    What did Jeffrey Epstein do to earn hundreds of millions of dollars from a handful of wealthy clients like the private equity billionaire Leon Black? He helped rich people pay less in taxes. https://nyti.ms/2YfpcqX

        “The Dechert report conceded that the compensation that Mr. Black had paid to Mr. Epstein “far exceeded any amounts” paid to his other professional advisers.”

        I think that and a few other quotes are the writers saying as clearly as they can given what NYT lawyers probably told them and what the house style allows in the absence of direct evidence that they explanation offered for Epstein's "fees" are extremely suspicious.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Quote from the article itself by DC lawyer/investigator Jack Blum: “You could be the best lawyer in Manhattan working on the most complicated trusts and estates and it would never come anywhere close to that kind of money,” he said.” The headline is bizarre. Makes it boring.

        The headlines get picked up and travel around the world. The detailed reporting within, not so much. I'm still angry about @nytimes headlines throughout 2015/16, things like, "Trump-Russia: No Connection" and "Clinton Campaign Rocked by New Emails" I'm paraphrasing here.

        "Say Lou, didya hear the one about the guy who wanted to be a tax advisor but he didn't know enough about tax law so he just blackmailed his clients and called it tax advice?" "Yah, that's a good one."
