\n US Virgin Islands authorities will issue subpoenas to Leon Black and his private-equity giant Apollo Global Management, demanding that they fork over details of their ties to pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

Black, a billionaire buyout king who is chairman of New York\u2019s Museum of Modern Art, has come under scrutiny for maintaining ties with Epstein \u2014 who killed himself last year while facing federal sex-trafficking charges \u2014 even after his 2008 guilty plea to procuring a minor for sex.<\/p>\n

The subpoenas are part of a lawsuit that Virgin Islands Attorney General<\/a> Denise N. George filed against Epstein\u2019s estate in January accusing him of sexually abusing underage girls as recently as last year on his private islands Little St. James and Great St. James, which are part of the US Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n

Last month, an Epstein accuser claimed in newly unsealed court documents that Epstein and his alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell used the private islands to host \u201cconstant\u201d orgies and once flew in a group of European models to fulfill their sexual fetishes.<\/p>\n

George\u2019s office \u2014 which wants Epstein\u2019s estate to forfeit the islands, and could distribute the more than $500 million he left behind to his victims in the region \u2014 filed a copy of a sweeping subpoena with a court there last week seeking information about Apollo\u2019s relationship to Epstein and entities linked to him, records show.<\/p>\n

As The Post has reported, Black listed Epstein as a director at his charity until the end of 2012, which he chalked up to a clerical error. Black \u2014 who has said he was \u201ccompletely unaware\u201d of the sex-trafficking charges against Epstein \u2014 has said the pervert money manager gave him advice on taxes, estate planning and philanthropy, but has kept mum on details.<\/p>\n

In 2015, a company tied to Black\u2019s charitable foundation donated $10 million to a charity backed by Epstein. Black also anonymously donated $5 million to the MIT Media<\/a> Lab at Epstein\u2019s urging, according to a university report, as well as several million dollars to Harvard professors.<\/p>\n

The authorities have asked Apollo for financial statements and account records going back to 1998, along with any correspondence the firm had with Epstein or his companies in that time, according to a copy provided to The Post.<\/p>\n

George\u2019s office said authorities filed separate subpoenas targeting Black himself and other entities including Black Family Partners and Elysium Management, which reportedly handle part of Black\u2019s $9 billion fortune.<\/p>\n

The AG wants tax returns and financial statements from those two firms and are also seeking information from companies Black has used to amass his private art collection, according to the New York Times, which first reported on the subpoenas Sunday.<\/p>\n

The AG also wants Black to hand over records related to the Southern Trust Company, Epstein\u2019s startup that received millions of dollars in fees from Black and his firms, the Times reported. Southern Trust is one of more than 40 \u201cEpstein Entities\u201d named in the Apollo subpoena.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s uncertain when the subpoenas will be served as the coronavirus pandemic has largely shut down Virgin Islands courts, according to the Times.<\/p>\n

An Apollo spokesperson said the company has never done business with Epstein. The spokesperson referred questions about the subpoenas to Black\u2019s representatives, who did not immediately comment Monday.<\/p>\n

Some of the information about Black\u2019s payments to Epstein was unearthed in a review by Deutsche Bank, which reached a $150 million settlement with New York regulators last month for missing red flags in Epstein\u2019s finances, according to the Times.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
