Leon Black Responds To The New York Times · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: And the headline Apollo CEO Black says he regrets ties
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to Epstein, denies any wrongdoing. This article was authored by
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Chabuki Ogu and Lawrence Delvine. So he says he regrets
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: his ties to Epstein, but he denies any wrongdoing. And again,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I made that pretty clear every time I've ever talked
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: about this guy and these other bankers. I'm not saying
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that these dudes were involved in the actual trafficking part
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise. I'm not saying that they
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: were part of any abuse unless one of the survivors
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: comes out and says differently. What I am saying, though,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: is that they most certainly enabled Jeffrey Epstein, and it
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: certainly looks like they were engaged in some sort of
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: financial douche baggery together as well. Now I don't have
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that direct evidence to tie that up in a nice
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: little bow for everybody, but I can point to the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: circumstantial evidence, and you know, when it comes down to it,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Like I said previously, I'm a big believer in Okham's
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: raisor right. So here we are. Apollo Global Management Incorporated
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Chief executive Leon Black told the buyout firms investors on
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Monday that he regretted having had ties to the late
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but denied any
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: wrongdoing or inappropriate conduct related to his business and social
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: relationship with Epstein. So again, that's the excuse they'll all use, Right, Well,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what he was up to. I didn't
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: know this dude was such a pervert. I didn't know
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: that he was involved in a child sex trafficking ring.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that he was trafficking women. And that's
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the tired and used excuse that these people have used
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: ever since Epstein was arrested the first time around. And
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: guess what. Unfortunately it's been okay, hey, people have accepted it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: The legacy media has accepted it. Nobody has really challenged
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: these people on this stuff. And whenever something is brought up, well,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: they want to run away from it as fast and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: as far as they can. Right, no comment, or they'll
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: give you some sort of canned comment or like in
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: this instance, they'll play down their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: even though all of the evidence that we have seen
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: points to something completely different. I mean, we're not talking
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: about five dollars here, of folks, all right, we're not
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: talking about one hundred dollars in a poker game. We're
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: not talking about anything like that. We're talking about fifty
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to seventy five million dollars. That's not the kind of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: money you give an acquaintance. That's not the kind of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: money you're just throwing around. Just because of all the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: financial advisors, all of the charitable douchebags running around and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: so called polite society, Jeffrey Epstein was the only one
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that Leon Black could come up with. Stop it, Black
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: wrote to the firm's investors after The New York Times
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: reported on Monday that he wired between fifty million and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: seventy five million to Epstein as far back as two
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: thousand and eight. And remember it wasn't just in two
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: thousand and eight, right, The relationship spanned a lot longer
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: than that, a much longer from the time where Epstein
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: was convicted to the time that they supposedly stopped being friends.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So you mean, in that whole entire time, Black had
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: never heard the rumors of what Jeffrey Epstein truly was.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Black had never heard the rumors or had never heard
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: about the non prosecution agreement, not one word. Huh. You know.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: For people that run around and want us to believe
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that they're so smart, they're pretty damn stupid, aren't they.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Reuters could not determine how long Black continued to wire money. Epstein,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: who was charged by federal prosecutors with sex trafficking last year,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: committed suicide in his New York City jail cell in
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: August twenty nineteen before his trial, allegedly, and as far
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: as determining how long Black continued to wire money, it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: rather obvious they were homies all the way up till
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that second arrest. And of course it's always the same
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: with these people, right, Oh, he stole from me, or
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: there was some financial miscalculations on my part, or my
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: decision making was bad. Never, never any kind of real
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: self reflection, right, Never really saying and taking responsibility for
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the fact that you weren't a business. Look, if you
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: were just a business associate with this guy, then that's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: one thing, right, But this is a whole different matter.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Business associates aren't the ones getting invited to that island.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Epstein's inner circle and those that he wants to get
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: caught up in his blackmail game. Those are the people
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that are being invited to the island. So my question
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: for Leon Black is which one are you, sir? While
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Black's business ties to Epstein were already known, the Time
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: story outlined previously unreported payments as well as socializing between
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the two financiers, well, the one scumbag financier at the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: very least, which would be Black, and then the pedophile financier,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: which would be Epstein. You guys, notice a trend yet
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: with these so called financiers. It's like socialites. No wonder
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: they go together so well, two scummy ass institution, two
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: scummy ass parts of society. Financier, I'm a financier, Biff,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: go get the car. We're going to the golf tournament.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Give me a break with these people. I mean, I'm
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: just sickened by them. The whole off financier and socialite
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and all of it needs to be crushed under heel.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: These people truly believe that they are better than the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: rest of us. I was completely unaware of and continue
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to be appalled by, the reprehensible conduct that surfaced at
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the end of twenty eighteen and led to the federal
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: criminal charges brought against mister Epstein, Black wrote to Apollo
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Fund investors in a letter seen by Reuters. Now, remember,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: we're going to read that letter as well in its
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: entirety as soon as we're done with this article. But
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: it's bull Look, it's absolute bullshit. I was completely unaware
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of and continue to be appalled by the reprehensible conduct
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that surfaced at the end of twenty eighteen, as if
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: it just surfaced in twenty and eighteen. I mean, a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: monkey with learning disabilities could Google and figure out that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein was a scumbag. You mean to tell me,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: mister a hot shot Leon Black, mister Apollo ef in
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Global himself has no idea what Jeffrey Epstein is. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: if that's the case, and you're an investor out there,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: why would you put one single dollar into anything that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: this guy's involved with. If he's too stupid to use
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a search engine, why would I let him safeguard my money?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: An Apollo spokeswoman said that Black acted in a personal
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: capacity and that the private equity firm had not done
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: any business with Epstein. Apollo shares dropped five point seven
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: percent on Monday to close that forty three dollars and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: ninety cents. I love it. Smack them right in the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: old pocketbook. Oh you want it to hurt. It's like
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: kicking this guy in the fruits. When you blast him
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in the pocketbook, folks, take a couple of bucks out
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of this guy's pocket. Forget it. Forget it. That and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: shame are the two things that move the needle with
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: these people. That is it. That is all. And when
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I say shame, it's not that they feel shame. I'm
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: talking about shame in the eye of the commoner, right
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the pleab you and I, Because what that does is
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: they're no longer invited into their so called polite society anymore,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and they become persona non grata like we're seeing now.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: In the wake of Epstein's death and Maxwell's arrest, it
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: went from everybody wanting to take a picture with those two,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: everybody wanting to hang out with those two, to everybody
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: not knowing who they were. It sure is one large
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: ass case of amnesia. Black said in a letter that
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Epstein provided professional services to his family partnership and related
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: family entities involving estate planning, tax and philanthropic advice. So
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: again I ask you Leon Black, one of the richest,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: most powerful men in the world, needs nobody like Jeffrey
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Epstein for services like family partnership and family entities, real
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: estate planning, estate planning, tax and philanthropic advice. You mean
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to tell me that Leon Black didn't have an accountant
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: on the team. He didn't have a personal accountant. Jeffrey
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Epstein was the guy. Huh, that's who you turned to,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: mister pedophile, abuser himself. He was at GOODWD numbers. Huh,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: What was the real reason you were spending so much
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: time with him, mister Black? What was the real reason
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: there was so much money moving around mister Black. Black
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: also said he met Epstein from time to time at
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: his New York City townhouse and also donated money to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: charitable organizations he did not identify that were affiliated with
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the late financier. Can we quit calling him Matt Reuters? Please? Pedophile?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: What do you think his estate's going to sue you?
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Con and Endyke are going to sue you. They got
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: their own problems, and furthermore, what would they sue you for?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: It's the truth. So let's stop calling them a financier
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: in these articles, Okay, and let's call him what he is.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Federal prosecutors and lawyers have sued Epstein more than six
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Epstein's more than six hundred and thirty million dollars star
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to abstain to obtain compensation, compensation for the young women
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and girls he allegedly abused and trafficked. And as to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the charities, those are the only only charities in existence
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that mister Black can donate to. How about you just
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: walk around on the streets incognito with stacks of dough
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and pass it out to people on the streets. Nah,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you can't do that, right because there's no way for
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you to profit that way. There's no way for you
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to launder money that way. There's no way for you
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to virtue signal to the rest of the world about
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: how great you are as you as you pass out
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: peanuts to the rest of us. It's an absolute joke.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, these people are an absolute joke with their
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: so called charitable giving. Give me a break, all right,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: all about your image, all about to make sure that
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: image is rebuilt. And let's not forget about the tax loopholes.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Let's not forget about the write offs. These people are seriously, seriously,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: mentally disturbed. In January, US Virgin Island's Attorney General, Denise George,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: sued the estate, seeking claims on behalf of victims he
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: raped and trafficked on a private Caribbean island. Black said
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: in the letter he intends to cooperate with the US
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Virgin Islands inquiry and any other investigation, so another one.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: He says, Oh yeah, I'm willing to talk to whoever.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I'm down with the investigation. All right, I'm gonna cooperate,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: just like the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: we see how that's turned out. We see that that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: moron hasn't given three seconds of his time to the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: FBI for them to question him. And it'll probably be
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the same here with Black. He'll probably try and maneuver
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: his way out of it. He'll probably make it a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: situation where you know, oh, I'll give a written statement
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and they'll probably be okay with it, because you know,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: he's so rich and all that's all that really matters
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: is how rich he is, how much money he has,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and how he can manipulate the system and maneuver behind
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the scenes using loopholes. How many times do we talk
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: about that huh. All the loopholes, all of the technicalities,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that is how these people are able to operate. There
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: is only one way to get rid of it. There
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: is only one way to fix it, and that is
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to vote out every single one of these incumbents who
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: has been party to it. And then the people that
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: we do send to Washington, DC, we have to hold
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: them accountable and make sure that they get rid of
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: these technicalities, that they get rid of these loopholes, and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: that we somehow some way crushed the two tier justice system.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: All right, So here's the letter that Leon Black wrote
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to the investors October twelfth, twenty twenty. Dear limited partner.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: In July twenty nineteen, I wrote to you. I wrote
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to you to address my relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, given
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the intense media coverage at the time. As I stated, then,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: there is nothing more important to Apollo and to me
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: personally than our relationship with our investors and limited partners
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: in the funds we manage. Earlier today, the New York
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Times published a story describing my relationship with mister Epstein.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I am writing again to make sure that you have
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: all of the relevant information. So it's that important right,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and that much of it hits home that he thought
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: that it was time for him to go ahead and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: jump in and write this letter because he was trying
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to cut this off at the past right. He doesn't
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: want this to blow up any more than it has.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: He doesn't want this to become more of a serious
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: situation than it already has and continue to grow and metastasize.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: He wants to make sure that he gets out in
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: front of this. He wants to make sure that he's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: controlling the narrative. First. I want to reemphasize certain important
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: facts from my prior letter. Apollo never did any business
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: with mister Epstein at any point in time. Neither mister
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Epstein nor any company controlled by him ever invested in
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: any funds managed by Apollo. So what he's trying to
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: do here is distant Apollo from this situation and take
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: full responsibility personally, but not put the responsibility at Apollo's feet.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Shrewd attempt but very transparent. For a period of six years,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: mister Epstein provided professional services to my family partnership and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: related family entities involving estate planning, tax and philanthrop advice.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: No other Apollo employees ever engaged mister Epstein or used
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: his professional services on a few occasions. I donated money
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to certain charitable organizations with which mister Epstein was affiliated,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and he made contributions to certain charitable organizations that are
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: meaningful to me. Lastly, and most importantly, I was completely
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: unaware and continue to be appalled by the reprehensible conduct
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that surfaced at the end of twenty eighteen and led
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: to federal criminal charges brought against mister Epstein, such bs
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you didn't know, huh, you had no idea, Yeah, no idea.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And what you guys were just trading charitable donations to
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: each other's charities. You have more money than God, the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: both of you. Why don't you just donate to those
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: charities yourself? Why do you got to drag Jeffrey Epstein
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: into it? Why does Jeffrey Epstein have to drag you
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: into it? What else is that play here? What are
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the underlying saying currents? My friends? None of the reporting
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: in the recent New York Times article is inconsistent in
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: any way with the information I shared with you over
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a year ago. As I previously stated, mister Epstein provided
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: professional services to entities affiliated with my family regarding real
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: estate planning, tax and philanthropic endeavors. I have never tried
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to conceal these facts. It is true that I paid
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: mister Epstein millions of dollars annually for his work, which
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: he provided from twenty twelve to twenty and seventeen. Yeah,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: that's nice. After he was a convicted sex offender, So
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you gave him millions of dollars so he could facilitate
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: his crimes against these other girls. If I was one
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of these girls who was assaulted after twenty twelve when
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you were financing this asshole, I'd sue you to you scumbag.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: It is also worth noting that all of mister Epstein's
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: advice was vetted by leading auditors, law firms, and other
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: professional advisors. So why bring him on board in the
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: first place. If you were just gonna vet his shit
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and pay him millions of dollars, why bring him on
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: board in the first place? What were you really doing,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: mister Black. Importantly, there has never been allegations by anyone,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: including The New York Times, that I engaged in any
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: wrongdoing or inappropriate conduct. The New York Times story reports
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: instances in which I spent time with mister Epstein. For example,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I traveled with mister Epstein to Boston to meet with
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: several prominent Harvard professors as part of my family's philanthropic efforts.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Two of my children traveled with me and joined the meetings. Again,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the children, every single one of these guys that gets
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: caught with their hands in the cookie jar while my
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: kids were with me, or I was with the esteemed
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: members of the Harvard Professor League. Yeah right, members, there
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: are all a bunch of pervert devians too. How about that,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: all of the ones that were hanging out with Jeffrey
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Epstein anyway. I mean, the absolute and utter denials of
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: these people of reality is just mind numbing to me.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: On a separate occasion, my family and I made a
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: short visit to mister Epstein's private island and had a
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: picnic lunch with him while on a family holiday nearby.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: As the story notes, both instances were isolated and time
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to time. I also met mister Epstein at his townhouse
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: in New York City because that is where he conducted business.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Mister Epstein did not have a separate professional office. Oh,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: he had a whole building full of them. Though, you
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: guys couldn't have had lunch at your office. You guys
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: couldn't have had lunch at a restaurant. You had to
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: go to the townhouse. Huh did you get a massage? Ever?
• 19:59

  Speaker 1: we do, from applying for a new loan for a
