Billionaire Leon Black's shocking exit from his executive roles at Apollo Global Management last month came just days after several directors at the private-equity firm learned of sexual assault allegations against him.
An independent review by Dechert revealed that Black had paid late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein $158 million for advice on tax and estate planning and related services between 2012 and 2017. He even lent the disgraced pedophile $30million after his conviction, the New York Times reports.
When announcing his departure, Black cited his wife's ailing health as his own health for motivation behind the decision. The allegations, first posted on Twitter and seen by at least four board members, weren't mentioned in the decision, the New York Post reports.
On March 17, former model Güzel Ganieva took to the social media platform to allege that she was sexually harassed and abused by the billionaire for years.
'Although I am a private person, in light of the recent media coverage, I think I have an obligation to make a statement regarding Apollo Global Management's CEO and Chairman, Leon Black. I was sexually harassed and abused by him for years,' she said in the post, that did not gain much traction on Twitter.
Ganieva - who emigrated to the U.S. from Russia - added that the behavior started in 2008 when she met with him to 'discuss work.' She was 25 at the time.

You do not pay almost $200 mil for a Will and Trust, which this guy already had.
Gets a billion dollars but needs to pay Epstein millions for more advice?
“pay Epstein millions for more advice?”
Hush money.
Epstein evidently failed to give him all the “right” advice about how to do all this successfully
Among those executives was Vail Resorts’ current CEO, Rob Katz. “Leon Black’s Apollo Global Management had assigned a young executive, Rob Katz, to the Vail account in 1992, and he had been intimately involved in the company’s significant moves, including the purchases of Breckenridge, Keystone, and also Heavenly, and the RockResorts ...
His advice was “If they catch you, don’t kill yourself.”
Still waiting for someone to confirm that SCOTUS judge John Roberts was on the flights to Epstein’s island.
Another one blackmailed via video tapes produced on Pedo Island or Pedo Flight services.
Black’s wife made the donation.

EXCERPT The mystery surrounding the death at sea of Robert Maxwell——found floating nude near his yacht——deepened with the revelation that British press magnate Maxwell-—Ghislaine’s father——had looted his employees` pension funds and that at least $900 million in pension and other money-——probably even more-——has vanished.
Some conjecture that Maxwell’s wealth was funneled through Mossad (Israeli intelligence).
Maxwell was given a lavish funeral in Israel, attended by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, Israeli President Chaim Herzog, “no less than six serving and former heads of Mossad, Israeli intelligence” and many dignitaries and politicians (both government and opposition).
Maxwell received one of Israel’s highest honors——accorded only to those who are most cherished by the Jewish state.......a burial site on the sacred Mount of Olives.
