I just can’t understand and wrap my head around how Leon Black continues to get away with violently raping and beating up innocent young girls.

EFTA00080260 - more than the single transaction; Black had a sizable hedge fund op going. There are docs which suggest he was involved in trafficking too.

With the help of Paul Weiss its hard to unravel

Nobody talks about Paul Weiss or Brad Karp. Why is that?

Madeleine Sinor's avatar

Because some of that money went to putin and to prevent the outing of evidence-of Leons humane atrocities

Thanks, Vicky and Bill, you cornered each other with great information.

158 M wasn’t a fee. It was splitting the saving some illegal tax scheme provided

Hena's avatar

That’s what the Dechert report says but the Dechert report is a fraud unfortunately. It was way more than $158M!

Glad you caught this. I should have known you already knew about Cohan.

Wow Vicky. You held your ground & more ! He will probably come up with all manner of excuses when you invite him to your podcast again ! This is why you are my favorite investigative journalist of all time. I love JKB & am so glad she has seen as the top investigator of JE, but I think you deserve a Nobel also just for going through your personal FACE TO FACE experience of being threatened by the classic A-hole. Everyone who hasn't seen or read about what you went through should check it out. I still feel sad & angry when I remember what you went through.... & proud for how you recovered & rose above it. Love your podcasts with your son, your books & ALL of your podcasts. Thank you for being there & for keeping your jaws locked on the JE bone as you juggle other admirable pursuits .

So well said and glad you put in there about the harassment that jerk JE did to her. I felt Bill was patronising to Vicky because he must have known about her experience and still made that asinine comment about guilt by association. Yuck. So glad Vicky told him times are changing.

Vicky 🙌🤩 this interview made me understand just how great an investigative reporter you are! I’m afraid Bill lost me a wee bit (🙄) proclaiming these poor (haha) wealthy men (well and Kathy Rummelar…not sure of sp.) get dragged down just by knowing Epstein. To include the former prince in such a list is to utterly deny the information given by Virginia Giuffre, and whatever other information was available to the crown to strip him of his title. With his statement, Bill shows how unless they are doing it on the front lawn with a drone flying over to capture it, all of it is plausible deniability. I do hope you are correct about times a changin with us regular plebes insisting more accountability and returns to us.

I thought Leon Black paid Jeffrey Epstein to help create NDAs related to Black’s relationship with Guzel Ganieva and Marc Rowan’s relationship with Holly Goodrich.

Vicky, you look great and I love your programs! So ask him about Skip!

Why would a Catogan Tate Art Storage Truck be at a Residence Inn in Santa Fe during COVID? Why would Keystone Pilots be at the same location? There were domestic violence victims there, and OTHER people. Why would Esperanza Shelter say they are “accountable to the DONORS.”

Keystone Aviation.

Brian Vickers, Sarah Kellen: Vickers married Sarah Kellen (also known as Sarah Kensington), who was Epstein’s longtime scheduler and was named an unindicted co-conspirator in Epstein’s 2008 Florida non-prosecution agreement.

Requiro Terra LLC (often spelled Requiro Terra, LLC) is a Florida limited liability company formed in 2009 (Florida file L09000093464) and registered as a foreign LLC in New York in 2010. It used 329 Seabreeze Avenue, Palm Beach, FL 33480 as its principal address, with Ernest Bourne as registered agent and Brian Vickers listed as manager. It was voluntarily dissolved in March 2023.

This came up under Keystone.

Bill Cohan is one of the very few journalists with the courage to investigate and report on Leon Black objectively, without preconceived conclusions affecting his judgment. The three big Epstein-related lawsuits individual plaintiffs brought against Black alleging sex abuse were all brought by the same law firm (Wigdor). All three lawsuits have now turned out to be bogus. In the most recent case, both the plaintiff and her Wigdor lawyer were sanctioned (by a liberal black judge) for falsifying evidence and lying to the court. The judge found that the plaintiff's Wigdor lawyer, Jeanne Christensen, lied to the court "repeatedly."

Don't get me wrong. Leon Black is, from what I can tell, a despicable person. He probably knew about or suspected, but ignored, Epstein's abuse of minor girls. However, so far all the Epstein-related lawsuit alleging Black himself abused women have turned out to be without merit.

False claims undermine the credibility of real Epstein victims because when the falsity is exposed, it gives ammunition to people like Trump to claim it is all a hoax. Genuine victims of Epstein's abuse have stated that false claims make them feel re-victimized. Those who care about Epstein's many true victims should be careful not to fall for the sensationalistic false claims of those who are not victims, but are only looking for a payday.

she extorted him? fuck this asshole!

Pamela's avatar

Sorry, but I had a hard time with his time with Leon Black. Leon is good at dodging all questions - did he really believe everything he told him? I had to cut this short.
