A Look Back: Leon Black And The New Narrative

The Epstein Chronicles

Leon Black is a prominent American billionaire investor and the co-founder of Apollo Global Management, one of the world's largest alternative investment firms. He was born on July 31, 1951, and has been a significant figure in the finance industry for decades.
Regarding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, it was alleged that Black had a professional relationship with Epstein, who was a convicted sex offender. Black faced scrutiny over his business and personal dealings with Epstein. In 2019, it was reported that Black had business dealings with Epstein, including retaining his services for financial and estate planning advice. Black confirmed that he had paid Epstein $158 million for services that included tax advice, estate planning, and charitable giving.
These ties became the subject of intense media and public scrutiny, particularly in the wake of Epstein's arrest on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors and his subsequent death in prison. Black has denied any involvement in Epstein's criminal activities and stated that he deeply regretted having any involvement with him.
However, the allegations and controversies surrounding Black's relationship with Epstein have had repercussions, including calls for his resignation from various positions and increased attention on the issue of wealthy individuals associating with Epstein despite his criminal history.
In this episode, we hear from Leon Black for the first time since his connections to Epstein were brought to light.
