FINAL ANSWER? Why Top Billionaire PAID MILLIONS To Epstein
Leon Black, founder of Apollo Global Management, is facing scrutiny over his financial dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, including payments totaling $158 million over several years. Author William Cohan discusses Black's rise in finance, his controversial relationship with Epstein, and his current legal battle with the U.S. House of Representatives over a subpoena related to the Epstein files. Black reportedly sought Epstein's advice on a $2 billion tax liability related to trusts for his children, a solution allegedly involving the forfeiture of hundreds of millions in dividends.
The case raises significant questions about financial ethics, judgment, and the influence of figures like Epstein within elite circles. It also highlights potential tax loopholes and the scrutiny faced by billionaires.
The episode also covers Krystal and Saagar's discussion of the book 'Money to Burn' by William Cohan, focusing on Leon Black, Apollo Global Management, and the broader landscape of Wall Street.
