Release of Epstein Files Paves the Way to Potentially Expose Billionaire Power, Tax Evasion & Abuses

The group of associates of financier and sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein is already known to include several billionaires. Some of them—including private equity investor Leon Black—paid Epstein for financial and tax advice that supposedly saved them billions.

The American people have the right to know to the fullest extent to which billionaires were involved with Jeffrey Epstein, especially if their relationship continued after his first arrest. Whether those billionaires employed Epstein to dodge their fair share of taxes or evade taxes legally owed—or whether their relationship with him instead demonstrates their lack of regard for rules of common decency that govern the rest of us—the Epstein affair shows again how billionaires are harming our society and why we should bring them to heel through effective taxation.
