I searched "Josh Harris" in the Epstein Library and it returned over 500 documents. I went to the "Last" one and found a ten page email from whistleblower Chris Dilorio from May 2019.
The graphic above has a small portion of the email (which I later found on Roll Call). It begins with Environmental Solutions Worldwide (ESW). Dilorio called ESW a "money laundering shell."
FT reported:
Mr (Leon) Black (Apollo co-founder), his trusts, and members of his immediate family owned around 40 per cent (of ESW stock) from 2011 through to 2014, according to corporate filings that also listed Richard Ressler, Mr Black’s brother-in-law, as a shareholder.The board included John Suydam, Apollo Global Management’s chief legal officer, John Hannan, chairman of Apollo Investment Corporation, and two of Mr Black’s sons, Benjamin and Joshua, according to the filings.
Dilorio asserted that numerous government agencies, Jeffrey Epstein (6% owner of ESW) and numerous powerful PEUs, many Apollo affiliated, knew of ESW's money laundering.
He went on to say "let's give these scumbags the insurance/annuities market" after which he predicted a bad ending for many Americans.
The message references private equity's numerous insurance company takeovers, after which they stacked the insurer's investment portfolio with their private equity/private credit offerings.
I asked my wise friend for his thoughts on the Dilorio email:
This is exactly how you can launder money from criminal enterprises and it's been going on for a long time. Look at all the names. What a bunch of scumbags.
Apollo hired Dechert to investigate Apollo's ties to Epstein. First, Epstein owned a large chunk of Apollo stock via his business entities.
The Department of Justice's Epstein document release calls into question Mr. Black's assertions. There are emails about Epstein advising on Apollo's Athene buyout. Epstein ate breakfast with Apollo's Marc Rowan and Josh Harris numerous times.
At some point authorities will investigate the role private equity underwriters (PEU) had in making insurance unaffordable. That might be just another part of Jeffrey Epstein's PEU legacy.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren. Increasingly, more are one which makes it harder for government to get off their keister and actually protect people, especially retirees and underage girls.
