The latest reports from “Little St. Jeff’s,” the notorious Caribbean hideaway of Jeffrey Epstein, are startling. One recent visitor was allegedly hog-tied naked. Would-be interlopers on jet skis have been chased away. Another, apparently, was bound with duct tape and assaulted in the presence of police officers. Epstein has been dead for almost seven years, but this strange new drama is now playing out on what was once his private island — Little St. James in the US Virgin Islands. The new owner, distressed-debt billionaire and Black Diamond founder Stephen Deckoff, has been besieged by curiosity-seekers and voyeurs.

Blackstone Life Sciences, which has some $17 billion in assets under management, typically invests in late-stage medicines invented by biotech and pharmaceutical companies in exchange for a royalty on future sales. In 2024, for example, the firm invested as much as $750 million in financing for Moderna’s flu vaccine development. But Blackstone also wants to own a stake in some companies that it backs. In late March, Blackstone closed its latest life-sciences fund with $6.3 billion of commitments, the firm’s biggest haul for backing clinical trials of medicines and technologies. Dr. Jenny Rooke is Founder and Managing Director of Genoa Ventures. She discusses the cross between tech and health with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.

Apple delivered second-quarter revenue that edged past analysts’ estimates, helped by demand for the iPhone and Mac, while failing to produce the blowout results that some investors were anticipating. Revenue gained 17% to $111.2 billion during the period, which ended March 28, the company said in a statement Thursday. Analysts had anticipated $109.7 billion on average. Apple itself had projected sales growth of 13% to 16%. The company is benefiting from a series of new products launched in March, including the MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e, updated iPad Air models and a fresh MacBook Pro. The $599 Neo — Apple’s first major push into low-cost laptops — has been particularly popular and remains sold out at several retailers. Still, the results were uneven. Apple fell short of expectations in the Americas and Europe regions, while exceeding projections in China and other parts of Asia. The iPhone — its flagship product — was in line with the average Wall Street estimate. Today's show features: See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
