Even though Glaine 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,559 said it was best to take me home because mister 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,280 Black is so important for some reason over my health. 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,240 There is going to be hell to pay. I ruin 11 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,560 their trip and I am dramatic, And what the fuck 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,359 that fat fuck bit me?

No one is that important? 15 00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:52,679 And Leon can go fuck himself. I hate New York. 16 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,240 In a journal entry after the above one, plaintiff wrote 17 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,039 Leon Black next to a poem she cut and pasted 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,320 into the notebook, having underlined the words in the poems 19 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,719 such as fatso and millionaire. Plaintiff was trafficked by Elizabeth 20 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,239 and others to many other men, both before and after Black. 21 00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:13,799 The violent and stadistic nature of Black's rape left an 22 00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:19,079 indelible mark honor both physically and psychologically. Plaintiff suffered internal 23 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,280 abrasions in a rectum that continue to cause her pain 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,439 to this day. Plaintiff often is triggered each month at 25 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,840 the beginning of her menstrual cycle, as the sight of 26 00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:32,760 blood from her body causes Plaintiff to suffer from panic attacks, 27 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,359 reliving the attack that she endured by Black's hands. Six 28 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,840 Black's other victims through Epstein upon information and belief, Plaintiff 29 00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:45,959 is not the only female who Epstein and Black sexually violated. 30 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,120 For example, on March thirteenth, twenty twenty three, in the 31 00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:53,359 matter of Jane Doe One versus Deutsche Bank Index number 32 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,840 twenty two CIV one zero zero one to eight JSR 33 00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:00,640 Southern District of New York, the District Court heard oral 34 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,000 arguments on the defendant's motion to dismiss. As part of 35 00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:07,359 Jane Doe One's claims, she alleged that there came a 36 00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:10,479 time when Epstein forced Jane do One to give massages 37 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,879 to his powerful friends. During some of these massages, Jane 38 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,719 do One was sexually abused by force and against her 39 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,080 will by Epstein's friends, by whom she had been required 40 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,400 to do massage. Deutsche Bank introduced a release agreement between 41 00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:27,639 Jane do One and Epstein in support of its motion 42 00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:31,319 to dismiss. This release included a carve out of Jane 43 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,599 do One's claims against Black, as well as other individuals 44 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,159 James jess Staley, a former banker who Black introduced to 45 00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:42,520 Epstein in or around two thousand. At oral argument, the 46 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,759 portion of the release were read into the record, including 47 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,439 in the relevant part that while the parties do not 48 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,319 believe there is any reasonable interpretation that this general release 49 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,919 could be construed to release James jess Daley, Leon Black, 50 00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:02,240 or their respective entity affiliations. For clarity, this general Release 51 00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:06,240 and Settlement Agreement specifically does not include James jess Daley, 52 00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:09,960 Leon Black, or any other company or entity which either 53 00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:13,680 is or was beneficially owned or controlled by James Staley 54 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,759 or Leon Black as a release or release party under 55 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,840 this general Release and Settlement Agreement. Of course, if Black 56 00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:25,479 had not engaged in sexual misconduct or other tortious claims 57 00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:28,240 against Jane do One, there would have been no reason 58 00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:32,840 to include them in the carve out along with Jess Staley. Additionally, 59 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,840 beginning in August twenty nineteen, the US Virgin Islands conducted 60 00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:42,039 extensive investigations into Epstein's sex trafficking activities, culminating in a 61 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,759 lawsuit against Epstein's estate. That lawsuit was settled between the 62 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,319 Office of the Attorney General for the USVII and Epstein's 63 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,120 estate in December of twenty twenty two for over one 64 00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:58,000 hundred million. As part of the usvii's investigation into Abstein, 65 00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:01,280 in August of twenty twenty, Black was served with subpoenas 66 00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:06,680 from the USVII. The subpoenas to Black sought extensive financial 67 00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:11,280 documents and tax information relating to Epstein and entities controlled 68 00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:15,240 by Epstein, including Southern Trust, the entity Epstein used to 69 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,279 operate in Little Saint James. In September of twenty twenty, 70 00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:24,000 the NYT New York Times disclosed that Black had deposited 71 00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:26,920 one hundred and fifty eight million in Southern Trust account 72 00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:32,439 between twenty thirteen and twenty seventeen. Thereafter, Black came under 73 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,639 intense scrutiny from Wall Street contingencies and other interested parties, 74 00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:40,120 and then October of twenty twenty to help protect Black's reputation. 75 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,480 Deckert LLP was retained to investigate Epstein's ties to Black 76 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,639 and to Apollo. Following Deckerd's private investigation, it wrote a 77 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,120 report that it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 78 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,959 The Decker report revealed that Black claimed he paid Epstein 79 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,759 one hundred and fifty eight million to Epstein, who possessed 80 00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:03,160 neither or a college degree nor any advanced degrees related 81 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,800 to tax advisement or a state planning for the overall 82 00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:10,199 value he believed Epstein was providing to him through Epstein's 83 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,519 advice on trust in estate planning, tax issues, philanthropic issues, 84 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,800 and the operation of Black's family wealth management office. According 85 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,160 to the Decorate report, Epstein offered his most valuable piece 86 00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:26,199 of work to Black in twenty twelve, which was advice 87 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,360 related to Black's grant or retained annuity trust that reportedly 88 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:32,800 saved Black as much as one billion or more and 89 00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:36,680 tax liabilities. Black has never explained why Epstein performed this 90 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,639 grat work other than Paul Wise when the firm provided 91 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,800 legal work for Apollo and Black for decades and several 92 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,120 Paul Wise partners are considered our nation's top leading tax 93 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,680 and estate planning lawyers. On July twenty first, twenty twenty three, 94 00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:54,639 The New York Times reported that Black agreed to pay 95 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,040 the US Virgin Island's Office of the Attorney General sixty 96 00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:00,920 two and a half million in order to avoid possible 97 00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:05,680 claims stemming from his relationship with Epstein. Black entered into 98 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,839 the settlement agreement with the USVII on January twentieth, twenty 99 00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:13,759 twenty three. Following mediation, According to The New York Times, 100 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,279 some victims of mister Epstein who had received settlements directly 101 00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:21,000 from his estate were granted permission by the estate's executors 102 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,000 to pursue claims against a handful of men who had 103 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,240 socialized with mister Epstein. According to a person with knowledge 104 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,959 of the matter, mister Black was one of those men. 105 00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:34,160 Based on the above, it's clear that Miss Doe is 106 00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:38,000 not the only victim of both Epstein and Black.
