"An independent review commissioned by the board of Apollo in 2021 found no link between Black and Epstein’s expansive criminal conduct. It did, however, find that Epstein received something in the order of $158 million from 2012 to 2017 on topics relating to tax, trust and estate planning, philanthropic projects and the operation of his Family Office. Dechert LLP, the authors of the review, found that Apollo itself never retained Epstein directly for any services, nor did Epstein invest in any of its funds. "
O please.
1. There are no secrets in the estate-planning, trust-planning or tax advisory industries. Any one of hundreds of law firms or CPA firms could have provided the same or better level of service and would not have charged $158M for doing so. Certainly not a one-man shop.
I'ma call bullshit.
2. Epstein was not a lawyer, nor was he working for a law firm. Therefore, his work product is not subject to attorney client privilege and there is nothing stopping the Committee or the FBI from subpoenaing records and making Black answer questions under oath, and tossing Black in the can for contempt if he refuses.
3. $158M is a drop in the bucket, considering Epsteins' alleged net worth and expensive habits.
Money corrupts. But most humans can overcome that with a little bit of moral teaching and a significant amount of law enforcement. It is not unusual for some people to use money to do good things. But absolute money corrupts absolutely; for example, a country that can print internationally accepted money without bound will always behave like an empire. And people who have more than what the middle class can save in hundreds of lifetimes tend to do more evil things than true charities. But before we do anything, we should always ask where the money comes from, how, and whether there are legal loopholes. Finally, why should we allow unlimited wealth inheritance?
Leon Black has already admitted under oath and in writing that he knowingly financed Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking operations on the US Virgin Islands. Black admitted this to Attorney General of the US Virgin Islands Denise George in January 2023 when Black paid that $62.5 million settlement it is a total admission of Black’s complicity in Epsteins crimes! (and why the heck didn’t Joe Biden and Merrick Garland do anything at all about that in 2023?)
This is racketeering in furtherance of child sex trafficking!
That’s a RICO indictment!That’s Leon Black as the money man behind this federal racket , in addition to being a pedo-predator himself … Leon Black must spend the rest of his life in prison for this.
Let Leon Black explain to a federal Jury how that suspicious $170 million he paid to Epstein was legit , that it was not just a rich guy paying a lot of money to indulge in (or cover-up) his favourite vice. Leon Black’s favourite vice of course is “partying with Jeffrey Epstein,” which means raping little 14-year-old girls that don’t speak English on Epsteins pedo island (because those victims were abducted from eastern European orphanages and trafficked.) or Leon Black raping little 16-year old girls with Down’s syndrome at Epstein’s NYC pedo-pad.
Wonder how many times “Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation”Benjamin Black has tried to access the Epstein files from inside the Trump administration to protect his criminal pedo dad?

What happens to others who walk out of hearings or refuse to appear? Black must be treated the same!
