At the bottom of article it talks about Epstein and money paid to Epstein
Some context: Epstein is now best known as a child-abuser after his 2008 conviction and subsequent indictment (and suicide) last year on additional charges. But before that he was considered a high-end wealth manager for a coterie of rich people in addition to Black.
What is most baffling to people — including investors in Apollo — is why Black did business with Epstein even after he got out of jail several years ago, and why Black still has yet to fully explain this.
That’s about to change. Amid client concerns, the firm hired prominent white-collar attorney Andy Levander, of Dechert LLP, to investigate the matter and provide the full story.
As part of the probe, I am told Black is willing to account for every penny he paid Epstein during their years doing business together. Black believes the record will show that Epstein did real work for him, and Black had no involvement in Epstein’s sordid private life. The investigation, which Black himself called for, will take about six weeks. Black is likely to address the matter at this Thursday’s earnings call.
“If Leon can account for all the money he paid Epstein and why,” the matter will be put to rest, said one person close to Black.
A spokeswoman for Black tells me that Epstein’s work was vetted by outside law firms and Black was “unaware and appalled” by Epstein’s conduct.
Levander didn’t return a call.
