Leon Black And The 62 Million Dollar Escape Plan In The USVI
About this episode
The deal, however, did not put all questions to rest. Around the same time, the Senate Finance Committee, led by Senator Ron Wyden, released documents showing Black paid Epstein far more than originally known—over $150 million between 2012 and 2017—sparking deeper concerns that such vast sums may have indirectly financed Epstein’s operations. The revelations intensified scrutiny not only of Black’s judgment but also of whether banks and institutions involved properly flagged or investigated the transactions. While the $62 million settlement resolved matters with the Virgin Islands, it left lingering doubts about the true nature of Black’s relationship with Epstein and whether full accountability was ever reached.

What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Leon Black paid out over $62 million to the US Virgin Islands after he was subpoenaed, and considering that we're going through a lot of those subpoenas right now from the US Virgin Islands, I thought it would be the perfect time to revisit the fact that for some unknown reason, Leon Black came out of the pocket to the tune of $62 million.
Now what the hell was the up to down in the US VI? That's going to cost him $62 million. My guess is none of it's good, but the real sad part about all of this is this is the story that we're always told, right? Oh well so-and-so did this or that or the other thing. It's very vague about what they might have done, and then they buy their way out of it with the settlement. Now imagine if it was you who was in trouble for something like this, and I know the vast majority of you would never ever be caught up in something like this, but do you think that you'd be able to get out of it if you don't have any money? It's all about the money, right? And if you can pay $62 million to the government of the Virgin Islands, well chances are you're going to steer clear of any kind of trouble, you're going to steer clear of any kind of issues, and unfortunately you're going to remain under the radar when it comes to the overall narrative of what Jeffrey Epstein was up to. And that's the whole entire goal here to make it just speculation, to make it just allegation,
and the one remedy to all of that is depositions. They all know that at deposition time, the bullshits over. So that's why they do everything in their power to avoid getting to that point, and that's certainly why Leon Black paid out $62 million, and that's why I said the USVI with their subpoenas was extorting people. That's all it was was extortion. It has nothing to do with law and order. It has nothing to do with the fact that they're trying to bring people to justice. They were trying to find a way that they could justify going after all of this money, and they came up with this scheme, this plot that said that the USVI overall was a victim of Jeffrey Epstein. Now for those of you who've been following the story, you know that that's absurd as it comes. If anything, the USVI was victimizing the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. So the whole entire narrative that they pitched was straight up trash from the jump, and the fact that they were able to extract all this money from hard-nosed people like Leon Black
that will fight things tooth and nail inside of a court tells you everything you need to know. Leon Black just packed up his tent and went home, didn't even bother trying to fight it. So you can take from that whatever you want, but from where I'm sitting, certainly not looking good for Mr. Leon Black. Today's article is from the Daily Mail and the headline, Leon Black paid US Virgin Islands $62 million settlement after being issued this subpoena, asking for all his communications with Jeffrey Epstein, Darren Indyke, and Richard Khan. And the actual subpoena itself will get to that tomorrow. We'll get it added to the catalog. This article was authored by Jen Smith. Billionaire Epstein associate Leon Black paid the US Virgin Islands $62 million in 2021 after being asked for all of his communications with the late pedophile and his right-hand men, along with photos of his trips to Epstein's island, DailyMail.com can reveal.
So this dude was being pressed for all this information, and instead of giving it all up, well, I'll just buy my way out of it. Must be nice. Must be nice to just buy your way out of whatever you want, whenever you want to do it. Because that's what this is. Let's just call it what it is. He effectively paid the USVI off so they wouldn't go after him. Now he did it in a legal manner. I'm not saying that anything here was illegal. It's not. But it's a problem with the system itself. And there should be no NDAs, and certainly no non-prosecution agreements with people like Epstein. And if there is, they should go back and proactively look to get them off the books. Does anyone in their right mind really think that Jeffrey Epstein was honest during the Profer session? Does anyone really believe that? So the second you're not honest during the Profer session, everything gets thrown out. I mean, I know that AOC doesn't believe that Rico is a thing, but I'm here to tell you it is. The Caribbean investigators also wanted to know about
Black zone trips to Little St. James, Epstein's private island, where the late financier, pedophile, is said to have abuse, countless girls, and allegedly handed them off to his friends too. Yeah, well, I don't know if there's any allegedly there. I think we could say allegedly about who was involved, but as far as what happened, the actual pattern of abuse, no allegedly there, we all know the deal, we all know what happened, and we all know how pervasive it was. Black ended up settling, agreeing in January, to pay $62.5 million to make it go away. The settlement was first reported by New York Times this week. Black's representatives have insisted that it does not indicate complicity in Epstein's crimes, or even knowledge of it, now just to be clear this article came out back in January. Once the Titan of the finance industry, Black stepped down in shame from his firm Apollo in 2021 after his deep ties to Epstein were revealed. He paid Epstein $158 million over the course of five
years between 2012 and 2017 after Epstein had been convicted of soliciting prostitution from children and Palm Beach. Imagine? This dude knew that Jeffrey Epstein was out here dittling kids because that's what he went to jail for, and still was willing to give him $158 million. After Epstein was already a convicted sex offender. I don't want to hear shit from Leon Black. Oh, I had no idea what was going on. Yes, you did. You had every idea in the world, and in fact, I'll take it a step further. You knew a lot more. Now, can I prove that? Unfortunately, I can't. But I think that the $62.5 million payment is a pretty good tell. Black insists the payments were for a state planning and tax advice, and that he was given poor advice by Epstein, whose professional credentials barely touched his own. And that's so crazy to me, and I've said this from jump street. Anyone who knows about Apollo global knows that they're one of the biggest and top investment firms hedges around. And these guys are not the kind of group
that's out here looking for the advice of anybody else, Jeffrey Epstein or otherwise. So all of a sudden Leon Black needs to go to the guru Jeffrey Epstein to the tune of $158 million? Yeah, I don't buy it, okay? Not for one single second. There is no amount of advice on this planet. That's worth $158 million. You know what? It sucks to be bored.

On Mike and Hollywood movies, they're not easy to spot.
Where is she, buddy? Where is she? The devil made me turn her to ashes. They seamlessly blend into our everyday lives, assuming rules, as family neighbors, helpful colleagues, or even the person lying beside you each night. I wanted to be out of jail.

The Senate Finance Committee is now investigating whether black were the reported $11 billion, owes taxes on those payments. Oh, you and I would owe taxes on them. Go ahead and go and sell something on eBay. You owe tax on that. But Leon Black paying out $300 million, paying out $600 million, paying out $60 million, that no big deal. Black was a pillar of the New York High Society as the chairman of the Museum of Modern Art and husband, the theater producer Deborah Black, the pair remain married and have four children, even though he was cheating on her, even though he had a gumaad on the side.
Even though that same gumaad Guzelgani Eva has made some horrible claims about him. Even though his wife was sick at the time he was cheating on her, Good old Leon Black, the captain of industry, Mr. Ramoma, Mr. New York City High Life himself. Black has also been sued in Manhattan Federal Court by a Jane Doe who claims that he raped her in 2002 when she was 16 at Epstein's house. Now in her 30s, she is too old to file a claim against him with the New York Police Department, even in light of New York State's stretched historic child abuse statute limitations. The woman is autistic and has mosaic Down syndrome, a condition that is only manifested internally and has no physical symptoms. She describes in graphic detail how Black allegedly raped her on a massage table at Epstein's mansion after sodomizing her with sex toys and making her bleed. She claims he threw her to the ground after the assault, calling her a whore.
The woman's attorney, Jean Christensen, described in the filing how she had been allegedly trafficked at Epstein and Galaine Maxwell now in prison for her part in the sex trafficking operation by a mystery couple named only as Elizabeth and Charlie. She says the girl had been given to them by her unsuspecting parents then was subjected to horrific sexual and physical abuse. And we know that several of these lawsuits against Leon Black have been thrown out, whether on merit or because Leon Black is just too powerful. Either way, going after a man like Leon Black, you better come prepared. Because not only is he a downright scoundrel, he's going to bring in the big guns and he has enough money to litigate you from here to San Jeanard. The lawsuit describes shocking and twisted tactics allegedly used by Galaine to win the child's trust. The girl's attorneys claim Galaine called her beautiful darling and compared her to Adal, lauding her with praise whenever she pleased Epstein sexually and even
clapping after the first time she made him ejaculate. Maxwell has long denied the many allegations against her from a number of women. She remains in prison serving a 20-year prison sentence for her crimes, but she is the only person in Epstein's orbit to have been sent down for what is described as a worldwide pedophile ring. And not to digress too far, but come on. All of these people involved, all of these people named in court documents, how is it that only Maxwell's in prison? Epstein killed himself in jail allegedly in 2019 while awaiting trial. Black's attorneys have strenuously denied the most recent lawsuit filed by Jane Doe. They say he is never before even met the girl who claims he raped her. And you know, the question still remains that I asked in the beginning of the episode. What the hell is this guy given Jeffrey Epstein $158 million for? And furthermore, how is it that the USVI is just going to let him get off with a payout?
Unless, of course, the USVI has been bullshitting you all for all this time when they say they care about justice. Because the optics and their actions tell us that it's not about justice, and in fact, just like the estate, it's all about money. And just like with the financial institutions and with Leon Black, when it comes to the USVI, it's profits over people. All right, folks, that's going to do it for this one.
