snip-"Ghislaine Maxwell told a deputy U.S. attorney general that Jeffrey Epstein "ran New Albany" and that New Albany billionaire Les Wexner was, in her opinion, Epstein's best friend for a time.
Maxwell's comments comes from a Justice Department transcript released Friday from interviews with the imprisoned Maxwell on July 24 and 25."
snip-"When Epstein was indicted on sex trafficking charges in 2019, Wexner wrote an email to L Brands employees:
"When Mr. Epstein was my personal money manager, he was involved in many aspects of my financial life. But let me assure you that I was NEVER aware of the illegal activity charged in the indictment," Wexner wrote."

(35,805 posts)One of Epsteins chief businesses was black mail and extortion.
He might have had the goods on Les to become his financial
manager.
Wexner sexual proclivities were pretty much known in Central, Ohio
and they ran into gay adult sex and it is rumored that he had a thing
for younger teen boys too.
Wexners wife is a beard but she and Les have been very generous to charities.
If Epstein was supplying Wexner with sex partners they would have been XY.

Btw Wexners Store Victorias Secrets products must have been damaged when
they were shipped because they didnt look the same on my Ex as they did in the
catalog or on the models.
