During his brief appearance on Friday, Black reportedly told the committee he had paid Epstein $158m (£120m) for legitimate purposes over the course of their years-long association.
That amount was the subject of a Senate investigation into whether Black had intentionally overpaid Epstein, cloaking money paid for personal reasons in the guise of financial services.
Black’s attorneys have pointed out that an internal investigation at Apollo by the Dechert law firm concluded the fees that Black paid to Epstein were for legitimate tax advice.
Suuuuuuure, “legitimate tax advice” he needed from the most prolific serial child rapist in recent memory. Suuuure, he needed a whole $158 million dollars worth of “legitimate tax advice.” Suuuuuure you did, buddy.
Black had a six-year affair with a former Russian model, Guzel Ganieva, which ended in allegations of abuse, according to court records.
Black himself has previously said he was the victim of extortion.
Gee I wonder what the billionaire friend of a serial child rapist could ever have been extorted over! GEEEEEE, WHAT A CONUNDRUM

This pedo needs to lose everything and spend his life in jail.
spend
A judge ultimately dismissed Ganieva’s lawsuit, citing the NDA she signed and about $9m that she had received in the years after entering the agreement.
What the 🤬 is wrong with that judge? Duress, coercion invalidate contracts.
“I knew Jekyll. I didn’t know Hyde,” he said in his opening statement, a copy of which his lawyer shared with the BBC.
Black continued: "With the benefit of hindsight, I now know, as does the world, that Epstein was engaged in horrific, sordid activities. I feel terrible for Epstein’s victims.
“I want to state clearly that I did not know about this nefarious activity until Epstein was charged with trafficking in July 2019.”
He must think we’re all pretty stupid. Epstein was first arrested in 2006, and his sweetheart deal was a huge story. He also has the resources to know this kind of thing, being a billionaire and all.
At least they didn’t do something serious, like touching the reflecting pool
Or carrying pamphlets. The horror.
Or printing zines. Or wearing black clothes.
Or do something as treasonous as reminding our military they have responsibilities to the constitution and American people over Trump.
Grab’em by the hearing.
Because, when you’re a billionaire, they let you just walk out of a hearing about a kiddy rape island when you don’t like the questions they ask you
I mean. It’s not like he threw a sandwich or played a song near the National Guard or touched a reflecting pool or anything.
Did you even read the text below the title here?
This was voluntary. He was immediately issued a subpoena.
Typically in the US you’re not supposed to arrest someone until you have enough evidence to charge them with a crime. You generally want to have your shit together before that arrest.
He’s a billionaire. Of course he’s guilty. Should go straight to the chopping block, really.
That is definitely not how arresting typically works in the US. But that does depend on the crime being committed. That order is probably largely true for white collar crime. Definitely not the order for blue collar crime though. You get arrested then they gather evidence.
Typically, in the US, you can be held for questioning before you’re arrested.
Unless you’re rich
There’s a reason “Am I being detained?” is a powerful question that is taught in training for talking to cops.
Parleley, parlelellyleloooo, par le nee, partner, par, parsley…
Rich people don’t have to ask that question. They have lawyers for that.
You keep acting like rich people get treated the same as everyone else in this country. That’s a silly delusion.
Both are valid points for separate arguments
I see your point, but his lawyer could have easily informed the billionaire during or prior, that he could leave at any time (since it was voluntary at that point). No need to ask, as the good lawyer would be ready to explain if stopped.
Rules for thee
