Union calls for SEC inquiry into Apollo's 'misleading' Epstein ties
Read Original Source
A union with 1.8 million members is asking the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate Apollo Global Management's past statements about Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter to the SEC's head of enforcement on Tuesday, the American Federation of Teachers accused the asset manager of making "misleading" claims about its exposure to the convicted sex offender.
AI Summary
Main Idea: A teachers union is asking the SEC to investigate whether Apollo Global Management gave investors a misleading picture of its ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Key Points:
- The American Federation of Teachers says Apollo downplayed the reach of its Epstein connections in earlier public statements.
- The union points to newly released Justice Department files that it says show a fuller and less flattering link between Apollo leaders and Epstein.
- Apollo says its 2021 disclosure was accurate and that only cofounder Leon Black had a business or personal relationship with Epstein.
- The union says its pension funds are invested with Apollo and argues investors deserve a clear and complete account of the risk.
Impact on the People
