Fuld transskription af Mega Edition: The Prince Andrew Movie "Scoop" And The Palace's Reaction To It (1/25/26)

discussing or talking about their relationship with one another. 35 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.759 It wasn't that they were spooked by Epstein because he 36 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.280 was a sick fuck. They were spooked because they didn't 37 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.199 want to get caught up in it. It's not that 38 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.120 they cared about the women or the fact that Epstein 39 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.680 was an animal. They just didn't want that dung covering 40 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:41.960 them as well. Ruthless nobody makes money like Apollos Ruthless 41 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.439 founder Leon Black was the title of a Bloomberg interview 42 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.800 with the Dollar Billionaire earlier this year. He was called 43 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.159 the most feared man in private equity. There's no doubt 44 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.439 that Leon Black was a heavy hitter for a very 45 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.800 long time and a dude that pretty much could get 46 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:03.039 away with and do whatever he wanted. There was nobody 47 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.199 that was really standing up to Apollo Global. We're talking 48 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.879 about seriously, seriously heavy hitters here, and Leon Black was 49 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.879 the man. But all good things come to an end, 50 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.800 don't they. And when you live your life shitting on people, 51 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.280 your whole entire life, eventually that catches up to you. 52 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.360 And now that Leon Black is being exposed as somebody 53 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.599 who was very, very intimately involved with Jeffrey Epstein, well 54 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.759 it's like rats jumping off the ship, right. Nobody wants 55 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.360 to be associated with him anymore, not even his own 56 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.240 former company. Black is one of the most powerful figures 57 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.919 on Wall Street, New York's financial center. His fortune is 58 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.039 estimated by Forbes to be around eight billion dollars, making 59 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.159 him the world's two hundred and twenty fourth richest person. 60 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.879 Now imagine there's actually people out there richer than Leon 61 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.479 Black and tells you everything you need to know about 62 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.800 the so called elite. Old boy's worth around eight billion dollars, 63 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.319 and that brings him in at about the two hundred 64 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.840 and twenty fourth richest person. And that was during the 65 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.199 time this article was originally published in twenty twenty, so 66 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.840 I'm sure things have changed by now, but that's an 67 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:16.879 obscene amount of money, eight billion dollars. He is also 68 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.920 known for his ties to a sex offender. Earlier in October, 69 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.360 The New York Times described Black as the billionaire who 70 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.000 stood by Jeffrey Epstein, with new details about how Black 71 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.959 continued to do business with Epstein after Epstein's two thousand 72 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.600 and eight conviction for solicitation of a minor and not 73 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.360 only just do business, but to be intimately involved, donating, 74 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.399 hanging out, calling them what a bunch of times, emailing 75 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.800 them over fifteen hundred times or whatever. And that's just 76 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.199 what we know about. That's just the relationship that's been 77 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.759 aired out. So if that's what's been aired out, how 78 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:56.959 much was really going on behind the scenes. The reporting 79 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.000 has led to strong reactions. The board of Black's private 80 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.800 equity firm, Apollo Global Management will examine his relationship with 81 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.639 Epstein at his request. The stock of Apollo has fallen 82 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.800 and one Apollo investor has halted new commitments over Black's 83 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.759 ties to Epstein. Now remember he's gone. Now Leon Black 84 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.519 is no longer part of the company, at least that 85 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.399 we know about what's going on behind the scenes in 86 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.759 that Apollo Global monolith. Who the hell knows, really, But 87 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.480 as far as the public's concerned, Leon Black is no 88 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:37.040 longer the man over there. Several prominent figures broke ties 89 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.439 with Epstein when it became known that he was under 90 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:45.240 investigation in two thousand and six. Nevertheless, the financier pedophile 91 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.279 managed to get back among the elite after imprisonment. He 92 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:54.360 entertained business titans, scientists, and politicians like Microsoft founder Bill 93 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:59.000 Gates and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barack until he 94 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.720 was arrested by authority. He's in twenty nineteen accused of 95 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:07.839 human trafficking and abuse. So again, look just another slap home. 96 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.319 All of these people that want to tell you they 97 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.000 had nothing to do with it, that they had no 98 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:16.199 idea who Jeffrey Epstein was, that they weren't breaking bread 99 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.839 with him, that they weren't at his house, eating and 100

00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.639 enjoying his you know, hospitality. Well, they're lying because they were. 101 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.800 And it's even worse for people who were doing it 102 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:34.560 after the first conviction. IPI president Rod Larson and Black 103 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.079 have one thing in common. According to dn's sources, they 104 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.279 were both frequent guests at Epstein's New York mansion in 105 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.639 the years after the conviction, a description neither Black spokesperson 106 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.560 nor Rod Larson have responded to. And this is really 107 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.839 the rub of it, right, all of these folks who 108 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.439 were still hanging out with them after that first conviction. 109 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:56.800 I mean, how can you even try and defend that? 110 00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.720 How can you even begin to attempt to defend that 111 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:06.600 nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Internal documents show that 112 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.120 Black supported IPI with nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars, 113 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:15.519 initially two hundred thousand dollars received in January of twenty 114 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.079 and fifteen, and then seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars 115 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:23.399 in May twenty and fifteen. This was over a tenth 116 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.000 of the total that was donated to the think tank 117 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.959 that year. So one man over a tenth of the 118 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.560 total donated to the think tank that year, the same 119 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.240 guy that's pumping at Epstein one hundred and fifty eight 120 00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.399 million dollars. Remember, so it must be nice to have 121 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.680 all his money to spread around to help your boy Epstein. 122 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.439 And for what what was Leon Black getting on the 123 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.120 flip side of all of that. That's the real question. 124 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.519 He would like the donation to remain anonymous, it says 125 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:57.199 in an email sent between IPI employees after they had 126 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.079 been in contact with Black's office about the financial support. 127 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.360 The money went, among other things, to a conference on 128 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:08.399 pandemics and the forum in Salzburg. Well isn't that funny? 129 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:08.800 Huh? 130 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.199 A bit ironic? A conference and a forum on pandemics 131 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:16.639 and then we get slapped with this pandemic. Interesting. IPI 132 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.199 thanks major contributors in its annual reports. But it is 133 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.879 also an option to give money anonymously. This is a 134 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:27.319 common practice within philanthropy. Well, there's no doubt a lot 135 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.759 of people do give money anonymously, But when you're doing 136 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.519 something like this for such a good cause, I don't 137 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.879 really see the need to do that. Then again, I'm 138 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.399 not the one who's donating the money, so I can't 139 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:46.600 really insert myself into somebody's position. In twenty sixteen, the 140 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:51.200 head of the philanthropy at the Black company, Elysium Management LLC, 141 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.279 contacted IPI and requested a tax receipt for his donation. 142 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.679 Elysium Management LLC is one of the companies the US 143 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:03.480 government in the Virgin Islands is investigating because of Black's 144 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.799 relationship with Epstein. And again, look, we have this investigation 145 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.960 that's allegedly going on in the Virgin Islands. But what 146 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.080 has come of it? What have we seen from it? 147 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.000 What have we heard from it? Has there been any movement? 148 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:17.559 Now we've heard a lot of a good game being 149 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:22.200 talked by Denise George down there, but what really has happened? 150 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.919 Has she brought anybody in? Has there been depositions? Can 151 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:30.440 we get an update please? There are several ties between 152 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:34.240 Black's philanthropy and Epstein, who for a period held positions 153 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.480 associated with Black's family Foundation. A spokesman for Black has 154 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.799 said that Epstein was one of his advisors between twenty 155 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.120 twelve and twenty and seventeen. One of the areas he 156 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:49.759 helped with was philanthropy. Black paid at least fifty million 157 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.960 dollars to Epstein for his services, According to the New 158 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.120 York Times, and we know it was much more than that. 159 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.480 Now we know that it was over one hundred and 160 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.080 fifty eight million dollars, and that shares a lot of 161 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:06.120 money to pay somebody for advice. The prestigious University MIT 162 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:10.360 is one of several organizations that have investigated their own 163 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.919 ties to Epstein. The report from earlier this year states 164 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.600 at Epstein at one point said that he got Black 165 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:21.480 to donate five million dollars to MIT anonymously. So Black 166

00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.039 was just donating a bunch of money around the whole world. 167 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.799 I guess for Jeffrey Epstein, because they're such good friends, 168 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.039 and Black is just such a generous man that he 169 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.120 wanted to spread a little bit of cheese across everybody's cracker. 170 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.120 I mean, since he's donating so much money, I would 171 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.519 think that there's a few causes that could use his help. 172 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:39.759 Right. 173 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.759 Funny how that money only goes to causes that were 174 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.960 important to Epstein or causes that could have moved the 175 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.240 needle for them as far as being power brokers a 176 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:56.200 little bit more spokesperson, this is why Black donated. DN 177 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.720 has asked a number of questions a Black spokesperson and IPI, 178 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:04.240 including whether, including whether Epstein was in any way involved 179 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:08.159 in Black's financial support for the think tank. IPI have 180 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.639 not answered a statement from Black spokesperson did not address 181 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.399 the issue. Well, that's nothing new. They never addressed the issue. 182 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.840 It's always you know, oh, well there's an investigation or 183 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.039 we can't talk about that currently. 184 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.720 Blah blah, blah blah. 185 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.159 In a letter to Apollo investors sent last year, Black 186 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.559 wrote that on a few occasions, I donated money to 187 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:35.559 certain charitable organizations which mister Epstein was affiliated. The spokesperson 188 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.240 has not answered if IPI was one of those organizations. 189 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.240 At this point, You notice how he tries to downplay 190 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.919 it too, right, Oh, I donated to a few foundations 191 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.000 that Epstein's affiliated with. He doesn't say that he did 192 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:51.639 it at Epstein's behest. He doesn't say that he was 193 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:55.039 a partner of Epstein's, just that it was just a coincidence. 194 00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.519 Consistent with his long standing support of organizations focused on 195 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.840 foreign affairs and world peace. Mister Black donated to the 196 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:08.000 International Peace Institute because he was impressed with the organization's 197 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:12.840 mission and charitable work. The donation was made with full transparency, 198 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:17.399 similar to his generous support for many other philanthropic organizations. 199 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:21.320 The statement from black spokesperson provided to d N said 200 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.879 mister Black continues to be appalled by the conduct that 201 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.159 led to the criminal charges against mister Epstein, and he 202 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:32.039 deeply regrets having any involvement with him. A spokesperson told 203 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.000 The New York Times earlier this month. Oh, I'm sure 204 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.799 you know. The regret is just eating away at him, 205 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.679 just eating away at him. That's why mister Black has 206 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.879 found it within his heart to come out and open 207 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.759 up a retreat for people who have been abused. Eight 208 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.000 billion dollars sure does go a long way to fix 209 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:50.799 and shit, doesn't it? 210 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:51.200 Folks? 211 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.360 How much of that eight million dollars has mister Black 212 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:57.840 spent to try and fix situations such as these? Oh, 213 00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:05.279 that's right. Nothing close connections IPI, like Black has close 214 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.159 ties to Epstein. Deann reported earlier in October that the 215 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:12.679 President Terry Rod Larson was both in debt to Epstein 216 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.399 at one point and later authorized the payment to him 217 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.840 through the think tank. IPI denies that Epstein received any payment. 218 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.840 You know, it's such a joke. There's no accountability here. 219 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:25.679 There's no one doing the real work, and when you 220 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:29.799 look at the overall situation that we're facing and all 221 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.240 of the power players that are on the stage, it's 222 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:34.600 going to take some people with some real courage in 223 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:39.799 positions of power to finally say enough is enough. And unfortunately, 224 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.799 in the real world, we don't have too many heroes. 225 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.720 Epstein also donated money to IPI in secret. In the 226 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:55.519 annual report from twenty eleven, IPI praises an anonymous donor 227 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.960 who helped start a fund with a generous, generous contribution. 228 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:03.039 But the following year and Epstein Foundation took credit. And 229 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.440 that's the thing. With all of this secrecy and privacy 230 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.200 and LLCs and all of the rest of it, at 231 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.080 what point do you take a look at what's going 232 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:14.639 on and realize that we've been duped. And I don't 233 00:14:14.679 -->

00:14:18.159 just mean people in America, I'm talking about all of us. 234 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.399 DN reported last year that IPI received at least three 235 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.679 hundred and seventy five thousand dollars from the Epstein Foundation 236 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:31.039 Gratitude America. This was the sum that was listed in 237 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.679 the foundation's tax documents for twenty seventeen. Now it turns 238 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.080 out that Epstein's donation was larger than three hundred and 239 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.000 seventy five thousand dollars. Look all of these foundations, I 240 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.559 have to look at them sideways at this point. How 241 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:47.519 many of these people were putting this money in their 242 00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:51.559 pocket instead of putting it towards whatever their cause is. Now, 243 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.559 I'm not saying they all were doing it, for sure, 244 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:57.000 but it doesn't garner more of an investigation. The fact 245 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.200 that these dudes were running around with Epstein in the 246 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.759 first place, the fact that they were taking is money. 247 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:08.799 How is it not a bigger issue? IPI sent out 248 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:11.639 a release last year after DN had reported the support 249 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.720 from Gratitude America. The statement said that a similar sum 250 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.879 as the one received from the foundation would be donated 251 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.879 to programs that support victims of human trafficking and abuse. 252 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:25.799 All of these groups that say that that's fine and well, 253 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.360 but where's your money really going? Are you really donating 254 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.919 it to people who need it? Or are you'd giving 255 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.159 it to your buddy's charity and your buddy's going to 256 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.120 piece off eighty percent of that money and pay it out. 257 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.799 To fees and salaries, right. 258 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:43.039 Because we all know there's a hustle going on with 259 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.399 these charitable groups as well. Look, everybody has a hustle, 260 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.320 and everybody has a lick, and these charitable groups certainly 261 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:57.679 are no different. In IPI's recent financial statements for twenty nineteen, 262 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:00.480 it appears that total sum is five hundred in twenty 263 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.039 five thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand, more than what 264 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.879 was previously reported. So where did that one hundred and 265 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.120 fifty thousand racks go? Was that shit split up between 266 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:13.320 you and the homies? Or what I mean? Am I 267 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:16.039 completely off base to ask that question, considering what we 268 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.919 know about these people and considering how long they've been 269 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:27.799 drifting Another foundation, IPI also received money from another Epstein foundation. 270 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:32.759 In April twenty fourteen, the un affiliated think tank received 271 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:36.360 a check for fourteen thousand, one hundred and fifty eight dollars. 272 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:41.600 The money came from Enhanced Education and Epstein Foundation. After 273 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.919 the check arrived, an accountant contacted the assistant to IPI's president, 274 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:49.320 Rob Larson. The check is for a reimbursement of Larry 275 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:53.000 Summers flight, she wrote. And now remember Larry Summers is 276 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:57.120 the big time you know economics guy, always running around 277 00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:59.639 on TV talking about, you know, the economy. This that 278 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.240 the other thing worked for Obama worked with Clinton and 279 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.079 worked with Biden for quite some time as well. Well, 280 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.480 this is another guy who has ties to all of 281 00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:13.039 these clowns, and another man who was running around with Epstein. Now, again, 282 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.640 like I always say, I don't have any proof that 283 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.799 the dude was engaging in any abuse, but he certainly 284 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:21.960 was friendly with Epstein, certainly running around and breaking bread 285 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:28.880 with Epstein. Summers has long been a powerful figure in 286 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:33.359 American politics, including as Treasury Secretary. He has several links 287 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:36.119 to Epstein and is one of many profiled names in 288 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:40.640 the logs of Epstein's jet. DN reported earlier in October 289 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.039 that it was Epstein's office that sent IPI instructions for 290 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.480 payment of one hundred thousand dollars to Summers for a 291 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:52.039 peace project in Mongolia. A peace project in Mongolia for 292 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.000 one hundred thousand racks, Yo, where does your boys sign up? 293 00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.240 Because that sounds like a good gig to me. One 294 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.359 hundred thousand for what? What are you gonna go give 295 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:07.359 a quick talk to some peace tank over in Mongolia Kazakhstan? 296 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.440 Why did Epstein pay for the flight and what was 297 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.319 the purpose of it? Neither IPI, Larry Summer's office, nor 298 00:18:14.359 -->

00:18:19.000 attorneys for Epstein's estate have responded, you don't call me directly, 299 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.799 Summers said when DN contacted him in September. You see, 300 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.279 this is how they feel. They feel like they're above reproach. 301 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.759 All these people, all of these people that think they're 302 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.359 smarter than you, all these people that are running around 303 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.000 on TV telling you to hate your neighbor. These are 304 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:35.839 the kind of people that they are. This is their 305 00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:38.960 true character when you pull back the curtain. So I'd 306 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.200 be very very cautious about which one of these dUtu 307 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.319 roots you're listening to on TV and then taking that 308 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.960 information seriously and then running with it, because all of 309 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:53.680 these people have motivations, right, Remember that there's always ulterior 310 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:57.519 motives for these people. And when we're talking about knuckleheads 311 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:02.599 like Summers, definitely these guys. That's a power player, there 312 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.920 is no doubt about it. But when a journalist calls 313 00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:09.720 you and you're a public figure, you probably shouldn't be saying, oh, 314 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:13.480 you don't call me directly? What are you the aristocracy? 315 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:17.319 What are you one of the tutors? Give me a break, dude, 316 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:20.599 answer the email. Okay, you put your pants on in 317 00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:25.440 the morning, just like that reporter. But an email sent 318 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:28.799 from Epstein to Rod Larsen earlier the same month, April sixth, 319 00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:33.599 twenty fourteen, may provide some of the explanation. The email 320 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.720 concerned summers with kaz In the subject field, Epstein outlined 321 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.200 how summers could help with challenges in Kazakhstan, pointing to 322 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.880 five issues. Among them was how the country could remain 323 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.920 attractive to foreign investors in the face of political instability 324 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.039 in the region. Now remember, keep this in mind, Prince 325 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.640 Andrew Goga Ashkenazi all of his other buddies from the 326 00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.920 Kazakhstan region. Now you have Epstein over here conducting business 327 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.359 in Kazakhstan. Well you don't think you think all of 328 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.279 that's just a coincidence as well? Absolutely not so. The 329 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.160 question is what was Andrew involved in here? As far 330 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:16.160 as being a powerbroker. Succeeding would require an approach that 331 00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:20.440 melds a broad and high level political perspective with technical 332 00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:26.599 economic expertise, Epstein wrote. According to IPI's website, Rod Larson 333 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.880 was in the country meeting several senior officials one month 334 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.279 before Epstein sent the email. The purpose was to further 335 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:40.000 develop the department's close relations with Kazakhstan. Terry Rod Larson, IPI, 336 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:44.640 Summer's office, and Epstein's estate lawyers have not answered questions 337 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.759 for this story, so like usual, they just denied it 338 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.279 or refused to answer questions. But that doesn't mean the 339 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:55.640 questions are going away. As you can probably imagine considering 340 00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:58.440 we're what almost three years away from this article and 341 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:01.839 we're still talking about it. You see, these questions aren't 342 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:04.279 just gonna go away. And all of these people that 343 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.400 are trying to avoid these questions, well they're not gonna 344 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:09.759 be able to do that because there's way too many 345 00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.079 people now who are hip to what went on, and 346 00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:15.440 there's way too many people who want answers. So when 347 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:20.200 you have people like you know, Larry Summers and Larsen 348 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:23.079 and the un and all these other groups that were 349 00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:26.319 engaging in these shadowy business deals with Epstein, and then 350 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.200 they refuse to answer any questions about it, well what 351 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:32.319 do you think the populace is going to think? And 352 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.599 if you think people are just gonna shrug their shoulders 353 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:37.200 and move on, well, my friend, you have not been 354 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:38.359 paying attention. 355 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:41.880 For the past three years. All right, folks, that's. 356 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:43.440 Gonna do it for this one. If you'd like to 357 00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:46.680 contact me. You can do that at Bobby Kopucci at 358 00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:52.319 ProtonMail dot com. That's bo bbu Y c apu Cci 359 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.519 at ProtonMail dot com.

And 362 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:11.559 welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. So Leon Black has 363 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.720 paid a sixty two and a half million

dollars settlement 364 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.400 to the United States Virgin Islands for his alleged role 365 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.559 in Jeffrey Epstein's bullshit. And isn't it amazing how all 366 00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:25.079 of these people who had no idea what was going on, 367 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:28.079 who had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein and his 368 00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:31.440 criminal enterprise, how they're all paying out so much money. 369 00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:35.240 That's very interesting, right, because if you were innocent, you 370 00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:37.319 would fight that. You wouldn't say, all right, you know what, 371 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:40.039 here's sixty two and a half million, let's call it 372 00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:43.039 a day. I know that if I was innocent, I 373 00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:46.000 certainly wouldn't be forking over that though. But all of 374 00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:49.640 these people who were involved with this combag have no 375 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:53.000 problem forking out this money. And all of that is 376 00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.440 to avoid going to discovery in any of these trials 377 00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.000 because they know at Discovery they're going to get absolute 378 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:04.200 walloped with evidence about their role and about their relationship 379 00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:08.160 with Jeffrey Epstein and Leon Black's no different. But the 380 00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.640 saddest part is the fact that the US Virgin Islands 381 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.119 is gonna get this money and not the Epstein survivors. 382 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.680 So if we're doing our math correctly, the US Virgin 383 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.599 Islands has now profited to the tune of one hundred 384 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.359 and sixty seven and a half million dollars directly off 385 00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:29.880 the back of the survivors and the abuse that they suffered. 386 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:34.960 In the words of Sebastian Manuscalco, aren't you embarrassed? Today's 387 00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.279 article is from the Saint Thomas Source and the headline 388 00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:43.000 report billionaire Leon Black paid the Virgin Islands sixty two 389 00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:46.359 and a half million over Epstein ties. But I thought 390 00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:49.359 they weren't really friends. I thought they were just associates. 391 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:56.279 This article was authored by Seeing Cobb. Billionaire investor Leon 392 00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:59.759 Black agreed in January to pay the US Virgin Islands 393 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.799 sixty two and a half million dollars to be released 394 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.200 from any claims related to the territory's investigation into the 395 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:12.240 sex trafficking of late disgraced financier pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, The 396 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:16.680 New York Times has reported, And now it all makes sense, right, 397 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.720 It makes sense why the US Virgin Islands set out 398 00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:22.000 all of these subpoenas to all of these rich people. 399 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:25.160 They were just fishing. Let's see who we can get 400 00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:27.839 to come to the table and give us a settlement. 401 00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:30.440 I know that's a cynical way to look at it. 402 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.599 But did they send anybody to prison? Did anyone even 403 00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:36.359 get hit with criminal charges? Well we all know the 404 00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:40.480 answers to that. Black seventy one, the former chief executive 405 00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:44.680 of private equity firm Apollo Global Management, had a decade 406 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.240 long relationship with Epstein, whom he paid some one hundred 407 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:51.519 and fifty eight million dollars over the years for tax 408 00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:55.200 and estate planning services, according to the Times. And does 409 00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:58.559 anyone believe that has anyone ever paid one hundred and 410 00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:00.839 sixty million dollars in the histor of the world for 411 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:04.319 somebody else's advice? I highly doubt it, not somebody like 412 00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.000 Leon Black. So what was the one hundred and sixty 413 00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:10.039 million really for? That's the real question. And my guess 414 00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:13.440 is Epstein was hiding money for him. You know, Epstein rolls. 415 00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:16.720 He was out there laundering money, had a whole ass 416 00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:20.400 operation set up offshore to do just that. And that's 417 00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:23.319 what all of these scumbags were doing. And that's another 418 00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.000 reason why you didn't see a Rico case here, because 419 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:28.640 it would have been all encompassing. And all of these 420 00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:32.559 jackovs that were hanging out with Epstein giving him his money, 421 00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:35.400 getting money from him, well, they'd all be caught up 422 00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:38.599 in this Rico scam. And all of your favorite politicians, 423 00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:41.440 well they couldn't have that because who would fund their 424 00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:46.279 next run for office. He severed that relationship amit a 425 00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:50.359 dispute in twenty eighteen, according to the newspaper, and was 426 00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:55.880 cooperating with the VI government's investigation into Epstein. In twenty 427 00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:59.160 twenty one, he stepped down as CEO and chairman of 428 00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:03.559 Apollo after an internal investigation revealed his payments to Epstein. 429 00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:06.960

He also did not re seek election to the board 430 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:09.920 of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City 431 00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:13.200 when his term as chairman ended that year, in the 432 00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:17.920 wake of protests over his financial ties to Epstein. According 433 00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:20.519 to reports at the time, Black saved at least one 434 00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:25.039 point three billion dollars using Epstein's tax avoidant strategies, and 435 00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:28.519 in twenty twenty one pledged to donate two hundred million 436 00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:32.079 dollars to women's initiatives. They always say that, right, we're 437 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.799 going to donate to this woman's initiative. Then the money 438 00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:38.680 goes to this gigantic I'm using air quotes here charity 439 00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:42.279 where only pennies on the dollar even reached the victims. 440 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:43.519 So it's all bs. 441 00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:46.240 And my guess is he's probably giving the money to 442 00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:49.720 some foundation that's run by a friend to his. You 443 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:52.640 know how the nepotism works with these scumbags, all of 444 00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:55.319 these people, the so called elite, they have a lot 445 00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:56.240 of disdain for you. 446 00:26:56.839 --> 00:26:56.960 VI. 447 00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:02.079 Attorney General Office spokesperson the nie Us H. Velasquez said 448 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:05.240 in a statement Friday evening that the settlement with Black 449 00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:09.400 reflects the department's determination to fight human trafficking. Oh give 450 00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:12.400 me a break, So who did you arrest? How many 451 00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:14.799 people have you arrested? And how much of that money 452 00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.519 have you distributed to the survivors of Epstein. Oh that's right, none, 453 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:21.680 not one single dollar and nobody arrested. So do us 454 00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:23.839 a favor and stop trying to tell US. This is 455 00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.440 all about justice. This is all about secure in a 456 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:29.440 bag and getting more money for the US Virgin Islands. 457 00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:33.799 For the past several years, the Virgin Islands Department of 458 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.119 Justice has made it a priority to support human trafficking 459 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.559 victims and to enforce the law to prevent and deter 460 00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:46.240 human trafficking. Unlike any single individual, JP Morgan had detailed 461 00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:50.759 and comprehensive financial data on Epstein's activities and the legal 462 00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:54.559 obligation to share that information with law enforcement so that 463 00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:58.319 it could act to

stop his ongoing abuse, said Veliques. 464 00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:03.000 The Virgin Islands Deal has and will continue to allocate 465 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:08.200 substantial resources from settlements and enforcement actions to enhancing and 466 00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:13.640 expanding its counseling and mental health services and preventing human trafficking. Oh, 467 00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:17.200 give me a break. They've had all this time to 468 00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:19.880 do that. They've had all the opportunity in the world 469 00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:22.480 to do that, and they've also had all the opportunity 470 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:25.400 in the world to hold people accountable. They've done none 471 00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:28.200 of it, not one single bit of it. But now, oh, 472 00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:31.599 now they're going to allocate all the resources that are needed. Yeah, 473 00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:34.000 I'm sure the people of the US Virgin Islands, the 474 00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:36.640 people who need those resources the most are going to 475 00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:39.559 get them, because you know, that's exactly what governments do 476 00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:43.920 after a cash grab. According to The Times, some of 477 00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:46.319 the money from the settlement with Black will go to 478 00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:51.079 mental health programs and to combat sex trafficking in the territory. No, 479 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:53.440 it's not. What does that even mean? Talk about a 480 00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:57.400 vagueas statement. Give us a line by line, itemized list 481 00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:00.480 of where this money is going, and here's an idea. 482 00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:02.920 Instead of doing that, why don't you give this money 483 00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:06.480 to the survivors. Oh, that's right, because that's not what 484 00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:10.400 it's about. It's not about justice. It's about greed. Like 485 00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:14.279 everybody else involved in this bullshit, it's about greed. The 486 00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:17.720 settlement does not cover claims that anyone else might bring 487 00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:20.960 against Black, but also cannot be used as evidence of 488 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:24.680 wrongdoing by him, The paper reported, wait to give him 489 00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:28.000 an assist US Virgin Islands. Imagine in the middle of 490 00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:31.960 his other legal disputes criminal, mind you, the US Virgin 491 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.960 Islands comes flying in here and collects a few bucks. 492 00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:38.200 It's like when the vultures are circling right, somebody's about 493 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:40.599 to die in the desert or whatever, and you got 494 00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:43.400 the vultures circling above them. Well, that's what the US 495 00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:46.440 Virgin Islands is like whenever there's a settlement to be had. 496 00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:49.880 When it comes to Ebstein with Clay, a spokesman for 497 00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:53.160 Black told The Times that the mogul engaged and made 498 00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:58.039 payments to Jeffrey Epstein for legitimate financial services, which, based 499 00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:02.079 on everything now known, he very much regrets. Consistent with 500 00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:06.000 settlements of other major US banks, mister Black resolved the 501 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:11.880 usvi's potential claims arising out of the unintended consequences of 502 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:16.240 those payments, which allegedly involved Epstein's Southern Trust Company, the 503 00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:20.079 same one that received lucrative tax benefits through the Territories 504 00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:23.720 Economic Development Commission and was at the center of the 505 00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:27.440 USVII suit against his estate. And just think about that 506 00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:30.480 for a minute. All of these people that were involved, 507 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.279 every single one of them, is able to buy their 508 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:38.319 way out of this, no extra scrutiny, no criminal charges, nothing. 509 00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:41.400 And it's not just about money. Remember, guys like El 510 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.559 Choppo have money, John Gotti had money. You know, they 511 00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.359 don't have connections in the government. If you don't have 512 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:50.200 connections in the government, you don't have connections in the 513 00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:53.640 doj then your money is worthless if you get in trouble. 514 00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:57.559 When we're talking about a guy like Leon Black, he's 515 00:30:57.599 --> 00:30:59.480 not just a duo with money. This is a man 516 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:02.400 that runs in the halls of power, knows all of 517 00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:05.240 the power brokers. And if anybody ever thought that he 518 00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:08.079 was going to be really held responsible for what he did, 519 00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.440 well they were smoking that good good because guys like this, 520 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:15.000 as history has shown us, are never held responsible. And 521 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.359 that's because there's always the outlet, the outlet of paying 522 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:20.960 a few bucks to get out of trouble and to 523 00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:23.640 get yourself off the hook. And time and time again 524 00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:27.240 we have seen these governments allow that shit, and we 525 00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.279 see these judges gleefully sign off on it. Well, at 526 00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:32.920 some point that has to end, and there has to 527 00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:35.839 be real repercussions for scus balls who are doing the 528 00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:40.079 bullshit that these idiots are doing. The

Justice Department produced 529 00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:44.119 a copy of the previously unreported settlement agreement in response 530 00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:46.880 to a public records request by The Times. The paper 531 00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:51.200 said the deal was reached during a private mediation session 532 00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:54.680 in January. According to another document reviewed by the. 533 00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:57.160 Time, dude, He's the life of the party.

Black, a 542 00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:22.720 married father of four, has faced accusations by a woman 543 00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:26.680 named Gazelle Ganieva, who claimed she was sexually harassed and 544 00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:30.759 abused by him for years and ultimately forced to sign 545 00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:35.240 a non disclosure agreement under duress, according to reports by 546 00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:40.000 Business Insider, Bloomberg and Reuters. He has said it was 547 00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:43.720 a consensual affair. She also alleged that he introduced her 548 00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:46.680 to Epstein and tried to force her to have sex 549 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:51.279 with them. Another accuser, Sherry Pearson, said Black raped her 550 00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:54.400 in two thousand and two in Epstein's mansion in New 551 00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:58.480 York City, according to reports by CNN, the Wall Street Journal, 552 00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:02.680 and The New York Post. Black has denied those claims. 553 00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:07.359 The January deal with Black came after the territory settled 554 00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.640 a suit against Epstein's estate for one hundred and five 555 00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.119 million dollars in November. It subsequently sued JP Morgan Chase 556 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.200 the wealthy financier's bank, you mean pedophiles bank. In December, 557 00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:23.319 the bank is denied wrongdoing and said the government's lawsuit 558 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:26.680 is a master class in deflection. It is a master 559 00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:30.480 class in deflection. But that said, JP Morgan is liable. 560 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:33.759 Both sides here are liable, the US Virgin Islands and 561 00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:39.119 JP Morgan. The VI government is seeking damages of one 562 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:42.119 hundred and ninety million dollars in that case, alleging the 563 00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:46.480 bank violated the Trafficking Victims Protection Act in its dealings 564 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:50.640 with Epstein. According to court documents, that suit is ongoing, 565 00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:54.559 with a trial date of October twenty third. Now, remember 566 00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:57.880 Deutsche Bank only paid out seventy five million, so Leon 567 00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:02.440 Black pays out almost as much as a whole ass bank. Okay, Well, 568 00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:04.519 what was he really up to if he's panned out 569 00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.440 that kind of money. The government has alleged and its 570 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:11.920 filings that Epstein connected JP Morgan Chase executives with some 571 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:16.039 of the world's most high profile and wealthy individuals, such 572 00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:19.519 as Black. It claims that in return for bringing valuable 573 00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:23.920 new clients into the bank, JP Morgan, through its senior executives, 574 00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:27.800 ignored the evidence of Epstein's crimes and traded victims public 575 00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:31.400 safety for its own profits. Sounds like the same exact 576 00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:35.320 thing that the US Virgin Islands did, because that's what 577 00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:38.639 they did. How else did Epstein get all of these 578 00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:41.719 taxi cups? Why was he able to continue to bring 579 00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:44.840 girls to this island. They don't ever want to answer 580 00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:47.559 any of that stuff, but at some point they're gonna 581 00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:50.880 have to. And Judge Raykoff isn't really buying their bs. 582 00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:53.639 He is not buying the bs of the US Virgin 583 00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:56.519 Islands when it comes to this lawsuit. So it's gonna 584 00:34:56.519 --> 00:34:58.800 be very very interesting to see what happens inside of 585 00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.639 this courtroom if it to that point, and I think 586 00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:05.239 it's going to. JP Morgan has no desire to settle 587 00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:08.400 with the US Virgin Islands. In fact, they've already taken 588 00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:11.440 the posture that they're ready to litigate until the cows 589 00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:15.519 come home. And litigating against JP Morgan Chase, I don't 590 00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:18.239 care if you're a government or not, is not going 591 00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.320 to be a cheap or fun experience. 592 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.159 These guys have lawyers out of the wazoo, and. 593 00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:25.679 They're going to make it super expensive for the US 594 00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:30.000 Virgin Islands, according to the Government. Beyond black, Epstein offered 595 00:35:30.079

--> 00:35:34.599 JP Morgan access to such high profile individuals as Prince 596 00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:39.079 Andrew of Great Britain, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, former US 597 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:44.800 presidential advisor David Gergan, Israeli general and politician Ehwood Barrock, 598 00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:50.559 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the children of former Australian 599 00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:55.119 Prime Minister Paul Keating, Lord Peter Mandelsson of the British government, 600 00:35:55.719 --> 00:35:59.400 the Agnelli family of Fiat motor company fame, and the 601 00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:03.239 ruling ship aches of Kuwait, Baran Dubai and the United 602 00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:06.840 Arab Emirates, among many others. That list reads like the 603 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:10.000 bad guy list in a superhero movie. And it's also 604 00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:12.880 interesting how many people on that list have ties to 605 00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:17.719 you know who. Bill Clinton Epstein, sixty six, a registered 606 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:20.840 sex offender who pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for 607 00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:24.360 prostitution in Florida in two thousand and eight, was found 608 00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:28.360 dead by apparent suicide in August of twenty nineteen while 609 00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:32.519 in detention in New York on federal Human trafficking charges. 610 00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:37.119 His primary residence was Little Saint James, his private island 611 00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:40.679 off Saint Thomas, where for years he trafficked in girls 612 00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:43.639 and young women and ran a complex web of shell 613 00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:48.320 companies registered in the USVII that enabled his crimes. Court 614 00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:51.960 documents have alleged. So who set that up? Was it 615 00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:55.119 JP Morgan or was it the government in the US 616 00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:57.719 Virgin Islands. We all know who set it up, and 617 00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:00.320 we all know who benefited from it. So the US 618 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:03.599 Virgin Islands wants to get duked on both ends of this. 619 00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:06.079 So you want to get duked on the front end 620 00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:09.440 and the back end. Meanwhile, you shouldn't be getting any 621 00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:13.559 money whatsoever, never mind both ends of it. Epstein, who 622 00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:17.079 held some fifty JP Morgan accounts, was valued at more 623 00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:19.800 than five hundred and seventy seven million dollars at the 624 00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:23.280 time of his death, according to court documents. We all 625 00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:26.400 know it was more than that. The offshore unaccounted for 626 00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:29.400 money forget it. How much is that worth? Who knows, 627 00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:31.639 but we know there's a ton of it. That's what 628 00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:35.480 he excelled in. That's what Epstein did. He hid money overseas. 629 00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:37.760 He hid money, so you didn't have to pay taxes, 630 00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:40.480 and that's what he did for people like Leon Black 631 00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:43.119 and the rest of these dirt bags. Meanwhile, you have 632 00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:46.320 the government over here looking at your Etsy account and 633 00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:48.920 then they wonder why people are pissed off, and it 634 00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:51.840 just adds to the frustration. It adds to the anger 635 00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:55.320 when people like Leon Black continuously are able to buy 636 00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:57.800 their way out of problems that would have the rest 637 00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:01.039 of us rotting in jail. And so the story goes, 638 00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:04.360 all right, everybody, that's a wrap for this one. All 639 00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.960 of the information that goes with the episode can be 640 00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:08.840 found in the description box.
