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)

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

Brookfield Corporation zählt zu den größten alternativen Vermögensverwaltern der Welt mit einem verwalteten Vermögen von über einer Billion US-Dollar und Beteiligungen an Infrastruktur, Immobilien, Private Equity und Erneuerbaren Energien. Geführt wird das Unternehmen seit über zwei Jahrzehnten von CEO Bruce Flatt, der in der Finanzwelt als der „kanadische Warren Buffett“ gilt. Diese Analyse zeigt, wie sich Brookfield über Jahrzehnte hinweg zu einer globalen Finanzmacht entwickelt hat – und warum das Geschäftsmodell oft nur schwer zu durchschauen ist. Im Zentrum steht eine komplexe Holdingstruktur mit börsennotierten Tochtergesellschaften, langfristigen Investmentzyklen und einem klaren Fokus auf Kapitalreinvestition statt hoher Dividenden. Im Vergleich mit Konkurrenten wie Blackstone, KKR oder Apollo Global Management wirkt Brookfield zurückhaltender – und doch ist das Unternehmen operativ höchst aktiv, mit Investitionen in Milliardenhöhe auf allen Kontinenten. Die Frage ist: Wie nachhaltig ist dieses Wachstum? Und bietet die Aktie nach dem jüngsten Anstieg auf Allzeithochs noch Chancen?

Trucking and logistics company Forward Air is on the verge of a potential acquisition, with several private equity firms, including Clearlake Capital and Apollo Global Management, submitting bids, causing its shares to surge 10%. This interest follows intense pressure from activist investors after the company's heavily contested merger with Omni Logistics, which shareholders criticized for its structure and the large debt burden it placed on Forward. In maritime news, a historic order has been placed for a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessel to be built at a Philadelphia shipyard, marking the first of its kind in the U.S. in nearly 50 years. This joint-build project by Hanwha Ocean and Hanwha Philly Shipyard aims to comply with new rules proposed by the United States Trade Representative, which are designed to counter China's dominance in shipping and shipbuilding by requiring a percentage of U.S. LNG exports to be transported on U.S.-flagged and crewed vessels. On the railroad front, CSX reported a decline in its second-quarter profits, with operating income falling 11% and revenue decreasing 3%. Despite these financial setbacks, executives expressed encouragement regarding the railroad's operational recovery during the quarter, highlighting improvements in on-time performance. CSX anticipates overall volume growth for the year, driven by numerous industrial development projects becoming operational and the ongoing conversion of freight from highway to intermodal transport.

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)

S&P futures are pointing to a slightly higher open today, up +0.1%. Asian markets had a mixed session on Thursday. The Hang Seng dropped (0.6%) amidst weakness in property stocks while Japan's Nikkei dipped as uncertainty around trade talks weighed on sentiment. European markets are broadly higher in early trades, with the STOXX 600 up +0.3% and the FTSE 100 leading at +0.5%. President Trump announced a trade deal with Vietnam, imposing a 20% tariff on exports to the U.S. and 40% on transshipments, reduced from an earlier proposed 46%. The U.S. will face zero tariffs on exports to Vietnam, though specifics on product groups and transshipment provisions remain unclear.

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. So he's a Wall Street guy like me and, I think, qualified to voice an opinion on this questions which we may not ask enough. Enjoy!
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 more, we hear from Matthew Michelini, Partner and Head of Asia-Pacific at Apollo Global Management.

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.

Alonso Munoz says his firm has been buying into the recent correction and remains a fan of Big Tech. He explains how investors have been "ripping off the band-aid" and opening doors to new opportunities. On his stock picks, Alonso labels Alphabet (GOOGL) as "cheap" due to its A.I. exposure and diversified businesses. He later explains Apollo Global Management's (APO) role in the alternative asset "gold rush," and how Tesla's (TSLA) can drive back to all-time highs with its robotaxi.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

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.

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.

Source www.dutchnews.nl Trump Trade War Update: Firm Predicts 'Empty Shelves' And Recession By June Apollo Global Management Chief Economist Torsten Slok on Sunday released a report outlining the timeline for Trump's tariffs to result in empty shelves, layoffs in the trucking and retail sector and a recession this summer. 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. Source: ibd.com White House says Trump would veto effort to eliminate 'Liberation Day' tariffs The Trump administration issued a formal veto threat Monday morning regarding a bipartisan resolution that would terminate the president's emergency powers underpinning his sweeping global tariffs. 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. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said the president would veto the resolution in the event the resolution makes it to his desk, according to a statement of administration policy exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

En el Radar de hoy vemos uno de los bombazos deportivos de la temporada: Bill Chisholm, socio gerente de Symphony Technology Group, se hace con la franquicia verde por 6100 millones de dólares. Para entender la magnitud de esta venta, es la operación deportiva más costosa de la historia. Supera por 50 millones a la compra de Washington Commanders de la NFL hecha por el co-fundador de la firma de capital privado Apollo Global Management. Dentro de la NBA, son dos mil millones de dólares más que las adquisiciones que se hicieron en 2023, con las ventas de las franquicias Phoenix Suns y Dallas Mavericks. ¿Cuáles son los planes para los próximos años? El negocio es redondo para el que era hasta la semana pasada el dueño de los Celtics: Wyc Grousbeck compró el equipo en 2002 por solo 360 millones. Grousbeck supo aprovechar el mal momento que atravesaba Boston, ya que la franquicia llevaba sin levantar el anillo desde 1986. Además, con la retirada de Larry Bird y de otros jugadores capitales de los ochenta como Kevin McHale, Robert Parish o Dennis Johnson, los Celtics deambularon sin rumbo durante la década de los noventa, sin mucha suerte en el draft. ¿Qué piensa Grousbeck del nuevo dueño? ¿Y qué hay de la plantilla? Ya se sabe que estas decisiones pueden generar malestar en los equipos. Ya ha quedado claro que es un gran fan de la ciudad y del equipo pero a nadie se le escapa que la NBA vive el momento más boyante de su historia. De hecho, Adam Silver, comisionado de la liga, llegó a un acuerdo con la NBC-Comcas, Amazon Prime Video y Disney para la emisión de partidos en los próximos once años. La NBA recibirá de los tres 76.000 millones de dólares. Todos quieren un trozo de la tarta y parecen que no son conscientes de la bajada de audiencia que ha tenido la liga: las finales del año pasado las vieron 11 millones de espectadores, un 3% menos que el año anterior. Además, el comisionado sigue dándole vueltas al tema del All Star. La expectación con el partido de las estrellas es cada vez menor: en 2025 vieron el partido fue 4,7 millones de espectadores, la segunda peor audiencia de la historia. Los Boston Celtics aterrizaron en la NBA en el año 1946 pero no es hasta la década de los cincuenta cuando la franquicia empieza a hacerse un nombre con la llegada del entrenador y posterior ejecutivo Red Auerbach. En el año 56 draftea al que puede ser seguramente el jugador más influyente de la historia del equipo: Bill Russel, que junto a otros jugadores como Cousy, Havlicek o Sam y K.C Jones ganaron ocho anillos consecutivos, once desde el 57 hasta el 69.

This Day in Legal History: National Referendum on ApartheidOn March 17, 1992, South Africa took a decisive step toward dismantling apartheid through a historic national referendum. White South African voters were asked whether they supported the government's efforts to end apartheid and negotiate a new, democratic constitution. An overwhelming 68.7% voted in favor, signaling broad support for ending over four decades of racial segregation. This referendum provided then-President F.W. de Klerk with the political mandate to continue negotiations with the African National Congress (ANC) and other groups. The result was a major victory for the anti-apartheid movement, which had long fought against the country's system of institutionalized racial oppression.The referendum was limited to white voters, who had historically benefited from apartheid, making their approval a crucial moment in South African history. It paved the way for the country's first multiracial elections in 1994, in which Nelson Mandela was elected president. With this, South Africa officially transitioned from an apartheid state to a democracy, enshrining equal rights for all citizens. The vote also marked the beginning of legal reforms that led to the adoption of a new constitution in 1996. While the end of apartheid did not immediately erase economic and social inequalities, the referendum remains a defining moment in the country's legal and political history. It demonstrated that legal systems, even when designed to uphold injustice, can be reformed through democratic means.A federal judge ruled that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) must reinstate probationary employees it had recently terminated. As a result, the agency is bringing back those workers, along with most term employees, and providing them with back pay. However, term employees with more than two years of service were not reinstated. The CFPB had initially fired 70 enforcement attorneys and up to 100 other employees after acting Director Russell Vought took over in February. The judge's decision is part of a broader legal battle over federal workforce reductions, with similar rulings affecting multiple agencies. Despite this setback, the Trump administration remains committed to deep staffing cuts across federal agencies, with reduction plans already submitted to the Office of Personnel Management. The firings had faced opposition from the National Treasury Employees Union, which reached an agreement with the CFPB to pause additional terminations while another court considers an injunction. The reinstatement process has been messy, with workers unsure of their status and vendor contracts disrupted. However, legally mandated CFPB functions, such as consumer response, are being prioritized for restoration.CFPB Brings Back Probationary Employees After Judge's RulingTrump has escalated his attacks on major law firms, this time targeting Paul Weiss, a firm known for representing top financial institutions and engaging in high-profile pro bono work. His executive order directs federal agencies to cut ties with companies that are Paul Weiss clients and suspend the firm's lawyers' security clearances. The move follows similar actions against Perkins Coie and Covington & Burling. Paul Weiss has deep ties to Wall Street, with clients including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Apollo Global Management. Some of these corporate leaders have criticized Trump's tariff policies, potentially influencing his decision to go after the firm.Trump's order highlights Paul Weiss's past work, including its involvement in a lawsuit against the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers over the January 6 Capitol riot. The firm has a long history of civil rights advocacy, from Brown v. Board of Education to LGBTQ+ and voting rights cases. Critics argue Trump's actions are politically motivated, targeting firms with Democratic connections while ignoring their bipartisan donor base. A federal judge previously blocked a similar order against Perkins Coie, and Paul Weiss is expected to mount a strong legal challenge. However, even if the order is overturned, the chilling effect is real—firms risk losing business from clients wary of crossing Trump. Some industry experts believe this could push law firms to unite against political interference, but whether collective action emerges remains uncertain.Trump Fights Paul Weiss as Wall Street Seeks President's EarTrump targets law firm Paul Weiss in order restricting government access | ReutersThe Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelan migrants despite a federal judge's order blocking the move. The deportations targeted alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang, whom the administration labeled as “terrorists.” The White House dismissed the court's authority, arguing that a single judge could not override the president's powers on immigration and national security. Judge James Boasberg had ruled that Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to justify the deportations was unlawful, as the law applies only to conflicts “commensurate to war.” Despite this, flights carrying the migrants landed in El Salvador, where President Nayib Bukele publicly mocked the judge's ruling and confirmed the men were being imprisoned.Legal experts, including the ACLU, argue the administration is in open defiance of the court and may have violated constitutional checks and balances. The White House claimed that some migrants had already been deported before the judge's order, but it remains unclear if others were removed afterward. Critics see this as an unprecedented challenge to judicial authority, while Trump defended the deportations, calling the migrants "bad people" and insisting the situation amounted to war. The legal battle over these actions is expected to continue, with calls for the U.S. government to reverse any unlawful removals.Trump administration deports Venezuelans despite court order, says judge has no authorityThe White House is taking an unprecedented role in overseeing the sale of TikTok's U.S. operations, with Vice President JD Vance leading the process. Instead of a traditional investment bank managing the auction, Vance's legal team is directly engaging with bidders and advising on their offers. President Trump has emphasized his control over the sale, claiming multiple groups are interested, while also suggesting the U.S. government could take a 50% stake in TikTok's American assets.The sale process is highly unusual, lacking a defined valuation or clear asset structure, and ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, has shown minimal engagement. Potential buyers, including investors like Frank McCourt and Kevin O'Leary, face an April 5 deadline to reach a deal. However, Beijing's involvement and the possibility that ByteDance could simply shut down TikTok in the U.S. add further uncertainty.While the U.S. government has previously intervened in corporate deals for national security or economic stability reasons, experts question whether TikTok meets such criteria. Trump, who initially sought to ban TikTok, has since acknowledged its role in helping him gain young voters. The app's sale price remains uncertain, largely depending on whether its valuable recommendation algorithm is included. With intense competition among bidders and political interests shaping the process, the outcome remains unpredictable.The White House's unusual role as dealmaker in TikTok sale | ReutersIn a piece I wrote for Forbes this weekend, I lay out what I reckon is the Trump administration's plan to dismantle Social Security and Medicare. The Trump administration's proposal to eliminate taxes for individuals earning under $150,000 sounds appealing at first but carries severe consequences. Social Security and Medicare rely heavily on payroll taxes, which most workers in this income range pay more than income taxes. If these taxes are removed, the programs will be starved of funding, leading to either massive deficit spending, extreme benefit cuts, or a shift to regressive taxes like sales taxes. The proposal, combined with extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), would disproportionately benefit the wealthy while leaving the middle class to shoulder the remaining tax burden. The TCJA already made corporate tax cuts permanent while setting individual cuts to expire by 2025, favoring the rich. If this new plan moves forward, those earning just above $150,000 could become the last major tax-paying bracket, while state and local taxes would likely rise to compensate. The ultra-wealthy, who benefited the most from previous tax cuts, are unlikely to pick up the slack. Rather than a tax break for workers, the proposal appears to be a backdoor attempt to dismantle entitlement programs. If no one is paying in, no one gets benefits out—a reality Trump's allies don't want to admit.Trump Administration's No Taxes Under $150k Proposal Is A Disaster This is a public episode.

Jeffrey Epstein maintained a close professional relationship with Leon Black, co-founder of Apollo Global Management, from 2012 to 2017. During this period, Black paid Epstein approximately $158 million for financial services, including estate planning and tax advice. An independent review by the law firm Dechert LLP revealed that Epstein's strategies potentially saved Black at least $1.3 billion. Despite Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution, Black continued their association, citing Epstein's expertise in complex financial matters.The extent of Epstein's access to Black has been a focal point of scrutiny. Reports indicate that Epstein had significant influence over Black's personal financial decisions, leading to questions about the appropriateness of their relationship. In response to growing concerns, Black requested Apollo's board to conduct an independent review of his ties with Epstein, which ultimately led to his resignation as CEO in early 2021. This case underscores the complexities and potential risks of maintaining professional relationships with individuals of questionable repute.(commercial at 11:33)To contact me :Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.crainsnewyork.com/finance/epstein-had-door-apollo-his-deep-ties-black
