00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.839
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein chronicles.
2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:08.679
Jeffrey Epstein and his buddies were giving money to all
3
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:11.759
kinds of think tanks, and a lot of those think
4
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:18.280
tanks were of international renown. One of those think tanks
5
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.719
that they gave money to was a un affiliated think
6
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:27.559
tank called the IPI. Now that stands for the International
7
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:32.280
Peace Institute. And we've talked about this group before and
8
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.960
how Jeffrey Epstein was one of the donors. Well, there
9
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.960
was another anonymous donor to this group, and another person
10
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.200
that you're all very familiar with, and that person was
11
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.560
Leon Black. So today we have an article from DN
12
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.200
and this article was originally published on October twenty second
13
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:59.920
of twoenty twenty headline Leon Black did, like his advisor,
14
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.840
Jeffrey Epstein, gave anonymously to U an affiliated thing tank.
15
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.920
In March of twenty sixteen, the International Peace Institute IPI
16
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.599
was completing a list of donors who received special recognition
17
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.640
in the thing tank's annual report. The foundations of the
18
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:22.799
billionaires Bill Gates and George Soros were listed, but there
19
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.280
was a major contributor who was not mentioned, and just
20
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.159
right there from Jump Street, Bill Gates and George Soros,
21
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.799
two of the richest dudes out there right, two of
22
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:39.400
the most powerful men when you're talking about finances. An
23
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.120
IPI employee asked if the donors should be thanked, as
24
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.680
he gave a lot of money to fund several events.
25
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.000
Later that day, she sent a new message referring to
26
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.480
a discussion with the IPI president, Terry Rod Larson. As
27
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.040
discussed with Terry, please do not mention Leon Black, she
28
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.280
wrote in one of several emails the Norwegian Bill Business
29
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.439
Daily as obtained So why wouldn't Leon Black want anyone
30
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.200
to know that he's donating to this group? Oh? Could
31
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.520
it be because of his tie, his ties to Epstein
32
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.000
and all of the ties that bind. The idea was
33
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.000
them to leave as little of a paper trail as
34
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.560
possible when

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.

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,

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

I discussed can be found in the description box. 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.

Noepea's necessary foot We're comitted by mom eighteen plus terms

and condition to ply se website for details. 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.
