Leon Black paid US Virgin Islands $62million after being issued this subpoena asking for all his communications with Jeffrey Epstein, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn

  • The Caribbean island government asked Black for photos of his trips to Epstein’s home and all his emails, texts and phone calls with the late pedophile
  • Black settled with them in January of this year – paying $62million 
  • He is accused of raping autistic, Down syndrome girl at Epstein’s house in 2002 

Billionaire Epstein associate Leon Black paid the US Virgin Islands $62million in 2021 after being asked for all of his communications with the late pedophile and his ‘right hand men’, DailyMail.com can reveal. 

In a subpoena issued by the US Virgin Islands government on January 27 2021, Black was asked for all emails, letters, transactions and other forms of communication that he and his office had with Epstein and his associates since 1998. 

The Caribbean investigators also wanted to know about Black’s own trips to Little St James, Epstein’s private island where is said to have abused countless girls and allegedly handed them off to his friends too. 

Black ended up settling, agreeing to pay $62million in January of this year to make it go away. That settlement was reported for the first time this week.  

His representatives have insisted that it does not indicate complicity in Epstein’s crimes or even knowledge of it. 

Once a titan of the finance industry, Black stepped down in shame from his firm, Apollo, in 2021 after his deep ties to Epstein were revealed.


In January 2021, Leon Black was asked to hand over all his communications with Jeffrey Epstein dating back to 1998. The request came from the Attorney General of the US Virgin Islands as part of its probe into Epstein’s sexual crimes. This year, Black settled with the government, paying them $62million to close the case

He paid Epstein $158million over the course of five years between 2012 and 2017 – after Epstein had been convicted of soliciting prostitution from children in Palm Beach. 

Black insists the payments were for estate planning and tax advice, and that he was given poor advice by Epstein, whose professional credentials barely touched his own. 

The Senate Finance Committee is now investigating whether Black, worth a reported $11billion, owes tax on those payments. 

Black was a pillar of New York high society as the chairman of the Museum of Modern Art and husband to theater producer Debra Black. The pair remain married and have four children. 

Earlier this week, he was sued in Manhattan federal court by a Jane Doe who claims he raped her in 2002 when she was 16 at Epstein’s house. 

Now in her 30s, she is too old to file a claim against him with the New York Police Department, even in light of New York State’s stretched historic child abuse statute of limitations. 

This is the subpoena Black received in January 2021 from the USVI Attorney General’s Office 

The woman is autistic and has mosaic Down syndrome – a condition that is only manifested internally and has no physical symptoms. 

She described in graphic detail how Black allegedly raped her on a massage table at Epstein’s mansion after sodomizing her with sex toys and making her bleed. 

She claims he threw her to the ground after the assault, calling her a ‘w***re’. 

The woman’s attorney Jeanne Christensen described in the filing how she had been allegedly trafficked to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – now in prison for her part in the sex trafficking operation – by a mystery couple named only as ‘Elizabeth and Charlie’. 

She says the girl had been given to them by her unsuspecting parents, then was subjected to horrific sexual and physical abuse.

The lawsuit describes shocking and twisted tactics allegedly used by Ghislaine to win the child’s trust. 

The girl’s attorneys claim Ghislaine called her ‘beautiful darling’ and compared her to a ‘doll’, lauding her with praise whenever she pleased Epstein sexually and even clapping after the first time she made him ejaculate. 

Maxwell has long denied the many allegations against her from a number of women. 

She remains in prison serving a 20-year sentence for her crimes, but she is the only person in Epstein’s orbit to have been sent down for what is described as a worldwide, pedophile ring. 

Epstein killed himself in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial.

Black’s attorneys have strenuously denied the most recent lawsuit filed by Jane Doe. 

They say he has never before met the girl who claims he raped her.
