Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein chronicles. So,
according to the New York Times, there were some provisions
that were carved out inside of the survivor's compensation fund
that allows the survivors to go after people like Jess
Daily and Leon Black. And that's exactly what at least
(00:22):
one of the survivors is going to do. And that's
according to a new article that's out in the New
York Times. So let's dive into this article and let's
see what's going on in the world of Jeffrey Epstein
and his dirty ass scumbag friends. Today's article was published
(00:43):
by The New York Times and the headline Epstein victim
may pursue claims against two Wall Street executives. A carve
out provision allows at least one sexual abuse victim of
Jeffrey Epstein who settled with his estate, to pursue claims
again Leon Black and James Staley. Other survivors may follow.
(01:05):
This article was authored by Matthew Goldstein. At least one
longtime sexual abuse victim of Jeffrey Epstein who received a
monetary settlement from his estate, can also pursue separate claims
against two powerful Wall Street executives who had ties to
the convicted sex offender, according to two people briefed on
(01:27):
the matter, and that's good, right. If there's other people
who are liable here, they shouldn't be absolved of any
sort of responsibility because Jeffrey Epstein's estate decided to pay
out some money, that's ridiculous. If I was abused by
Leon Black and Jeffrey Epstein, both of those scumbags are
paying up end of story, and that's the way it
(01:50):
should be. Richard Kahn, an executive of mister Epstein's estate,
testified in a deposition in May that the victim's settlement
included a harvout provision involving Leon Black, a billionaire private
equity investor, and James E. Staley, a former top executive
at JP Morgan Chase and Barclay's. Said the people who
(02:13):
were briefed on the deposition and spoke on the condition
of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss
the matter, Well, we had not heard that Richard Khan
had been deposed, So that's a good thing. Getting that
guy under oath was a very very important matter to
get handled. And I wonder if he perjured himself at
(02:35):
all during that testimony. We know that Darren Endyke and
Richard Kahan were key pieces of what Epstein had going on.
They were around from the very beginning. In Dyke's name
and signature is everywhere on documents as well as Cohn's.
And then just listen to what the survivors had to
say about these two dudes, and it's certainly a head
(02:56):
scratcher how they ended up as the executors and not
as defendants. The exceptions made for mister Black and mister
Staley show how the two men continue to be dogged
by their social and business dealings with mister Epstein four
years after he killed himself in a federal jail allegedly
mister Goldstein while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. You
(03:20):
know what's so funny to me, all of these people
that are so gung ho to believe what the OIG
wrote in that ridiculous report, but out of the other
side of their mouth they're criticizing this ruling or that ruling,
and then they say, well, that was just a bad
decision by the court or a bad decision by the
Supreme Court. Well, how about a bad decision by the OIG.
(03:43):
But that would run directly in the face of the
narrative that they're trying to spin. And that narrative is, Look,
everybody's a conspiracy theorist and Jeffrey Epstein most certainly killed himself.
How do we know that, Well, we're telling you that. Meanwhile,
the OIG report did nothing, nothing, not one single thing.
(04:03):
Just to be clear, Okay, you wanted an Italian, I'll
give it to you an Italian too. It did ugats
when it comes to furthering any sort of reliable narrative
about what happened inside of that jail cell, and furthermore,
what happened the first time around inside of the jail
cell with Nicholas Tartaglioni. You notice the New York Times
(04:24):
and mister Goldstein here and the rest of the reporters
that cover this case. I'm using air quotes. They never
bring that part of it up. And the reason that
they never bring up Tartaglioni and what happened in that
jail cell is because it absolutely destroys the rest of
the narrative moving forward. The arrangement could set a precedent
for other victims of mister Epstein, potentially exposing mister Black
(04:48):
and mister Staley to further scrutiny and liability. They deserve
all of it, all the scrutiny, all the liability, and
hopefully all of the repercussions that comes with with it.
She was a victim potentially to these individuals, mister Kahn
said in the deposition. According to one of the people,
mister Kahn said that mister Epstein's estate agreed to the
(05:11):
carve out provision so that the unnamed woman could potentially
sue for harms that she incurred. Well, as much as
I hate Endik and Khan, I'm glad to see that
the estate acquiesced to this portion of it. That way,
the woman here doesn't just have to say, you know what,
I got a payment from Epstein's estate, so everybody else
(05:33):
is off the hook. Screw that. Enough of that nonsense.
Everybody who was involved has to be brought in, prosecuted
if they've done something criminal and arrested. I don't understand
what the hold up is here and what the problem is.
In the deposition, mister Kahn, who was mister Epstein's longtime accountant,
said at least one other victim had sought a similar
(05:56):
carve out from the estate. According to the person, he
suggested in testimony, without providing details, the other victims might
have asked for the provision. With regard to other men,
the person said it was unclear from mister Kahn's deposition
whether either of the women had pursued claims against mister
Black or mister Staley, or what their specific claims might be.
(06:20):
The people briefed on the deposition said, well, we know
what the claims are. We know what women are saying
about Leon Black and Jeff Staley, and then we have
Jeess Staley's own emails that are more than suspect, talking
about snow White, Beauty and the Beast. Come on, do
you really think they were talking about Disney movies or
(06:42):
were they talking about something a lot more sinister. In
settling claims with victims, mister Epstein's estate had sought to
limit the potential for litigation against anyone with ties to
mister Epstein, something that should have never been allowed by
the way, that should have never been allowed by the government.
But you know, the USVII and the government down there,
(07:02):
they care so much about the victims. Right, give me
a break as there's stuffing money in their pockets like
Scrooge McDuck. Both mister Black, co founder of the private
equity firm Apollo Global Management, and mister Staley have been
frequent visitors to mister Abstein's Manhattan residence. Mister Black paid
mister Abstein one hundred and fifty eight million dollars for
(07:24):
tax and estate planning services, outsize payments that are now
drawing scrutiny from the Senate Finance Committee. Oh, they finally
got around to it. Huh, that's nice of them. Why
they're too busy playing political fuck the football before? Oh,
that's exactly what they were doing. The whole lot of them.
Discussed me, by the way, all of our elected officials,
(07:46):
I don't look at any of them and say to myself, Man,
this is somebody I can trust, This is somebody that's
gonna do the right thing. And why do I take
such a cynical outlook when it comes to our politicians. Well,
take a look at the way they behave, take a
look at all of this shit going on, all of
the things that are wrong in this country, and they
can't even figure it out. They can't come together, they
(08:07):
can't work together. Everything's a big argument. Everything has to
be absolutely politicized. That way, they can continue to divide
me and you so they can continue to do what
they want to do without any scrutiny. That's the plan.
I can't believe more people don't see it. But that's
what they've been doing forever, and that's what they continue
to do. Do you really think that these politicians that
(08:29):
are out there talking all this trash about the other
politicians really mean that it's like wrestling. Oh sure, they
hate each other when the cameras are on, but when
the camera goes off, they all work together again to
continue to plunder your future and your wealth. Meanwhile everybody
stands on the sidelines and cheers them on. Susan Estrich,
(08:50):
a lawyer for mister Black, said, the leak of mister
Kahn's deposition testimony is baseless character assassination, involving anonymous women
who have never brought a claim against mister Black. So
you know that this is a heavy claim. If Susan
Estrich is trying to get out in front of it
the way she is, she knows that this is going
to have blowback, and she knows that the writing is
(09:11):
on the wall for Leon Black to now face other
civil suits. Serry Boyd were prohibited by Lockie Team plus
terms and conditions. Applack Sea website for details. Lawyers from
mister Staley did not respond to her request for a comment.
A lawyer from mister Kahn declined to comment. The deposition
from mister Kahn was in connection with a class action
(09:32):
lawsuit filed last year by mister Epstein's survivors against JP
Morgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States, and
a related lawsuit against the bank by the US Virgin Islands.
The lawsuits contend that the bank turned a blind eye
to mister Epstein's trafficking of teenage girls and young women
(09:53):
to and from his residences in the Virgin Islands, Manhattan, Florida,
and New Mexico because he was a wealthy client with
famous and powerful friends. Don't even get me started on
New Mexico. What occurred down in New Mexico as far
as an investigation, is straight up embarrassing and everybody involved
(10:14):
down there, Baldaris and everybody else should hang their heads
in shame for the rest of their lives. In June,
JP Morgan agreed to pay two hundred and ninety million
dollars to settle the class action lawsuit, but it continues
to contest the suit by the Virgin Islands, which seeks
one hundred and ninety million in damages. JP Morgan is
(10:35):
also suing mister Staley in connection with that suit, claiming
he could be liable for damages. So basically, what we
have here are a bunch of monkeys banging a football.
That's what it looks like. Okay, lawsuits coming from every side.
This one's liable, that one's liable. Breaking news, You bunch
of dicks, You're all liable. In a court filing on Monday,
(10:57):
JP Morgan said it continued to do business with mister
Abstein because it relied on mister Staley's representations that mister
Abstein had turned the page on his past conduct. So
his past conduct he was fixed from that. He was
no longer a molester, he was no longer a child abuser.
We all know that people that do what Epstein did,
(11:19):
don't stop. What are you even talking about? He turned
the page. It's not like this guy didn't pay his
taxes and got nailed for that. We can all forgive that, right. Ah. Yeah,
the guy didn't want to pay his taxes. Shitty, but
I get it. Hurting children, trafficking women, Yeah, sorry, not
the same thing. An internal review of mister Staley's company
(11:41):
emails conducted by JP Morgan following mister Ebstein's twenty nineteen
arrest found that the two men had shared sexually suggestive emails.
Lawyers from mister Staley in court papers have said he
did nothing wrong and he was unaware of any sex
trafficking by mister Ebstein. He had no idea, folks, none
of them knew anything. They had no idea. In twenty
(12:06):
twenty one, mister Black resigned as chairman and chief executive
of Apollo over his ties to mister Epstein. This year,
he quietly agreed to pay sixty two and a half
million dollars to the Virgin Islands to head off a
potential lawsuit that would have claimed his large payments to
mister Epstein helped finance the sex trafficking operation in the
(12:27):
US territory. And you see why they don't use rico
right because if they did, they'd have to arrest Leon Black.
They'd have to arrest all of these scumbags that hold
the keys to the kingdom. And when I say the
keys to the kingdom, I mean the financial sector. Who
do you think puts your favorite politicians in office? You
think it's you, You think it's all those ballots that
(12:49):
were sent in. No, it's not. It's these people that
are pulling the strings of their puppets. They're the puppeteers,
people like Leon Black. Okay, So keep that in mind
when you're arguing about your favorite politicians. Mister Black is
also being sued by two other women who say they
were raped by him roughly two decades ago at mister
(13:11):
Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. Miss Estrich called those allegations false and frivolous.
Lawyers from mister Epstein's survivors have estimated that he sexually
abused hundreds of teenage girls and young women over two decades.
More than one hundred and twenty five women have received
one hundred and fifty three million dollars in settlement payments
(13:33):
from either a restitution fund set up by the estate
or in deals negotiated directly by the estate, as was
the case with the two women mister Kahn was asked
about during his deposition. All right, so as you can
see here, Leon Black and Jess Daley certainly aren't out
of the woods when it comes to getting sued survivors
(13:56):
who have taken money from the survivor's fund. Well, they're
still going to be able to sue Jess Staley and
Leon Black, according to the deposition of Richard Kahn. And
that's a big development because now that means that they're
personally liable for their bullshit. But unfortunately it's not going
to matter because at the end of the day, they're
(14:17):
just gonna break out their checkbook and pay their way
out of whatever trouble they find themselves in. And that's
what happens when everything's civil and nothing is criminal. So
here we are talking about a SECO case that should
have been a RICO case, and all of Jeffrey Epstein's
pals and fellow travelers are doing nothing more than pulling
(14:37):
out their checkbook and buying their way out of trouble,
while the rest of us are left aghast wondering if
any real justice is ever going to arrive. All right, folks,
that's gonna wrap it up for this one. All of
