The Relationship Between Leon Black and Epstein

Paul Caruana-Galicia: Lawyers report sheds light on how Leon Black viewed Epstein. He was introduced to Epstein in the mid 1990s by a mutual friend and they developed a relationship. In 2008, after Epstein's prison sentence for solicitation of prostitution with an underage girl, he believed that it was appropriate to keep up a personal and professional relationship with his old friend. But then this wonderful relationship deteriorated. A payment dispute had been brewing for a while, beginning in 2016,. Epstein thought Leon Black owed him millions of dollars for work he'd done for him, but Leon Black is refusing to pay. By 2018, all contact between Black and Epstein has stopped.
