During his testimony on March 11, 2026, Richard Kahn stated that he was unaware of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities, which raises questions about the oversight mechanisms in place for financial operations.
Kahn indicated that monetary gifts from Epstein did not trigger any concerns, suggesting potential gaps in due diligence practices within his accounting firm.
