Podcast appearances and mentions of Apollo Global Management

Leon Black is the founder and former CEO of Apollo Global Management, a leading alternate asset management firm with approximately $1 trillion under management. Black stepped down as CEO in March 2021 when the extent of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein became public. In particular Black's payment to Epstein of more than $150 million continues to garner questions. The book explores Leon Black's career, the growth of Apollo and the rise of New Wall Street.

In this week's LPL Market Signals, Chief Economist Dr. Jeffrey Roach is joined by Dr. Torsten Slok of Apollo Global Management to discuss a variety of topics including how AI is impacting the job market and why a world short on savings could keep rates higher for longer. Tracking: #1175034

En el episodio de hoy me siento nuevamente con el Capitán Carlos Benítez, mejor conocido como el capitán de los artistas y fundador de Puerto Rico Helitours y Benítez 360.Carlos me cuenta cómo todo comenzó con un carrito de hot dogs en Bayamón a los 17 años, el momento en el que sus papás hipotecaron la casa para pagarle los estudios de piloto, cómo pasó de piloto de la Policía de Puerto Rico a volar a Don Omar en un momento en que ninguna compañía quería darle servicio a los artistas urbanos y cómo el mal trato de su propio suplidor lo empujó a levantar Puerto Rico FBO.También hablamos sobre el FBO de $20 millones que le vendió a Apollo Global Management 14 meses después de inaugurarlo, los momentos oscuros que las redes nunca muestran, el video de 15 segundos de Tito el Bambino que le cambió la vida, su apuesta por la juventud puertorriqueña y por qué hoy está construyendo Benítez 360 para que la empresa funcione sin él.Tres "takeaways" de este episodio:1.⁠ "Yo no me comparo nunca con el que está menos que yo, me comparo con el que está arriba."2. "Yo veo el resultado final, yo no veo el proceso. Porque si tú te pones a ver en detalle el proceso, te vas a quitar porque no hay procesos fáciles."3. "La virtud para un líder es escuchar. Escuchar y aplicar, escuchar y aplicar."Suscríbete a nuestro newsletter "Miércoles de Mentores" - https://mentoresenlinea.com/ Sigue al Capitán:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/captcarlosbenitez/Sigue a Puerto Rico Helitours:Pagina Web - https://puertoricohelitours.com/Instagram  - https://www.instagram.com/puertoricohelitours/

Inflation is sticky, bond markets have been wobbling and his insistence on minimal Fed communication has been seen by some to make matters worse. Soumaya speaks to Torsten Slok, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, to discuss what Warsh did (and didn't say), the changing relationship between the Fed and the Treasury and how the central bank should fight America's growing fiscal issues.Subscribe to Soumaya's show on Apple, Spotify, Pocket Casts or wherever you listen.Join Soumaya Keynes on Saturday September 5 at Kenwood House Gardens in London, or online as the FT Weekend paper comes to life.

Five federal agencies just warned that hackers are using AI to attack the computers running America's water plants and factories. That same week, a trillion-dollar investment firm was breached, not by a virus, but by a phone call. The hard part of hacking is disappearing. Every business owner needs to understand why. What used to keep attackers out is now what lets them in. Bryan Hornung, Randy Bryan, and Reginald Andre break down this week's stories for executives, owners, and operators who don't have time to keep up with cyber news but can't afford to be blindsided. Start with the story that should stop you cold. The NSA, CISA, the FBI, the Department of Energy, and the EPA issued a rare joint warning: hackers are using AI to write code that attacks Siemens industrial controllers, the small computers that physically run water systems, power, and manufacturing. They took free, legitimate engineering tools and had AI turn them into custom attack software. The agencies say this dramatically cuts the skill and time an attack like this used to require. Difficulty was the wall that kept amateurs out of industrial systems. AI is tearing it down. And it is not theoretical. Security firm Dragos already documented a real intrusion where someone with no industrial background used commercial AI to go after a water utility's controls. The advisory names six sectors in the line of fire, from energy and water to food and manufacturing. These attacks are as weak as they will ever be, because the AI only gets better from here. Then Randy takes on Apollo Global Management, the Wall Street giant with about a trillion dollars under management. Attackers didn't break its technology. They called employees pretending to be internal IT, then guided them to fake login pages that captured their passwords and security codes. From there, they reached names, birth dates, home addresses, and Social Security numbers. This was not a lone hacker. Google ties it to a professionalized extortion crew that moves from one industry to the next running the same script, with demands that often start around three million dollars. A firm with a massive security budget was beaten by a convincing conversation, and a class-action lawsuit started forming within days. If a phone call works on Apollo, it can work on your team too. Reginald closes with SickKids, one of the most respected children's hospitals in the world. No patient records were touched. Employee and job-applicant data leaked through a flaw in third-party software the hospital didn't even build. Consider that last group: job applicants who handed over Social Security numbers to a place they did not even work yet. This repeat victim has now been burned by outside software three times, and it fits a bigger pattern: through the first half of 2026, vendors were involved in 43 percent of healthcare breaches. Another vendor breach this year hit 1.8 million people. Your biggest risk is often a company you'll never meet, inside a tool you already trust. • How hackers are using AI to attack the industrial controllers behind US water and power • Why Apollo Global Management got breached by a phone call, not a virus • How SickKids leaked employee and applicant data through a vendor's software • Why the skill it takes to attack a business is collapsing fast • What "verify who's really calling" actually looks like for your team • How to find the vendors quietly holding your most sensitive data • The one thread connecting all three: what used to keep attackers out now lets them in Security Squawk is a weekly podcast and live stream for business owners and executives.

Leon Black's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein exposed just how deeply the worlds of high finance, elite philanthropy, and blue-chip art could overlap without much meaningful scrutiny. Black, the billionaire cofounder of Apollo Global Management and one of the most powerful private collectors in the world, paid Epstein roughly $170 million over six years for financial and tax-related services, even though Epstein had already pleaded guilty in 2008 to offenses involving a minor and was a registered sex offender throughout much of their professional relationship. The newly released material showed that Epstein's role went well beyond giving Black occasional financial advice. Epstein became deeply involved in the machinery surrounding Black's enormous art collection, meticulously cataloguing works that were ultimately used as collateral for hundreds of millions of dollars in borrowing. Black's collection, once appraised by Christie's at roughly $2.7 billion, included extraordinary trophies such as Edvard Munch's The Scream, multiple works by Raphael, and a Picasso sculpture purchased for $125 million. Yet Black continued to portray his relationship with Epstein largely as a matter of financial expertise, insisting he had not understood the true extent of Epstein's criminality and describing himself as someone who had been misled. That explanation became much harder to swallow alongside Black's own acknowledgment that he knew about Epstein's 2008 conviction but did not regard it as sufficiently serious to stop doing business with him.The story was also an indictment of an art world that has repeatedly demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to overlook almost anything when enormous wealth, prestigious collections, and major donations are involved. Black did not merely purchase paintings; his money bought him extraordinary institutional standing, culminating in his chairmanship of the Museum of Modern Art, while his masterpieces circulated through museums that benefited from his patronage and prestige. Even after the Epstein relationship became impossible to ignore, Black remained on MoMA's board and continued appearing at major art fairs, museum dinners, galleries, sporting events, and elite cultural gatherings. That resilience illustrated one of the uglier realities of the contemporary art ecosystem: museums and cultural institutions frequently present themselves as moral authorities while remaining financially dependent upon billionaires whose money grants them astonishing insulation from ordinary reputational consequences. Black eventually surrendered leadership positions at Apollo and MoMA, but he was hardly exiled from the cultural establishment. The art world absorbed the scandal, issued the requisite expressions of concern, and largely moved forward with one of its most valuable collectors still inside the tent. In that sense, the Black-Epstein story was about much more than one billionaire's extraordinarily questionable judgment. It demonstrated how an industry built around opaque ownership, private transactions, tax strategy, asset-backed borrowing, billionaire philanthropy, and social exclusivity could provide the perfect environment for uncomfortable questions to remain unanswered as long as the person writing the checks remained important enough.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The Strange Tale of Leon Black and Jeffrey Epstein | Vanity Fair

Epstein became deeply involved in the machinery surrounding Black's enormous art collection, meticulously cataloguing works that were ultimately used as collateral for hundreds of millions of dollars in borrowing. Black's collection, once appraised by Christie's at roughly $2.7 billion, included extraordinary trophies such as Edvard Munch's The Scream, multiple works by Raphael, and a Picasso sculpture purchased for $125 million. Yet Black continued to portray his relationship with Epstein largely as a matter of financial expertise, insisting he had not understood the true extent of Epstein's criminality and describing himself as someone who had been misled. That explanation became much harder to swallow alongside Black's own acknowledgment that he knew about Epstein's 2008 conviction but did not regard it as sufficiently serious to stop doing business with him.The story was also an indictment of an art world that has repeatedly demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to overlook almost anything when enormous wealth, prestigious collections, and major donations are involved. Black did not merely purchase paintings; his money bought him extraordinary institutional standing, culminating in his chairmanship of the Museum of Modern Art, while his masterpieces circulated through museums that benefited from his patronage and prestige. Even after the Epstein relationship became impossible to ignore, Black remained on MoMA's board and continued appearing at major art fairs, museum dinners, galleries, sporting events, and elite cultural gatherings. That resilience illustrated one of the uglier realities of the contemporary art ecosystem: museums and cultural institutions frequently present themselves as moral authorities while remaining financially dependent upon billionaires whose money grants them astonishing insulation from ordinary reputational consequences. Black eventually surrendered leadership positions at Apollo and MoMA, but he was hardly exiled from the cultural establishment. The art world absorbed the scandal, issued the requisite expressions of concern, and largely moved forward with one of its most valuable collectors still inside the tent. In that sense, the Black-Epstein story was about much more than one billionaire's extraordinarily questionable judgment.

Leon Black's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein exposed just how deeply the worlds of high finance, elite philanthropy, and blue-chip art could overlap without much meaningful scrutiny. Black, the billionaire cofounder of Apollo Global Management and one of the most powerful private collectors in the world, paid Epstein roughly $170 million over six years for financial and tax-related services, even though Epstein had already pleaded guilty in 2008 to offenses involving a minor and was a registered sex offender throughout much of their professional relationship.

Faith in Leon Black was badly shaken once the scale of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein became public, because Black was not a distant acquaintance or a casual social contact — he had paid Epstein enormous sums after Epstein's 2008 conviction while remaining the dominant figure at Apollo Global Management. Investors, board members, employees, and clients were suddenly forced to ask how the head of one of the world's most powerful private-equity firms could have maintained such a lucrative relationship with Epstein and still claim he had no real idea who Epstein was. Apollo commissioned an outside review that found no evidence Black had been involved in Epstein's crimes or that Epstein had done business with Apollo, but the review still confirmed enough damaging facts to make Black's position unstable. The issue was no longer just reputational embarrassment; it became a question of judgment, governance, disclosure, and whether Black could still lead a major financial institution while carrying Epstein's shadow into every room.That loss of confidence helped turn Apollo's boardroom into a battleground. Black's planned transition out of the CEO role was supposed to look orderly, but the Epstein revelations intensified old rivalries inside the firm, especially between Black, Josh Harris, and Marc Rowan. Harris reportedly saw the crisis as an opening to gain influence or control, while Rowan ultimately emerged as the successor with enough board support to take over. Black, meanwhile, accused Harris of trying to exploit the Epstein scandal to push him out, while Harris denied wrongdoing and the courts later dismissed Black's racketeering claims. In the end, Epstein's relationship with Black did not just damage one billionaire's reputation; it fractured trust at Apollo, exposed power struggles among its founders, accelerated Black's exit, blocked Harris from taking command, and cleared the way for Rowan to become the face of Apollo's post-Epstein reset.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with Leon Black detonated inside Apollo Global Management because Black was not just any executive — he was Apollo's co-founder, chairman, and public face. Once it became clear that Black had paid Epstein enormous sums after Epstein's 2008 conviction, Apollo had a reputational crisis on its hands. The firm launched an independent review through its board's conflicts committee, which examined Black's relationship with Epstein and whether Apollo itself had business ties to Epstein. The review said it found no evidence that Black was involved in Epstein's criminal conduct and said Apollo had not retained Epstein, but it also confirmed that Black paid Epstein huge fees for personal tax and estate-planning advice. That confirmation was damaging enough that Black announced he would step down as Apollo CEO, and he later left the chairman role as well.The shockwave did not stop with Black's exit. Apollo had to reassure investors, clients, and partners that Epstein's relationship was with Black personally and not with the firm, while also overhauling governance and moving leadership to Marc Rowan. Years later, the issue is still haunting Apollo, with the firm again telling clients in 2026 that no one at Apollo other than Black had a business or personal relationship with Epstein, while shareholder litigation has accused Apollo and its leaders of misleading investors about the depth of Epstein-related ties. Black's Epstein relationship turned into a long-tail corporate contamination problem: it damaged Apollo's brand, forced a leadership transition, triggered legal and investor scrutiny, and left the company repeatedly trying to prove that Epstein's shadow stopped at Leon Black and did not extend into Apollo itself.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Leon Black's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein became impossible for Apollo Global Management to contain once reporting revealed that Black had paid Epstein staggering sums after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Black insisted the payments were for legitimate tax, estate, and financial-planning work, and an Apollo-commissioned review said it found no evidence that Black participated in Epstein's crimes or that Epstein did business with Apollo. But the review still confirmed the central problem: Apollo's billionaire co-founder and chief executive had maintained a massive financial relationship with Epstein long after Epstein was known publicly as a convicted sex offender. That alone shook investor confidence, damaged Apollo's reputation, and raised serious questions about Black's judgment.Black initially announced that he would step down as Apollo's CEO while remaining chairman, presenting the move as part of a leadership transition. But the pressure did not stop there. The Epstein revelations had turned Black from Apollo's greatest asset into a liability, creating reputational risk for the firm, tension inside the boardroom, and concern among clients and shareholders. Within months, Black gave up the chairman role as well, leaving Apollo's leadership and clearing the way for Marc Rowan to take over. In the end, Black was not forced out because Apollo proved he committed Epstein's crimes; he stepped down because his personal ties to Epstein became too damaging for one of the world's most powerful investment firms to keep defending.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In Part 1, Jim Voss, CEO of Tenneco, took on a company in need of a turnaround. In Part 2, he hands you the playbook behind it.This is the Tenneco Way. Not a poster on a wall. Not a slide deck someone presents once a month. It's the operating system running a 100-year-old company with more than 60,000 people across 28 countries. And as Jim puts it, it is the company's sustainable competitive advantage.Jim sees culture as the most powerful advantage a leader can build. It's the thing that drives every result you actually care about, because people drive results, and culture shapes people.From there, it builds. Simplify, kill the bureaucracy and the silos, and go hunt for friction instead of waiting for it to find you. Organizational velocity, the differentiator Jim believes will separate the winners from everyone else. Tenacious execution, because strategy gets eaten alive without it. Accountability and ownership without a shred of micromanagement. And win, treated as a mindset, not an outcome.Then Jim gets practical. How do you roll core values out to 60,000 people in 28 countries without peanut-buttering it across the wall? The Tenneco mindset and the power of humility. Why did he grow his own talent through Tenneco University and the P3 standards that went from impossible to gold? This is not the legacy playbook. This is a transformation that actually happened, told by the leader who lived it.Themes Discussed in this EpisodeWhy culture is an operating system, not a soft HR initiativeThe six gears of the Tenneco WayRadical candor and building a company where bad news travels fastRedefining failure: we never fail, we win or we learnOrganizational velocity as the next great competitive differentiatorAccountability and ownership without micromanagementThe Tenneco mindset and the power of humilityP3 standards and the pride that drives performance

US equity futures are under pressure, Asian markets are sharply lower, while European equities are also weaker. Markets are being driven by continued weakness in large-cap technology stocks and elevated volatility following the hawkish Fed stance. While progress in US-Iran talks has weighed on oil prices and provided some support to the macro backdrop, it has done little to offset risk-off sentiment tied to tech sector declines. Positioning dynamics, upcoming inflation data, and key earnings events are reinforcing a cautious tone, with geopolitical developments and rate expectations remaining central to near-term market direction.Companies Mentioned: Qualcomm, Eli Lilly, Apollo Global Management

Brad Karp, the longtime chairman of the elite Wall Street law firm Paul, Weiss, was forced to step down in early 2026 after newly released Justice Department files exposed a series of previously undisclosed interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. The documents showed that Karp had a personal relationship with Epstein that went beyond incidental contact, including attending private dinners at Epstein's residence and exchanging emails that reflected a notably friendly tone. In one instance, Karp thanked Epstein for an evening he described as “once in a lifetime,” and in another, he asked Epstein to help his son secure a role in a Woody Allen film. While Karp and his firm maintained that neither he nor Paul, Weiss ever represented Epstein professionally, the optics of those interactions—particularly given Epstein's 2008 conviction—triggered intense scrutiny.The fallout was swift and reputationally severe. Karp resigned not only from his role as chairman of Paul, Weiss after nearly two decades but also from external positions, including a college board seat, as the controversy widened. Additional disclosures suggested that his interactions with Epstein intersected with his professional orbit, particularly through his representation of Apollo Global Management and its co-founder Leon Black, a key Epstein associate. Emails also indicated that Karp at times engaged with Epstein on legal and strategic matters involving high-profile individuals, further blurring the line between personal and professional contact. Even though Karp expressed regret and framed the relationship as limited, the broader reaction reflected a growing intolerance for any post-conviction association with Epstein, especially among powerful institutional figures whose judgment is expected to be beyond reproach.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.ft.com/content/064e81a5-5e1b-4364-a581-9062868a3735?syn-25a6b1a6=1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Episode Overview:In this episode of The World According to Boyar, Jonathan Boyar speaks with Lina Tetelbaum, a corporate partner at Wachtell Lipton, one of the world's most influential corporate law firms, where she heads the firm's shareholder engagement and activism defense practice.Lina takes us inside the world of shareholder activism — how activists choose targets, the small universe of ideas they typically push, how companies and boards respond, and why so many activist campaigns ultimately end in settlements rather than full proxy fights.We discuss the tension between the changes activists typically call for and long-term business strategy, the role of index funds and proxy advisors, how activists build positions, what really happens behind the scenes in settlement negotiations, and why even controlled companies are not completely immune from activist pressure.Lina also shares her perspective on Wachtell Lipton's history in takeover defense and activism, from the era of the poison pill to today's more complex battles between boards, activists, institutional investors, and other stakeholders.Topics discussed include: shareholder activism, proxy fights, activist settlements, board governance, index funds, ISS and Glass Lewis, activist nominees, controlled companies, capital allocation, M&A, and long-term value creation.To receive more of Boyar's research, interviews, and thoughts on investing, subscribe to our Substack at boyarresearch.substack.comAbout Lina Tetelbaum:Elina (Lina) Tetelbaum is a Corporate Partner and Head of Shareholder Engagement and Activism Defense at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.  Lina regularly counsels on proxy fights, takeover defense, corporate governance, crisis management and mergers and acquisitions.

In 1990, Marc Rowan walked out of Drexel with his belongings in a cardboard box. Within a year, Apollo was managing $6 billion. David Haber speaks with Marc Rowan, Cofounder, CEO, and Chair of Apollo Global Management, about building Apollo into one of the world's largest alternative asset managers and how private capital is reshaping the global economy. The conversation covers the rise of private credit, and why Rowan believes private markets are becoming increasingly central to financing the real economy. They also discuss AI, data centers, robotics, and the growing intersection between venture-backed technology companies and large-scale private financing. Along the way, they reflect on leadership, institutional culture, and why enduring organizations must adapt rather than protect the status quo.   Resources: Follow David Haber on X: https://x.com/dhaber Learn more about Apollo Global Management: https://www.apollo.com Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

A new lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court accuses billionaire investor Leon Black — co-founder of Apollo Global Management — of conspiring with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and former law firm chairman Brad Karp to target, intimidate, and “silence and destroy” women who accused Black of sexual abuse. According to the suit by Wigdor LLP, internal emails from the recent Department of Justice release show Epstein and Karp discussing tactics to retaliate against Russian model Guzel Ganieva, including strategies to have her arrested, deported, or have her visa revoked, as well as surveilling her movements and license plates. The complaint portrays the three men as coordinating efforts to undermine and discredit accusers rather than address the allegations on their merits.The lawsuit also highlights Black's history of filing counterclaims against his accusers' legal teams, alleging malicious prosecution and defamation — all of which were dismissed — and asserts that Black misused the legal system to intimidate and suppress women seeking accountability. Black's attorney called the claims meritless, and neither Karp nor representatives for the law firm Wigdor provided comment. The filing follows previous civil actions by women alleging sexual misconduct by Black, some of which were withdrawn or dismissed, and adds new allegations that Black's legal and personal strategy included coordinated retaliation with Epstein's involvement.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Leon Black colluded with Jeffery Epstein, Brad Karp to attack accusersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode, Scott Becker highlights sharp year to date declines across major firms like Blackstone, KKR, Apollo Global Management, and Ares Management.

Here they come again. Every couple of decades another infestation of smiling, winking, fast-talking, corporate hucksters descends on rural America.The scammers have varied from Big Oil's notorious land men to peddlers of private prisons. But this one is the biggest, most important flimflam yet, with Silicon Valley billionaires and Wall Street speculators rushing through the countryside buying up vast tracts of land.Why? Because Amazon, Google, Meta, and dozens of other tech profiteers are converting their corporations into Artificial Intelligence robotic empires, and each AI facility is absolutely humongous, requiring airport-size swaths of land.Acreage is the least of it though, for the data centers consume Niagara Falls-levels of water. So local families, farms, factories, and businesses suddenly find their essential water supply being raided by faraway corporate water suckers.Also, local utility bills skyrocket as profiteers drain enormous amounts of electric power from the area's grid. Worse, corporate lobbyists squeeze local officials to subsidize this thievery! For example, a private equity predator named Apollo Global Management recently fleeced a New York county for $1.4 billion in “job-creation” subsidies for a sprawling data center that will – get this – employ only 125 people. Yes, that's $11 million per job – with actual workers only getting a pittance of it.You don't need a big schnoz to smell this stink. The good news is that county officials across the country are beginning to say “NO” to AI's money grab. Also, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have proposed a national moratorium on this corporate frenzy to impose an AI future that We the People do not want.
