More about Wexner and his connection to Jeffrey Epstein:

He retained Jeffrey Epstein as his financial manager from 1987 to 2007 and was initially the "main client" of Epstein’s money-management firm, according to Bloomberg. Epstein ran his business out of a house Wexner owned and sometimes resided in while Advisor of Victoria's Secret.

Wexner hired Jeffrey Epstein as his financial manager from 1987 to 2007. He was the primary client of Epstein, who claimed to only work with clients with a net worth of $1 billion or higher. Wexner purchased his New York property, the Herbert N. Straus House, in 1989 and sold it to Epstein in the mid-1990s following Wexner's marriage to his wife, Abigail Koppel. In July 1991, Wexner granted Epstein power of attorney and also instated him as a trustee on the board of the Wexner Foundation.

Wexner has been accused of failing to take action when complaints were raised against Epstein, after executives of L Brands reported (in the mid-1990s) that Epstein was abusing his power and connection to Wexner by posing as a recruiter for Victoria's Secret models. A visual artist known as Maria Farmer contacted local and federal authorities about an assault she allegedly endured by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell while working as an artist-in-residence on Wexner's Ohio property in 1996. Within a year of Farmer's complaint, actress Alicia Arden filed a police report in Los Angeles detailing that Epstein had misrepresented himself as a recruiter for Victoria's Secret prior to another alleged assault.

In early 2006, Epstein was charged in Florida with "multiple counts of molestation and unlawful sexual activity with a minor". The New York Times reported that 18 months after the charges were filed, Wexner cut his ties with Epstein.

This Epstein controversy doesn't only include a list of people or flight logs to his private island, it involves an entire criminal network that is layers upon layers deep.
