You've all probably read about Epstein's ties to Billionaire Les Wexner, owner of Victoria Secrets and the man who purchased the townhome that is known as Epstein's NYC residence. (Wexner appears to never have lived in the home, which was purchased in 1989 and then transferred to Epstein for $0 a few years ago.)

STREET TITAN CONNECTION

Here's another billionaire's name we are going to be hearing more of soon: Leon Black. Leon Black owns the mega investment banking firm Apollo Group, based in NYC. Besides Wexner, he is the only other money man we know of that has direct financial ties to Epstein. Here's what we know:

• Black runs one of the world's most profitable investment funds, and his personal net worth is $7 Billion
• Black owns several large properties in and around NYC, including several private townhouses near Epstein's residence
• Epstein serves as the ONLY non-family director on Black Family Foundation, and remained in that position after Epstein's first pedo conviction. The NY Post writes: “You’d think if you ran a $200 billion firm you’d distance yourself” from a known sex predator like Epstein, a source close to Black told The Post"
• It's believed but not yet confirmed that Epstein managed several personal trusts for Black and his family, out of the Virgin Islands

BLACK OPS CONNECTION

What's even more curious about Leon Black? His firm Apollo Group bought Constellis Group, the firm founded by ex-Navy Seal Eric Prince originally known as "Blackwater". At the time of the purchase in 2016, Constellis had more than 8, 000 employees across at least 25 countries in geographic regions such as Africa, the Americas, Europe and the Middle East and the contractor’s security-related services include training, technology and advisory support to defense, intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

As many of you know, Blackwater (Constellis Group) is known for supporting/leading covert CIA and military operations, primarily in the Middle East. In fact the original founder of Blackwater, Eric Prince maintains a home in Abu Dhabi. It's unknown if Prince remains involved in Constellis after it's aquisition by Apollo Group, but it seems unlikely.

So, you need to ask yourself why does a money management firm based in NYC need a black ops security and military operation? And why this long time friendship with Jeffrey Epstein in spite of a conviction for underage sex?

KINDERCARE CONNECTION

How does Leon Black know Jeffrey Epstein? It's likely through a mutual friend Michael Milken, a former bond trader who took down investment firm Drexel Burnham Lambert in the 1980s. Black was also a high level executive at that firm. As Gawker noted in a 2008 article:

"But it's worth noting that Epstein has longstanding ties to Michael Milken, who used to work with Black at Drexel Burnham. And the lawyer who represented a number of Drexel employees in the wake of the firm's scandalous collapse, Gerald Lefcourt, also represented Epstein in connection with the underage prostitution charges. It's unclear if Epstein also managed some of Black's money."

As many of you know, Michael Milken served several years in prison for defrauding investors in the scam that took down Drexel Burnham, and was the biggest financial scandal of the 1980s. Milken remains to this day a very wealthy man, with assets in excess of $3 Billion. Milken operated out of a Drexel Burnam office in Los Angeles, and continues to have close ties to Hollywood, so it's possible this is Epstein's connection to the Los Angeles elite.

And more curiously, this tidbit from his Wikipedia page:

"Milken and his brother Lowell founded Knowledge Universe in 1996, as well as Knowledge Learning Corporation (KLC), the parent company of KinderCare Learning Centers, the largest for-profit child care provider in the country. He is currently chairman of the company."

That's right folks, Milken owns KinderCare Learning centers, which provides programs for children from ages 6 to 12 years old

This rabbit hole is deep. Black is named in the 2,000 pages of legal documents from Epstein's first investigation, which we expect to be released shortly.

Stay tuned......
