Who is Leon Black?
Leon Black had the closest relationship with Jeffrey Epstein of anyone.
And this is where things get really, really dark.
You see, Leon Black was a biter. "That fat fuck bit me. He threw me on the floor and blood all over Jeffreys carpet," one woman journaled. She wasn't alone.
Leon Black founded Apollo Global Management โ one of the largest private equity firms on earth. $600 billion in assets under management. He was one of the most powerful men on Wall Street for three decades.
He paid Jeffrey Epstein $158 million.
No written contract. No invoices. $23-26 million per year to a man who was neither a licensed attorney nor a CPA. When the Senate Finance Committee asked how the payments were calculated, Black refused to answer.
Apollo hired the law firm Dechert to investigate. Their finding: "Epstein was being paid for some reason other than the services he was providing."
667 DOJ documents. Every quote below is verbatim.
Black says he paid Epstein for "professional advisory services." The documents show something else entirely.
