Podcast appearances and mentions of Apollo Global Management

Leon Black, billionaire cofounder of Apollo Global Management, was for years a heavyweight political donor, spreading money to both Democrats and Republicans. In 2016 alone, he poured in more than $590,000 across campaigns and committees, with large sums going to both parties' super PACs—$250,000 to the Democratic-aligned Senate Majority PAC and $150,000 to the Republican-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund. His donations continued into later cycles, but the amounts dropped sharply once his connections to Jeffrey Epstein became public, with watchdogs noting a steep decline in his political spending after 2020.When it came to his personal scandals, Black has claimed he was the one being targeted rather than the perpetrator. After Guzel Ganieva filed her 2021 lawsuit alleging sexual assault and coercion, Black fired back that the allegations were “fiction” and part of an extortion scheme. He launched counterclaims of defamation, insisted he had proof in the form of texts and calls, and argued that he was the victim of a calculated conspiracy meant to “destroy” him through litigation and media pressure. Black's stance has consistently been that he was set up—framed as both a financial and reputational hit job orchestrated by opportunists who saw him as a target.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack. The jury's foreman: “We felt that they could have done more back in the early days of Uber, rather than just focusing on growth,”Meet Lisa Monaco, the 57-year-old Microsoft executive Trump wants fired“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama. Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco's having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”Monaco helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the Jan. 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021. In January 2022, Monaco publicly announced that the Justice Department was investigating the Trump fake electors plotMilitary women fear losing 'every bit of ground' as Hegseth looks backward to the 1990sDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he wants to review Defense Department standards that have changed since the 1990s, a time when military women saw far less support for their service and met drastically lower physical standards than today: "The 1990s test is simple. What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf.

The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that.

Denise George, the former Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands, took a highly aggressive approach in pursuing Jeffrey Epstein's financial network, using subpoenas as her primary weapon. Her office demanded records from major banks—including JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and Citibank—seeking detailed information on Epstein's accounts, shell companies, and offshore structures. She also extended subpoenas to powerful financiers like Leon Black and his firm Apollo Global Management, as well as Glenn Dubin and his wife, requiring them to produce financial statements and communications tied to their dealings with Epstein. These subpoenas aimed to uncover the hidden channels through which Epstein moved money, secured influence, and allegedly funded his trafficking operation.The broader intent behind George's subpoenas was not just to secure financial restitution from Epstein's estate, but to expose the web of enablers who may have knowingly or unknowingly facilitated his crimes. Her legal filings accused Epstein and his entities of running a criminal enterprise involving sex trafficking, forced labor, and aggravated sexual assault in the Virgin Islands. By targeting banks and billionaires alike, George's subpoenas sent a clear message: Epstein's power was built on institutional complicity, and the only way to dismantle it was to follow the money wherever it led.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Leon Black, billionaire co-founder of Apollo Global Management, maintained a direct and lucrative financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein long after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Records show Black paid Epstein roughly $158 million between 2012 and 2017 for what he characterized as tax, estate, and philanthropic advisory work. Despite Epstein's notoriety, Black said he relied on top law firms and accounting advisors to vet Epstein's services, insisting the payments were tied to legitimate advice.Beyond financial dealings, Black's inclusion in Epstein's 2003 “birthday book” underscored a social tie as well. He submitted a poem that alluded to Epstein's reputation for financial wizardry, suggesting familiarity beyond just business. Congressional investigators and Senate leaders have since questioned whether the scale of the payments was commensurate with the services Epstein claimed to provide, calling for deeper IRS scrutiny into whether Epstein was effectively a shadow fixer for Black's wealth.to  contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.crainsnewyork.com/finance/epstein-had-door-apollo-his-deep-ties-blackBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Apollo Global Management (along with VICI Properties) struck a massive deal to acquire The Venetian Resort, Palazzo, and Sands Expo from Las Vegas Sands for about $6.25 billion. The deal split the real estate and operations: VICI bought the land and real estate assets (~$4 billion), while Apollo acquired the operating company. Apollo is responsible for running day-to-day operations including hotel rooms, casinos, dining, entertainment, and conventions. Seller financing and favorable lease terms with VICI were part of the structure, making it a complex transaction with shared responsibilitiesRegulators in Nevada approved Apollo's license to operate the properties, despite concerns tied to Apollo's past (notably its prior ownership of Caesars and founder Leon Black's controversies). To address those concerns, Apollo agreed to strict governance structures: Leon Black, though still a shareholder, would have no day-to-day control, no board seat, and would stay fully separated from decision-making for these properties. Apollo reinforced that this deal is very different from its prior stressful venture with Caesars, mainly with less leverage, clearer operational expectations, and stronger protections.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.nevadacurrent.com/2022/02/01/as-apollo-makes-license-bid-for-sands-founder-alleges-conspiracy-against-co-founder/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In July 2023, billionaire Leon Black, co-founder of Apollo Global Management, agreed to pay roughly $62.5 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands to resolve potential claims tied to his financial dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. The USVI had been pursuing Epstein's estate and associates for enabling or benefiting from his trafficking network, and Black was facing scrutiny over large payments made to Epstein's companies for so-called “financial advice.” The settlement gave Black immunity from criminal liability in the USVI and ended the possibility of a lawsuit there, though it did not include an admission of wrongdoing. Black has consistently said the payments were legitimate professional fees and that he had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes.The deal, however, did not put all questions to rest. Around the same time, the Senate Finance Committee, led by Senator Ron Wyden, released documents showing Black paid Epstein far more than originally known—over $150 million between 2012 and 2017—sparking deeper concerns that such vast sums may have indirectly financed Epstein's operations. The revelations intensified scrutiny not only of Black's judgment but also of whether banks and institutions involved properly flagged or investigated the transactions. While the $62 million settlement resolved matters with the Virgin Islands, it left lingering doubts about the true nature of Black's relationship with Epstein and whether full accountability was ever reached.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Leon Black, CEO of Apollo Global Management, wrote to his investors expressing regret over his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but he strongly denied wrongdoing or any inappropriate conduct. Black acknowledged that he transferred between $50 million and $75 million to Epstein as far back as 2008, and detailed that Epstein provided professional services to Black's family partnership — services such as estate planning, tax advice, and philanthropic consulting.Black insisted that all of his dealings with Epstein were in a personal capacity and that Apollo itself did not conduct business with Epstein. He said he was “completely unaware” of, and appalled by, the wrongdoing revealed in late 2018 that led to the criminal charges against Epstein. He also pledged to cooperate with ongoing investigations, including that by the U.S. Virgin Islands, while maintaining that none of the conduct was illegal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.reuters.com/article/us-people-jeffrey-epstein-apollo-global/apollo-ceo-black-says-he-regrets-ties-to-epstein-denies-any-wrongdoing-idUSKBN26X2PDThe letter:https://www.axios.com/leon-black-jeffrey-epstein-0eff63bd-6549-4c03-a93a-bb99766dcade.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

For all the doomsaying about US President Donald Trump's trade and economic policies, the world's biggest economy has held up relatively well, at least on the surface. Markets are up, trade demand remains firm and the Federal Reserve is moving toward interest rate cuts, which could spur more activity. But Steven Okun, founder and CEO of APAC Advisors, warns that the worst is yet to come. Global exports that surged in the run-up to August’s reciprocal levies are cooling, the US labor market is slowing, and markets will react once the data confirms economists’ warnings, he says. Though the slew of global levies provides some clarity, questions remain over Trump's motivations on trade policy and his tendency to upend matters with one social media post. Okun speaks with John and Katia from Singapore. Join us for Bloomberg's Investment Management Summit in Singapore on Oct. 7, featuring leading investors, asset managers and experts, to unlock insights and strategies for geopolitical volatility, technology innovation and sustainable growth.

Leon Black's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein stands as one of the most damning scandals to come out of the financier's world. Despite Epstein's 2008 conviction as a sex offender, Black—billionaire co-founder of Apollo Global Management—paid him over $170 million for what he later called “tax and estate planning.” Those claims collapsed under scrutiny, especially after Senator Ron Wyden's Finance Committee investigation revealed the true scale of the payments and raised questions about whether they were legitimate services or hush money. Black's evasions, his refusal to provide documentation, and his settlement with the U.S. Virgin Islands for $62.5 million only deepened suspicions.What emerges is not a story of poor judgment, but of complicity. Black was not Epstein's victim—he was his lifeline, bankrolling him long after his downfall and sustaining his influence in elite circles. The lawsuits accusing Black of sexual assault, coupled with his forced resignation from Apollo, cemented his fall. Yet he remains untouched by criminal charges, shielded by wealth and the systemic failures of regulators, banks, and cultural institutions. Leon Black's legacy is not one of brilliance on Wall Street but of disgrace: the billionaire who bankrolled a predator and never gave the world an honest explanation why.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Senate Finance Committee launched an investigation into billionaire Leon Black's financial dealings with Jeffrey Epstein after it was revealed that Black had paid Epstein over $158 million for tax and estate planning services between 2012 and 2017—years after Epstein's conviction for sex crimes involving minors. Lawmakers expressed concern not just over the extraordinary size of the payments, but over whether they were legitimate business expenses or a cover for something more nefarious. The committee sought records to determine if Black used Epstein's offshore entities or connections to facilitate improper tax avoidance, and whether the transactions raised red flags related to money laundering or abuse of financial loopholes.The investigation intensified as Black's name continued to surface in civil litigation filed by Epstein survivors, some of whom accused him of rape and knowingly participating in Epstein's trafficking network. Senators questioned whether the payments to Epstein were part of a broader pattern of financial manipulation and whether Black had accurately disclosed these dealings to tax authorities and shareholders of Apollo Global Management, the private equity firm he co-founded. The inquiry underscored how deeply Epstein's shadow extended into the world of high finance—and how figures like Black, who claimed to have cut ties with Epstein, remained entangled long after public denials were issued.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawmakers Question Bank of America About Leon Black's Payments to Epstein - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

The committee sought records to determine if Black used Epstein's offshore entities or connections to facilitate improper tax avoidance, and whether the transactions raised red flags related to money laundering or abuse of financial loopholes.The investigation intensified as Black's name continued to surface in civil litigation filed by Epstein survivors, some of whom accused him of rape and knowingly participating in Epstein's trafficking network. Senators questioned whether the payments to Epstein were part of a broader pattern of financial manipulation and whether Black had accurately disclosed these dealings to tax authorities and shareholders of Apollo Global Management, the private equity firm he co-founded. The inquiry underscored how deeply Epstein's shadow extended into the world of high finance—and how figures like Black, who claimed to have cut ties with Epstein, remained entangled long after public denials were issued.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawmakers Question Bank of America About Leon Black's Payments to Epstein - The New York Times (nytimes.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Leon Black, the former cofounder of Apollo Global Management with deep ties to Jeffrey Epstein, has donated significant sums to the IPI—reportedly at least $950,000—in a pattern that closely mirrors Epstein's own shadowy funding of the institute. Even though Black has attempted to distance himself publicly, the conduit appears to have been deliberately opaque: donations through intermediaries, anonymity, and minimal disclosure have raised flags among those investigating Epstein's network. These contributions come under scrutiny not only because Epstein was involved in brokering them but also because the donations were structured to conceal the true source and avoid public recognition.Meanwhile, Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden has escalated concerns by requesting documents from the DOJ, Treasury, and FBI about Black's financing of Epstein's operations. Wyden's investigation revealed that Black transferred at least $170 million to Epstein between 2012 and 2017—far exceeding the $158 million previously acknowledged—and that some of those funds directly supported Epstein's operations in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In 2023, Black settled claims with the USVI by paying $62.5 million—a case that stated some of his payments were used to fund Epstein's illicit activities on Little St. James Island. Critics argue that the use of IPI and other charitable vehicles to mask these funds reflects a deliberate effort to launder legitimacy onto Epstein's network.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dn.no/politikk/the-international-peace-institute/jeffrey-epstein/terje-rod-larsen/leon-black-did-like-his-adviser-jeffrey-epstein-gave-anonymously-to-un-affiliated-think-tank/2-1-897114

We keep hearing the refrain that there's billions of dollars sitting on the sidelines for commercial real estate. Well if that's true, then why is it so hard to raise capital in the current environment? Every investor and every developer I speak with is saying that investors are sitting on their wallets. There is a substantial amount of dry powder available for commercial real estate investment across various firms, with London-based investment data company Preqin putting the number at more than $350 billion. Much of it is held by the largest private equity and alternative investment firms, including Blackstone, Brookfield Asset Management, Ares Management, KKR, Carlyle Group, Apollo Global Management, TPG Capital and Starwood Capital Group.Much of the dry powder was raised three or more years ago and has been left unspent. Funds often have set periods during which they must spend money they've taken in from investors, and that deadline is approaching with many companies showing new signs of activity. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Is the space sector actually financed in the right way? That's probably the main question I'm discussing with my guest Justin Stevens, founder and CEO of the investment firm Overlap Holdings. He spent 18 years at Apollo Global Management, a very prominent private equity firm.

The US and China de-escalated trade tensions, agreeing to a preliminary deal on how to implement the consensus the two sides reached in Geneva, negotiators for both sides said. While the full details of their accord weren't immediately available, US negotiators said they "absolutely expect" that issues around shipments of rare earth minerals and magnets will be resolved with the framework implementation. We get reaction from George Schultze, Founder and CEO at Schultze Wealth Management. Financial markets were closely watching whether the world's largest economies can find a way to tamp down trade tensions that economists say have tipped the world economy into a downturn, with the US among the hardest hit. Despite the modest moves Wednesday, global stocks are still at a record high, having recovered from their April lows as President Donald Trump suspended his tariffs until July 9th.

For many years, the continued rise of private markets has been defined by assets under management (AUM), while the composition of the industry evolved significantly. This week, two of McKinsey’s Private Capital Practice experts are joined by Neil Mehta from Apollo Global Management to discuss the diverse types of non-traditional private capital increasingly being raised by general partners (GPs), and how asset managers will need to continue to adapt to meet this growing complexity and the variety of needs that their investors are looking to them to solve. McKinsey Senior Partner Alexander Edlich is a senior leader in McKinsey’s Private Capital Practice, and is based in New York. He’s the lead author of our 2025 Global Private Markets Review, and has more than two decades of experience advising financial services firms, including alternative asset managers and investors, on how to address ever-changing industry dynamics. McKinsey Partner Paul Maia co-leads McKinsey’s work on advising the C-suite of private capital GPs, as well as the private capital arms of institutional investors, and is based in Washington, D.C. Neil Mehta is a partner and global head of new markets at Apollo Global Management in New York, where he is responsible for driving growth into markets that have historically had limited exposure to private assets, including traditional asset management, defined contribution, and tax advantage strategies. Neil is also a member of Apollo’s leadership team.

Apollo Global Management has issued a severe warning for the U.S., forecasting mass layoffs in the trucking and retail sectors expected to begin in the next four to six weeks due to the ripple effects of tariffs and trade uncertainty. This outlook includes anticipated shortages across the retail space as import volumes are expected to drop substantially, with declining import volumes impacting trucking workloads and forcing carriers to cut labor costs. DHL has ended its temporary suspension on shipping medium-value business-to-consumer (B2C) goods valued between $800 and $2,500 to the United States after negotiating changes to customs rules that previously created administrative burdens and shipment backlogs. This allows these shipments to once again enter the U.S. using expedited informal declaration processes, although DHL noted customers might still experience some slight delays as they work through the backlog. President Trump has signed an executive order requiring the nation's truck drivers to be proficient in speaking and reading English. The order mandates revising out-of-service criteria to ensure drivers violating this English proficiency rule are placed out-of-service, aiming to enhance roadway safety by adding enforcement to existing federal law.

Trump announced his "liberation day" tariffs on April 2 and it takes about 20-40 days for container ships to sail to the U.S. from China, according to Apollo. Slok estimates that container ships coming to U.S. ports could come to a stop by mid May. It then takes about 1-10 days of transit time for trucking/rail to bring goods from the ports to cities. Apollo Global Management predicts that my late May domestic freight demand will "come to a halt" and that there will be "empty shelves" with companies responding "to lower sales." By early June, Slok forecasts there will be layoffs in the the domestic freight and retail industries with a recession hitting the U.S. this summer.

The Senate is set to vote as early as this week on a resolution to rescind Trump's national emergency declaration justifying the imposition of broad tariffs on imported goods.
