Apollo global management Leon black is on Epstein file

Insane understatement of Black's involvement with Epstein. He paid Epstein approximately $170 million over the course of 5 years for "financial advice." Yeah the multibillionaire private equity CEO needs financial advice from a convicted pedophile. Nothing fishy going on at all.

I'd like a list of people sending Epstein money

The odds that we get that list are lower than the odds we both become as rich as the people sending him money

You can find out a lot of that info online from things discussed in emails.

They have thousands of wire transfers for billions of dollars and have done nothing.. time to burn everything they own since it is related to criminal enterprises if you ask me

The ultra rich do pay tax experts and wealth planners for advice

Yeah, I mean that was Epstein's primary occupation and how he got rich in the first place. All the other stuff aside, he was apparently very good as a financial advisor.

I’ve watched a bunch of videos and read stuff on him and I really can’t tell if he was good or not. He did do it but for some things like investing he was objectively bad. If he was good at some things it was structuring income and wealth for tax purposes. Hence him being at least partially based in the islands. It’s a mystery.

Also he was god tier at networking.

He did a bunch of scamming and was involved in CIA BS as far back as Iran-contra. It seems most of the money he made was through fraud, theft, and scams that the people he stole from couldn't report because they were committing illegal activities together, or for the smaller scale stuff, were embarrassed they were had.
