Leon Black plans to step down as chief executive of Apollo Global Management Inc. after an independent review revealed larger-than-expected payments to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that it nevertheless deemed justified.
The months long review by Dechert LLP found no evidence that Mr. Black was involved in the criminal activities of the late Epstein, who was indicted in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges involving underage girls, according to a copy of the law firm’s report that was viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
In its report, Dechert found the fees that the billionaire had paid Epstein were for legitimate advice on trust- and estate-tax planning that proved to be of significant value to Mr. Black and his family. Mr. Black paid Epstein a total of $148 million, plus a $10 million donation to his charity—far more than was previously known.

Was he actually medically diagnosed with it?Report
The real question is not when to walk out of a Ben Stiller movie. It’s why anyone would buy a ticket in the first place.Report
@Jason Kuznicki, Rent “Tropic Thunder” and then talk to me. I hate to defend Ben Stiller, but that movie cracked me up.Report
@Jason Kuznicki,
There are two kinds of Ben Stiller movies. Movies Starring Ben Stiller, which are to be avoided at all costs, and Movies By Ben Stiller, which are very good (all two of them).Report
@Jason Kuznicki,
The Royal Tenenbaums.
