As if Leon didn't have the best tax accountants and tax lawyers at his beck and call. No, he would rather rely on tax advice from someone who is not an accountant, not a tax lawyer, not someone registered with the IRS in any manner (except possibly as someone who was involved in tax evasion schemes) and not someone nationally recognized as a tax expert. Total fucking bullshit. If that is Mr. Black's story, he should be able to show all the communications, memorandums, worksheets, proposals, and tax filings implementing Epstein's tax advice, including all communications, etc. with real tax professionals explaining why Epstein's tax advice was nonsensical.

Show your proof Leon. And don't say the dog ate your homework. Hedge fund folks keep all their tax and related paperwork forever because they know they might/should be audited by the IRS.
