Mega Edition: Leon Black Gets Bounced From MoMa For His Epstein Ties (5/3/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

0:00
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Jeffrey Epstein Show. I'm
0:03
your host, Bobby Capuci, and this is a morning update. Hey,
0:09
what's up everybody, and welcome to the program. This morning,
0:14
we're gonna dive right back into the Leon Black situation,
0:17
and we're going to talk about a developing situation at
0:21
the Museum of Modern Art in regards to Leon Black's
0:26
position within their organization. There is a showdown coming, according
0:33
to a new article from The Daily Beast and Kate Bricklett.
0:38
So we're going to dive into this article and we're
0:41
gonna see what Kate and The Daily Beast has to
0:45
say about Leon Black and the Museum of Modern Art.
0:51
Headline MoMA braces for a showdown over Epstein pal Leon Black.
0:58
This article was authored by Kate Bricklett and Lachlan Cartwright.
1:03
So we know that this was a train coming down
1:08
the tracks at MoMA. We know that they were going
1:11
to have to answer for Leon Black's affiliation with them
1:16
in regards to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and up
1:21
until recently, they've been able to really avoid any let's
1:26
say serious backlash, but now, especially in light of the
1:31
fact that Leon Black is stepping down early from Apollo Global.
1:36
There is a significant amount of pressure being put on
1:42
MoMA now to make the same decision and get rid
1:45
of Leon Black. But as we've discussed previously, Leon Black
1:51
is a huge, huge donor to the museum, and let's
1:56
be real, they don't want to lose access to his art.
1:58
That's really what it comes down to do. I know
2:01
that's pathetic and disturbing for you know, those of us
2:05
who are you know, normal human beings. But for them,
2:09
remember the means always justifies the ends. Pressure is building
2:16
on private equity billionaire Leon Black to resign as chairman
2:19
of the Museum of Modern Art ahead of a crucial
2:22
board meeting next week, as his ties to deceased sex
2:25
trafficker Jeffrey Epstein continue to haunt him. Yeah, the pressure
2:30
really is on, and it's not only internal pressure obviously,
2:35
there's a lot of external pressure being used right now
2:39
to try and make it so that Leon Black does
2:43
in fact vacate this seat. It is I don't understand
2:47
how he or anyone else could think it's a good
2:49
idea for him to remain in this position. There is
2:54
just too much nuclear of fallout clinging to him. Especially
2:59
when you look at everything in context. This guy gave
3:04
that a majority of the money to Epstein after Epstein's
3:07
initial arrest. Folks, you know what have I said from
3:10
the beginning. If you were hanging out with Epstein before
3:13
he got arrested, at the very least you have a
3:15
defense that you can attempt to make, right, Oh, I
3:17
didn't know. He wasn't even arrested yet. What are you
3:19
talking about now? We might not buy that, BS, but
3:23
at least you can make that attempt after his arrest.
3:26
There's really no situation where you can say, oh, yeah,
3:33
well I didn't know what Jeffrey Epstein was, Yes, you did.
3:35
He was arrested, he went to prison, he served time
3:38
for what he did, and you still chose to hang
3:40
out with him. You still chose to do business with him.
3:45
So I don't know how any of these people, frankly,
3:50
who are hanging out with Epstein after the arrest, think
3:52
that that is going to work. Fever discussion about Blacks
3:59
possible to archer from MoMA comes a day after Black
4:02
would Apollo Global Management, the four hundred and fifty five
4:05
billion dollar firm he co founded in nineteen ninety. An
4:09
internal review revealed Black paid the sex offender more than
4:13
one hundred and fifty million dollars from twenty twelve to
4:17
twenty and seventeen, three times higher than what was initially reported.
4:22
The report found no evidence that Black knew, knew of,
4:25
or participated in Epstein's sexual abuse of girls and young women.
4:29
Now I've never made that leap. I know some people might,
4:34
but out here on this podcast, the financial ties that
4:40
bind Epstein and Leon Black are enough, all right, the
4:47
business ties between them. The fact that, as the article
4:51
just stated here, three times the amount of money that
4:54
was initially stated was really sent to Epstein. That's what
4:59
needs to be investigated with these people. Why was this
5:02
money being sent to an offshore Why was this money
5:06
being sent to Epstein in the first place. Oh, it's
5:09
fine and well that Leon Black comes out and says, oh,
5:12
it was for advice. But we're just supposed to take
5:14
you at your word. Why should we believe you when
5:17
you've already started this whole thing off by lying about
5:20
the amount of money in the first place. And if
5:24
your own paid for internal investigation uncovered that, can you
5:27
imagine what a really, what a real independent investigation would uncover.
5:35
But that same review found that Black and Epstein were
5:38
unusually close bound by a series of personal and professional
5:42
connections stretching back decades. Black loaned Epstein thirty million dollars
5:47
in early twenty seventeen, only ten million of which was
5:51
paid back. So let me get this straight. You make
5:54
a loan of thirty million dollars to somebody, right, and
5:57
they only give you ten million dollars back of that loan.
6:00
You don't freak out, you don't press the issue. You don't.
6:06
So from where I'm sitting, I doubt it was alone.
6:09
What was that money really for? Black once flew on
6:15
Epstein's private plane, the so called Lolita Express, and visited
6:19
Epstein's ranch in Stanley, New Mexico, and his private Caribbean
6:23
island where Epstein's survivors were trafficked and abused. So it
6:28
should come as no shock that Leon Black was hanging
6:32
out at Zoro Ranch. And again, we need to know
6:37
more about what occurred at Zoro Ranch, full stop, no
6:42
bs and around, no hiding the truth. We need a
6:47
full accounting of what occurred in Zoro Ranch, at Zoro
6:51
Ranch and the surrounding properties. The local authorities are not
6:55
interested if they were, they'd have their own investigation going
6:58
right now. They don't need the Fed to draw a
7:01
warren and kicking that door. All they need is probable cause.
7:06
But then again, when you're in Bill Richardson's New Mexico,
7:11
well you know, the game certainly is tilted. He also
7:17
spent time with Epstein in Florida and in France, and
7:20
they socialized in New York, often over breakfast. Black funded
7:25
Epstein's favorite researchers at MIT and Harvard, and he gave
7:28
ten million dollars to Epstein's secret charity. Secret charity? Again,
7:33
why do you need a secret charity? And furthermore, why
7:36
is Leon Black one of the most powerful men on
7:38
Wall Street giving money to a secret charity in the
7:43
first place. You would think that a guy like Leon
7:47
Black would just call up his accountant and be like, hey, look,
7:50
I'm gonna need you to wire ten million over to
7:52
so and so for this charity. Why all the secret
7:56
the secretiveness, Why all of the operating in darkness, Why
8:01
using all of these offshore companies? What's the deal? Black
8:06
confided in Epstein on personal matters, and Black introduced Epstein
8:09
to his family. The report found so right away that
8:14
automatically should give anyone pause who thinks that there was
8:18
no relationship here. You don't introduce people to your family
8:21
if you're not close friends or at the very least friends, right,
8:24
You don't just bring acquaintances around your family or your
8:27
children or anything like that. Not these people anyway, It's
8:30
a very small circle. So please for Black to act
8:36
like him and Epstein weren't close or it wasn't a
8:39
real like a real friendship or something, it's just ludicrous.
8:45
Black stated that he was repulsed by the details of
8:48
Epstein's crimes that were published in late twenty and eighteen.
8:51
By then, those crimes were well and widely known. Epstein's
8:56
pyramid abuse scheme had been the stuff of headline since
8:59
two and the legal battles between Epstein's associates, his survivors,
9:04
and Epstein himself had dragged on in public view for years.
9:09
And again, I've been saying this for a long time.
9:11
How could any of these people act like they don't know?
9:15
You know, these are people that are watching the news
9:17
on a daily basis, right They're watching the stock report,
9:20
They're watching you know, they're trying to get an edge
9:22
anyway that they possibly can. So for Leon Black to
9:26
act like he had no idea about Jeffrey Epstein or
9:29
what people were talking about or what was alleged to
9:32
have taken place, it's he really must believe that people
9:36
are stupid. Honestly, Black denies any involvement in Epstein's trafficking ring.
9:43
In October, he told shareholders on an earnings call that
9:46
paling around with Epstein after his two thousand and eight
9:49
conviction for soliciting a minor in Florida was a terrible mistake.
9:53
Oh yeah, terrible mistake is an understatement, Okay, Absolutely, that
10:00
you would be giving this dude this kind of credibility
10:03
and helping refurbish his image by hanging out with him,
10:07
And that's what you were doing, Leon Black, That's exactly
10:09
what you were doing. Let me be clear, Black said,
10:14
what is he? Barack Obama? All of a sudden, There
10:17
has never been an allegation by anyone that I engaged
10:20
in any wrongdoing, because I did not, And any suggestion
10:24
of blackmail or any other connection to Epstein's reprehensible conduct
10:28
is categorically untrue. Okay, So what's the million the hundreds
10:32
of millions of dollars for mister Black. Now, I know
10:36
there's a lot of people that want to make a
10:37
lot of big leaps here and you know, one way
10:39
or the other. But for me, I you know, I'm
10:43
asking the question what was the money for? And I
10:46
don't want to hear about Oh, it was for advice. Okay,
10:49
there's no advice on this planet worth one hundred and
10:51
fifty eight million dollars, folks. Black previously announced he was
10:57
stepping down as CEO of Apollo and he'd hand the
11:00
reins to co founder Mark Rowan on or before July
11:04
thirty first, But on Monday, Apollo said the sixty nine
11:07
year old Wall Street mogul and art collector quit earlier
11:10
than scheduled and had also relinquished his role as chairman.
11:16
So we covered that yesterday, the Leon Black situation, him
11:20
stepping down. We knew the writing was on the wall,
11:23
but I certainly didn't expect him to step down before July,
11:26
like he said he was going to. That came as
11:28
a surprise, no doubt about it. In a statement, Black
11:33
said he planned to spend more time with his family
11:36
and focus on his health and other passions like art
11:40
and time is precious. Black said, my wife, Deborah, lost
11:44
a close family member to the pandemic and faces considerable
11:47
health challenges. I intend to address my own health issues
11:51
and take some personal time to pursue my many interests
11:53
away from Apollo, including the arts, culture, medical research, and philanthropy.
11:59
Oh that must must be nice, huh. I'm gonna take
12:02
a step away amidst all of this chaos and all
12:05
of this fallout from my relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and
12:08
I'm just gonna focus on my art as if anybody
12:11
in the art community is not gonna look at you
12:13
sideways now. Now, Black may lose one of his high
12:18
profile positions in the art world, the MoMA chairmanship he's
12:22
held since twenty eighteen. That year, Black donated forty million
12:27
to the museum and had two floors of its film
12:30
center named after him and his wife. You see, money talks, folks.
12:34
If this was just a regular cat, a regular dude,
12:38
then he would have been jettisoned from history at MoMA.
12:43
They would have expunged his name from everything. But considering
12:47
the fact that this dude is a walking cash cow,
12:50
considering the fact that they all have their hands in
12:52
this dude's pocket, well he's given different treatment. Right, Oh, well,
12:57
we'll have to look at it. We'll take a look
12:59
at his behavior. We'll take a look at his behavior.
13:02
Whereas we're in a situation now in the world where
13:06
people get fired over tweets, never mind paling around with
13:09
Jeffrey Effing Epstein. A rep for Black declined to comment.
13:15
MoMA did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Still,
13:19
the museum looks likely to address Black's future on the
13:22
board in its next meeting, scheduled for March thirtieth. Pretty
13:26
interested to see how that goes, Honestly, I mean, the
13:29
rubber's gonna meet the road, right. It really comes down
13:32
to the basic question of does MoMA care or don't they.
13:38
None of MoMA's nearly eighty officers and trustees would speak
13:41
about Black on the record, though several said they supported
13:44
him and viewed his relationship to Epstein strictly as business.
13:49
Of course they do, of course they do, fellow travelers,
13:51
And all right again, folks, remember in this world where
13:55
Epstein was accepted, and where Epstein was vada to such
14:00
a high level, the only crime is to be broke.
14:07
Black was among a litany of high powered people to
14:09
associate with Epstein, One member told The Daily Beast, It's
14:13
obvious to me people used Epstein, not the least of
14:16
which has ways to meet other people, and people did
14:19
do business with him. Ergo Leon, of course they did. Well,
14:23
you don't think Leon Black ever introduced anyone to Jeffrey
14:26
Epstein and those people got into business with Epstein, you know,
14:29
Black's friends and whatnot. Of course they did. Now will
14:32
any of that ever be unearthed? Who knows? Who knows?
14:35
But logic says that they're sitting around they're this friendly
14:38
n if Epstein's this great money guy. You really don't
14:41
think Leon Black is going to direct anyone else towards him.
14:51
Another trustee, however, told The Daily Beast they were troubled
14:55
by Black's decades long friendship and ties with a sexual predator.
15:00
People who feel strongly, but there has not been a
15:02
forum for people to express their thoughts yet, the person said,
15:06
referring to the museum's decision to twice postpone it's board
15:09
meeting since February. What why are you postponing it? I
15:13
get it, They'll say it's COVID. I understand, I know,
15:16
I know. The COVID is making you postpone your board meeting.
15:19
In reality, they're still trying to figure out what's going
15:21
on with Leon Black, that's my guess anyway. And now
15:26
with this March thirtieth board meeting coming up, they're gonna
15:30
have to make a decision one way or the other.
15:38
Asked if they were bothered by the chairman's association with Epstein,
15:41
the trustee added, of course it disturbs me. I have
15:44
a conscience, and I have children. Yeah, look, it should
15:47
disturb anybody. Honestly, you know, I children are not. It's
15:51
just I don't even understand how anyone could look at
15:54
this and be like, oh, yeah, that's just typical business.
15:56
No big deal, No deeper look is warranted here. Last week,
16:03
The New York Post revealed a number of MoMA trustees
16:06
had contacted Black about resigning once his term ends on
16:09
July first. The report indicated the billionaire could rescind the
16:13
museum's access to his vast art holdings, including Edward Munch's
16:17
The Scream, should he leave the board altogether. Remember, if
16:22
MoMA kicks out Black, they lose a chance at his
16:24
personal art collection. One source told the Post, I mean,
16:29
is his art collection really that awesome. I'm sure it's
16:33
great in all, but there's no other pieces of art
16:35
that could be gathered from elsewhere, from other collectors and
16:39
put in those spots. The Black's collection, said to be
16:44
valued at one billion, also includes Head of a Young Apostle,
16:47
a chalk drawing by Raphael purchased for forty eight million,
16:51
the one hundred and six million dollar Picasso sculpture Bust
16:54
of a Woman, and the twenty seven million dollar Constantine
16:58
BRONCUSI sculpture in Space, which is on display at MoMA.
17:02
Pocket change. Folks, imagine we're talking. Let's see forty eight million,
17:07
one hundred and six million, twenty seven million, ah cool
17:11
one hundred and seventy plus, no big deal pocket change.
17:16
Calls for Black's ouster have included a petition signed by
17:19
a phalanx of prominent artists, including Nan Golden and Xavier Simmons,
17:24
who demanded MoMA boot Black over his links to Epstein.
17:28
We as artists and art workers, support the removal of
17:31
Leon Black from the board of MoMA for reasons that
17:34
have already been stated by many others. However, this should
17:38
be considered the bare minimum, the group said in a statement,
17:42
and I think that's pretty powerful, right. I think it's
17:45
time for the people that work inside of these organizations
17:49
to stand up and start doing a little bit of
17:51
house cleaning. And as an artist and somebody who's represented
17:55
by the MoMA and somebody who might have their art there,
17:58
why would you want to be a social shiated with
18:00
anything like this? I know I wouldn't be. I know
18:02
if my art was in this place, I'd be demanding
18:05
this guy step down as well, or at the very
18:08
least he could clean this all up. Go speak to
18:12
the FBI under oath. Go speak with the FBI under oath.
18:20
One of the signatories, Guerrilla Girls, the anonymous feminist art collective,
18:25
said it terminated its book contract with Faden Press in
18:27
twenty nineteen because it's owned by Black. They said, MoMA
18:32
shit acts not only Black, but fellow trustee Glenn Dubin,
18:35
a billionaire whose family has long standing ties to Epstein,
18:39
and whom Virginia Roberts, a survivor of Epstein's sex ring,
18:43
accused of abuse. For sure, Glenn Dubin hasn't been talked
18:47
about much lately, But don't worry. We'll be getting back
18:51
to Glenn Dubin. But He's another one of these people
18:54
that breathe this so called rarefied air who has avoided
19:00
any sort of real scrutiny over this. Now, don't get
19:03
me wrong, there's been some articles posted and he's had
19:05
to take a step back from his business as well.
19:08
But according to what Virginia has to say, and to
19:12
some other reports, especially concerning that fifteen year old Swedish
19:16
girl in his kitchen, I would say that a more
19:19
expansive investigation is called for. Robert, says Epstein and his
19:26
alleged accomplice, Gilain Maxwell, kept her as a sex slave
19:30
and sent her to powerful men, including Britain's Prince Andrew,
19:33
Glenn Dubin, and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. All
19:37
three of the men have denied Robert's accusations. Oh, they
19:41
certainly have, but pretty generic denials. We haven't really seen
19:47
anything to back up what these guys are saying, especially
19:52
in Prince Andrew's case. Seems like every time he opens
19:55
his mouth or one of his representatives open their mouth,
19:58
the hole gets bigger for him. We were outraged by
20:05
black silence about his relationship to a known pedophile, Grilla
20:08
Girl said in a prior statement, So we put up
20:11
a message outside MoMA demanding the museum kick Black off
20:14
its board, along with Epstein pal Glen Dubin, and tell
20:18
the world why it was the least moment could do
20:21
for victims of sexual assault everywhere. I don't disagree, right,
20:25
I do not disagree. All of these people are of
20:28
ill repute, and none of these people should be representing
20:32
a museum like this that should be an inclusive place
20:34
where people feel comfortable going to check out art. It
20:38
shouldn't be a place where people feel bad about themselves
20:40
if they go in there because this place is tainted
20:43
by Leon Black or Glenn Dubin. Just remove those idiots.
20:48
I'm sure there's other rich people that are probably still criminals,
20:51
but maybe not pedophiles, at least that you can get
20:54
to fill that gap. No, the Art group said, how
21:01
could Black, a shrewd businessman and guy around town, not
21:04
have known as money subsidized Epstein's elaborate lifestyle, enabling Epstein
21:09
to continue abusing and trafficking underage girls right up to
21:13
his suspicious death in twenty nineteen. Was Black implicit in
21:17
Epstein's crimes? Yo, the Gorilla Girls are unchained with this right.
21:21
Good for them, Good for them standing up to these
21:24
people and asking the hard questions, you know, the questions
21:27
that the legacy media should be asking. But they don't.
21:32
They have no, they don't have the stomach for it. Right.
21:35
They'd prefer to have their political battles, their little tribalism,
21:39
playing an all a take an all or nothing stakes
21:43
game of Lord of the Flies. Why does MoMA tolerate
21:48
people like Black and d but on its board Gorilla
21:51
Girls added, if we're stuck with a system where our
21:54
tax exempt educational institutions have to depend on money from
21:58
the super rich, they should have at least choose donors
22:01
who make the world a better not a worse place.
22:04
I mean, is that really too much to ask? Is
22:06
that too much to ask to vet your donors and
22:09
to make sure they're not pedophiles and human traffickers. I
22:12
guess that's too much to ask. Black has been under
22:17
fire in the press for his ties to Epstein since
22:20
July twenty nineteen, when Manhattan federal prosecutors charged the sixty
22:25
six year old financier pedophile with exploiting girls as young
22:29
as fourteen from two thousand and two to two thousand
22:32
and five, and the media firestorm didn't fade after Epstein
22:36
killed himself in jail one month later, Allegedly their relationship
22:42
is also being investigated by at least one government official,
22:46
Denise M. George, the Attorney General for the US Virgin Islands,
22:49
who subpoenaed Black as part of her civil racketeering lawsuit
22:52
against Epstein's estate and companies. And I'm really interested to
22:57
see where all of that goes, if it goes anywhere. Now, Remember,
23:02
I am of the opinion that all of these enablers
23:05
are gonna find a way to walk on this. None
23:06
of these people are gonna end up feeling the bite
23:10
of the law. And it's sad because these people have
23:15
very deep, at the very least financial ties to Epstein,
23:18
and they enriched themselves off of his ill gotten gains.
23:22
So they should all be part of a conspiracy case.
23:25
They should all be part of a huge, gigantic RICO case.
23:29
But time is taking folks. What's the federal government doing?
23:33
Where's the Rico case? Where's the Rico charges? George is
23:43
also subpoena Duben for all communications relating to Epstein and
23:47
Dubin's three children, along with records relating to a Swedish
23:51
girl who traveled with Epstein. That's the little fifteen year
23:55
old girl we always talk about and nobody, You know,
23:57
I shouldn't say nobody, because I can't speak for anybody
24:00
body else but me and myself. I have a lot
24:02
of questions about this girl, her identity, and whatever happened
24:06
to her. That story was gut wrenching, crying in the
24:10
in the kitchen, about the the the island, being trapped
24:13
on that island, and then taking her passport, and just
24:17
a whole disturbing, disturbing chapter of this story. Shortly after
24:23
Epstein's New York indictment, Black sent an email to Apollo
24:27
employee's addressing concerns about his relationship with the money manager.
24:32
I was completely unaware of and am deeply troubled by
24:35
the conduct that is now the subject of the federal
24:38
criminal charges brought against him. Black wrote, Oh, now you're
24:42
now hot, Now you have a problem with it, Now
24:45
you're disgusted. Give me a break, okay, Leon Black. You
24:52
knew what Jeffrey Epstein was, you knew what sort of
24:54
monstery was, and you thought that you folks would never
24:58
have to answer for it. Because Jeffrey was never gonna
25:01
get caught again. That's what you all thought. At the
25:06
same time, report surface that Black had donated ten million
25:09
to the financier pedophiles secret foundation Gratitude America Ltd. In
25:14
twenty fifteen using a shell company called BV seventy LLC.
25:19
Oh the shell companies, Oh, the offshore money. Oh, the
25:24
lifeblood of money laundering. And for all of you listening
25:30
to the podcast, well you already know how this works
25:33
because we have blayed out the groundwork. And this is
25:37
the reason I have spent so much time on the
25:40
financial aspect of this. All of these people are connected,
25:45
and if this case was being prosecuted the way it
25:47
should be by the federal government, then all of these
25:50
people involved would be subpoenaed and would be subject to
25:53
criminal liability via their involvement with a money laundering operation. Simple,
26:00
pretty cut and dry. Black felt comfortable making this donation
26:08
because he understood that Epstein was a strong proponent of
26:11
scientific innovation. Apollo's internal review said Black also used BV
26:16
seventy to make thirty and a half million dollars in
26:19
loans to Epstein in connection with an our transaction involving
26:23
the perverted hedge funder who repaid only ten million despite
26:27
Black's demands for repayment throughout twenty eighteen. So why does
26:32
Epstein feel so emboldened to not pay these people back
26:35
all the time? Wesner and Black some of the most
26:39
powerful people on the planet, folks. But yet this college dropout,
26:44
this moronic idiot, Jeffrey Epstein, wields this much power over them. Huh.
26:49
The question I ask you is why their friendship dissolved?
26:56
The report says in October twenty eighteen because of long,
27:00
long running dispute over Epstein's fees. About a month later,
27:06
Epstein became a household name after the Miami Herald published
27:09
a three part xbos into his Palm Beach trafficking ring
27:13
and the lenient two thousand and eight plea deal he
27:15
negotiated with Miami federal prosecutors. All right, so speculation time
27:21
on my part. So Leon Black broke up with Epstein
27:25
quote unquote a month before all of this really broke
27:29
for the second time. Now we know that Black is
27:32
super powerful, and we know that Black has a lot
27:35
of friends in the legacy media. Did they leak this
27:38
to him? Did they tell him that what was coming
27:41
down the pipe with Epstein to try and give him
27:43
some time to distance himself. Now, again, this is speculation
27:47
on my part, but it would make sense right that
27:50
he had some inside information from the legacy media about
27:55
this coming down the pipe. That way he could distance himself.
28:02
Apollo's internal record said Black and Epstein met through an
28:05
unnamed mutual friend in the mid nineteen nineties and developed
28:09
a personal relationship an unknown friend. Huh interesting. While Black
28:13
and Epstein discussed the state planning, philanthropy, and related issues
28:17
over the years, Black did not engage Epstein to provide
28:21
him with any services until twenty twelve. The report claims.
28:25
As if that's any better, that's after his arrest. Folks,
28:27
all right, keep that in mind. Everybody knew what Jeffrey
28:29
Epstein was, and then Black went out and recruited him gross. Initially,
28:40
Black viewed Epstein as someone who was very intelligent and
28:42
knowledgeable regarding issues relating to a state planning and taxation.
28:46
Black also was impressed by Epstein's connections to many prominent
28:50
figures in business, politics, and science. There's the rub Black
28:54
knew that Epstein had contacts and the contact's equal power.
28:58
What doll I tell you all the time here on
28:59
the podcast. Information is more important than money to these people.
29:05
Epstein spoke knowledgeably about scientific innovation and technology. He introduced
29:10
Black to well regarded researchers at Harvard University and MIT,
29:16
and encouraged Black to donate to charitable causes that supported
29:19
scientific development. Oh, I'm sure, I'm sure he did. With
29:25
Epstein bringing Black in to give the universities more money.
29:28
That increases Epstein's worth to these universities and therefore makes
29:34
his hooks go deeper into the back of their neck.
29:37
That's how all of this works, folks. That's how this works.
29:40
This is no different than a mafia scam or something
29:43
that the cartel would be running. And MIT reports that
29:48
Epstein claimed to have set up anonymous donations for the
29:51
school's media lab from Black and Microsoft co founder Bill Gates.
29:57
Another absolute scumbag. By the way, Bill Gates. Black is
30:03
publicly acknowledged donating to charity is affiliated with Epstein, but
30:06
is not specifically addressed whether he donated to MIT or
30:10
whether Epstein asked him to donate to MIT. The document concluded, notably,
30:16
we did not find any evidence that the money donated
30:19
by Gates or Black actually was Epstein's money. That is,
30:22
there is no evidence that Gates and Black acted to
30:25
launder Epstein's money. The backlash over Epstein's donations to the
30:29
MIT Media Lab caused director joy Eto to resign in
30:33
twenty nineteen. Oh contraire, there is definitely evidence that this
30:39
is laundered money, in my opinion, and just because Deckert
30:42
didn't find any evidence of that, it doesn't satiate my
30:46
quest for answers. Sorry, I need a real independent investigation
30:50
of this. Fritz part Harvard noted that Epstein helped two
30:56
professors obtain millions in donations from Black, Martin who helmed
31:00
the university program in evolutionary dynamics, and Harvard Medical School
31:06
geneticist George Church. Jeffrey Epstein introduced mister Black to the
31:11
research that was being undertaken by professors Church and Noak.
31:16
A representative for Black told Harvard Council for the university's
31:19
own report. So Epstein was acting as the middleman, right,
31:24
he was facilitating all of these donations from all of
31:27
these big whigs to Harvard. And what were these people
31:32
getting in return? What was Leon Black getting in return
31:35
for these donations. What was Glenn Dubin getting or Les Wexner.
31:43
These are the questions that need to be answered. Mister
31:50
Black met with professors Noak and Church to discuss their
31:54
research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and in the case of Professor Church,
31:59
also at Black's New York office. The gifts made in
32:02
support of Professor Church and Professor Noact research were made
32:06
by mister Black, None of the funds were provided by
32:09
mister Epstein, and no attempt was made to conceal the
32:13
source of these gifts. I mean, come on, these guys
32:18
were making these donations for Jeffrey Epstein is what it
32:21
looks like, and they were just using it, doing it
32:23
in their names so that there would be no blowback
32:26
on Jeffrey Epstein or the university. So they were acting
32:29
as middlemen. Imagine being this billionaire and being manipulated by
32:34
Jeffrey Epstein to act as a middleman. The Apollo Report
32:41
further illustrated the social and financial ties that bound Epstein
32:44
and Black. In nineteen ninety seven, Black named Epstein a
32:47
director of his family foundation whose only other officers were
32:51
himself and spouse Debrah. Convenient only three people involved, all
32:56
of the dark dirty secrets between husband, wife and Epstein,
33:00
and there's nobody else in the know. Pretty easy to
33:04
move around in the shadows that way, huh. While Black
33:09
clams Epstein left the position in mid two thousand and seven,
33:12
when the FBI was investigating him in Palm Beach for
33:15
abusing minors, the foundation's tax forms continue to list Epstein
33:19
through twenty twelve. So I'm gonna go with the twenty
33:22
twelve number. Okay, that's what the tax forms say. And
33:26
I thought that's what we're all interested in, the taxes,
33:28
So all right, twenty and twelve is the number that
33:31
I'm gonna go with. And Black continued to socialize with
33:35
Epstein and pay him for his state and tax planning,
33:38
among other services, even after his two thousand and eight
33:42
conviction in Florida. That's a stand up guy, that Leon Black. Huh.
33:46
Let me pay this sex offender some more money after
33:49
his arrest and bring him into my confidence. And you
33:51
know what, I'm gonna bring him over to meet my family.
33:56
Following Epstein's prison sentence, Black believed that Epstein had served
34:00
his time and then it would not be inappropriate to
34:03
maintain a personal and professional relationship with Epstein. Oh, well, look,
34:07
if the guy was in jail for a money laundering
34:10
or a basic thievery or a Ponzi scheme or something,
34:14
all right, I get it, he's a scumbag, but we're
34:17
still friends. But for this, what he was accused of,
34:21
what he went to prison for, and you're still gonna
34:23
be friends with him, I mean, what the hell is
34:26
wrong with you? At the time, Black thought Epstein's crimes
34:32
were limited to a single instance of soliciting a seventeen
34:35
year old prostitute that Black believed Epstein had mistakenly understood
34:39
was older. The report also says Black believes in rehabilitation
34:44
and giving people second chances. Well, that's all fine and well,
34:48
and if that's the case, I challenge Leon Black to
34:51
put those billions to work for real justice reform and
34:55
real reform within the prison system. According to the Real
35:00
Black viewed with Epstein as a friend worthy of his trust.
35:03
The billionaire regularly visited Epstein in New York, including at
35:07
events and other prominent guests, and confided in Epstein on
35:11
personal matters. Certainly doesn't sound like somebody who just knew somebody. Huh.
35:15
I don't have any acquaintances that I call up and
35:18
talk to about personal matters, okay, and people that I
35:21
do business with, unless they're close friends, I don't call
35:24
them up and complain about my problems either. Black and
35:30
his wife visited Epstein as his residence in France, Florida,
35:34
the Caribbean, and New Mexico, but never spent the night.
35:37
The report claims, Okay, wait a minute, so what did
35:41
they do in New Mexico? Then? So they flew down
35:43
to New Mexico, went to the ranch, and then drove
35:47
from Stanley to Santa Fe to the Motel six. I'm
35:51
not buying any of that. At Epstein's request, Black and
35:56
his wife provided transportation from Santa Fe to California on
36:00
Black's plane to two or more of Epstein's adult guests
36:04
in Santa Fe. A footnote in the report states, oh boy,
36:08
old boy, it is getting real in Santa Fe. What
36:13
the hell is happening down there? The story in Santa
36:17
Fe is still yet to be told, folks, and I
36:21
am so so interested in what really went on down there.
36:27
There is so much more to be uncovered at that
36:31
ranch and within the surrounding vicinity. Black viewed Epstein as
36:37
a confirmed bachelor with eclectic tastes who often employed attractive
36:41
women in The review says, however, Black did not believe
36:45
that any of the women in Epstein's employ were underage.
36:48
Black has no recollection of ever seeing Epstein with an
36:51
underage woman at any time. Yeah, plausible deniability. How are
36:55
you supposed to know? Again, what are all with? All
36:57
these guys think that there are I D. Specialists they
37:01
can check IDs and know if it's real or if
37:02
it's fake, or they could just look at a girl
37:04
and know if she's overaged. I mean, come on, nobody knows.
37:09
They don't know if they're over age or not. The
37:12
internal report says that for years Epstein managed Black's art
37:16
collection and counseled him on forming a new art partnership
37:19
and obtaining a potential advisory opinion from the New York
37:23
State Department of Taxation and Finance regarding a contemplated transaction
37:28
involving Black's art. Oh yeah, because you know just what
37:31
These idiots need. More tax breaks, more loopholes, more ways
37:35
not to pay up. Meanwhile, April fifteenth is approaching very quickly, folks.
37:40
You better have your shit in order. Epstein was also
37:46
fairly involved in assisting Black in connection with the sale
37:49
of certain pieces of artwork, and advised him on the
37:51
contested ownership of a Picasso sculpture. I mean, is it
37:56
not clear, folks, how deep these ties are? Is it
37:59
not that Black and Epstein went much further than just
38:04
a business relationship. In twenty fifteen, Black purchased a bust
38:10
of a woman from the artist's daughter, Maya Windmeer Picasso
38:14
for one hundred and six million dollars. The Katari royal
38:18
family and their agents, however, challenged the transaction. They said
38:22
they'd already reached a deal with the Picassos to buy
38:26
the sculpture for about forty two million dollars two years before.
38:30
Both sides reached the settlement in twenty sixteen, with Black
38:34
the winner of the piece. Now think about that for
38:36
a minute. That's how powerful Leon Black and Epstein were.
38:39
They went up against the Katari royal family, who has
38:42
more money than the Lord himself, and they came out victorious.
38:50
Around the same time Black in Epstein's relationship started to unravel,
38:54
Epstein began demanding tens of millions in fees for supposedly
38:58
coming up with a tax planning stract transaction that saved
39:01
Black six hundred million. And this is what always happens
39:04
with these people, right, the greed gets the best of them.
39:07
There's never enough. They're so gluttonous that there is never
39:11
enough for them. He emailed Black throughout twenty sixteen in
39:16
twenty seventeen to pressure him to pay more for the expertise.
39:21
Epstein also would invoke his friendship with Black in those emails,
39:24
the Apollo Report says, including by referencing personal matters that
39:29
Black had shared with Epstein in confidence, although there is
39:32
no evidence that those matters had any relationship to any
39:36
of Epstein's criminal activity or to any of Black's payments
39:40
to Epstein. Well, those emails should be given to the FBI.
39:43
The FBI should demand those emails, in fact, subpoena them,
39:46
and let's get them introduced to evidence. Black per the report,
39:54
was shocked when Epstein's sex crimes made news in late
39:56
twenty eighteen. Oh yeah, and I was shocked when I
40:00
I woke up this morning, turned on the shower, got
40:02
in and the water was wet. Some witnesses noted specifically
40:07
that they did not believe Black would have allowed Epstein
40:09
to be introduced to Black's wife. And children. If Black
40:12
had any suspicion that Epstein had done anything inappropriate or
40:16
illegal with girls or young women, the review says, Yeah,
40:20
I disagree. What we have found throughout this story is
40:24
all of these people bring their kids up and their
40:27
wife up as an excuse or as a shield, and
40:29
it's disgusting every single time. Why should Black be any different?
40:37
But at least one guest who attended a swanky pool
40:39
party at Black's Hampton's property in twenty fifteen was surprised
40:43
to see Epstein among the swimsuit clad revelers. Leon had
40:47
a personal relationship with Jeffrey, and I found it odd.
40:50
One witness told the post, why was what Jeffrey did
40:54
not that bad? Well? All I could say about that
40:58
is the only crime that you can commit when you're
41:02
in that circle with these so called elite is the
41:06
crime of being broke, Human trafficking, sex trafficking, sex offenses.
41:12
Those are all forgivable offenses. You know, though. The one
41:16
thing that they cannot forgive is people being poor. That's
41:21
the one unbreakable, that's the one unmovable mountain to these people.
41:30
So it shouldn't come as a shock that they welcome
41:33
Jeffrey Epstein with open arms. It shouldn't come as a
41:35
shock that Jeffrey Epstein and Leon Black were so close.
41:40
And now as all of this starts to unfold and
41:44
the curtain is pulled back, how many other people are
41:48
going to be exposed for their relationships with Epstein? I
41:53
hope a lot, because every single one of these people
41:56
that works in finance and all of these people who
42:00
were involved with these transactions and they they really really
42:06
helped Jeffrey Epstein abuse these girls. Not physically right, they
42:10
weren't in the room according to what we know so far,
42:13
but their money enabled all of this to occur, and
42:17
for that transgression, they need to answer. If you'd like
42:23
to contact me, you can do that at Bobbykapuchi at
42:25
ProtonMail dot com. That's b O. B b Y c

42:39
All of the links that go at this episode can
42:41
be found in the description box. All right, folks, I'll
42:45
be back later on tonight if there's some new news.
42:47
If not, it'll be a flashback episode and we'll be
42:50
back tomorrow morning for a fresh start. All right, everybody
42:53
have a great Wednesday night. So Leon Black, one of
43:00
Jeffrey Epstein's BFFs, is now under investigation. Now we have
43:08
covered the allegations against him by Missus Gunieva, but now
43:16
the report is that those allegations have turned into a
43:21
criminal investigation. And my comment to that is about time,
43:27
about time. Leon Black should have been caught up in
43:32
a RICO investigation in regards to Jeffrey Epstein a long
43:36
time ago. But unfortunately the Department of Justice is scared.
43:41
The Department of Justice still doesn't have any backbone. And
43:46
Merrick Garland is no better than Bill Barr. I said
43:51
what I said. If he was well, we'd see more
43:56
movement here, wouldn't we. But like I told you, ring
44:00
the whole transition of power, meet the new boss, same
44:03
as the old boss. The only people who think differently
44:07
are those engaging in tribalism folks. Meanwhile, over here at
44:11
the adults table, we want them all to be eviscerated.
44:16
We want them all to be brought in, and the
44:19
best way to do that would be RICO. But no,
44:23
and it's funny you don't see the legacy media pining
44:25
for Rico either, why not? They sure were quick to
44:28
yell about it for r Kelly or Rainieri. I wonder
44:32
what they have to hide. The party's over for all
44:36
of these people, and you know, the days of being
44:41
nice and friendly should be over as well. If you're
44:44
named in these court documents and you have allegations against
44:48
you by these survivors, you should be persona non grata.
44:54
But that's not how it works, is it not. If
44:56
you're one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends. Leon Black should have
45:02
been smashed with Rico, his assets should have been seized,
45:06
and Apollo Global should have been raided. But that's in
45:11
a perfect world. That's not the world we live in,
45:14
the world that we have built. Remember, like George Carlin said,
45:17
we can plain and bitch and moan about these politicians,
45:20
yet we send them back every single cycle. So whose
45:23
responsibility is it? Really? The responsibility is ours. But unfortunately
45:30
people are way too gas lit, people are way too
45:32
caught up with hate in their neighbors, and then scumbags
45:36
like Leon Black get to slide by. And that's why
45:41
I talk about this so much, and I try to
45:43
point it out so much, because we're almost out of
45:46
point now, folks, where there's no going back with the
45:48
divide in the country, and that can only lead to
45:51
bad things. And people like this Leon Black, they take
45:55
advantage of chaos, They take advantage of the citizenry at
46:00
war with each other. Basically, just take a look at
46:03
how they've increased their wealth while the rest of us
46:05
got poor. And then at the same time they have
46:07
the audacity to stand up there and gaslight people into
46:11
thinking that people who were collecting unemployment were the problem. Well,
46:15
guess what, That's obviously not the case, right because there's
46:19
still a bunch of job openings, aren't there. There's still
46:22
a bunch of people leaving their jobs, aren't there. So
46:29
even during the most destructive catastrophes, their goal is to
46:34
divide us. Oh you're vaccinated, you're not. Oh you got unemployment,
46:38
you didn't. Meanwhile, bitch ass Leon Black is swimming through
46:45
his money like Scrooge McDuck and laughing at us. And
46:51
I'm sick of it, folks, I really am. I get
46:53
onto Twitter, and it's an absolute cesspool. So many people
46:58
who fake the funk, so many people who act like
47:00
they're really interested in justice about Jeffrey Epstein, really aren't
47:04
interested in justice. They're interested in playing politics like everything else.
47:10
And most of the time I just ignore all of
47:13
it and keep it moving. But as a political scientist,
47:18
I'm starting to get tired of the bullshit I see.
47:23
It is very annoying when people who obviously never even
47:27
passed a basic Civics class think they know about politics.
47:31
You do not. You know how the KGB used to
47:38
talk about useful idiots, Well, that is all of us
47:42
who are engaging in this nonsense. And it used to
47:46
be me as well. I used to be right there
47:48
with the rest of the idiots. Everything changed for me
47:54
when I started looking into Jeffrey Epstein and I understood
47:57
the scope of how massive this was, how far ranging
48:01
it was, and how it involved all of them on
48:04
both sides of the aisle. And my friends, we have
48:09
ourselves a problem. When we're not paying attention to what
48:14
the most powerful people in our society are doing, we
48:18
are setting ourselves up for disaster. And when I talk
48:22
about rich people, remember I don't mean people are making
48:25
four hundred thousand dollars a year like President Junior Soprano
48:29
Biden does. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking
48:33
about the real rich people in this country, in this world,
48:36
the handful that control everything. And I don't mean sitting
48:40
in some back room like some conspiracy theorists would talk about.
48:43
I'm talking to people that pull the levers in the
48:45
financial sector. Those are the people that run everything. Money
48:52
makes the whole world go around, doesn't it. These are
48:55
the people that are the issue, and these are the
48:57
people that control our politicians. Can you name me the
49:00
last president that showed up and didn't bring a fuck
49:03
ton of bankers with him. I'm waiting. And the whole
49:09
reason for this rant before we get into the article
49:13
is because it leads to this, people like Leon Black
49:16
and Jeffrey Epstein skirting by and I'm sick of it.
49:20
I'm not gonna I'm not standing for it. Obviously, I'm
49:23
doing everything that I possibly can to bring awareness to
49:26
the issue. But it's kind of discouraging when you see
49:33
people who talk out of one side of their mouth,
49:35
how oh it's all about justice, But out of the
49:38
other side of their mouth, all they can do is
49:40
demean one side or the other. That's not how it works,
49:43
that's not how you build unity. So miss me with
49:48
all of the bullshit especially the tribalism and the politics.
49:52
I don't care about it, not in this instance. I've
49:55
said it once and I'll say it again, full on
49:58
carpet bombing of any can you want to involved, Republican,
50:01
Democrat or anything in between, because if not, if we
50:07
continue to play games and the pitchforks and the torches,
50:10
or continue to be at each other's throats, then people
50:12
like Leon Black are going to continue to abuse our
50:15
children and folks. Look, I don't have any kids. This
50:20
isn't a fight for my children. This is a fight
50:23
for your children. So please remember that before you fire
50:30
off that incendiary message to your friend or your uncle
50:35
or whatever, because we're playing right into their hands, and
50:44
I really wish more people would wake up to what's
50:46
going on. All Right, now that you've listened to me
50:50
Winge for eight minutes and eleven seconds, why don't we
50:53
jump into this article and talk about bitch ass Leon Black?
50:57
Shall we? Today's article from the Daily Mail? The author
51:02
is David aver AVERR. Sorry, David, I'm terrible at pronouncing names.
51:07
As you all know, his last name is spelled av
51:10
e r r E, so I apologize if I mispronounced
51:15
your name. PA headline. Billionaire financier Leon Black, seventy is
51:21
being investigated over accusations he raped two Russian models, including
51:25
one in Jeffrey Epstein's Upper east Side townhouse in two
51:28
thousand and two. Hell of a guy, this, Leon Black. Huh,
51:32
certainly the kind of guy that you'd love to send
51:34
your daughter to go work for, said nobody. Ever, and again, look,
51:40
I don't know what happened here, right, I wasn't there.
51:43
But what what I will tell you is this, anybody
51:46
who is hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein's suspect, in my opinion,
51:50
anybody who's palaling around with Jeffrey Epstein, it's reasonable to
51:54
assume they might be engaging in this sort of behavior
51:57
as well. So that's why when we got these allegations
52:01
from miss Ganieva, I thought that they were credible. Now again,
52:06
that's just my opinion, right, I don't have evidence to
52:08
prove that her allegations are credible, but well, looks like
52:13
the authorities are taking them a bit serious. Hauh. Billionaire
52:20
financier Leon Black is now believed to be the subject
52:23
of a Manhattan District Attorney's Office investigation into claims that
52:26
he raped and sexually assaulted two models. Black seventy, a
52:31
close friend of notorious financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was
52:35
first publicly accused of rape and sexual abuse to March
52:39
by Guzelle Ganieva, who is thirty eight. Ganieva alleged Black
52:44
as a violent, sadistic sexual predator who raped and harassed her,
52:48
then coerced her into signing a non disclosure agreement. She
52:52
went on to file a lawsuit against Black in June.
52:56
So again, when this lawsuit was filed, I said it, then,
53:01
if she's not telling the truth, she's gonna be in
53:03
big trouble because Leon Black is going to employ a
53:06
team of scumbag lawyers to dig into what she has
53:09
to say. So she has to be ready to walk
53:11
through the fire. And it sure seems like she was,
53:13
doesn't it. And good for her, Miss Ganiheva, if you
53:17
happen to hear this episode, good for you. Take that
53:22
shit back from them, that stupid ass non disclosure agreement. Sorry,
53:27
that doesn't mean anything, not when it comes to this,
53:30
to your dignity, to your future. So all you rich
53:35
scumbags out there with your non disclosure agreements, take them
53:38
and shove them. It's a new day, all right. Nobody
53:41
should have to sign a non disclosure agreement when it
53:44
comes to a relationship as far as uh one of
53:46
sexual nature. Oh, I don't want my wife to find out. Well,
53:50
here's an idea, don't cheat on your wife. Then the
53:57
model then amended her lawsuit in September to include the
54:01
accusations of a second woman referred to only as Jane Doe,
54:04
who alleged she was violently raped by Black and Jeffrey
54:07
Epstein's New York residence in two thousand and two. So
54:11
it all fits right with the timeline. We know what
54:13
was going on there in two thousand and two, We
54:16
know the behavior that Jeffrey Epstein and his goon squad
54:20
were engaging in. So why would anyone think that this
54:25
doesn't have legs? Why would anyone think that this isn't
54:28
gonna go anywhere? And really, what it comes down to
54:30
is everyone scared of Leon Black. I remember when I
54:34
worked in the financial sector, the talk about Leon Black
54:38
was everyone was fearful. And I worked for Cannor Gaming
54:45
Howard Lutnik, and they were very powerful as well, but
54:50
nobody was moving the needle like Leon Black when it
54:53
comes to fear or people uh not wanting to step
54:57
on his toes. So of course the meat is scared
55:00
shitless of them. The guy's banging off at Apollo Global.
55:04
I don't think people understand the scope of Apollo Global's reach.
55:10
These are very powerful people. We are talking some of
55:13
the most powerful people in the history of finance. So
55:19
we know the legacy media is scared to him and
55:21
they don't want to go hard against him. So it's
55:23
up to independent content creators, independent journalists. And guess what
55:27
I'm here for it Not one of these people ticks
55:33
off any bit of fear in my heart, not at all.
55:36
What are they going to do? Show up and follow
55:39
me around like Ronan Pharaoh. I got news for you.
55:42
I'm not roaning Pharaoh. I'll just leave it at that.
55:47
You come to the inner City where I live and
55:49
you want to follow me around? Okay, sounds like fun,
55:53
but you better have a badge. None of these people
55:57
elicit one bit of fear from me. And I'll continue
56:01
talking about them until my beard grows to my feet
56:05
and it's as white as snow and they ain't gonna
56:08
do shit about it. How about that? Run home and
56:12
tell that it's too bad the legacy media, Well, it's
56:17
too bad they don't have a backbone. A legal spokesperson
56:23
for Black has thus far denied any knowledge of the investigation,
56:26
while the man himself has steadfastly denied accusations. The lawsuit
56:31
and resulting investigation comes after Black, once one of New
56:35
York City's most powerful executives as the former CEO of
56:39
Apollo Global Management, denied any knowledge of Epstein's wrongdoing when
56:43
his heinous crimes were exposed. Oh yeah, he knew nothing.
56:47
You know, you just give one hundred and fifty eight
56:49
million dollars to people you don't know shit about. Hey,
56:52
here you go, bro, here's a quick one hundred and
56:54
fifty eight million. I don't need to know shit about you, though.
56:56
Can I get some advice? What? What does that even mean?
57:00
What does any of this even mean? And if you
57:04
can't tell, I'm fired up this morning. I've had enough
57:07
of people like Leon Black, and I've certainly had enough
57:09
of their apologist too. This dude is obviously somebody who
57:16
was deeply, deeply connected to Jeffrey Epstein one hundred and
57:20
fifty eight million dollars worth and still somehow there was
57:24
no investigation into him and his ties with Jeffrey Epstein.
57:28
But oh, let's all just stop everything we're doing and
57:32
let's go and investigate the Washington football team. That's your Congress, folks,
57:38
that's what you voted for. And if it's not, my
57:43
suggestion is remember that. In twenty twenty two, the investigation
57:50
into Black has reportedly been launched after Ganieva and Jane
57:54
Doe met with prosecutors to discuss their claims, according to
57:58
sources cited by Vanity Fair. It comes just one week
58:02
after Black made his first high profile public appearance in
58:05
months at the Beverly Hilton, when he attended a conference
58:08
on finance, of which his son Ben, a private equity executive,
58:13
was a part. And that's the thing with these people,
58:15
It doesn't matter the allegations against you. The only crime
58:19
when you're part of the so called elite is to
58:22
not have money. That's it. You can rate, you can traffic,
58:26
you can steal, whatever it is, doesn't matter. You'll be
58:29
welcomed with open arms. Don't be poor. Though. The saga
58:36
began in March, when Ganieva first went public with their
58:39
accusations about Black's long standing history of sebuse and chorus
58:43
of behavior. Black resigned from his position as head of
58:47
the massive investment firm Apollo Global on March twenty second,
58:51
just days after Ghanieva posted a series of tweets claiming
58:55
that her abuse at the hands of Black started in
58:58
two thousand and eight and until two thy and fifteen.
59:03
But it's okay, folks. She signed a non prosecution agreement
59:07
or I mean a non disclosure agreement, and you know
59:09
she wore a short skirt, so it's okay. The thought
59:13
pattern of these people makes me fucking crazy, and it's
59:16
up to other alphamels, other dudes who aren't punk bitches
59:20
to step up and say something about it. And I
59:24
see a lack of that as well. She went on
59:28
to file a lawsuit against the billionaire financier in June,
59:31
in which she branded him a violent and sadistic sexual
59:34
predator who raped and harassed her, before alleging that the
59:37
former CEO of Apollo Global Management forced her to fly
59:41
to Florida to satisfy the sex needs of Jeffrey Epstein
59:44
at his Palm Beach villa. Black had previously admitted to
59:48
having a six year affair with Ganieva, which he claims
59:51
was consensual, and said he paid Ganieva one hundred grand
59:55
a month for fifteen years not to discuss the relationship. Imagine,
1:00:00
one hundred grand a month sounds like a lot of money, right,
1:00:02
Not really, not when you're giving Jeffrey Epstein one hundred
1:00:05
and fifty eight million dollars. Again, I ask you, what
1:00:08
is one hundred If you're only giving her one hundred
1:00:10
thousand dollars a month one point two million dollars a
1:00:13
year to keep quiet? What could Jeffrey Epstein be worth
1:00:16
at one hundred and fifty eight million. Go ahead and
1:00:20
chew on that for a little while. Folks, put that
1:00:22
shit in your pipe and smoke it, because I can't
1:00:25
make heads or tails of it. Lawyers for Ganieva then
1:00:31
in September filed an amended complaint detailing the horrific experiences
1:00:36
of A. Jane Doe, who says she was violently raped
1:00:38
by Black in two thousand and two. The legal team
1:00:42
said Jane Doe's experiences show that, contrary to Black's version
1:00:46
of the events, that he knew nothing about Epstein's sexual wrongdoing,
1:00:49
as alleged, Black was perpetrating his own sexual crimes at
1:00:54
Epstein's home as far back as two thousand and two. Again,
1:00:59
where is the SDNY? Where is Alison mo and Marine
1:01:05
Komi and the rest of them? Why is this not
1:01:08
a Rico case? I really wish somebody would answer that
1:01:13
question for me. I really really do. And when I'm
1:01:16
in New York, I'm gonna try and get that question
1:01:19
answered by these prosecutors. I'm gonna ask them and we're
1:01:22
gonna see what they have to say. And I don't
1:01:23
care if I have to go to the prosecutor's office.
1:01:26
That's what all happened. I have had enough at this point, folks,
1:01:29
I am as fed up as I have ever been.
1:01:35
Going a step further, the motion alleges that Black had
1:01:37
a long standing relationship with Epstein for years that involved
1:01:41
arranged massages with women for money at Epstein's home. How
1:01:45
is he not part of the criminal conspiracy? You're at
1:01:48
his house, You're getting massages from trafficked girls, You're moving
1:01:53
money around with him. How is this not everything that
1:01:57
we talk about on a daily basis. Oh, that's right,
1:01:59
it is. But there is a two tier justice system
1:02:04
in this country, and I don't need to keep telling
1:02:06
you that. Just take a look for yourself. Jane Do
1:02:13
alleged that a short while into her association with Epstein,
1:02:16
she was violently assaulted by Black after he instructed her
1:02:20
to give him a massage at Epstein's home. The suit
1:02:23
is that a huge black, a huge black, standing more
1:02:26
than six foot four inch and weighing more than three
1:02:28
hundred pounds, brutally raped her before paying her off. Imagine
1:02:34
this disgusting, son of a bitch. And it's multiple girls
1:02:39
saying this now, multiple women. According to Black, Um he
1:02:45
provided substantial documentary evidence in legal filings, including text messages
1:02:49
and recordings, that show miss Ganieva's claims to be completely false. Well,
1:02:54
I'd like to see all of that, and I certain
1:02:56
like to see where all of this goes. The point
1:02:58
of the matter is this for me anyway, not so
1:03:01
much as what we know about this unfolding situation. For me,
1:03:06
it's everything else, the profile that's built of Leon Black previously,
1:03:11
his relationship with Epstein, his behavior with Epstein, the money,
1:03:14
and now this. How is he not part of this investigation?
1:03:18
How are there not indictments for Kahn and Indyke and
1:03:21
the Core four? How is it that it's only Gallainne
1:03:25
Maxwell sitting in that jel cell right now. Now. Don't
1:03:28
get me wrong, she belongs there, But all of this
1:03:31
other stuff needs to occur as well, or it's a
1:03:35
failure on the part of the authorities. And frankly, I'm
1:03:40
tired of it. I'm tired of all of their big talk.
1:03:42
I'm tired of all we're gonna go after the most
1:03:45
powerful to only again go after the most vulnerable. And
1:03:52
there was all kinds of excitement when Trump was leaving
1:03:54
and Biden was coming in, and I was told by
1:03:56
so many people how different things were gonna be. Yeah,
1:03:59
my question is when, folks, when are things gonna be different?
1:04:02
Because as of right now, shit still is the same.
