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
