I'm in no way condoning what Epstein did, but the victims are now coming out of the woodwork like termites. I suspect they smell money via a class action lawsuit against his estate.
So, you are referring to young women likely 12-16 years old that were sex trafficked and forced into prostitution for the pleasure of old, rich creepy men, as termites?
Yes. Let's protect his estate for his brother to inherit. A guy likely to have been aware of what was going on, at a minimum. Let's reward him, instead. 
Nope. That was just an analogy. Where were all of the tort lawyers with their victims in 2005 when Epstein was first publicly accused & placed under investigation, or in 2008 when he pleaded guilty??? The case was widely publicized. Only a handful of civil cases were ever filed? Why? I don't buy the argument that everyone was afraid of him & his money.
There can be no justice now that Epstein is dead. Going after Epstein's estate is not punishment for Epstein. Money is not justice. Money does not erase psychological trauma or history. To pursue a dead man's money is an abomination of justice. It's not even beneficial retribution...in the long run it's apt to create even more psychological trauma. Why? Epstein paid & rewarded his victims, sometimes lavishly, which at the time they accepted except for the initial accuser. Now his victims are to receive a larger payment from his estate??? Think about it.
The Federal Government should seize Epstein's estate under the new Federal sex trafficking laws & make any distributions per it's guidelines -- there is no place for tort lawyers in this case -- I have a disdain for Gloria Allred et al, which is why I made my earlier remarks.
