The latest release of Justice Department records tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation provide new details about the finances of a former Ukrainian model and now art adviser and collector who received at least $2.5 million in personal transfers from the American billionaire Leon Black between 2011 and 2015.
The email correspondence shows Epstein playing a significant role at least until 2018 in coordinating the financial affairs of Anastasiya Siroochenko, including liaising with accountants and auditors, overseeing tax documentation and tracking the movement of funds between her personal accounts and art-related companies.
An accountant overseeing her finances has resigned after raising concerns about how a property purchase has been handled, according to the cache of emails reviewed by Toronto Television’s OSINT unit.
Black, a co-founder of Apollo Global Management Inc, was a longtime Epstein client and paid him roughly $158 million for tax and investment advice, according to reporting by The New York Times.
The newly released records do not allege criminal wrongdoing by Siroochenko or Black, and they do not show Black directing or participating in the email exchanges. But they offer a detailed view of how Epstein operated as a financial intermediary, inserting himself into complex arrangements involving wealthy clients, younger associates and opaque financial structures, particularly in the art market.
