Black Regrets Epstein Payments

Billionaire Leon Black faced intense scrutiny before Congress, admitting he paid Epstein $158 million over years but claimed he believed Epstein was offering legitimate financial services — not trafficking. Black, who stepped down from Apollo in 2021, now regrets giving Epstein a second chance and insists he never engaged in or funded sex trafficking. Documents show payments began after Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea, and Black denies any blackmail or involvement in exploiting women — calling recent claims speculation. As the probe widens, Black referenced high-profile names like Musk and Gates, who also testified about their regret over meeting Epstein.
