snip-"Wexner's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was unusually close
"When Leslie Wexner met Jeffrey Epstein, he apparently remarked that Jeffrey Epstein was so exciting, that Epstein was everything that Les Wexner thought was lacking in Ohio," said Barry Levine, author of "The Spider: Inside the Criminal Web of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell."
snip-" In 1991, Wexner did something that Washington Post reporter Sarah Ellison has never seen in all of her years of reporting. He granted full power of attorney to Epstein, giving Epstein control over his assets.
"He managed his investments, he managed his businesses," Ellison said in the documentary. "There wasn't a part of Wexner's empire that Epstein didn't have access to and didn't have some ability to control. To give carte blanche to someone, the way he did with Epstein, is such a puzzle."
snip-Epstein, who once posed as a Victoria's Secret recruiter, even placed an ad in The Dispatch one year when Wexner and his wife, Abigail, needed a nanny at their New Albany home.
"What it implied to me was that he may have managed the money but clearly, Epstein was deeply involved in the personal lives of Abigail and Les," Fedus-Fields said.

(34,278 posts)I dated a real estate lawyer when I first moved here in 89, we both thought he was a down low gay man deep in the closet. I never considered that there was any pedophile connection.
Wexner was a huge player in Columbus for decades, OSU affiliation with him got the OSU medical centernamed for him-The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center & the Wexner Arts Center.
