The school photo company Lifetouch is owned by the Apollo group, who’s founder Leon Black is a major Epstein player. The link is very tenuous, but given how widespread the coverup has been I understand why people are freaked out by even a small connection.

From Snopes/Yahoo:

There’s no evidence that Lifetouch, as a company, conspired with or even corresponded with Epstein. Lifetouch’s current CEO, Ken Murphy, is not in the public Epstein files.

These claims began because Lifetouch’s parent company is owned by private equity firm Apollo Global Management, whose ex-CEO, Leon Black, has come under scrutiny for his close financial and personal relationship to Epstein.

Apollo acquired Lifetouch’s parent company, Shutterfly, when Black ran the private equity firm. Lifetouch’s president at the time, Greg Hintz, was not in the available Epstein files.

In a statement, Lifetouch said Apollo is “not involved in the day-to-day operations” of Lifetouch and that the company has never provided images to any third party. A spokesperson for Lifetouch told Snopes that any allegations it was involved with Epstein’s crimes are “completely false.”
