Leon Black Admits He Knew About Epstein's 2006 Pedophilia Investigation
Julian Dorey Daily
The SHOCKING Epstein Details Congress EXPOSED on Leon Black | Julian Dorey
What was said
"I took it seriously, he told me, which is a direct admission that he was fully aware of this back during the time of the investigation. But I didn't take it that seriously. He was with a 17-year-old prostitute, got prosecuted for it, got put away for a year. My feeling is there are serious things and there are things that are less serious. I didn't think this was the end of the world, frankly."
In a Puck News interview, billionaire Leon Black admitted he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein's 2006 pedophilia investigation and conviction but dismissed it as not serious. Black continued his financial relationship with Epstein for years after, eventually paying him $158 million in fees. This contradicts his previous claims of ignorance about Epstein's criminal activities.
