NEW YORK -- 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 deliver nearly US$125 million to over 135 individuals.
Feldman said 92 per cent of 150 eligible applicants accepted what was offered by the fund, which received 225 claims, far more than the roughly 100 or so claims that were expected based on the number of women who had sued and spoken to lawyers. "I do think that there was a sense of comfort knowing that this was a safe space to share their stories. And I think that the process was exhausting but empowering for many of these victims. Empowerment in having come forward and reclaiming a sense of control and ownership in their own narrative," she said.
"The majority of victims accepted the determination of the administrators, settled their cases, and were happy to get through this process and resume healing," Edwards said in an email.
