he Prisoners for Palestine protest group confirmed the climate activist had been arrested at a demonstration in support of the Palestine Action members on hunger strike in prison.

Yesterday, at the White House, Leon Black’s 40-year-old son Ben was sworn in by J. D. Vance as C.E.O. of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation. For Black, the billionaire co-founder of private-equity firm Apollo Global Management, the swearing-in was a proud moment. But given that he is currently under investigation by Senator Ron Wyden for the millions that he paid the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein—allegedly for tax- and estate-planning services—and that Congress recently compelled the Department of Justice to release its remaining Epstein files, his son’s appointment to such a powerful post comes at a particularly fraught time.

“I never want to have any more uncomfortable money moments with you , I find it very distasteful,” Epstein wrote in a Nov. 2, 2015 email to the Apollo Global Management founder.
“so to be clear , my terms are as follows . I will only work for the usual 40 million per year. It needs to be paid, 25 million upon signing an agreement . 5 million every 2 months thereafter for 6 months ie march may june . this can begin if i am able in January. I will immediately stop work , if the payment is not received [sic]” he wrote, according to the outlet.
The emails sent to Black by Epstein in 2015 and 2016 illustrates the strong relationship between the two men, who were close friends as well as business associates.

In an emailed statement to CBS MoneyWatch in June of 2023, JPMorgan called Epstein‘s behavior „monstrous,“ and said it regretted any association with the disgraced financier.
Epstein also had financial dealings with Deutsche Bank, which in May 2023 agreed to pay $75 million to settle a lawsuit alleging the German bank „knowingly benefited“ from his sex trafficking and profited from doing business with him.

In October, Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Democrat from Maryland, pointed to $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions that had been flagged by the banks and were tied to Epstein‘s alleged sex trafficking crimes. The same month, Bank of America was sued by one of Epstein‘s victims, who alleged the bank facilitated and also benefited from his alleged crimes.
