TLDR
A single office address — 575 Lexington Avenue, Floor 4, New York — served as the registered location for HBRK Associates, DKI PLLC, and NES LLC, concentrating Epstein's financial operations, legal practice, and real estate management at one physical control point. Deutsche Bank accounts for all three entities were addressed "c/o HBRK" at this location.
One Floor, Three Entities
In most corporate networks, related entities maintain separate addresses to preserve the appearance of operational independence. In the Epstein network, the opposite occurred. HBRK Associates Inc. (Richard Kahn's financial operations entity), Darren K. Indyke PLLC (Indyke's law practice), and NES LLC (the entity holding the 9 East 71st Street mansion) all shared a single registered address at 575 Lexington Avenue, Floor 4, New York, NY 10022 (PAPER TRAIL Project, 2026a; PAPER TRAIL Project, 2026b).
This was not a coincidence of office space. Nine East 71st Street Corporation — the predecessor Wexner-era entity — had listed 575 Lexington Avenue, Floor 4 as its principal office before either HBRK or DKI PLLC existed at the address (New York Department of State [NY DOS], 1989). The location predates both the financial and legal operations that later converged there.
The HBRK Banking Hub
HBRK Associates anchored the financial operations at this address. Richard Kahn served as the sole authorized signer on two TD Bank accounts opened in early 2019: account 4332212771 (opened April 18, 2019, receiving $3.74 million in five wires from NES LLC, Southern Trust, and Southern Country International) and account 4332216963 (opened February 5, 2019, receiving $948,000 from HBRK's Deutsche Bank account and Southern Trust) (PAPER TRAIL Project, 2026c).
The address also served as the correspondence location for the Butterfly Trust's SAR (Suspicious Activity Report — a filing banks must submit to the government when they detect potentially illegal transactions) filing, listed as "c/o HBRK Associates Inc, 575 Lexington Ave 4th Fl, NY 10022" (TD Bank, 2019). When TD Bank filed its suspicious activity report covering $47.3 million across 25 subjects, this address appeared repeatedly as the central node connecting multiple entities and accounts.
Deutsche Bank Routing
The convergence extended to Deutsche Bank. Three separate Deutsche Bank accounts all listed "c/o HBRK" at the 575 Lexington address: account 42953707 for DKI PLLC, account 42953715 for HBRK Associates Inc., and account 42953758 for NES LLC (PAPER TRAIL Project, 2026c). This means that Deutsche Bank correspondence for Indyke's law practice, Kahn's financial operations, and the entity holding the Manhattan mansion all arrived at the same desk.
When compliance officers reviewed these accounts, the common address and "c/o HBRK" routing should have signaled a single beneficial ownership structure (meaning one real person ultimately controlled all three entities). Whether it did is another question — one addressed in the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) consent order that ultimately imposed a $150 million penalty on Deutsche Bank (NYDFS, 2020).
Cash and International Wires
The 575 Lexington address is also where two notable financial anomalies occurred. On May 7, 2019 — two months before Epstein's arrest — Kahn made a $50,000 cash withdrawal from the HBRK account, triggering a Currency Transaction Report (a mandatory bank filing for cash transactions over $10,000) (PAPER TRAIL Project, 2026c). And from the same HBRK account (4332216963), $20,000 was wired to Walch Schurti, a Liechtenstein law firm, with the memo "retainer purchase of shares Anstalt" (a Liechtenstein legal structure similar to a foundation, used to hold assets privately) (PAPER TRAIL Project, 2026c). That wire extended the documented financial network into Liechtenstein's opaque foundation structures.
White and Case LLP also received $100,000 from HBRK in two checks — suggesting high-stakes legal work routed through the same office (PAPER TRAIL Project, 2026c).
Control Architecture
The significance of 575 Lexington Avenue is architectural. It reveals that the separation between Epstein's legal representation (Indyke), financial management (Kahn), and real estate holdings (NES LLC) was nominal. All three functions operated from the same floor of the same building, with the same two individuals controlling all accounts.
This concentration created efficiency for operations but vulnerability for legal defense. The corporate veil doctrine — the legal principle that treats a corporation as separate from its owners — assumes that separate entities operate independently. When three supposedly independent entities share an address, share officers, and route all Deutsche Bank correspondence to the same "c/o" designation, the argument for treating them as distinct legal persons weakens considerably.
The 575 Lexington convergence is not the most dramatic finding in the Epstein corpus. There are no trafficking victims at this address, no flights, no packages. But it is the physical location where the administrative control of the network was concentrated — the desk where the wires were authorized, the accounts were managed, and the corporate filings were maintained.
