That's something I wouldn't know, but then I'm not the CEO of a $70 billion company that manages over $900 billion in assets.
He may not have known exactly what Epstein did, but that's probably because he deliberately closed his eyes to Epstein's activities. As long as his business was doing well, there wasn't any need to look too deeply into things that would have upset the apple cart.
