Apollo’s Dark Orbit: Investors Confront the Epstein Fallout

For years, Apollo Global told investors the same thing. The firm said it had never done business with Jeffrey Epstein.

But newly released records in 2026 suggested a different story.

Back in 2021, Apollo told investors the firm had never done business with Jeffrey Epstein. Those statements appeared in filings and public disclosures. Investors were told the company had conducted an internal investigation and stood by those conclusions.

But new documents started surfacing in early 2026. Emails and records showed Epstein had communicated with senior Apollo leaders in the 2010s. He discussed tax strategies, received internal financial calculations, and even helped arrange meetings tied to company business. In a recently filed lawsuit, investors allege that was never disclosed. When the news broke in February 2026, confidence cracked.

Apollo's stock slid and investors were stunned.

Now, investors have filed a securities class action lawsuit.
