Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
In this episode, we're going to pick right up where
we left off with the Leon Black lawsuit that was
filed by the girl with autism as set fourth above.
Black's assault of her is detailed by plaintiff in her
contemporaneously kept notebooks. Walk down Madison Avenue to seventy first Street.
My redacted is lost or fucking mind? Even though Glaine
said it was best to take me home because mister
Black is so important for some reason over my health.
There is going to be hell to pay. I ruin
their trip and I am dramatic, And what the fuck
that fat fuck bit me? He threw me on the
floor and blood all over Jeffrey's carpet. And on the issue,
who the fuck bites someone sick? No one is that important?
And Leon can go fuck himself. I hate New York.
In a journal entry after the above one, plaintiff wrote
Leon Black next to a poem she cut and pasted
into the notebook, having underlined the words in the poems
such as fatso and millionaire. Plaintiff was trafficked by Elizabeth
and others to many other men, both before and after Black.
The violent and stadistic nature of Black's rape left an
indelible mark honor both physically and psychologically. Plaintiff suffered internal
abrasions in a rectum that continue to cause her pain
to this day. Plaintiff often is triggered each month at
the beginning of her menstrual cycle, as the sight of
blood from her body causes Plaintiff to suffer from panic attacks,
reliving the attack that she endured by Black's hands. Six
Black's other victims through Epstein upon information and belief, Plaintiff
is not the only female who Epstein and Black sexually violated.
For example, on March thirteenth, twenty twenty three, in the
matter of Jane Doe One versus Deutsche Bank Index number
twenty two CIV one zero zero one to eight JSR
Southern District of New York, the District Court heard oral
arguments on the defendant's motion to dismiss. As part of
Jane Doe One's claims, she alleged that there came a
time when Epstein forced Jane do One to give massages
to his powerful friends. During some of these massages, Jane
do One was sexually abused by force and against her
will by Epstein's friends, by whom she had been required
to do massage. Deutsche Bank introduced a release agreement between
Jane do One and Epstein in support of its motion
to dismiss. This release included a carve out of Jane
do One's claims against Black, as well as other individuals
James jess Staley, a former banker who Black introduced to
Epstein in or around two thousand. At oral argument, the
portion of the release were read into the record, including
in the relevant part that while the parties do not
believe there is any reasonable interpretation that this general release
could be construed to release James jess Daley, Leon Black,
or their respective entity affiliations. For clarity, this general Release
and Settlement Agreement specifically does not include James jess Daley,
Leon Black, or any other company or entity which either
is or was beneficially owned or controlled by James Staley
or Leon Black as a release or release party under
this general Release and Settlement Agreement. Of course, if Black
had not engaged in sexual misconduct or other tortious claims
against Jane do One, there would have been no reason
to include them in the carve out along with Jess Staley. Additionally,
beginning in August twenty nineteen, the US Virgin Islands conducted
extensive investigations into Epstein's sex trafficking activities, culminating in a
lawsuit against Epstein's estate. That lawsuit was settled between the
Office of the Attorney General for the USVII and Epstein's
estate in December of twenty twenty two for over one
hundred million. As part of the usvii's investigation into Abstein,
in August of twenty twenty, Black was served with subpoenas
from the USVII. The subpoenas to Black sought extensive financial
documents and tax information relating to Epstein and entities controlled
by Epstein, including Southern Trust, the entity Epstein used to
operate in Little Saint James. In September of twenty twenty,
the NYT New York Times disclosed that Black had deposited
one hundred and fifty eight million in Southern Trust account
between twenty thirteen and twenty seventeen. Thereafter, Black came under
intense scrutiny from Wall Street contingencies and other interested parties,
and then October of twenty twenty to help protect Black's reputation.
Deckert LLP was retained to investigate Epstein's ties to Black
and to Apollo. Following Deckerd's private investigation, it wrote a
report that it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Decker report revealed that Black claimed he paid Epstein
one hundred and fifty eight million to Epstein, who possessed
neither or a college degree nor any advanced degrees related
to tax advisement or a state planning for the overall
value he believed Epstein was providing to him through Epstein's
advice on trust in estate planning, tax issues, philanthropic issues,
and the operation of Black's family wealth management office. According
to the Decorate report, Epstein offered his most valuable piece
of work to Black in twenty twelve, which was advice
related to Black's grant or retained annuity trust that reportedly
saved Black as much as one billion or more and
tax liabilities. Black has never explained why Epstein performed this
grat work other than Paul Wise when the firm provided
legal work for Apollo and Black for decades and several
Paul Wise partners are considered our nation's top leading tax
and estate planning lawyers. On July twenty first, twenty twenty three,
The New York Times reported that Black agreed to pay
the US Virgin Island's Office of the Attorney General sixty
two and a half million in order to avoid possible
claims stemming from his relationship with Epstein. Black entered into
the settlement agreement with the USVII on January twentieth, twenty
twenty three. Following mediation, According to The New York Times,
some victims of mister Epstein who had received settlements directly
from his estate were granted permission by the estate's executors
to pursue claims against a handful of men who had
socialized with mister Epstein. According to a person with knowledge
of the matter, mister Black was one of those men.
Based on the above, it's clear that Miss Doe is
not the only victim of both Epstein and Black. The
