A fund set up to provide money to victims of financier Jeffrey Epstein announced Monday that it has largely completed its work after agreeing to disburse nearly $125 million to more than 135 people. The announcement came from Jordana Feldman, the administrator of the Epstein Victims Compensation Program, which since late June of last year has operated independently of Epstein’s estate. Dozens of women have alleged that Epstein for decades sexually abused teenage girls and women, often by turning mansion massages into sexual assaults. Feldman said she worked for a decade on the Sept. 11 compensation fund. The payouts were financed with money from Epstein’s estate, including expenses of $8 million to $9 million, Feldman said.
