Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Today,
we're going to talk a little bit more about Leon
Black's trip to court and add some context to what
went on at that hearing. Now, yesterday we had a
bit of an overview about him going to this hearing,
about this hearing taking place, but we didn't really know
the details yet as far as some of the arguments
that went on and some of the animosity being traded
back and forth. Now, this is a battle of the titans, folks,
Leon Black and Harris. I mean, we're talking two of
the biggest of the bigs in the financial sector and
watching them lock horns like this pretty epic, honestly. Now,
there aren't many people that can stand up to Leon
Black and take him on head on, but Harris is
certainly one of the very few people that is situated
to do that. Now, according to Harris, he has nothing
to do with Miss Ganieva and her lawsuits. His beef
with Leon Black stems from other things, the fact that
he was passed up for Mark Rowan, and mainly the
fact that Jeffrey Epstein and Leon Black were so close.
So that's where the animosity is coming from. That's where
it stems from, and you see it pouring over into
every situation that you find Leon Black in at this point. Now,
as far as Leon Black's concerned, like we talked about
the other day, just another one of these oligarchs, right. Look,
let's if the roles were reversed right now, if we
were living in a different world and say it was
America attacking say Mexico, leon Black would be one of
the oligarchs that the world was sanctioning. Can I make
that any clearer to people out there? I know it's
the en vogue thing right now to you know, hate
on the Russian people, But to be very clear, all
of us in the West have our own oligarchs. And
when I bash these people, these one percent of the
one percent, I'm talking about all of them, not just
the Russians, not just the Americans, not just the English.
The whole entire so called elite ruling establishment is who
I have a problem with. And I'm not talking about
a group of people in a room, the illuminati they
say that for somebody else. Man, I'm talking about the
people in the financial sector who really have their finger
on the pulse, who really control what goes on and
what doesn't go on. Let me ask you a question,
what any of these government sanctions work if the banks
weren't on board. You know the answer to that, and
the answer is no. So we have our own oligarchs here, folks.
And while I think it's a great thing to sanction
the Russian oligarchs, I've been saying that for years. We
have to pay mine to our own problems. And this
scumbag Leon black is certainly that caused a lot of
grief for a lot of American companies. They're vultures over
at Apollo Global. Now, don't get me wrong. They do
some good work right, some good investments, blah blah blah,
But their bread and butter is to go in take
over companies, make some money, and then jettison those companies.
What they did with Caesar's Palace here in Vegas is
an absolute travesty. And now they got their hands on
the Sands, one of the jewels ridiculous man used to
be one of my favorite properties. When I worked for
counter Fitzgerald. We owned the sportsbooks, the rights to the
sports book inside of the Venetian, which is a Sands property.
And if you've ever been to the Venetian and seen
their sports book. You know how epic it is. So
it sucks that Apollo Global is in charge of Sands
now because that means I'll never go back to that
casino again. Just like I was talking about yesterday with Barclays,
I'm not big on like the whole boycott thing. I'm
not going to sit here and tell anybody else what
to do but me personally. You know, I'm going to
do whatever I want to do with my money. I
earn my money. It's hard to earn, and I'm gonna
spend at how I damn well. Please. And if you
think I'm giving Leon Black, Mark Rowan or any of
these scumbags over at Apollo Global one red cent, you
got another thing coming all right onto the article. If
you had to pick two major law firms particularly known
for fierce aggressive tactics, you could do a lot worse
than naming Quinn, Emmanuel Erkhart and Sullivan and whigdor So
again Battle of the Titans. What you could expect when
you're dealing with people with this kind of money, folks, Again,
that's what it comes down to me or you, we'd
be going through the phone book right better call Saul,
not these guys. And that's why it's laughable when Leon
Black talks about, oh, I gave Jeffrey Epstein one hundred
and fifty eight million dollars for advice. Yeah right, bro,
you have all the money in the world. You don't
need to give Jeffrey Epstein money for advice. Call on
one of your lawyers over here and have them set
you up with somebody. Legit. I'm not sure which one
is the immovable object and which is the unstoppable force.
But when the two collide, as they have in litigation
over rape allegations against billionaire Leon Black, well, let's just
say it's not pretty. That is definitely the case. Whenever
you get these big ass law firms going head to
head locking horns, it's always a bloodbath. We saw it
with Prince Andrew, David Boyce, Sigared McAuley, even Bradley Edwards
and the way that they, you know, clashed with Epstein's
lawyers and then Maxwell's lawyers, Prince Andrew's lawyers. When you
have these kinds of lawyers out up there and they're
litigating cases, let's remember we got to think about and
remember that these people all have you know their own ideas.
As far as these lawyers go, they're looking to establish
more prestige, looking to get more clients, and a lot
of these big law firms are super combative. The hostilities
escalated in a Quinn filing on Wednesday that accuses Wigdor
of making inaccurate representations about when it began representing Black's accuser,
former model Guselle Ganieva, and of helping Ganieva promoter claims
about Black to journalists. Wigdor partner Geen Christiansen told told
me Quinn's latest assertions are so freaking ridiculous and total
and utter nonsense. You know what, folks, We live in
the age of disinformation, right, So me, I don't trust
anything I hear anymore. I have to dig in myself
and verify shit, and if I can't verify it, I
put it onto the back burner. Right. It's just so
hard to discern the real from the fake at this point.
So when you're talking about a situation like this with
Leon Black and missus Ganieva, you know that there's going
to be all kinds of misinformation thrown from these lawyers.
They're gonna try and throw people off the scent. They're
gonna make it accusations such as this so that you
don't pay attention to what Leon Black was up to.
So my advice, unsolicited as it may be, is be
very very cautious of what you're letting into your brain
these days, very cautious. We have nothing to hide, said Christiansen,
who was responding to an email query to her and Wigdor.
I can't even imagine what a judge is going to
think of this. Look. We have seen a lot of
weird ass behavior from people around Epstein, Epstein's friends, people
who are being charged in relation to Epstein, as far
as their legal decisions go and the way their legal
teams move. And this might be another one of those
crazy ass moves like hell Mary almost because again, let's
be clear, Leon Black knows he's cooked. Oh boy, don't
have nothing really good friends with Epstein. He had a
consensual relationship with this lady. He's already admitted it. Now
he has to prove that he's being extorted. Good luck,
bro Ranker and outrage have been hallmarks of this litigation
since it began in June twenty twenty one, when Wigdor
filed the lawsuit for Ganieva in New York State Supreme Court.
Ghanieva alleged that Black had sexually abused her for years
before coercing her into signing a non disclosure agreement. Look, folks,
whenever I hear a man has a woman sign a
non disclosure agreement about their sexual relationship, I am automatically
automatically suspicious. Why do you need someone to sign a
non disclosure agreement over your sexual relationship? Oh wait, you
cheated on your wife? Bro? We all know stop it.
Is there any of these guys out there, any of
these rich, scummy sons of bitches that aren't cheating on
their wives. My guess is most of them are. Okay,
So what do you mean? What do you need the
non disclosure for? Not like your wife's gonna leave you anyway,
Leon Black? Really, what it was is because he wanted
to control. He had to continue to have control even
when the relationship ends. That's what this non prosecution bullshit,
I mean, non disclosure agreement bullshit? Is Black, who is married,
has said that he and Ganieva had a consensual affair
and that he paid her millions of dollars to keep
it a secret. Why are you look again, millions of
dollars to keep it a secret. Bro, Why are you
getting yourself into this situation in the first place. If
you ever find yourself in a situation where you're paying
millions of dollars for other people not to find out,
you're probably not in the right situation. Thank you for
coming to my ted talk. Are these people for real, folks? Honestly?
How do they have so much money, so much power,
so much prestige and they're so fucking dumb? But that's
not all. Last October, Quinn filed a racketeering suit for Black,
the former CEO of the private equity fund Apollo Global Management, Incorporated,
in federal court in Manhattan. Black suit accused Ganieva and
her lawyers from Wigdor of conspiring with unknown defendants to
smear the billionaire's name. To smear the billionaire's name, Like
he needs any help with that shit, Brah, You and
Jeffrey Epstein were BFFs. Nobody needs help to smear your name.
All we have to do is run an article about
you and your pal Jeffrey Epstein. Think that's sufficient. Black
later elaborated on his conspiracy theory in an amended federal
court complaint filed in January. The new complaint claimed that
Ganieva was in cahoots with Josh Harris, a business rival
of Black, who was allegedly scheming to use Ganieva's account
of sexual assault to incapacitate Black. Look, it's amazing that
Black would even attempt this move. Honestly, you know, he's
very brazen and very arrogant. But I think this is
gonna fil miserably for him. I think he's barking up
the wrong tree with Harris, folks, Honestly, I really do.
And it's not very often that someone like Leon Black
meets their match. But Harris knows all of Black's tricks.
This is kind of like the paddle on fighting the
Jed High right. The Sith rule of two. There can
only be two sith, one dark lord and then the
one apprentice. So is Harris looking to get rid of
the Sith Lord Leon Black to ascend to his throne.
Very possible, folks, Very very possible. Both Harris and Ganieva
said last week in dismissal motions that Black's racketeering conspiracy
claim was completely preposterous because for starters, Black had not
offered a shred of evidence that the two of them
ever even communicated with each other, let alone formed a conspiracy.
So Leon Black's out here like he's part of the
q anon group talking about all kinds of wild conspiracies.
Next thing, you know, you folks know what's coming next. Right,
next thing, you know, he's gonna bring the lady Viktoria
Heavy around so she could tell you about her conspiracy
theories too. Wigdor responded to Black's racketeering allegations with e
motion for Rule eleven sanctions against Black, Quinn and co
counsul from Estrich Golden, arguing that Black's accusation against Wigdoor
was an outrageously scandalous attempt to scare the firm away
from representing Ganieva. Big time move by rich people. They'll
try and get your lawyer not to represent you, right,
they don't give up. Do you really think these people
care about you? I don't know how much I have
to how clearer I need to be. None of these
corporate giants care about you. If you work for a
large corporation, they do not care about you. Don't feel
bad if you have to call in sick. None of
that nonsense, because these people do not care, and people
like Leon Black will use their exquisite power, their extreme
amount of prestige, and they will crush people who are
smaller than them, and they won't care for one single
second you think they're gonna miss any sleep over it chants.
Black ended up dropping the conspiracy claim against Wigdor in
his amended complaint, though he continued to allege that Wigdor
defamed him and in peculiar in an end. In a
peculiar turn of events, Quinn Emmanuel withdrew as Black's counsel
in the federal case, citing an undisclosed conflict. It's always
something right, It's always something behind the scenes. There's always
some kind of connection. All of these law firms are intertwined,
and that's why when they do these internal reports, we
always talk about That's why I always find that shit laughable.
Quinn Manuel, which remained in the federal case to defend
Wigdor's sanction motion, said that Black's amended complaint mooted the
call for sanctions. Wigdor fired back with a brief, doubling
down on its allegations of misconduct. It claimed that Quinn
Emmanuel tried to pressure Wigdoor to betray Ganieva by providing
incriminating evidence linking her to Harris Black's nemesis at Apaul.
So you see how this happens behind the scenes, right,
and just take a look at what's going on here,
and then times this by about fifty thousand, okay, And
that's the kind of pressure that Epstein's lawyers put on
the girls in Palm Beach the first time around. And
guess what those girls they didn't have the lawyers to
protect them that Harris has. They had some shit bag
prosecutor named krisher who really didn't care about them, or
Marie Villa Fana, who is all of a sudden some
sort of hero. But this is the kind of shit
you're dealing with with these high power lawyers. Folks. These
got these people that look they're coming for blood, They're
coming for your throat. And these are the same kind
of folks like Marty Singer. It claimed that Quinn Manuel
tried to pressure Wigdor exc excuse me past that. Quinn
partner Michael Karlinsky called the assertion ridiculous. He told me
he was simply responding to question from Wigdor's lawyer. Wigdor
moved last week to dismiss Black's defamation claim, which it
called wasteful and retaliatory see what I mean about hostilities.
In the latest round, Quinn has homed in on discovery
Wigdor recently produced in Ganieva's state court case. The evidence,
as Quinn laid it out in a brief in the
state case, is a series of WhatsApp exchanges between Ganijeva
and New York Times reporter Matt Goldstein in October and
November of twenty twenty. That was months before Ganieva publicly
accused Black of sexual abuse in March twenty twenty one
and signed a retainer agreement with Wigdor in April twenty
twenty one. So what they're trying to assert is that
this was all made up and that this lawyer, mister
Goldstein here played a part in facilitating this whole entire ordeal.
That is exactly what Quinn, the law firm Quinn, is
zeroing in on at this point. And what's that message
is Goldstein repeatedly told Ganieva he was talking to Wigdor.
He did not expressly say that those conversations involved Ganieva,
although he did ask Ganieva if she was okay with
him talking to me on background. Ghanieva told Goldstein in
a follow up message, I will let Wigdor know that
if you want to speak with them, you can. The
Times did not publish a story about Ganeieva's allegations before
she tweeted about Black, and you know why, right The
New York Times is filled with cowards. Oh, they act
like they aren't, but let's be real. The Gray Lady
is not what it once was. And I'll never forget
the way they dog walked us into the war in Iraq.
I will never forget the dishonesty, the lying, and how
untruthful they were to the American people into the world.
So it doesn't shock me that they didn't run this.
Too scared to go after Leon Black, too scared to
stand up to Black. The implication, Quinn said, is that
Wigdor was already advising Ganieva about going public with their
accusations against Black, perhaps in a splashy news article, before
she tweeted about her alleged abuse. Quinn argued that the
Goldstein evidence proved Wigdor was communicating with reporters on Ganniheva's behalf,
bolstering Black's assertion that Wigdor and Ganieva were plotting to
gauge the media's appetite for Miss Gannieva's false claims before
they were made public in March of twenty twenty one.
So basically, in Layman's terms, terms that we can understand
here on the East side of Las Vegas is they
were just fishing. They were trying to see the interest
of the newspapers in a story such as this, And
most times you would think that a newspaper would jump
on a story like this, but you know how it goes.
The New York Times is not a reputable source at
this point, sorry, folks, just the way it is. In
a parallel filing in the federal case, Quinn's co counsel,
Susan Estrich argued that the Goldstein text undermined Wigdor's claim
for sanctions. Wigdor has engaged in precisely the activity that
is the subject of the complaint in this action, not
just the pursuit of sham litigation activity, but promotion of
Miss Ganieva's false narratives to the press, The filing said.
Goldstein declined to comment on his conversations with Ganieva and Wigdor.
That's probably a good idea, I mean, you know, usually
you get these journalists who get scared and they start
burning their sources and turning everything over. But at least
Goldstein clammed up here. Wigdor partner Christensen said, the WhatsApp
messages show nothing. Ganieva was consulting with many advisors, including
Wigdor and another law firm, about her allegations. There was
nothing unusual about Wigdor speaking to Goldstein, a prominent reporter.
For all you know, Goldstein was asking Doug why we
did not represent Gazelle. Christiansen's said Matt had been calling, texting,
and emailing with her for months. She added, all this
does is show she wrestled with the decision. She knew
how tough it would be to go against Leon Black
and his lawyers and his lawyers, but hers are just
as tough. Look, there's no doubt she got the right lawyers.
If she's gonna battle against Leon Black, she's in the
right place. And make no mistake, folks, this is going
to be a long, arduous struggle for her. This is
not going to be easy. She's not gonna get a
settlement dropped in her lap, nothing like that. So we're
going to continue to follow this one because it's a
big deal. It has a large shadow cast over Epstein's
criminal enterprise, and as you all know, I believe Leon
Black was a key member in facilitating these financial moves.
So he's always been somebody that I have had my
eye on, and seeing him in court here and watching
him sweat a little bit is certainly an enjoyable experience
for me. But with that said, I really hope that
we get to see this all play out. I want
to see it go to discovery and all of that,
because missus Ganieva's claims are very, very serious and they
deserve a real look, not some BS nonsense, but a
real look, and also a look from the authorities as
far as criminal charges. I know that Leon Black was
allegedly under investigation or they were looking into these charges
as far as a criminal matter, and I really hope
that the clown show down at the SDNY pursues this shit.
But like usual, we will have to see all right, folks,
that's gonna do it for this update. As usual, some
more episodes are on their way and I will be
back later on with a little bit more. If you'd
like to contact me, you can do that at Bobby
Kapuci at ProtonMail dot com. That's Bo bby cap you

me on Twitter, you can do that at Bobby Underscore
cap U Seci. The links that we discussed can be
found in the description box. What's up everyone, and welcome
back to the Epstein Chronicles. We have ourselves a relatively
short article that we're about to dive into today that
deals with Leon Black and Missus Gonieva facing off in
court for the first time today. Now, this story is
still evolving, right. We've had a lot of finger pointing here.
We've had Leon Black asserting that it was Josh Harris
who set this all up. We have racketeering charges, all
sorts of crazy things going on in this battle between
Missus Gonieva and Leon Black. But this is the first
time that their legal teams are going to face each
other down in court, and it's going to be interesting
what comes of all of this. Now we know that
Leon Black has already admitted to a consensual affair with
Missus Gonieva. He asserts, however, that she is attempting to
extort him and use that as a you know, anchor
over his head, considering he was married to get more
money out of him. If he didn't do that, she
was going to tell the world about their relationship. Well,
we all know that happened anyway, and we all know
that Leon Black was engaged in what he says was
a consensual relationship, and she agrees that for the most part,
or at least a portion of it, it was consensual.
And at the same time, mind you, leon Black had
a sick wife, So it shows you the kind of
sick bastard we're talking about here. Who is out here
creeping around on their sick wife with some model lady.
Is what is wrong with you? So anyway, all of
this stuff comes to a head, it all comes out,
the public gets an eyefull, and now we're seeing the
fallout from all of this as Leon Black scrambles to
try and defend his name and what he says is
basically a palace coup. So let's jump into the article
from Bloomberg and let's see what they have to say.
The author is Bob Van Vores and Heather Perlberg headline
apollos Leon Black faces off against former model in court
for the first time. Lawyers for Leon Black and a
former model he says is trying to destroy his reputation,
will face off for the first time in a New
York court Thursday, admit a dispute over messages the billionaire
claims show a conspiracy against him. You notice, whenever something
goes south for these people, these rich people, these rich
people like Leon Black, all of a sudden, it's a
huge conspiracy against me. Ah conspiracy. It's always the same story,
isn't it. And I don't know about you, folks, but
I'm not buying it anymore now. I wasn't there. I
don't know what happened with him and miss Ganieva. I
don't know, you know, if her allegations are true. But
what I will say is this, I certainly take them
very seriously. One, because anytime somebody has these sorts of
allegations and they're willing to go all the way to
court and put themselves out there, I think that they
should be listened to. Number Two, somebody who's hanging out
with Jeffrey Epstein and associating with Epstein, spending as much
time with Epstein as Leon Black did. Yeah, I don't
put it past them, especially considering missus Ganieva's claims that
Leon Black brought her for Jeffrey Epstein at one point
to do as he wished with her. So it it
doesn't come off as like a charge against somebody where
I'd be like, well, hold on, We've never even heard
anything like that about this person. We're gonna need a
lot more information, Whereas we have seen a lot about
the character possessed by Leon Black, and I have to
tell you, folks, it's lacking. Black, the co founder of
Apollo Global Management, sued Guzelle Ganieva and here Lloyd wigdor
Llp last year after she sued him for defamation, intentional
infliction of emotional distress, gender motivated violence, and retaliation. Now
remember the article that we read last night about the oligarchs, right,
and how it mentioned Leon Black another reason why is
a scumbag? Do you really think that this guy built
this empire on the up and up, that he wasn't
cutting corners making financial moves that are not correct or
not legal? You really think he did everything was on
the up and up. That's how we built Apollo Global. Yeah. Right,
He's in the pocket of all of these oligarchs. All
of these dudes are up to the same shit, whether
they be an oligarch in Russia or an oligarch in America.
They're all the same kind of person. They look at
you as less then they look at people as missus
Ganieva as just a plaything, and when I'm done with you,
I'll discard you as I wish. One thing they're learning, though,
is that they're old tricks. Their old movie poofs aren't
going to hold weight anymore as far as the public's concerned.
You're not just gonna get up there and say, oh,
I'm being extorted. This lady was trying to rob me. No,
that's not gonna work anymore, especially when you have the
character of somebody like Leon Black. His lawyer, Susan Estrich,
filed a letter with a federal court judge overseeing Black's
case Wednesday, claiming her team had received WhatsApp messages between
Ganieva and a New York Times reporter showing she was
working with her lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, months before Ganieva officially
retained him. Guess what, maybe she unofficially retained him. Maybe
it was a handshake agreement. This is what happens. What
we're seeing Leon Black's lawyers do are is the same
exact thing that we saw Prince Andrew's lawyers do. They're
gonna attempt to try and destroy her credibility. They're gonna
attempt to try and make Miss Ganieva out to be
a raving lunatic, when in reality, it's their client who
is the sick bath. It's their client who is the lunatic.
Geene Christiansen, a Whigdoor partner, rejected that argument. Absolutely nothing
in text messages between Miskanieva and a reporter from The
New York Times does anything to support Black's fake conspiracy
underlying his baseless civil rico claims. It's so crazy to
me that Leon Black is out here slapping other people
with a civil racketeering charges when he should be caught
up in a real rico case himself, according to his
business dealings with Epstein. It's so annoying, it's so frustrating
to see it over and over and over again. And
you know that Leon Black's gonna find a way to
wiggle his ass off of this too. It'll be some
kind of payout and he'll tell his story walkin. That's
how it always ends up for these people. When you're
a man of always and you have your foot on
the throat of the children of never for always. This
is the end result. You don't pay any prices, there's
no repercussions, and you're able to just call people crazy
and lunatics and say they're after you for your money
and you just get to go on with your life
while the other person has their lives absolutely destroyed. That's
the way it's always been when it comes to people
like this. I really hope that this time around it's different,
because it's the irony is not lost on me that
this guy's out here talking about this one should be
hit with a Sicco case, or that one should be
hit with a Sicco case, when it's really his bitch
ass that should be hit with a Rico and the
Cicco case. The techs speak for themselves, and the fact
that Black believes that they are evidence of anything shows
how unhinged. Black's belief is. That numerous individuals, including many
who do not even know one another, were allegedly plotting
to ruin him. It's always nice to come up with
this huge, large conspiracy that's trying to ruin you. Isn't
it very hard for people to lock that in? Very
hard for people to track that down. You start adding
name this one and that one becomes a shit show.
But the reality is this, there's no conspiracy in my
opinion here to take down Leon Black. Leon Black was
an absolute scumbag. Leon Black shouldn't have been out catting
around on his wife. And now when it's time to
pay up, pay up, pay up, it's a big problem.
Oh I didn't do that. She's a liar. Oh oh
she's extorting me. No, we don't believe you, Leon Black.
I'm sorry, my friend. I don't think anybody believes you.
In fact, Black and Ganieva are locked in an escalating
series of back and forth legal claims. Black has stepped
down as chairman and chief executive officer at Apollo and
receded from roles including chairman of New York's Museum of
Modern Art. And look, that has a lot to do
with his Epstein ties as well. Let's not forget this
dude was living in shame. Well anybody who knew about
his ties to Epstein anyway, for quite some time, what
happened here was the Gniheva situation has really forced the
spotlight on to Leon Black. Back Ganeieva's initial allegations of
sexual assault, first revealed in tweets in mid March of
last year, followed reports of blacks larger than expected payments
for tax advice and financial services to disgrace sex offender
Jeffrey Epstein, totally one hundred and fifty eight million dollars Again,
why are you paying anyone one hundred and fifty eight
million dollars for advice? Are you kidding me? Right now?
Stop it? You're not paying anyone a buck fifty eight
for advice? One hundred and fifty eight million? Really? Yeah? Sure.
Black has accused Ganieva of extortion and denied the allegations
that he sexually assaulted her. He instead characterized their relationship
as a consensual affair, which started in two thousand and
eight and ended around twenty fourteen. Well, look, just because
you're in a consensual affair with somebody doesn't mean you
can't hurt them, or abuse them or rape them. I
don't care. If you're married to somebody for one hundred
and fifty thousand years so they don't want to be
physical or have contact with you, then that's it. But
guys like Leon Black, you ever try and tell somebody
like this no. I know I have in my capacity
as managing a sportsbook, I've had to break some bad
news to rich people before, and they are not happy
about it. Right, So can you imagine in a private
setting when a girl or a woman who they think
that they have ownership over tells them no or denies
their commons. As part of his lawsuit, Black has also
accused Apollo co founder Josh Harris of organizing a coup
to overthrow them. Black said that Harris worked with Ganieva
to assassinate his character and extort even more from him.
Black wrote in a filing earlier this year, I mean,
it's crazy to me to think that he believes Josh Harris,
who has quite the workload, has the time to sit
around in a bunker and come up with this strategy
to try and you know, kneecap Leon Black breaking news,
my friend. You don't need anyone to do that. You
fell and broke your ankle on your own. You know
the meme when the kid's riding the bike and he
shoves the stick and the spokes and goes flying over.
That's Leon Black. He has nobody to blame but himself.
Dude had the whole world at his fingertips again, just
like Prince Andrew. Instead he chose to covort and hang
out with people like Epstein. He chose to hang out
with Russian oligarchs and lord knows what else this son
of a bitch is up to. Harris has denied the allegation,
and his attorneys have said that Black's legal actions against
his former colleague reflect a badly misguided effort to blame
Josh Harris for problems that are of Black's own making.
And again, it always got to be a scapegoat, right, Oh,
it can't be me. I'm Leon Black. I'd never do
anything like this. You could never hold me accountable. But
the reality of the matter is Leon Black has no
one to blame but himself. He's the one that had
this relationship with Miss Ganieva, consensual or not. He's the
one that decided to give Jeffrey Epstein one hundred and
fifty eight million dollars for god knows what. So I
don't want to hear this bullshit that everybody's out to
get you. You know, it's a big, gigantic conspiracy involving
the whole world. Stop, just stop, because the fact is this,
You're in the position you're in because you're a stupid asshole.
For as smart as you think you are, for all
that energy when you walk in the room like you're
the biggest swinging you know what in the in the room,
the reality is you're just a small man, another man
that gets off on abusing others or you know, making
financial moves that make life hard on others. Just a
typical predator. The lawyers will meet Thursday morning with US
District Judge paul A. Engelmeyer in Manhattan to begin planning
the course of litigation. So that's what we have so
far with the Leon Black situation where we're at. They're
gonna meet in court, They're gonna try and hammer something out,
and it is my estimate, my guess, that they're gonna
try and work towards a settlement here because just like
Prince Andrew, leon Black certainly does not want to be
the post. Can you imagine the Epstein questions that are
going to come from Wigdor It'll be a barrage. So
my guess is this clown is going to settle for
a high amount of money and we won't ever get
to a trial portion of this. But who knows maybe
we do. Maybe Leon Black decides, Hey, you know what,
we're going all in, but for some reason I highly
doubt it. All Right, folks, it's gonna do it for
this episode. I'll be back later on with a little
bit more. If you'd like to contact me, you can
