Jeffrey Epstein sent a barrage of nasty emails to his cash cow, billionaire Leon Black, pressuring him to fork over millions of dollars per year to keep his lavish lifestyle afloat.
The disgraced financier and sex trafficker warned that Blacks financial advisors and retarded children had created a really dangerous mess by attempting to plug the flow of cash, according to emails obtained by the New York Times.
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.

Susan Estrich, a lawyer for Black, asserted that all payments from Black to Epstein were purely for legitimate tax- and estate-planning services, as proven by an outside law firm hired by Apollo to review the pairs relationship.
