US EditionNewly revealed emails show abuse Epstein aimed at huge financial backer
Jeffrey Epstein pressured Leon Black for tens of millions despite legal troubles, with Black paying over $150 million before being forced out of Apollo Global Management.
- The New York Times obtained emails showing Jeffrey Epstein hectored Leon Black, billionaire and chairman of the board of Apollo Global Management, demanding tens of millions beyond the $150 million already paid.
- After Epstein's first Florida indictment, Black began pulling back from paying Epstein $150 million, with 2015 and 2016 emails showing Epstein's pressure campaign to Black's assistant and advisers.
- In one email, Epstein boasted of his protective services to Black: `If you reflect on your financial life, you have been kept safe, had remarkable results and no disasters,` court documents say Black wired hundreds of thousands to at least three women associated with Jeffrey Epstein and sought Epstein's advice about paying Black's former girlfriend millions to keep matters quiet.
- The pressure campaign appeared to work, and Leon Black continued to provide tens of millions in fees and loans to Jeffrey Epstein.
- The revelations coincided with legal allegations and career consequences as a woman who alleged rape at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse later dropped her lawsuit, and Leon Black was pushed out of the private equity firm he co-founded.
