continuously from Epstein's purchase of Little St. James in 1998 through his arrest and death in prison in 2019. 210. Flight logs and other sources establish that between 2001 and 2019, Defendants transported young women and female children to the Virgin Islands, where they were then transported by private helicopter or boat to Little St. James. 211. Air traffic controllers and airport personnel have reported seeing, as recently as 2018, Epstein leaving his private jet with young girls who appeared to be between the ages of 11 and 18 years. 212. One victim was brought by Defendants more than 50 times between 2000 and 2002, when she was around 18 to 20 years old, to Little St. James, where she was required to have sexual relations with Epstein or his guests multiple times per day and where she saw large numbers of other young women and female children subject to the same treatment. 213. Another victim was brought by Defendants dozens of times between 2004 and 2017 to Little St. James, where she too observed a succession of young women and female children who likewise were transported to the island and were required to have sexual relations with Epstein and his guests. 214. Defendants' fraud on the Government in obtaining unearned tax benefits through Defendant Southern Trust Company likewise was continuous inasmuch as Southern Trust's failure to perform the informatics services that it represented to the Economic Development EFTA00162327

The purpose of punitive damages in the common law is to punish the defendant for outrageous conduct that is reckless or intentional and to deter others from engaging in such conduct in the future. 428. This Complaint describes intentional conduct so egregious, persistent, and injurious that it shocks the conscience and offends a civilized society. 429. Punitive damages are especially important in the case of persons or companies that have so money, assets, and power that mere fines, penalties, and economic damages are simply not sufficient.

In any event, any party filing a motion or any other papers with the Court under seal shall also publicly file a redacted copy of the same, via the Court's Electronic Case Filing system, that redacts only the Confidential Discovery Material itself, and not text that in no material way reveals the Confidential Discovery Material. 9.

If, in connection with this litigation, a party inadvertently discloses information subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protection, including any privilege or immunity from production associated with BSA, SAR-Related Information, and/or CSI ("Inadvertently Disclosed Information"), such disclosure shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of any claim of privilege or work product or such other applicable protection with respect to the Inadvertently Disclosed Information and its subject matter.
