Black, Debra Black) American investor and art collector Leon Black is the latest high profile figure to be dragged into the Jeffrey Epstein debacle. The sexagenarian who owns a version of Edvard Munch’s masterpiece The Scream (and who reportedly paid $119.9 million for it, the highest price ever paid for a work of art at auction at that time) is under scrutiny from officials in the US Virgin Islands over his decades-long ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Black, who is the chairman of the Museum of Modern Art, and founder of the Wall Street investment firm Apollo Global Management, is the subject of civil subpoenas being sought by the territory’s attorney-general, according to the New York Times. They want Black to hand over information about his long-running business ties to the convicted sex offender, Epstein, who was found dead in jail last August. Photo by donna ward/ABACAPRESS.COM
